EMU train has ________ and automatic types of working brakes. A. EP Brakes B. Power Brake C. Hand Brake D. None of these

EP Brakes
Power Brake
Hand Brake
None of these

The correct answer is: A. EP Brakes and Power Brake.

EP brakes are electro-pneumatic brakes, which are a type of brake that uses electricity to control the application of pneumatic brakes. Power brakes are a type of brake that uses air pressure to apply the brakes. Both EP brakes and power brakes are automatic types of working brakes, which means that they are applied automatically when the train is stopped or when there is an emergency.

Hand brakes are a type of brake that is applied manually by the train operator. Hand brakes are not automatic, and they are not typically used as the primary means of braking a train.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each type of brake:

  • EP brakes: EP brakes are electro-pneumatic brakes, which means that they use electricity to control the application of pneumatic brakes. EP brakes are typically used on high-speed trains, as they provide a more powerful and reliable braking system than other types of brakes.
  • Power brakes: Power brakes are a type of brake that uses air pressure to apply the brakes. Power brakes are typically used on all types of trains, as they provide a more powerful and reliable braking system than hand brakes.
  • Hand brakes: Hand brakes are a type of brake that is applied manually by the train operator. Hand brakes are not typically used as the primary means of braking a train, but they can be used in an emergency to stop the train.
