An electric braking system

An electric braking system for an electric track-bound vehicle comprising an electric permanent magnet machine (1) configured to be connected to an electric power source through a converter configured to control said machine by Pulse Width Modulation for propulsion of the vehicle by power transmission to wheels thereof comprises a first (4) and a second (7) electric braking device having each a current influencing arrangement (5, 8) and a control unit (6, 9) configured to control said arrangement to conduct current from electric terminals of the electric machine to at least one dissipative resistor (66, 10) for electric braking of the vehicle. Said two arrangements are controlled to operate in parallel to share and together deliver a total braking current ordered to said dissipative resistors.
