The Diesel Electric Tower Car (DETC) is equipped with two set of under slung mounted Power packs.
Each Power pack consists of one under slung Engine (NTA-855 R), one Traction Alternator – 230 kW
(C1009A1) & one auxiliary alternator connected by a cardan shaft and flexible coupling. The car consists
of two bogies (4 axles), each axle is powered by the traction motor. The engine flywheel is directly
coupled with Traction alternator with the help of flex plates. These flex plate couplings are used to
compensate Axial, Angular and radial displacement of connected machines. Flex plates are provided to
absorb shocks on torque, by which it will minimize vibration, and transmits the power. The output power
of alternator is rectified to DC & fed to the traction motors.
These two Power pack units are synchronized & regulated to provide total traction power as a single
system when controlled from either cabin. Two cabins one on each end is provided for the purpose.
Provision also exists to isolate any of the power packs and run the vehicle. Driver’s desk mainly consists
of controls for Engine, Alternator and Pneumatic Brakes, Indication lamps, Gauges, switches, speed-
time-distance recorder etc., which will be functioning in conjunction with control cubicles. The complete
power pack is attached beneath the under frame.

horizontal version engine suitable for under slung mounting. The specification of the engine is provided
in the specification section. This engine is supported at three points, viz, one support at front end
(vibration damper side) and two supports at rear end (Flywheel side). All the three supports are bracket
mounted with Anti vibration units.
2.2 Traction Alternator

The alternator used in the car is C1009A1, manufactured by M/s CG, Bhopal. This alternator caters to
supply electrical power for main Traction. It is under slung mounted with suitable brackets and is driven
from engine directly through the flex plates. The specification of the alternator is provided in the
specification section. This alternator is supported on four points. All the four supports are bracket
mounted, consisting of two Main Brackets which positively holds both the coupled engine and alternator
together. These brackets rest on four Anti vibration units. The AVM’s are pre-compressed in the
assembly position. The mounting fasteners for these AVM are torque tightened and locked with split pin.
2.3 Flexible Coupling
In this power pack, the flexible coupling is used to connect the engine to auxiliary alternator through a
XLO cardan shaft. This coupling is manufactured by M/s.Vulkan. This coupling is selected to suit
maximum torque & speed of Auxiliary Alternator. These highly flexible couplings are guided radially &
axially. All the transmitting parts are arranged without clearance so that no wear will occur during the
rotation. The rubber element is suitable for temperature between -40°C & +90°C & is internally
vulcanized to the ring. The permissible angular coupling displacement is 0.5°.
2.4 Auxiliary Alternator
Two 8 KW, 110V DC. Brush less, foot mounted Auxiliary Alternator is provided in the DETC, one each
for power pack. These alternators caters to supply electrical power for Battery charging & Control source

Supply, coach lights, fans, cab & head lights, tail lights, flasher lights etc. It is under slung mounted with
suitable brackets and is driven from engine vibration damper through a cardan shaft.
A static regulator cum rectifier unit rectifies the three-phase AC alternator output. A constant voltage of
122 Volts DC (65% regulates DC output at a maximum load current of 65 Amps @ idle engine speed of
700 rpm) is utilized.
2.5 Cardan Shaft
Cardan shaft is used to connect the flexible coupling mounted over the diesel engine to the coupling
flange mounted over the auxiliary alternator.
Maintenance and service related procedure for cardan shaft is explained in detail in Annexure 1 of this
document.

3. Power Pack Mounting
The Engine and Alternator (with the flex plates) are coupled together and positively held by two main
brackets at three points on either side of engine & alternator. Along with this, the auxiliary alternator end
of the Engine is held by a ‘Z’ Bracket. This whole power pack assembly has five suspending points,
which rests over anti vibration mountings, held rigidly by vertical brackets welded to under frame
structural members. This arrangement has low vibration transmissibility to the under frame. For details of
mounting, refer power pack drawing.

The auxiliary alternator is then mounted over a bracket held by four vertical brackets, which are
fabricated from the under frame structure. The Aux. alternator is driven by an XLO cardan shaft through
a flexible coupling. For more details refer power pack arrangement drawing.

