All above types are oil cooled except dry type, which are air-cooled.
The generated voltages at the power station are 6.9 KV, 11 KV and 13.8 KV but due
to certain advantages like economical generation 11 KV is the most widely used. For
this voltage needs to be stepped up. Transmission at high voltage is desirable because
it results in lesser losses, needs thinner wire and hence is economical. If the current is
kept high the copper losses become very high but iron losses are practically constant.
In certain cases the required voltage may be less than the output voltage, so in order to
obtain it we require a tapping circuit. The output voltage may have a certain
percentage variation, which may be tapped in 4 or 6 equal steps.
The type of tap changer depends on the application of the transformer, where a
continuous power supply is not required an Off Circuit Tap Changer (OCTC) may be
used and where a continuous power supply is a must e.g. at a substation in cities etc.
on Load Tap Changer (OLTC) is used.

&
2.6.3.7 BAY 8
It is the instrument transformer and ESP transformer manufacturing section.
2.6.3.7.1 INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER These are used for measurement. Actual measurement is done by measuring
instruments but these transformers serve the purpose of stepping down the voltage
to protect the measuring instrument. They are used in AC system for measurement
of current voltage and energy and can also be used for measuring power factor,
frequency and for indication of synchronism. They find application in protection of
power system and for the operation of over voltage, over current, earth fault and
various other types of relays.
They are of two types.
1-Current transformer (CT)
2-Voltage transformer (VT)
2.6.3.7.1.1 CURENT TRANSFORMERIt is a step down transformer. High current is not directly measured by the CT but is
stepped down to lower measurable voltages.
BODY:
The main body is a bushing, which houses the winding and also acts as an insulator.
19
connection box to which the connection of the low voltage (LV) coil
is made.
WINDINGS:
The primary winding consists of hollow copper/aluminum pipe bent in form of a U.
Aluminum is used for low rating. For higher rating a set of wires is passed through the
pipe. For still higher ratings, a copper pipe is used and for highest rating copper pipe
with copper wires passing through it is used. This arrangement depends on the current
carrying capacity. The bent portion of primary as in the bottom chamber where as the
free end is the top chamber. The straight portion lies inside the bushing.
The primary is wound with crepe paper insulation. The thickness of the insulation
goes in increasing as we go downwards in the bottom chamber. The free ends are
provided with ferrules, which are, small hollow cylinders through which wires can
pass connection to the primary are made through these ferrules.
The secondary is divided in a number of coils for different set of tapings. Connections
are different tapings are made in connection box. Each coil has an annular core of
CRGO (silicon steel). The wire use is insulated copper wire. The winding may be
done both manually and by machine. After winding the coils are covered with paper
tape insulation. The coils are then slipped into both the legs of the primary winding
and connections are made in connection box for different tapping.
2.6.3.7.1.2 VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS:
This is also a stepped down transformer. The outer construction is same as that of the
CT that is this also has a top chamber, bushing and a bottom chamber. The difference
is only in the winding.
WINDINGS:
The primary winding is of the thick wire having a few turns. The winding is heavily
insulated with paper insulation. It has a hollow cylinder passing centrally through it,
which houses the secondary winding. The clean and painted with either enamel or
20
epoxy paint. The customer gives the choice of paint. Epoxy paint is generally used in
chemical plants and seashore installation. Terminals are then mark and ratings and
diagram plate is fixed.
The job is then sent to the shipping department, which takes care of its dispatch by
packing it in the wooden boxes.
2.6.3.7.1.3 ESP TRANSFORMER:
The Electrostatic Precipitator transformer is used for environmental application. It is
used to filter in a suspended charge particle in the waste gases of an industry. They are
of particular use in thermal power stations and cement industry.
The ESP is a single-phase transformer. It has a primary and secondary. The core is
laminated and is made up of CRGOS. It is a step up transformer. An AC reactor is
connected in series with primary coil. The output of the transformer must be DC that
is obtained by rectifying AC using a bridge rectifier (bridge rectifier is a combination
of several hundred diodes). A radio frequency choke (RF choke) is connected in series
with the DC output for the protection of the secondary circuit and filter circuit. The
output is chosen negative because the particles are positively charged. The DC output
from the secondary is given to a set of plates arrange one after the others. Impurity
particles being positively charged stick to these plates, which can be jerked off. For
this a network of plates has to be setup all across the plant. This is very costly process
in comparison with the transformer cost. A relive vent is also provided to prevent the
transformer from bursting it higher pressure develops, inside it. It is the weakest point
in the transformer body. An oil temperature indicator and the secondary supply spark
detector are also provided. One side of the transformer output is taken and other side
has a marshalling box which is the control box of the transformer.
