*********** Amazing Regenerative Ratio of Bhilai WAG-9(First Time in RDS Website of Indian Railways) *********
For the First Time I have seen any 3 Phase Locomotive for 86.933% Regenerative Ratio , that is also a WAG-9 of BIA Shed.
Please see the Attached Screenshots of RDS Website of Indian Railways where you can find that this WAG-9 (WAG-9 31279 of BIA)...

has the Highest Regenerative Ratio among all 40 RDS 3-Phase Locos(i.e WAP-7 & WAG-9).
Very Impressive Figure.
First Time seen such a Huge Power Generating Capacity for any 3-Phase Loco.
So, 3-Phase Loco can take very minimal Power from OHE & can generate maximum power through Regenerative Braking System which is proved from here.
3-Phase Locos are Big Power Saver for Railways isn't it ?

After this record it won't be surprising for us if we see 100% Regenerative Ratio for any 3-Phase Loco as because this Statistics shows that it can be possible.