4. AIR INTAKE ARRANGEMENT
Air cleaners are positioned inside the coach as shown in the Drawing No. 45831110. Air cleaner sucks the
fresh air from atmosphere through a conical arrangement mounted on coach side wall, outlet pipe is routed
below the floor to the engine air inlet point. Suitable clamping is done to support the pipes at required places.
Below picture shows the air intake routing for either side of the power packs.
5. EXHAUST SILENCER ARRANGEMENT
Exhaust silencer is mounted under slung and exhaust smoke will be let to atmosphere through the muffler
from the engine outlet. Thermal Insulation for the pipes provided with cladding the appropriate material from
Q-shield to avoid exposure to hazardous hot surfaces at the time of maintenance.

6. RADIATOR MOUNTING & PIPING ARRANGEMENT
Radiator unit is mounted on roof of the coach. A single radiator unit is provided for both the engines. This
radiator unit is mounted on AVM to damp vibrations. The sucker type fan is used in the system; it sucks the
air through the radiator core and blows to the atmosphere to cool the water circulating inside core. The fans
are driven by hydro static motors.
Pipe routings from both the engine passes beneath the under frame at intricate conditions, passing through
the floor (suitable cutouts are provided) and connects the radiator.

The radiator unit has following pipe connections:

1. Inlet
2. Outlet
3. Vent
4. Over flow
5. By pass line
The hot water that is pumped out from the engine is connected to inlet port of radiator. The hot water enters
from the top most point of the core. Hot water flows through the core, gets cooled and comes out through
outlet pipe at bottom most point of the core. This outlet pipe from radiator unit is connected to water inlet
port of Engine and cools the engine, water jackets after cooler, compressor and exhaust manifold while
circulating inside the engine. Water is pumped to the Thermostat housing on the engine; this senses the water
temperature in the system and controls the water flow to the radiator.

7. HYDRAULIC TANK AND HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
A single common hydraulic tank is provided for both engine’s Cooling system, it is located inside the coach.
This tank is equipped with filling cap, sight glass, manifold blocks, oil cooler, return filter ect., on it.
The system has radiator fans driven at variable speeds depending upon the radiator water temperature. It is a
Hydrostatic system in which two fans are driven by independent hydraulic motors from variable flow
delivered by a respective engine driven hydraulic pump. Independent Thermatic valves are mounted on the
water manifold block at the each engine water outlet, where the hot water exits for onward routing to the
radiator.
The Thermatic valve senses the temperature and regulates pressure on the pump's flow control port. This
action affects the hydraulic pump's output flow rate according to the water temperature. It increases with
increase in water temperature. The variable flow connected to motor regulates the variable speed of motor
according to the water temperature. Thus, the entire hydrostatic fan drive system forms a closed loop control
system.

7.1 Hydraulic pump

A variable displacement pump is mounted on the engine and it is directly driven by engine gear drive
from gear case cover. This hydraulic pump has swash-plate design.
Flow of hydraulic oil is proportional to drive speed required. Fluid Displacement is infinitely
variable by adjustment of swash-plate angle. By adjusting the position of swash-plate, it is possible
to smoothly vary the flow. It has a pilot control valve, which controls the position of swash-plate,
which in turn regulates delivery of fluid flow of the pump after receiving feedback from remote
position. Thermatic valve forms the remote sensing & feedback element for the control.
7.1.1 Working of Variable displacement pump:

1. Hydraulic pump has multiple cylinders whose movements are obtained from rotation of drive shaft.
2. Cylinders suck & deliver liquid by their reciprocating motion proportional to stroke length
(displacement) of the cylinders.
3. These strokes are directly controlled by inclination of the swash plate whose position is governed by
Pilot control valve
4. Pilot control valve receives feed back from remote control (Thermatic valve).
5. Remote control valve is also called as Thermal Relief / Thermatic control valve (as its feedback is
translated on the basis of rise in engine coolant temperature).
6. Hydraulic pump has a leakage return line back to hydraulic tank.

7.2 Hydraulic motor
The Hydraulic motor is used in this system is of bent axis design with fixed displacement of
cylinders. The pressurized oil, which is pumped from hydraulic pump, routed as inlet to the motor &
develops the torque and speed of motor. Hydraulic motor rotational speed is directly proportional to
flow of the pump; and pressure of the liquid is directly proportional to the torque developed by the
shaft. Hydraulic motor also has a return line flowing freely back to tank. Supply & return lines to the
motor are routed through a manifold block.
7.3 Pressure relief valve

Pressure relief valve is always connected in main delivery line of hydraulic pump (pressure line) to
limit the system pressure to set value.

