Dual-system locomotive 363.5
The 363.5 locomotive came about from modernizing original 163 DC locomotives.
This modernization included, for example, installing a new traction transformer and completely new electric AC and DC equipment.
To increase operator comfort, the original doors to the cabin and engine room were replaced with new ones with better seals. The panels were equipped with new controls and indicators. A completely new master control system with TFT displays on the engineer’s panel was installed and the locomotives can be driven with two operators. The power for the traction motors was increased to 925 kW, the original compressors were replaced with one oil-free compressor driven by an asynchronous motor. The coaches have been approved for operating on SŽDC, ŽSR and MAV tracks.
