Abstract : This article includes in two parts: the first is the description of a new electric locomotive AC and the second determines the maximum traction capabilities at the train weighing 9,000 tons with a resistance movement from the slope. Summary of the research allows to determine power constraints in conditions of Kazakhstan. The results can be used in normative documents of exploitation, allow to guarantee the safe exploitation at maximum load of the locomotive.
