2009年6月30日 · The MP15AC is a variation of the MP15 built by EMD and GMD between 1975 and 1984. MP15AC's use an alternator that produces AC power which is converted to DC power before it reaches the traction motors by a silicon rectifier. Visually, the MP15AC is somewhat different from the standard MP15DC.

The MP15AC replaced the MP15DC's DC generator with an alternator producing AC power which is converted to DC for the traction motors with a silicon rectifier. The MP15AC is 1.5 ft (457 mm) longer than an MP15DC, the extra space being needed for the rectifier equipment.

The EMD MP15, sometimes referenced as MP15DC, is a 1,500 hp (1,119 kW) diesel–electric road switcher locomotive model produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1974 and 1980. It was equipped with a V12 12-645E engine sporting a Roots blower.