2.6.3.8 BAY-9
In this bay power transformer are assembled. After taking different input from
different bays 0-9 assembly is done.
Power transformer is used to step and step down voltages at generating and substations. There are various ratings 11KV, 22KV, manufactured, they are
Generator transformer.
System &
Auto transformer.
21
After lowering a coil the top insulation similar to the bottom one is provided. The
removed yoke is placed end-frame bolted back into its position.
The connections are then made as per drawings. All the conductors are insulated using
crepe paper. Brazing copper makes the connections. For brazing silphos is used.
The following tests are done during re lacing:
1.
Megger Test.
2.
Ratio test.
3.
Testing at this stage is called pre testing. This is essential because if false are seen
at a later stage; whole of the transformer will have to be dissembled.
2.6.3.8.5 H.V.T.G & L.V.T.G.:
Terminals gears are accessories provided at high voltage and low voltage terminals. Main
device used is tap changer. Tap changer can be on load or offload. In offload type the
supply has to be tripped, then the tapings changes but in on load type the tapings can be
changed while the supply is on. On load tap changer (OLTC) are used where the supply is
desired to be continuous.
The upper portion of the OLTC contains mechanism by which tapping is changed. There is
switch which changes tap in very small type (Micro-seconds). But there is a possibility of
sparking. To get rid of it, OLTC IS filled with oil. The bottom part houses the terminals and
the mechanism, which makes automatic connections.
The terminals are made of thick aluminum strips.
23
After moisture removal tank is filled with transformer oil and soaked for at least three
hours, so that every gets wet with oil.
The job remains in vessel for three days during phasing. It is then taken out of the
vessel and also out of the dummy time.
2.6.3.8.7 Final Servicing & Tanking:
After taking the job out of dummy time all the parts retightened any other defects are
rectified and job is retimed in mild steel tank. After tanking oil is filled.
2.6.3.8.8 Case Fitting:
The accessories are fixed and final touches given to job. The accessories include tank
cover, fixing bushing, fixing valves etc. The terminals are marked and R and D.
(Rating and Diagram) plate is fixed. Bolting and not riveting because it may require
maintenance and hence opening close the tank.
Bushings are hollow to provide a passage for conductor; oil is filled inside the
hollow spaces for better insulation. Bushing is built on a mild steel base, which is
bolted to bottom chamber with a cork gasket in vacuum.
The bottom chamber is mild steel tank with a steel frame attached to its base for earthling.
This chamber houses the secondary winding.

3. ELECTRIC TRACTION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
We the human beings are known to continuously improve our surroundings and in endeavour
to do so we curiously keep reinventing with the technologies and one of such greatest
26
inventions of man is known to be electricity which has completely made our lifestyle
complacent. Be it about facing the scorching heat or resisting a chilly December night we are
dependent on electricity. Our day to day life has become inaccessible without electricity. One
such example is of our day to day to travelling to our workplaces for which we our dependent
on metros, local emu trains, etc. This is all possible because of electricity only and electric
traction has basically helped to redefine our complacent lifestyle. As an engineer what often
fascinate me are what this traction is and how this all technology works and today after my
training at BHEL Jhansi I would like to share how all this stuff works with the advent of my
knowledge gathered here.
What is traction? This is the question that arises first in everybodys mind and
here is what the oxford dictionary has to say about it. It describes traction as an act of hauling
or pulling a thing over a surface and electric traction means doing it with the aid of electricity.
It means to transport men and material from one place to another as described in the book
Fundamentals of Electrical Drives by Gopal K. Dubey. Electric traction according to the
same author can be broadly classified as:
1) Electric Trains
2) Electric buses, trams and trolleys
3) Battery driven and solar powered vehicles
27
3.2.2 RRV
RRV stands for Rail cum Road Vehicle. It is a type of track equipment which can be run both
on rail and the road.

