A copy of The British Transport Commission 1962 "British Railways Diesel Traction Manual for Enginemen" is quite detailed if you can get a copy.
I was lucky to get an original 1962 First Impression copy for my collection. There may be other copies available on the internet.

G'day Hidian,
I have only saved this PDF and not perused it yet. But, there may be some technical info about the limitations of AC dynamic brake. https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstr...pdf;sequence=1 I would assume that as with propulsion, that in dynamic brake, AC traction would provide more effort than does DC traction. Steve.
