Later in the same thread, I find this photo, too:
In the first line left is speed, right is target TE; the second line shows the target TE per bogie, the third line shows actual TE (from which power is just under 5.6MW); the next lines show target power in and out, then the actual metered electric powers, then the electric loss.
Unfortunately, the photographer doesn't say anything on continuous/one-hour, he just says the software menu of his locomotive [one of the first class 185 which was up-rated from 4.2 MW with the software change] said "5.6 MW". However, just found another locomotive driver in the thread claiming:
Having thought about it - I think lack of distinction should mean that maximum power is limited by temperature control only. That may or may not be fair to customers, depending on the level of heating: if full power is available in winter, but not in the summer, then the same trains can only be run slower in the summer -- and the differene is not guaranteed by the maker. This should not be an issue for the BLS and SBB locos, which utilise de-facto one-hour maximum power on climbs, but it may be an issue elsewhere.
It was planned to upgrade the earlier DB locomotives
See half-sentence in brackets in my previous comment: the earlier class 185 were upgraded, the photo shows one of them (but the class 145 wasn't AFAIK). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
