The author discusses the economics of mine transport using conventional, step-controlled locomotives and thyristor-controlled locomotives. The costs are calculated at the cost level of 31. Dec. 1970. Characteristics of master-controlled and thyristor-controlled 24.4 kW locomotives have been recorded at the locomotive test bench of the Institute for Mining and Metallurgical Machinery of the RWTH Aachen; the two types of locomotive can be coupled and used as double locomotive. These characteristics, as well as the running resistance of a medium- and a large-volume tab measured for various running angles on the same test bench, have been used as a basis for the studies. On the basis of these data, hauls between the shaft and the loading point of a mine have been calculated. (ERA citation 08:032007)