7.3.1 Operation of Pressure Relief Valve:

1. System pressure acts on the main spool.
2. At the same time pressure acts via a pilot line fitted with jets, on pilot poppet.
3. If the system pressure exceeds the value set with the spring, the pilot poppet opens and pilot oil is
allowed to flow back to the tank.
4. The jet combination causes sufficient pressure drop across the main spool.
5. The main spool is lifted from its seat and opens the pressure line connection to tank while operating
pressure is maintained, as desired.
6. The spring tension on poppet valve can be adjusted by setting knob to any desired pressure, from 0-
250 bar (set pressure around 160 to 180 bar).
7. The pilot control port should be connected to receive flow for pilot poppet valve.
7.4 Thermal Relief / Thermatic Valve:
Thermatic valve is a direct operated relief valve of poppet-seat design, where the nominal pressure is
proportional to the temperature sensing with in set limits. It is mounted on engine's water outlet
connection. It senses the temperature of engine water outlet and functions.

Main elements of Thermatic valve are:

1. Thermal Element
2. Control Spring
3. Reset Spring
4. Valve Housing
5. Valve Seat
6. Poppet
P. Pressure port
T. Tank return port
7.4.1 Operation of Thermatic Valve:

1. When Engine outlet water temperature is below 82°C, hydraulic oil from hydraulic pump pilot valve
freely passes through the pressure port 'P' of valve assembly to tank through Tank return port 'T'.
2. When temperature rises above 82°C, thermal element 'a' expands and starts moving its plunger
against control spring 'b'.
3. This moves poppet ' f ' towards valve seat 'e' and creates restriction to incoming flow and generates
backpressure.
4. This backpressure is treated as feedback by pilot control valve, which now starts controlling
inclination of swash plate for more delivery coming out of hydraulic pump.
5. When the temperature drops below 82°C at the thermal element 'a', control spring 'b' is released and
reset spring 'c' allows pressurized hydraulic oil to drain to tank.

7.5 Manifold block

Manifold block is used primarily for two purposes
1. Simplify hydraulic circuit.
2. Reduce number of components in the system.
Manifold block is a solid block of steel which houses a several non-return valves (check valves),
Pressure relief valves connected to achieve function by internal passages of the block. It facilitates
hose connections to various points in the system.
All of them contain cartridge type check valves. Care to be taken for cleanliness of oil because a
small dirt or foreign material entrapped in their seating area renders these valves non-functioning.
7.6 Suction Strainer

1. Separate Strainers are fitted inside the hydraulic tank one each in the suction line and vent line of
pump.
2. Precautions be taken to avoid ingress of dirt particles in the hydraulic tank during initial filling or
scheduled maintenance of the hydraulic system.
3. Suction strainer can remove particles up to 150 microns.
4. The strainer protects pump from the entry of harmful solid particles.
7.7 Return line filter

1. Return Line filter is mounted directly on hydraulic tank.
2. It cleans hydraulic oil that may get contaminated due to poor handling or undesirable entry of dust in
the system or wear and tear of system components.
3. Return Line filter can filter particles up to 10 microns.
4. There is a container around the filter for the purpose of trapping dirt. When element is removed, this
container is drawn out with it, so that any residual dirt is not allowed to flow back into the tank.
5. These filters are fitted with restriction indicator on the top of its head which pops up showing red
signal whenever pressure drop across filter element is above 2.5 bar.

8.0 FUEL LINE PIPING ARRANGEMENT

A common under slung fuel tank is provided to cater both the power pack of main traction. Each power pack
draws fuel from the fuel tank through an independent piping system. Each line consists of a shut off valve to
isolate the supply whenever required for any maintenance. Suspended particles in the fuel settles at the
bottom of the tank due to gravity. From shut off valve further piping is done via a strainer, water separator,
fuel filter and finally to fuel actuator on the engine. These connections are equipped with flexible hoses. Fuel
filter will filter any foreign particles, waste etc. & thus obtained clean fuel is routed by a hose to Fuel pump
mounted on the engine.
Excess fuel expelled by the engine is returned back to the fuel tank connected by a hose and metal pipes
direct to the common under slung fuel tank. (Fuel return point is positioned at bottom of engine).

