· A very large brake piston and cylinder are required to generate the force necessary on the brake blocks.
· The existence of vacuum in the train pipe can cause debris to be sucked in
· A considerable volume of air has to be admitted to the train pipe to make a full brake application

What are the advantages of vacuum braking system over the other?
Simple in design.Ability to get partial release, something the pneumatic brake could not do without additional equipment.Greater amount of safety because the vacuum loss results in the braking of the vehicle.Highly reliable in the case of rail wagons.Permits the automatic application of brakes down the entire length of the train from a simple control in the drivers hand.Vacuum brakes are also fail safe since the vacuum is used for applying the brake.
Can a vacuum leak cause braking problems in a jeep yj?
On a vehicle equipped with power brakes the answer is yes. The P/B booster works on vacuum, so if the leak were severe enough it would make the brake pedal be very hard to push. Other than that, as vacuum leak would have no effect on braking.
What happen when you remove braking resistor on the inverter?
The system will lose it's regenerative braking function, if there is no other means to stop the motor it will coast to a stop.
What is dynamic braking used for?
Braking is used to bring the motor to stop quickly or instantly. Braking can be two way broadly. One is mechanical braking. Other method is electrical braking. One of the electrical braking is dynamic braking.
Why is a duel line braking system used in preference to a single?
Redundancy, if one fails the other is probably still working and can stop the vehicle by itself.

What is dual air braking system?
it is where the front and rear brakes of a big truck are split into 2 systems. The air from one system can transfer to the other if an air leak occurs. There are separate air tanks for each system with one common air compressor.
