Inverter

[Stephen Birtles]

too much power in that system blows off braking energy as heat
also known as dynamic braking
you could use regenerative braking but you have to redesign the whole
coach electical and have the the lithium ion batteries to hold the
charge andthe sense and brking circuits to monitor and adapt the
charge The other down side is price of the batteries
A battery pack for a prius is around 5k to replace imgine the cost for
a 40,000 lb coach