9. WATER RISING APPARATUS
Engine block, radiator unit and connecting piping system needs to be filled with coolant prior to starting the
power pack and also may require periodical topping up. The Radiator unit is mounted over the coach roof.
Climbing over the roof for periodical topping up of the radiator with coolant is a laborious, time consuming
and also poses high voltage power line hazard. A pneumatically operated water rising apparatus (WRA) is
mounted under slung to ease out the filling / topping up of coolant. A stainless steel tank comprising a
coolant capacity of 100 liters provided.
A pneumatic line with a limiting valve set at 0.5 to 0.8 kg/cm², a non return valve & insolating valve is
provided before connecting to tank. When the radiator cooling system required to topping up, the existing
pneumatic system’s pressured air is allowed inside the tank and in turn this will pressurizes the water to get
out of the tank, feeding the cold water line of the radiator through an independent isolating cock and thus
tops up the radiator. There are two independent isolating valves are provided in the water lines, these are
required to select or open depends on the required engine cooling system to be topped up. The check valve
provided in the pneumatic line prevents the reverse entry of coolant water into the pneumatic line. During
each top up the shut off valve provided in pneumatic line to be opened first & further isolating valve
provided in water like to be opened depends on the required engine to be topped up. After completing the
process both isolating valves to be closed compulsorily.

10. PANEL RESISTOR BOX MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT
One number of panel resister box houses 6 resistors in a box. This box mounted under slung, supports are
taken from the under frame structure as shown in the figure.
The box housed excitation resistor panels for both the alternators. One set of panel consists of 3 resistors
each of 36 Ohms, 300 W. Theses 3 resistors are connected in parallel making the equivalent resistance of the
circuit 12 ohms.

11. AFTER COOLER MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT
Two numbers of after coolers, Universal make are mounted under slung, supports are taken from the under
frame structure as shown in the figure. These after cooler is connected in output of air compressor outlet.

340 HP @ 1800 RPM continuously and a Brushless CGL make traction alternator type C1009A1, matching
rectifier, exciter and rotating diode set capable of developing around 310 HP input to traction (by each power
pack).
The Traction Alternator is a single bearing type and compatible for coupling with Cummins Diesel Engine
mentioned above. The exciter field current is limited to 6 amps during entire working range of DETC.
The main rectifiers are suitable for over board mounting and are used for rectifying the output of traction
alternators. The power rectifier assembly is suitable for operation under one bridge failure condition. It has
built-in blower arrangement with fan failure protection.
The traction motors (Type TM2141C) are suitable for mounting on DEMU bogie of Indian Railways. The
Traction Motor is self-cooled type and complies with requirements of IEC – 60349-1. The traction motor has
moulded inter-pole & main-pole coils bonded with poles. The four traction motors in 4P combination will
operate in full field only, utilising full capability of traction alternator. Avoidance of going into a weak field
is beneficial from operation point of view, especially utilisation of available adhesion. In addition, such a
combination provides following advantages:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
- Reduction in control equipment