The above flowchart clearly gives us a handy look at the equipments used in the
locomotive WAG-7. The coding of the locomotives has been already discussed in the
second chapter of this report but even then I am breaking code for the present locomotive.
W- BROAD GAUGE A- RUNNING IN AC MODE G- HAULING GOODS TRAIN
So, this locomotive is basically made for hauling goods train or we can say its freight
carrier.
In this part, we had a glimpse of all the major equipments used in WAG-7 but being an
Electrical & Electronics student in the coming sections my main emphasis would be on the
electrical equipments being used in the locomotive WAG-7.
2.5 PANTOGRAPH
The pantograph is the collector used to slide along the contact wire as has been explained in
section 3.6.3.1. It has a conducting strip which is pressed against the contact wire by springs.
The collector strips are usually of steel with grease lubrication, or of carbon, in which case no
lubrication is needed. Function of the pantograph is to maintain as constant a pressure as
possible between the collector strip and contact wire and to prevent any vertical oscillation of
the collector strip; as these will produce arcing due to braking of electric contact. When the
pantograph is not in use, it is maintained in lower position with the help of stiff springs. The
collector strip is raised by compressed air when it is to be used.
51
As per the specifications, the WAG-7 locomotive shall be equipped with two pantographs
having the metallised carbon strips. Normally, the trailing end pantograph will be used but a
selector switch should be provided on the drivers desk so that either or both of the
pantographs can be raised. The raising up or down of the pantograph while in motion should
not cause any disturbance in the OHE.
2.10 RECTIFIER
The locomotive is provided with two sets of air-cooled silicon rectifier connected in Graetz
Bridge. Each of these rectifiers are supplied by a separate secondary of the main transformer.
conveyors as well as vehicles with electrical transmission systems such as diesel-electric and
electric hybrid vehicles. Additionally the electric motors in other products such as the main
motor in washing machines are described as traction motors.
Before the mid-20th century, a single large motor was often used to drive multiple driving
wheels through connecting rods that were very similar to those used on steam locomotives. It
is now standard practice to provide one traction motor driving each axle through a gear drive.
Usually, the traction motor is simply suspended between the truck (bogie) frame and the
driven axle; this is referred to as a "nose-suspended traction motor". The problem with such
an arrangement is that a portion of the motor's weight is unsprung, increasing forces on the
track.
In WAG-7 the traction motor used is of series DC pulsating current type. The armature is
vacuum pressure impregnated solvent less resin. The motor fulfils the following parameters
broadly:
Mounting: Axle hung nose suspended
Rating: One hour: 750V, 960A, 870RPM, 670 kW
Continuous: 750V, 900A, 895RPM, 630kW
Weak field: 40%
Maximum permissible Ripple
28%
Dynamic braking is the use of the electric traction motors of a railroad vehicle as generators
when slowing the vehicle. It is termed rheostatic if the generated electrical power is
dissipated as heat in brake grid resistors and regenerative if the power is returned to the
supply line. Dynamic braking lowers the wear of friction braking components and
additionally regeneration can also lower energy consumption.
During braking the motor fields are connected across either the main traction
generator (Diesel-electric loco) or the supply (Electric locomotive) and the motor armatures
are connected across either the brake grids or supply line. The rolling locomotive wheels turn
the motor armatures, and if the motor fields are now excited, the motors will act as
generators. For a given direction of travel, current flow through the motor armatures during
braking will be opposite to that during motoring. Therefore, the motor exerts torque in a
direction that is opposite from the rolling direction. Braking effort is proportional to the
product of the magnetic strength of the field windings, times that of the armature windings.
The locomotive WAG-7 is equipped with rheostatic braking arrangement capable
of braking effort of around 20T over a speed range of 25 to 50 km/h. In the event of failure of
the electric brake brakes on the train the air brake on the locomotive will be applied
automatically. Braking effort regulation are obtained by adjustments of the traction motor
excitation. The field of all the motors are connected in series and fed by one of the two silicon
rectifier bridge connected by means of an intermediate transformer to one of the two
secondary windings of the transformer. The control of the excitation is provided by the tap
changer. The dynamic braking resistance is forced cool by AC motor blower set (AC MVRF).
In case of emergency brake application by the driver, the electric brake, if applied will be
automatically cut off.
