<p>[quote user="JayPotter"]</p><p>[quote user="Lars Loco"]Ok, 90% may not apply to extreme conditions (speeds down to zero), as this should result in spinning wheels.[/quote] </p><p>The units' standard adhesion-management software prevents any traction motor from producing more than 30,000 pounds of tractive effort. In other words, once speed drops below about 11 mph, the unit will not produce more than 180,000 pounds of tractive effort regardless of how much further the speed drops. Advanced versions of the software set the limit higher, up to a maximum of 36,000 pounds per motor or 200,000 pounds per unit. </p><p>[/quote] </p><p>10% increased tractive effort, not bad doing this just adjusting the software...</p><p> </p><p> </p>