- Reduction in maintenance cost
- Avoiding transition jerks and loss of power normally encountered in transition
An electronic diesel engine speed governing, alternator exciter excitation and load control module, type
LCC107B of GAC make, control the diesel engine speed & excitation of the Traction Alternator. The
experience shows that adoption of such a system enables utilisation of maximum diesel engine power on rail,
thus optimally utilising the installed power.
The diesel engine speed will be regulated through the 8 pre-selected steps (notches). Driver can operate the
DETC at any notch depending upon speed restrictions / desired.
2. AUXILIARY CIRCUITRY
Two 8 kW Auxiliary Brushless Alternator rectifier and regulator system, supply 122±5% Volts DC for
Auxiliaries. The alternator is self-cooled and is directly driven from Diesel Engine shaft extension through
cardon shaft and flexible coupling. The output of the rectifier regulator is 125V ± 5%. The regulated
voltage is available from no load to full load and idle engine RPM to maximum engine RPM.
A 110V DC lead acid battery (Not in CGL Scope of Supply) will float against the auxiliary power and will
thus remain in charged condition during normal operation. This battery can supply to fans, lighting and
control loads.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
3.4 CRANKING OF DIESEL ENGINE
Before starting the Diesel Engine, circuit needs to be reset, which bypass the safety system during starting.
The same is accomplished using “Ready to Start” spring loaded switch mounted on the Driver's Desk.
During starting Engine Trip Relay FC21 (FC22) is energised and “Engine-1 (2) Trip” & “Engine-1 (2) OFF”
indications glow. As soon as the switch is operated, Relays R11 (R12), R21 (R22), R41 (R42), R51 (R52)
and R61 (R62) are energised and cut-off supply to Engine Trip Relay FC21 (FC22) & both the indications go
off. Now the circuit is set for Diesel Engine cranking. Press “ON” the Diesel Engine-1 ON” spring loaded
switch mounted on the Driver's Desk. As soon as the contacts of the “Diesel Engine ON” switch is closed,
Engine-1 ON relay S11 (12) get energised though wire no 1654 (1655). Contact of S11 (12) inturn operates
Remote ON/OFF Relay R91 (R92) through wire 225 (226). As soon as the R91 (R92) is energised, 24 VDC
supply is available to timers TR11 (12) & TR21 (22), Idling solenoid valve & hour meter from 209 (210)
through Local / Remote Switch & Diesel Engine ON relay NO Contact. At the same time wire no 213 (214)
is energised from 209 (210) through Engine ON relay contact and supply is available to magnetic switch
provided on the Diesel Engine (wire no 215/216). As soon as the magnetic switch is energised, supply is fed
to starting motor and allows Diesel Engine to start. If the Diesel Engine is not started for set time – say 6 sec
(set value of timer TR11 (12]), the circuit will break and disconnect supply to magnetic switch. During the
Diesel Engine cranking period, lubricating oil pressure switch is bypassed by Timer 21 (22) contact. The
timer is set at approximately 8 sec. (slightly more than the engine cranking time).
3.5 SPEED CONTROL OF DIESEL ENGINE(s)
As Diesel Engine starts running from 0 RPM, speed sensors provided on the Diesel Engine develops
frequency signal and give feedback to Speed & Load Control System (LCC-107B) through wire nos. 21A
(21B) & 22A (22B). Depending up on the speed setting (Notch), LCC-107B controls the speed of the Diesel
Engine. LCC-107B starts pumping current through wire nos. 31A (31B) & 32A (32B) to Actuator provided
on the Diesel Engine till its speed reaches its set value. Once its speed is reached to set value, LCC-107B
maintains the same actuator current.
Switch ON the “CONTROL” provided on the Driver's Desk. This allows wire no. 1602 to get supply &
“CONTROL ON” indication appears. Move the Master Controller Reverse Handle to either Forward or
Reverse direction & Main Handle to Notch 1 in depressed deadman condition. There is no change in Diesel
Engine(s) speed. Move the Master Controller Main Handle to notch 2. Diesel Engine(s) speed changes to
approximately 1000 RPM. Move the Master Controller Main Handle to higher notches. Corresponding

