With the locomotives of the so-called Rc family, the Swedish State Railways (SJ) acquired the first thyristor-controlled electric locomotives in Sweden from the manufacturer ASEA. A total of 360 Rc locomotives rolled off the production line at the ASEA plant in Stockholm.
The fourth series was the largest of the Rc family, with 130 units delivered between 1975 and 1982. These locomotives were used throughout Sweden in both passenger and goods services.
