the supply in glower is ac or dc?
ac current
these were 1st class of wide gauge's(w) bi-current charged(ca - runs both under ac and dc) and mixed load series(m - hauls both passenger and freight trains). these were the first electric locomotives to enter western railway's mumbai division. prior to that steam and diesel locomotives used to haul trains in western railway's mumbai division. these brought end to the steam era in this division. they were also the first locomotives allotted to valsad (bl) shed. their top speed under dc is also the lowest compared to other bi-current charged locomotives. they were the first bi-current charged locomotives in the country. initially all were vacuum braked but were retrofitted with air brakes to make them dual braked. some also had there vacuum brakes replaced with air brakes. introduced in 1975. one of the single pantographs on the wcam-1 is used in dc traction; the other one carries ac current. the two pantographs were not identical, though similar in design. originally built with vacuum brakes only, although a few (nos. 21805, 21807, 21812, 21828, 21838, 21844, 21845, and 21850) had both vacuum and air brakes. they also lack dynamic brakes. the wcam-1 does not use a variable ratio auto-transformer in ac mode like the others; it uses a fixed-ratio transformer and rectifier bank to convert the ohe supply to 1500 v dc. the design of the transformers and notches makes this a hard machine to operate, with the fusible links tending to blow often. of the 28 notches, notches 4, 14, 21, and 28 can be used for continuous operation, although notch 4 was intended for low-speed shunting and is very ineffective. notches 14, 21, and 28 were the terminal notches of the series, series-parallel, and parallel circuit notch sequences. in dc mode, the wcam-1 uses resistor banks for speed control. however they were very robust machines and relatively easy in the handling characteristics. wcam-1's had three traction modes (series, series-parallel, parallel) in both dc and ac mode, but using the parallel mode in dc was discouraged because of power problems. in practice this was not restrictive since series-parallel notches allowed reaching 75 km/h or so. in ac mode, the locos were almost always used with the motors in all-parallel mode. unlike the wcam-2 and wcam-3 locos, no reconfiguration has been carried out to force the use of all-parallel mode with ac. weak field operation is available. they were briefly tried out for freight use by cr, but all finally ended up with wr. the top ones getting the wcam-2p (see below). [5/02] however, recently cr's indore-pune weekly train has been hauled by a wr wcam-1. max. speed 100 km/h, 110 km/h after regearing. traction motors were nose-suspended and axle-hung.

grace finds the sickly gabriel, who is then put in quarantine. it is revealed that von glower is the hundreds-years-old black wolf, and in a letter he pleads gabriel to embrace his lycanthropy and to join him as a werewolf. grace finds the score to wagner's lost opera, and a great performance is arranged. von glower is in the audience, and in the climax von glower and gabriel both turn into wolves, and gabriel is able to cure himself by killing von glower.
