	Hello, read an engine spec, says "regenerative power" is 32 kw... just wonder what does this Regenerative Power means?

	Hmmm..... Regeneration is a method of taking kinetic energy and sending it back into the supply in the case of a decelerating electric train. The energy is used to reduce the demands upon the power supply, rather than it being frittered away via braking friction. Some additional contextual information would be valuable here for the forum to give a more complete reply to the original post! __________________ The elephant is a funny bird.