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
speeds are 1200 RPM at 3rd Notch, 1300 RPM at 4th Notch, 1400 RPM at 5th Notch, 1500 RPM at 6th Notch,
1650 RPM at 7th Notch & 1800 RPM at 8th Notch. Depending upon the speed setting / Notch of the Master
Controller, LCC-107B(s) changes the actuator current of Diesel Engine(s).
3.6 TRACTION ALTERNATOR EXCITATION CONTROL
Change the Engine Control Switch to “RUN” position. Ensure that Master Controller Reverse Handle is in
either Forward or Reverse direction & Main Handle is in ‘0’ position with pressed deadman condition.
Switch ON the “EXC ON” switch provided in the Driver's Control Switch Box. This operation set the
control circuit for excitation. Move the Master Controller Main Handle to Notch ‘1’ position with pressed
deadman condition. As soon as the Main Handle moves to Notch 1, LCC-107B (s) get 1st notch speed
through coded signals. Meanwhile, wire no. 3 get supply through Master Controller, Excitation Control
Relay ECR1 (2) get energised and “Excitation-1 (2) - ON” indication appears in LED indication panel. This
relay opens the reset voltage 24 VDC between LCC-107B terminals 13 & 14 through wires 203E (203F) &
299A (299B). As soon as the reset voltage is released, the excitation current starts build up from terminals 23
& 24 of LCC-107B(s). Within few seconds it reaches to its maximum to match the Diesel Engine output
power (Gross power – Power Consumed by Auxiliaries). Move the Master Controller Main Handle to Notch
2. As soon as the Master Controller Main Handle is moved to 2nd notch, logic signals through wire nos. 4,5,6
& 7 changes the Diesel Engine speed using LCC-107B to 2nd notch speed i.e. 1000 RPM and excitation
changes to get the maximum output power to match with Diesel Engine output. Depending upon the V-I
characteristics (Load Conditions) of the Traction Alternator, excitation current varies through wire nos.
1901A (1901B) & 2101A (2101B) at fixed notch. External Resistance 12 Ω keeps the Excitation current
always below 10 Amps. However, the maximum Excitation current required for Traction Alternator is less
than 6 Amps. Same procedure is applicable for higher notches also.

atmosphere ensuring trouble free operations under the most demanding conditions.
Transient voltage dips are lower.
Liberally rated diodes have been used in rotating rectifier assembly to ensure high product reliability
specifically for rotating application.
The rotating diodes are protected by a surge suppresser, which has the ability to chop the transients from
1600 volts to less than 450 volts.
For D.E.T.C. /U.S. power requirement is maintained constant at different notches.
Voltage X current = constant
Depending upon the load requirement, Constant & rated powers have been achieved through excitation,
which have been controlled with the help governor LCC 107B, which is a special feature of D.E.T.C. /U.S.
Depending upon the load requirements of the multiple unit, Governor provides current input to exciter stator,
which induces power in exciter armature, which then rectified by diode wheel (rotating rectifier) and is fed
into main rotating field, ultimately responsible for the power output of alternator.
The diesel engine in the present case has a gross HP of 340 and input to traction is 310 HP at 38 °C of
ambient and at a speed of 1800 RPM. The higher voltage capability of traction alternator enables the
locomotive to be operated at full field of traction motors. AC Generator armature winding is housed in Stator
and field Winding is placed on Rotor. Brush-less construction of rotating rectifier gives the required amount
of excitation to the rotating field.
The excitation circuit is designed to ensure that the excitation current does not exceed by 6 Amps at any
operating point.

Bearing Assembly

TRACTION ALTERNATOR
At the outset, it may be emphasised that the routine maintenance of Traction Alternator is much simpler due
to the absence of Commutator and its brush-less arrangement.
Routine maintenance of Traction Alternator therefore, mainly includes periodic cleaning and inspection of
the machine.
It is recommended that the period of inspection should be more frequent in the initial period of service, and
schedule can be subsequently relaxed based on experience. The periodic maintenance schedule chart
accompanied with this manual should be filled and should be periodically sent back to the manufacturer.
4.1 CLEANING
Clean all the dust and dirt from the exterior of the Alternator, taking special care at the areas around air
opening and inspection covers. Air Inlet cover is removed from the alternator by taking out the M12 hex
head screw. Then only the air inlet cover can be removed and it is advisable to take care for withdrawal of
small M6 screw while opening the assembly. Air inlet net to be cleaned only with kerosene or and other
solvent. Dirt & dust of the alternator is to be cleaned by vaccum cleaner. In absence of vacuum cleaner, dry
compressed air is to be used for cleaning. During cleaning it is to be ensured that dust is blown out of
alternator or air inlet duct whenever compressed air has been applied for cleaning.
Wipe the dust over the diode and insulation disc and approachable parts of the rotor field coils and
connections. Best way of cleaning is to moist a clean lint free cloth with solvent for wiping. Recommended
cleaning solvents are given in Table.
While cleaning, look for any defects, hot spots or abnormalities, for taking corrective action consult with
manufacturer.
4.2 PERIODIC INSPECTION
Periodic inspection should be carried out after thorough cleaning and following points should be given
special attention.
Inspect the diode wheel for any damage of knots of resi-glass and cable holdings. Use glass chord of dia. 1.0
to do the needful as per the perception of operating personal. This is only a temporary solution.
Check machine exciter for any collection of grease leakage from the bearing assy. If the leakage appears to
be significant then end frame covers as shown in a figure are to be removed and the leakage should be
cleaned.
Check the Main Terminal box and Exciter Terminal Box for dust and use blower.
Check bus bars and connections for cracks or frayed insulation, ensuring complete security, of operating
personnel.
Ensure that there are no loose nuts or bolts in the machine and securely close the inspection cover. One
should be Very careful while doing the job on the an side (coupling side)
4.2.1 PERIODIC TIGHTENING OF BOLTS

