Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Traction

Advantages of Electric Traction As compared to steam traction, electric traction has the following advantages : 1. Cleanliness. Since it does not produce any smoke or corrosive fumes, electric traction is most suited for underground and tube railways. Also, it causes no damage to the buildings and other apparatus due to the absence of smoke … Read more
