A8121 ED75-501 type after modification
- ED75 is an AC electric locomotive that appeared in 1963 (Showa 38) when the AC electrification of the Joban Line and Tohoku Main Line was extended. With a solid design that combines tap switching with magnetic amplifiers and silicon rectifiers, and the equipment of a drawbar that efficiently transmits tractive force, it has the performance of a DC F-class machine even though it is a D-class, making it the standard for AC electric locomotives. A total of 302 cars were manufactured as a type. The 0 series, which was taken over by JR Freight, was active until 2012 (Heisei 24), and was popular with many fans as a red bekoto by pulling a container train in a cascade.
-JNR is developing technology to make electrical parts contactless, and the ED75-500 series was completed for the Hokkaido electrification section test in 1966 (Showa 41) using this result. It was also called the S-type because of the adoption of phase control for all thyristors, making it maintenance-free and reducing the size and weight of the equipment. In addition, thorough cold and snow resistance equipment was applied, and it was used for later vehicle development.
- In 1968 (Showa 43), the pantograph was replaced with a lower frame crossing type common to the successor ED76-500 series, and the appearance changed. Due to the lack of steam heating facilities, there are restrictions on winter operation, so it was retired in 1986 (Showa 61) at the end of the JNR and is now statically preserved at the Otaru City General Museum.