TRACTION ALTERNATOR

in rotor if it is taken out for overhauling or for bearing change.
4.2.2 INSULATION CHECK
In every 3 months, check the insulation resistance of the rotor and stator with a 500 Volts Megger and record
the IR value. The Alternator can be safely operated with a minimum hot insulation resistance of 1 to 2 Mega
ohms. Further fall in IR calls for additional cleaning and re-painting with insulating varnish of stator and
rotor. Sometimes the accumulation of moisture in the machine leads to low Insulation Resistance, then the
machine needs prolonged drying at low temperature of 100-110 °C till the insulation improves. Specially
take care of the deposition of dirt and during the first heavy rains of the season.

After the field coils are installed, the coils connections are to be completed and the rotor needs to be resin
treated in line with the instruction under reconditioning.
Dynamically balance rotor, after the final assembly of diode wheel components. Balance weight can be
added on support plate and on coupling face where provision is specially made for this. Balancing should be
done at 1100 rpm within 5 GMS of residual unbalance.
4.3.2.3 BEARING COMPONENTS
Examine outer bearing cap, shrink ring, bearing cap for any dents, score marks. If they are of minor nature
attend with a oil stone and rinse. If the damage is considerable same are to be replaced with new
components.
Examine the followings:
1. Flaking or cracks in the ball path. If found, reject the Bearing.
2. Heavy electrical pitting. If found, reject the bearing.
3. Raised craters around the edges. Stone off (do not file).
4. Mottled distributed pattern of dirt denting. Scrap the Bearing.
5. Evidence of rubbing or turning on the shaft. Look for loose Spacers or interference of the
housing parts. If rubbing is Heavy or if there is wear on the shaft, reject the bearing.
Examine the outer race as follows:
Slide the outer ring by hand and if the ball drags, scrap the bearing.
Scrap the bearing if any of the following conditions are discovered on any of the bearing parts.
1. Severe scoring caused by inadequate lubrication.

TRACTION ALTERNATOR
2. Corrosive pitting caused by moisture or electrolytic action.
3. Break or crack (possibly caused by striking the shafts with a hammer during removal).
4.4 REASSEMBLY OF TRACTION ALTERNATOR
1. Fit the distance collar onto the shaft, if removed, ensuring that it is solidly up to the shaft abutment
face.
2. Fit the bearing by heating it to 100 to 110 °C and shrinking onto the shaft (if already removed),
when cold. Tap the race to ensure that it is solidly up to shaft abutment face. Put identification marks
on both the distance collar and shrink ring.
Rest of the procedure to be followed in reverse as described in clause no

9.1, and of course any other best practices can also be adopted depending
on the requirements.
STANDARD REFERENCE CONDITIONS
TEMPERATURE
These alternators are designed for an ambient temperature of 55°C. For marine and other applications where
the ambient temperature is greater than 55 °C, the alternators must be derated to ensure that the actual
temperature does not exceed the specified maximum, Outputs are normally quoted at 55 ° C. These outputs
must be multiplied by the following factors for higher ambient temperatures.
TEMPERATURE MULTIPLIER
(°C)
60 0.95
ALTITUDE
Above 1000m the effectiveness of the air is reduced sufficiently to make derating necessary. For altitudes
above 1000m outputs must be multiplied by the following factors.

