What part does the diesel engine play when in dynamic brake mode. I know the traction motors are then generators loaded by a heat disipation grid using fans to cool the grid and distribute the heat. The engineer, once switched to dynamic brakes, can increase and decrease the brakeing force of the dynamic brakes using the throttle. How is this accomplished? What part does this power play and how does it do it?[:)] Thanks. Robert Graves.
