**** Electro-Pneumatic Brakes For 3 Phase Locomotives *****
The electro-pneumatic (EP) brake was introduced in the early years of the 20th century in an attempt over come the lag in the operation of the pure air brake. Originally designed for subways or metros, electro-pneumatic brake systems are now common on main line passenger railways and on some specialised freight operations. Its main advantage over the air brake is its speed of control and quick on-vehicle reaction times, giving instantaneous control of the whole train to the driver. Its speed of operation makes it ideal for automatic train operation (ATO).
