These serial numbers do not follow the unit number sequence. On the Class 14E, the transformer serial numbers were engraved on a plate which depicted the circuit diagram of the transformer, mounted below the sill and halfway between the bogies on the roof access ladder side of the locomotive.

The locally built Class 14E1, on the other hand, ran on spoked wheels with helical gears and had a more conservative traction motor to wheel gear ratio of 18:67. This gear ratio had the result that, while the three prototypes were very fast, they struggled to pick up a load. Amongst South African electric locomotives, the Class 14E was the first to have solid wheels with double helical or herringbone gears and with a traction motor to wheel gear ratio of 20:103. ДЄll earlier South African electric locomotives, with the exception of the Orex Line's Class 9Es, ran on spoked wheels using spur gears. In addition, they incorporated Siemens' sophisticated train communication network system. They featured three-phase AC motors (induction motors) made by Siemens. Upon their introduction in 1990, these were some of the most powerful electric locomotives on the Spoornet roster. Unlike the later dual voltage Classes 19E, 20E and 21E which were equipped to automatically transition between AC and DC mode on the run, the Class 14E had to be stopped and then restarted under the different voltage. A corridor along the centre of the locomotive connected the cabs. The roof access ladder end was designated the no. These dual cab locomotives had a roof access ladder on one side only, just to the right of the cab access door. They were built by Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM) in Winterthur. The 3 kV DC and 25 kV AC dual voltage Class 14E electric locomotive, the first dual voltage locomotive in South Africa, was designed by the 50 c/s Group consisting of SA Ateliers de Constructions Electriques de Charleroi (ACEC) of Belgium, AEG-Telefunken and Siemens of Germany, Alstom-Atlantique of France and Brown Boveri of Switzerland. Only three prototype locomotives were eventually built and delivered in 1990.

They were the first dual voltage 3 kV DC and 25 kV AC locomotives to see service on South African rails when they were placed in service in 1991 and were followed in 1994 by ten locally manufactured Class 14E1 locomotives. In 1990, Spoornet took delivery of three prototype Class 14E dual voltage electric mainline locomotives with a Bo-Bo wheel arrangement. The Spoornet Class 14E of 1991 was a South African electric locomotive. 14-001 in its original livery at Bellville, 6 June 2010ДЄir, Regenerative on 3 kV DC & Rheostatic on 25 kV AC A&S Transformer Co., Ltd supplies all models of GE Transformer:ДЄll the Transformer we can provide as follows:ДЄBB Transformer, Hammond Transformer, Tamura Transformer, Sola Transformer, Jesen Transformer, Dlta Transformer, Bando Transoformer, Jefferson Electric Transformer, Acme Transformer, Scheider Electric Transformer, GE Transformer, Basler Electric Transformer, Stancor Transformer, Cooper Transformer, Westinghouse Transformer, Omron Transformer, Toshiba Transformer, Dayton Transformer, Honeywell Transformer, Siemens Transformer, Federal Pacific Transformer, Alfa Transformer, Culter Hammer, Sylvania Transformer, Eaton TransformerДЄdd.: No.No.
