That’s because the BREL units still use the Brush motors.My username says it all about mine, not just the startup motors of the Met Cam variant, but what I call it's "roaring traction" at 60-75mph as well (the BREL type with it's new motors are also good above the speed they still sound like the original, maybe 20-30mph).
There isn’t an inverter, the 319s are DC motored. The motor electronics do make a good sound though.EMU: Class 319. The sound made by the traction inverter sounds like a violin to me, a really relaxing sound.
