Scomi Rail / Propulsion, Braking & Power

Propulsion on Scomi Rail monorail is provided by electric motors. Traction power is by 750V or 1500V DC and rectified with VVVF converters. Power collection is by twin power rails, one on either side of the beam, with twin pantographs on the train. Braking is dynamic (regenerative) with air-operated backup. Maximum design speed is 90 kph (56mph) and the maximum service speed is 80 kph (50mph).
