What effect does pressing of the pedal or tilting of the electrodynamic brake's lever "beyond the limiter" induce?
Explanation
Correct answer: Activation of the rail brakes.
The electrodynamic brake is the primary service brake, used for the normal deceleration of the vehicle. Exceeding the resistance point, i.e., pressing the pedal or moving the lever "beyond the stop", is a deliberate action by the driver which activates the emergency braking mode. In rail vehicles, such as trams, the track brakes are activated in this mode, providing the greatest braking force.
