Thomas Pumpelly (Email) 15.4Electric Motor Replacement:
Changing of electric motors will be more involved and water cooling may be incorporated to cool windings and lengthen service life at high speeds. Power may switch back and forth between front and rear engines to further avoid sustained high temperatures. Temperature monitors will advise the operator and Grid control in the event of “hot” motors and the vehicle will be automatically slowed, disconnected from other vehicles and Booted at the next exit.
