I have a problem with BR 110 and 103 locos. I haven't completed any route on these locos yet. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but after the next stop, the locomotive doesn't want to move on, and there is a dead silence in the cabin. The tutorial only explains the basics. It doesn't say what to do in case of such a failure
You may be tripping the main circuit breaker by drawing too much current. Accelerate slower, watch the traction force gauge (the left large one in front of you) and do not get over half of it. If you trip it, return the tap changer to zero, and close the main circuit breaker by appropriate switch by your left hand.
For the 103, don't turn on the transformer for longer than 2 minutes otherwise it'll overload which is explained in the tutorials. It's just there to give more speed rather than it being required to be on to work. Also best practice is to apply brake after putting throttle to 0 and waiting until amps drop. If you ever overload, close mcb and restart. For the 110, if you apply power too much at one time, it will overload so you have to be real careful. Don't want to go over 65kn i think. But apply a little bit at a time. If overloaded, reset throttle, close mcb, reapply
In my experience, nowhere on the LRS is fast enough for the 103 to need the transformer boost; I never use it.
Make that 40kN. 60 is theoretically doable but you don’t push a 110 that high during normal operation. 40kN is plenty.
Rennekton probably referenced the sticker on the gauge that says "65 kN = 100 %". But yeah, in reality you don't want to be hugging the maximum power, although I have doubts if developers know that and count with it when planning the in-game timetables.
Just in case there was any confusion about this. The "65 Kn = 100 %" has nothing to do with the maximum tractive effort or the tractive effort that trips breakers. It is there to tell the driver how much dynamic brake effort the 100% reading on the gauge corresponds to.
Try accelerating slower and then max taps 25-28. Remember on the other Tap Changer the DR BR250 DB & Press 155 going to Max taps 25-30 you don't hear a cracking sound when the Circuit Breaker is tripped.
