Slide 4
Introduction and Overview to Propulsion and Dynamic Braking
Key Terms• Rheostatic braking• Blended braking• Regenerative braking• Brake circuit
4
INSTRUCTIONAL EVENT: Present content.
TIME: 2 minutes
SAY: Here are some key terms that we will use in this module. Each of these terms is defined in your Participant Guide. Have a look at these terms. Turn to page 75 of your Participant Guide and circle those terms you are familiar with.
DO: Encourage participants to actively seek terms they may not completely understand or know about. Give participants time to read through the key terms and circle them. If time permits, ask participants to share some of the key terms they circled.

Dynamic Braking
Slide 6
Introduction and Overview to Propulsion and Dynamic Braking
Dynamic BrakingDynamic braking can produce electrical energy in two ways:
Regenerative braking: Returns power back to the source if the DC high voltage power source is receptive
Rheostatic braking: Returns power to brake grid resistors if the DC high voltage power source is not receptive.

INSTRUCTIONAL EVENT: Present content.
TIME: 2 minutes
SAY: Dynamic braking can produce electrical energy in two ways.
DO: Ask volunteers to read each bullet point for braking types as it is displayed.

Other Types of Braking Systems
Slide 9
Introduction and Overview to Propulsion and Dynamic Braking
Other Brake SystemsDepending on railcar type, design and other requirements, rail vehicles are equipped with other types of brakes.Friction braking• Disc brake rotors, calipers, hydraulics/pneumatic and
proportional control valves are used to slow the train.Hydraulic or Pneumatic Disk Braking• Braking systems which use fluid or air as the force to
push blocks on to wheels or pads on to discs.Track brakes• Brakes with pushbutton on the operator's console.

INSTRUCTIONAL EVENT: Present content.
TIME: 2 minutes
SAY: Depending on railcar type, design and other requirements, rail vehicles are equipped with other types of brakes.
DO: Call on students to read the different components of the line input next to the picture.

Compare Types of Brake Commands
5 minutes to discuss in group
Report back!
INSTRUCTIONAL EVENT: Provide learning activity.
TIME: 2 minutes
SAY: We’re going to do this exercise in small groups. [Allow participants to divide themselves in groups of 2 or 3]. Turn to page 81 in the Participant Guide. I’d like your group to take 5 minutes to discuss Question 1 in the exercise, then each group will give a report back to the entire classroom. In the mean time I am going to project the table on Page 81.
DO: Advance to next slide.
