Shunting Contactor (Electropneumatic)
Suitable for
AC locomotives with DC Propulsion
In an electric locomotive, shunting contactors are used for field weakening of the traction motors, a process necessary to increase the locomotive’s speed. Typically, a locomotive employs 18 to 24 shunting contactors to perform field weakening across its six traction motors.