2.13 BATTERY
Batteries of adequate capacity are provided on the locomotive to feed the equipment for three
hours starting with a half charged battery when the locomotives are coupled in multiple. The
battery can be of lead acid type or latest with PPCP containers.
acknowledge to periodic vigilance check by pressing a push button. In case the driver is not
vigilant with the first step then the device will flash an indication. If even now, the driver
does not respond then an audio-visual warning will be played and in case of no response
automatically the emergency brakes will be applied and the whole loco has to be started all
again.

All the components of the SCV 602 IN are arranged in sequence on the special frame of
the machine.
2.1. MAIN FRAME
The frame is of welded plate construction and designed to allow the correct placement of
groups of components of the machine.
On each side of the frame close to the bogies, special allowance has been made to
accommodate special compartments for tools, batteries and spare parts.
In calculation for the strength of the frame such forces have been taken into consideration
as, weight of the groups of components, dynamic effects, all outside forces appearing
during operation, compression and pulling forces due to transportation.
2.2. EXCAVATING SYSTEM
The ballast is excavated by the undercutting chain, which is then transported to the
receiving hopper and then to the conveyor belt. The undercutting chain has scoops with
replaceable grappling teeth, which excavate the ballast and then passes through chutes and
the undercutting bar. During the transport mode the undercutting chain and bar is attached
to the transport console and hung by the electric hoist.
The undercutting bar is lowered by the electric hoist at the center of the track and
appropriately placed into the correct working position.
At both ends of the chutes adjustable wings are provided that allow the extension or
retraction of the width of cut.
For safety purposes on the lower edge of the chute a safety bar is attached which allows
for automatic stoppage of the chain if anything impedes the space covered by the safety
bar. The positions of the chutes, which are attached to the undercutting bar, are continually
adjusted by the hydraulic cylinders.
For undercutting the turnouts the undercutting chain and undercutting bar is extended in
steps. This extension is carried out by insertion of extensions to the chain and bar in 500
mm lengths. The connection between the inserted extensions and the chain are rigid to
ensure accuracy of the cut. The undercutting chain, which comprises of pins and scoops
with replaceable teeth, is made of non - abrasive high tensile cast steel thus giving a
longer life span.
The undercutting chain is driven by electric motors with an epicyclic gearbox with bevel
gear. The tension of the undercutting chain can be controlled either by movement of the
gearbox or the telescopic extension of one of the chutes. The transmission allows
reversing of the chain for a short period.
2.3 BOGIES
The machine is fitted with two bogies, 1 of locomotive type, 1 of wagon type. Only
locomotive type bogie is equipped with two traction motors type TM4501AZ of BHEL
make, one for each axle.
60
Each bogie has its own braking system controlled by pneumatic cylinders, in addition to
this, one of these bogies (FRONT) has mechanical brakes on the wheels of the leading
axle and the control mechanism is located in driving cabin.
The bogies fulfill the requirement for speed limits, axle load and quality ride index.
2.4. SCREENING UNIT
The screening unit comprises of a 2,5 level screen system of reliable and proven design.
The selection of screen unit has been done based on experience of similar machines
supplied by our supplier of equipments M/s MTH Praha a.s. with adequate margin for
higher spoil content. The total area of screen (including two decks) is minimum 22 Sq.M.
The Screen mesh is made of Steel wire and the shape of the aperture is square.
Recommended mesh size for top and bottom decks of the screen:
a)
Bottom Deck
25 x 25 mm.
b) Middle Deck
1/4th
c)
Auxiliary Deck
The vibration of the screens is caused by two electric motors with eccentric wheels. The
vibrating units are attached to the machine in a longitudinal slope of 25 and the screens
are attached to the tilted auxiliary frame via spring coils and this frame is attached to the
main frame. This arrangement enables the screens to remain in the lateral horizontal
position even in a super elevation situation.
The screen is fixed to the machine by means of an auxiliary tiltable frame which enables
the tilting of the screen to the required extent which is 200 mm. This is achieved by 2
Nos. hydraulic cylinders, which are controlled from the working table. The screen is be
fitted with an automatic tilting device.
2.5. LIFTING UNIT
The lifting units can lift the track and move the track laterally in the work mode.
The lifting unit comprises of two lifting beams, two lifting rollers and two directional
rollers. Both lifting beams can be controlled separately for the required cant and the
change, if necessary, to the track, which has influence on distribution of Ballast.
