The ED101 series electric train, better known as the KRL Rheostatic, is a non-AC electric train that has been operating across the Commuter Jabodetabek since 1976 until 2013, after the abolition of all non-AC KRL operations on July 25, 2013. The KRL was co-produced Completely Built-Up (CBU) by Nippon Sharyo, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Hitachi, Ltd. from 1976 to 1987. KRL with a total of 120 units uses Rheostat technology.[1]
This car is divided into two types, namely Rheostatic Mild Steel (1976–1984) and Rheostatic Stainless Steel (1986 and 1987). This train comes with KRD MCW 301 and 302 and is made by the same manufacturer, therefore the body design is quite similar. The design of this train is also quite similar to KRL in Japan, namely KRL JNR series 101 and 103. This train uses Rheostat technology, because at that time Chopper technology had not been used much, but also to reduce manufacturing costs. The technology is also similar to KRL JNR series 101 and 103. The striking appearance of this KRL is the "butterfly tie" slogan cover on its machinist cabin glass, though slowly almost entirely has been removed.
This KRL is also one of the reliable KRL Economics, because it is rarely problematic compared to other KRL Economics such as BN-Holec, also because it can cross the route Serpong and Tangerang which can make other KRL-KRL Economics problematic due to some constraints. This KRL also does not have spare parts such as the BN-Holec KRL which caused its factory (BN-Bombardier and Holec Ridderkerk) to close, it is evident that there are still many Rheostatic KRLs operating until the end of their tenure, except for units damaged due to accidents.
The entire KRL unit is under the care of Balai Yasa Manggarai and is distributed in several dipos in Jabodetabek from the beginning to the end of its tenure. This KRL has served in all KRL Jabodetabek crossings.
History[1]
PJKA Time (1976–1990)
This KRL is known as the most legendary KRL in history because it has been the backbone of KRL in Indonesia for more than 37 years. In 1976, this KRL came to Indonesia to replace the KRL and the electric locomotive (including ESS 3201) that had existed since the Dutch occupation.[2] KRL is made of two types of steel, namely mild steel and stainless steel. This KRL comes with the KRD MCW 301 diesel train and MCW 302. This KRL is a non-AC KRL that uses a fan and automatic door, but the KRL automatic door began to break down in the 1990s, when atapers and vandalism were rampant, and passengers began to pile up.
KRL made of mild steel was imported in 1976 (20 units, 5 sets), 1978 (20 units, 5 sets), 1983 (24 units, 6 sets), and 1984 (16 units, 4 sets). In the KRL imported in 1976, this KRL has 2 doors and stairs to make it easier for passengers to board the short platform, as in Jakarta City. KRL imported in 1978–1984 has 3 doors, and high doors with footsteps.
