1.02 Indian Railways (IR) is currently manufacturing electric locomotives employing


3-phase propulsion based on the GTO Thyristor technology. Considering the issue of
obsolescence of GTO Thyristor and the inherent technological benefits of Insulated Gate
Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and to upgrade the existing technology to the present state-of-the-
art, Indian Railways plans to introduce IGBT based 3-phase traction converter and 3 X 130
KVA Auxiliary Converter on its 3-phase locomotives WAG9, WAP5 and WAP7.

1.03 Demand Projections

Indian Railways are at present manufacturing WAG9 & WAP7 locomotives with GTO
based traction propulsion system. The GTO based propulsion system will be phased out to
be replaced by IGBT based propulsion system. The phasing out is expected to be completed
by end 2012. The business plan of Indian Railways in the XIth Plan for 3 phase IGBT
locomotives is as under:

• Complete switch over to the manufacturing of 6000 HP ABB technology locomotive


discontinuing manufacturing of low horse power conventional locomotives.

• Change over to IGBT control system instead of GTO on ABB locomotive

• Enhancing production capacity at CLW from 150 locos to 200 locos per year.

Following successful trials with IGBT based traction converter and 3 X 130 KVA Auxiliary
Converter being procured against this tender; all future manufacture of locomotives by
CLW is expected with use of IGBT based equipments.