The purpose of lifting unit is for complete lifting and freeing from rail bed while enables
easier excavation of ballast material and keeping the track in correct geometric position
until the first required amount of cleaned ballast is put into place.
The design of the lifting unit allows continuous movement even at the joints and welded
portion of rails. During the transport mode the lifting unit is mechanically locked in the
raised position.
2.6. CONVEYOR BELT FOR EXCAVATED MATERIALS
The conveyor belt transports the ballast from the receiving hoppers to the screening units.
The conveyor belt is a standard conveyor belt, channeled and made from rubber driven by
electrically operated drums. The whole conveyor belt is fixed to the frame as a sliding
61
unit, which enables flexibility of the conveyor belt so that even in the full excavation
mode the ballast can be transferred either to the storage wagons or to the side of the track.
2.7. CONVEYOR BELT FOR BALLAST
The conveyor belt transports screened ballast from the screening unit to the equipment for
returning the ballast to the ballast bed.
The conveyor belt is a standard flat conveyor belt made of rubber, driven by electrically
operated drums and fixed rigidly to the frame.
2.8. CONVEYOR BELT FOR SPOIL
The conveyor belt transports the spoil from underneath the screening unit to the swiveling
conveyor and is able to transport the spoil along with the over sized ballast when the
machine is in the full excavation mode.
The conveyor belt is a standard conveyor belt, which is channeled, made from rubber and
driven by electrically operated drums. This conveyor is fixed rigidly to the frame and at
the upper end of the conveyor is a receiving hopper that feeds the swiveling conveyor in
any position.
2.9. SWIVELING CONVEYOR BELT
The conveyor belt transports the spoil to either into muck wagons at the front of the
machine or to the side of the track. The conveyor belt is a standard conveyor belt, which is
channeled, made from rubber and driven by electrically operated drums.
The swivel unit comprises of a large bearing and an exterior toothed rim which allows the
conveyor to be swiveled to 100 the track center line. A hydraulic motor does the swivel
action. .
When the swiveling conveyor is in the machine centerline of the axis of the track and so
as not to overstep the length of the machine, the conveyor is cranked into the travel
position and locked mechanically. At the end of the swiveling conveyor a searchlight is
attached to illuminate the discharge area during poor light conditions.
The swiveling conveyor belt is equipped with safety mechanism to prevent the
infringement of parallel tracks and or to prevent collision with exterior obstacles eg.
Masts, posts, trees etc. To achieve this sensors are provided which can detect the obstacles
and enables to conveyor to swing away from the obstacles. We are enclosing herewith
Sketch No. (7) showing the arrangement of infrared sensor of spoil discharge conveyor.
2.10. BALLAST PLACEMENT UNIT
This unit is designed for the optimal placement of cleaned ballast back to the rail bed
under the rails in both plain track and points crossing.
This unit consists of front and rear Ballast divider, satellite conveyor and lateral conveyor.
This equipment is placed on a satellite, which is wheeled and towed during work mode
and is located between the bogies of the machine.
62
In addition on one side of the machine there are side conveyors, which enable the
placement of ballast in turnouts.
FRONT DIVIDER
The front divider receives the ballast from the conveyor and places the ballast under the
rails via outside of the rails. This is the first pouring. The volume of the pouring is
controllable by the side flap of the front divider. In the event that there is an excess of
ballast at this pouring, it is placed on the satellite conveyor.
SATELLITE CONVEYOR
The satellite conveyor transports the excess ballast to the rear divider. This is a standard
flat rubber conveyor belt driven by electrically operated drums.
REAR DIVIDER
The rear divider receives the ballast from the conveyor and places the ballast at the center
of the track. In the event there is an excess of ballast at this pouring, it is placed on the
shoulders of the track. To enable the control of volume of ballast to either left or right,
there is a moveable flap. The rear wall of the rear divider acts as a plough, which moves
and levels the excess ballast from the top of the sleepers. The width of the rear plough can
be extended manually by moving the side wings. In the event of a large volume of ballast
the excess is put on the lateral conveyor.
LATERAL CONVEYORS
The lateral conveyors enable the movement of the excess ballast to the shoulders either
left or right and are a standard flat rubber conveyor driven by electrically operated drums.
The conveyors are fixed to the satellite.
