Do You Know The Difference Between A Mining Battery Car And A Mining Electric Locomotive?

The difference between a mining battery car and a mining electric locomotive is as follows:

The underground mining locomotive is powered by its own battery pack, so it has a wide range of applications, but needs to be charged regularly. The mining locomotive uses overhead DC lines for power supply (the power supply method is the same as that of ground trolleybuses and electric locomotives). Therefore, the range of use is limited by the power supply lines.

The mining battery car has low traction power, traction and endurance are limited by the capacity of the battery pack. It is not suitable for heavy-duty long-term operation. It is generally used for the transportation of materials and equipment in areas without overhead lines. The mining locomotive is mainly used for long-distance and heavy-load transportation in transportation lanes with overhead lines.

The mining electric locomotive is divided into two types: general mine type and special explosion-proof type according to the specific use environment. They are used in mines or areas without gas and coal dust explosion danger and with gas and coal dust explosion danger. The narrow gauge locomotive is only a underground mining locomotive type.
