In the UK, Dynamic braking is an umbrella term covering both Rheostatic braking and Regenerative braking. In the US, Dynamic braking seems to be a synonym for Rheostatic braking. Is this correct? If so, I will add an explanation in the article. Biscuittin ( talk) 09:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
It appears this term is used in industrial and electric vehicle contexts too. This article appears to cover railroad use only!? -- Treekids ( talk) 19:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
This article implies that dynamic braking only applies to electric locomotives, but my understanding is that steam locomotives also use forms of dynamic braking known as counterpressure and countersteam braking which use air and steam respectively to achieve retardation through the cylinders and drive. Can we please include these other forms in the article with appropriate links? Bermicourt ( talk) 16:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Dynamic braking → Dynamic braking (locomotive) – The term "dynamic braking" is used in industrial electric motors and electric vehicles as well as railroads. This article is about the railroad use of the term and that's fine since there is a lot of good content on it but the name should be more precise. There is sufficient content here and on other pages to create a stub for a general purpose Dynamic braking article. Joja lozzo 15:45, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Different sources of electric power for field are listed. The list lacks accumulator/battery (used in e.g. trams). Would it be simpler to rephrase the list by just mentioning that external source of current is needed to create magnetic field? Dm5 ( talk) 05:22, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

dynamic braking until it was moved to its present title to make way for a general article on the topic. (See also the two move requests above.) However, "dynamic braking" now only exists as a redirect to this article since

the revision before redirect with this article. The

version of this article, but with most locomotive-specific text removed, which explains the similarity.

When an entry becomes overwrought, bloated and self-aware, so that even readers very familiar with the topic (and desirous of reading) must claw their way through tortured sentences, it’s time to step back, take a breath and re-write.
This was an article I was looking forward to … until I got into it. Take, for example, the piece beginning, “Since the role of …”
You can chop that down, cut the length in half and clearly explain the phenomena without attempting to produce a stilted 1950s engineering textbook. What are you really trying to say?
Please think of the reader. You are here for them, for us all. You are not here to obfuscate in the glare of shining light upon yourself, otherwise turning interested readers away. Your role here is to be of benefit, to educate, to explain and illuminate.
Today especially, Dynamic Braking is a very relevant topic. Show people this with a clear, concise, and compelling explanation.
