Spanish term or phrase: freno eléctrico por recuperación
I got regenerative brake for freno de recuperación, from Eurodicautom. But here it appears in two contexts. All help greatly appreciated.
Context: La oferta indicará la temperatura máxima de funcionamiento de las resistencias de freno y el tiempo durante el cual puede admitirse dicha temperatura. Sería deseable que el freno reostático esté dimensionado para suministrar una potencia temporal igual a la del freno por recuperación, admitiendo dos aplicaciones máximas consecutivas en vía horizontal, con el tren cargado, y desde la velocidad máxima ofertada hasta conseguir la parada total del Tren. Debe tenerse presente que es deseable que la potencia máxima del freno eléctrico por recuperación sea similar a la de tracción. Con todas estas condiciones, la temperatura alcanzada por las resistencias de freno no podrá superar la temperatura máxima de funcionamiento arriba indicada

electric regenerative brake
Explanation:
It also says regenerative brake in Robb's diccionario para ingenieros. Electrical doesn't get any hits.

I would translate it as it is. I never like adding or leaving out something unless I think it's absolutely necessary, after all there may be a reason for it which I'm not aware of.

Creería que simplemente...


Explanation:
se ha omitido en la primera opción mencionar que es un freno eléctrico. Yo le agregaría a la segunda aparición la palabra "electric(al)" simplemente.

Espero que te sea de ayuda.

Direct Current Traction Motor Systems
This page describes the development of electric train power equipment which uses resistance controlled Direct Current (DC) motors. This was the most common form of electric train control for almost 100 years until the advent of power electronics. On other pages you will find Electric Traction Drives, Multiple Unit Operation and Electronic Power Traction described. There is also an Electric Traction Glossary.

The DC motor was the mainstay of electric traction drives on both electric and diesel-electric for many years. It consists of two parts, a rotating armature and a fixed field. The fixed field consists of tightly wound coils of wire fitted inside the motor case. The armature is another set of coils wound round a central shaft. It is connected to the field through \"brushes\" which are spring loaded contacts pressing against an extension of the armature called the commutator. The commutator collects all the terminations of the armature coils and distributes them in a circular pattern to allow the correct sequence of current flow.

The motor works because, simply put, when a current is passed through the motor circuit, there is a reaction between the current in the field and the current in the armature which causes the armature to turn. The armature and the field are connected in series and the whole motor is referred to as \"series wound\".

A series wound DC motor has a low resistance field and armature circuit. Because of this, when voltage is applied to it, the current is high. (Ohms Law: current = voltage/resistance). The advantage of high current is that the magnetic fields inside the motor are strong, producing high torque (turning force), so it is ideal for starting a train. The disadvantage is that the current flowing into the motor has to be limited somehow, otherwise the supply could be overloaded and/or the motor and its cabling could be damaged. At best, the torque would exceed the adhesion and the driving wheels would slip. Traditionally, resistors were used to limit the initial current.

THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TRACTION MOTORS WITH REGENERATIVE BRAKING

S.L. Ho H.C. Wong* and S.K. Poon*

Department of Electrical Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
* Industrial Centre, Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Abstract

This paper describes a computer program developed to simulate the temperature distribution of a traction motor for a journey between two railway stations in Hong Kong. In particular, the authors have used the software to study the temperature distribution of the traction motor running with regenerative scheme along an entire railway network. Special attention are given to evaluate the temperature rise on the winding surface and at specific points where the insulation were reported to be damaged easily. Overall, the traction motor thermal model developed is useful for traction design engineers and timetablers who are required to check whether there are overheating inside the traction motor for a given duty.
