The TEP-60 diesel engine starter system is designed to operate efficiently in conjunction with current accumulators, allowing for the effective management of battery current both with and without the inclusion of a supercapacitor block. The operational characteristics of the induction traction motor are critical, especially concerning its torque-speed relationship during regenerative braking and traction phases. The AC/AC current system for the electric locomotive incorporates multiple components that facilitate the control and conversion of energy, ensuring optimal performance during various operational modes.

The hybrid traction system configuration, which integrates a diesel engine with synchronous and induction traction motors, showcases a versatile approach to energy management, particularly during regenerative braking. The system's design emphasizes the importance of energy recovery and efficient power distribution, utilizing advanced components like IGBT transistors and analog-to-digital converters to enhance control and responsiveness.

The complementary energy management system is integral to maintaining operational efficiency, particularly in managing energy transitions between traction and braking modes. The incorporation of a supercapacitor block alongside conventional batteries further enhances the system's ability to stabilize catenary current while maximizing energy savings.