BROOM
At the rear of the satellite there is a broom, which cleans the upper surface of the sleepers.
The cleaning of the fasteners is not necessary as they are protected during the pouring
process.
SATELLITE
The satellite is hydraulically lifted and mechanically locked in the transport position
during travel mode. During the cleaning of the ballast in points and crossings the function
of the described system doesnt change except that the flap in between the front divider
and the conveyor diverts the ballast to the upper side conveyor.
SIDE CONVEYORS
There are two standard flat rubber conveyors driven by electrically operated drums and
are located under the arched frame one above the other.
The lower conveyor, fixed to the frame, can slide laterally and is able to be extended to
double its length.
The ballast is transferred from the upper conveyor to the lower conveyor and the lower
conveyor is positioned and extended step by step according to the position of the crossing.
63
Manipulation of the lower conveyor and the diverter flap is done manually by means of
remote control from the position of optimal view of the work site.
2.10.1. Ballast Distribution System
The Ballast Cleaning Machines offered are provided with MTH Praha a.s patented ballast
distribution system developed and perfected over large number of machines installed
worldwide by MTH Praha.
At the initial set up, the following parameters of the machines are set by the operator
depending on volume and quality of ballast to achieve continuous feed of ballast on the
track within the tolerance allowing a speed of 40 KMPH.
a) Lift of Track
b) Position of side Flap of Front Divider.
The volume of the ballast is controlled by (i) Angle of Feed, (ii) variable width of Feed,
(iii) the distance between the bottom of the sleeper and the level of the cut, which can be
changed by the lifting device.
All cleaned ballast first goes to the Front Divider, which is always kept full. The ballast is
fed gravitationally under the sleeper to area A (please refer Sketch No. 2). When the
Front Divider is overfilled the excess ballast is transferred to the Rear Divider via the
conveyor and this ballast is fed to the center of the Track up to the top of ties i.e. area B
(please refer Sketch No. 2). In the event there is more ballast it is then transferred to area
C i.e. shoulder of ties. When the Rear Divider is overfilled with ballast the excess
ballast is transferred to the Lateral Conveyor, which transferred the ballast to area D i.e.
beyond the shoulder. This situation rarely happens or may only offer when there is
lowering of the Track. The rear wall of the Rear Divider is designed as a Plough, which
regulates the profile of ballast. In both Front and Rear Dividers covers are provided for
Rails & Fasteners as a protection system. At the time of the routine stoppage or otherwise
of the machines, feeding also stops automatically due to the angle of the feed which
avoids overfeeding or heaping of ballast in one area. As soon as the Machine is started, the
feeding also starts automatically. As an added the feature of the Machine a Blocking
device is provided which stops all working components when the Machine is stopped. The
Machine has been designed in such a manner that the ballast is accumulated at all the
distribution points of the machine and the moment the Front Divider is at the position of
the excavated Track the feeding begins and on the reverse, the accumulated ballast is
enough to be returned to the free areas.
For feeding the ballast internals, only the Front Divider is used. In the Front Divider, there
is a flap, which regulates the amount of ballast required for the track on which the
machine is standing, and then transferring ballast to the side conveyor belt to feed the
ballast to the parallel Track. This control is exercised by the operator who is located
outside the cabin with the help of cable connected remote control device.
The ballast is compacted by the down pressure of the rear bogie of the Machine that
means there is no necessity for ballast distribution under the entire length of the sleepers.
2.11. WORKING CABIN

of the world. It is an asset for our country to have such a public sector industry which has
fulfilled the dream of our first Prime Minister Sh. Jawahar Lal Nehru by operating in 65
countries and making it go global.
The vision and mission of this company are successful can be adjudged with the faith of the
stake holders in this company. BHEL Jhansi although a smaller unit in comparison to other
units of BHEL, is a very productive one with the manufacturing of the electric locomotives,
power transformers, etc. The work load here can be accessed from the fact that the order of
the locomotives has forced the company to shift its Bus duct section to the other unit of
BHEL. Presently company is about to finish its project on BCM machine, it clearly shows
that company has good working hands on the coming technology and has rapid pace of
working.
In future also the company is having orders of metro coaches and this clearly shows why this
company is still recession proof. And the designing department has started to work on the
technology of WAG-9 so that it can take fresh orders of WAG-9 from Indian Railways.
