Tokyo Metro 5000 Series
The was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type first built 1964, which operated as 3-car sets on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line branchline in Tokyo, Japan until 2014. 10-car sets were used on the Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line until March 2007. Set 5109,5816,5817 have also been shipped to Indonesia, where they operate on the Kereta Commuter Indonesia system in Jakarta. Chiyoda Line 3-car sets Until 30 May 2014, two three-cars sets were in operation, sets 61 and 62. These two aluminium-bodied sets were used on the Chiyoda Line branch between Ayase and Kita-Ayase, and were formed as shown below. Cars 2 and 3 were each fitted with one single-arm pantograph. Tozai Line 10-car sets Ten-car 5000 series sets operated on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line from December 1964 until March 2007. They were also used on the JR Chuo-Sobu Line between Nakano Station (Tokyo), Nakano Station and Mitaka Station, between Nishi-Funabashi Station and Tsudanuma Station (weekday mornings and evenings only), an ...

Dynamic Braking
Dynamic braking is the use of an electric traction motor as a generator when slowing a vehicle such as an electric or diesel-electric locomotive. It is termed " rheostatic" if the generated electrical power is dissipated as heat in brake grid resistors, and " regenerative" if the power is returned to the supply line. Dynamic braking reduces wear on friction-based braking components, and regeneration lowers net energy consumption. Dynamic braking may also be used on railcars with multiple units, light rail vehicles, electric trams, trolleybuses, and electric and hybrid electric automobiles. Principle of operation Converting electrical energy to the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft (electric motor) is the inverse of converting the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft to electrical energy (electric generator). Both are accomplished through the interactions of armature windings with a (relatively) moving external magnetic field, with the armature connected to an electrical ...

Tōyō Rapid 1000 Series
The is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type formerly operating on the Tōyō Rapid Railway Line, an extension of the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line in Tokyo, Japan. A total of twelve ten-car sets were converted in 1995 from former TRTA 5000 series sets. They were retired from service in December 2006, replaced by the Tōyō Rapid 2000 series. The last three sets to be withdrawn (1061, 1081, 1091) were shipped to Indonesia in 2006 and 2007, where they are operated by KRL Jabodetabek on suburban services in the Jakarta area.