HUMIDITY
Machines are tropicalised and can successfully operate in high humidity levels. Correct choice of the
insulating materials and careful assessment of the impregnation varnish system and methods achieve this.
5. ALIGN MENT PROCEDURE OF ALTERNATOR WITH DIESEL ENGINE
1. Rotate the engine freely one or more round complete before alignment.
2. Check the engine crankshaft endplay and note down the end play (x). This should be measured with help
of dial bore gauge. Once the measurement is done keep the crankshaft towards vibration damper end.
3. Check the TIR(Total Indicative Reading) of flywheel housing. The check is mandatory if the engine was
taken for rebuild and housing was removed.
4. Record dimension “a” by using vernier calliper.
5. Apply little grease on flywheel pilot bore, as the rotor slides in the pilot bore during assembly as a guide.
Preparing the alternator for alignment: -
1. This alternator being a single bearing alternator Never ever attempt to rotate the alternator rotor when it is
in uncoupled condition as this may damage the windings of rotor/ stator. Alternator is shipped with rotor
locked by shipping bracket.
2. Remove the shipping bracket and mount the flex plates comprising of 8 nos.(1.2 thk) on the rotor by 8 nos
hex head bolts M20X55 long and torque them to 100 lb-ft torque. Engage alternator fan with outer diameter
of coupling.

TRACTION ALTERNATOR
3. Place the hand-operated jack properly to lift up the rotor and measure the distance between the rotor and
stator frame. This should be considered to be accurate when measurement in all the directions is equal. This
exercise should be made with a view to make the rotor shaft horizontal to axis of the alternator/rear bearing.
4. Now measure the endplay of rotor by playing the rotor shaft from rear end, note this play as “y” and
finally keep the rotor pushed to the rear end.
5. Measure the dimension “b” with the vernier calliper and note.
Dim “a” stand for distance between alternator stator spigot face &
flex plate face, which is fixed on rotor shaft.
Dim “b” stands for distance between engine adopter spigot face &
flywheel face.
Shim selection:
1. if a> b then add up the shims between flex plate & Rotor shaft. These shims must have
thickness as, 0.1 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.6mm.
2. Thickness of shims to be added :- (a-b) + (x+y)/2
3. Choose the thickness of shims nearest in multiples of 0.1mm so that both rotor and crankshaft
are at the centre of the travel in their bearing.
4. Two studs 5/8” unc x 100 mm long are to be fixed diagonally opposite in flex plate mounting
hole of engine flywheel.
5. Move/Tilt the alternator to locate studs that are fixed in flywheel, visibly with the holes in flex
plate.
6. 16 nos socket head cap screws M16X70mm to be used for holding stator frame of alternator
with adopter plate of engine with standard bolt tightening practice (diagonally opposite bolts).
7. Cummins supplied 2 nos out of 8no’s hex head bolt 1/2” unc x 3.5 inch to be inserted through
alternator fan, flex plate to flywheel. These bolts are to be partly tightened.
8. Both the studs are taken out safely through alternator fan.
9. Remaining all the 10 bolts are to be placed at vacated fixing locations. All the 12 bolts are to
be tightened at specified torque value followed by the standard tightening practice.

TRACTION ALTERNATOR
After assembly of alternator match the load characteristics.

If there is an abnormal change in the characteristics, then
attention is to be paid on the root cause.
6. PROTECTION OF BALL ROLLER BEARINGS
6.1 GENERAL
The ball bearing incorporated into CG Traction machines is of high quality and adequate capacity as
supplied by the leading bearing manufacturers. Every care is taken during assembly to ensure that
the correct fitting-tools are employed, and strict cleanliness observed, to achieve long and trouble-
free operation of bearings in service.
It is essential that equal care is taken of bearings, which may be subject to removal and replacement
during normal overhaul procedures, and of new bearings to be fitted when renewal is necessary.
Bearings seldom break down as a result of normal usage; the most common causes of bearing failure
can be traced to mishandling, damage or stress set up during fitting or removal, dirt, corrosion, and
over or under lubrication.
ALWAYS CLEAN BEARING COVERS, CAPS AND HOUSINGS BEFORE

REMOVING BEARINGS, AND USE CORRECT WITHDRAWAL AND
REFITTING TOOLS.
The following information is a general guide to the care and use of roller bearings. More detailed
literature is obtainable from the appropriate bearing manufacturers.
6.2 FITTING AND REMOVING BEARINGS
1) The use of a press or extractor is preferable than to a hammer and drift whenever possible. It is
also preferable to immerse bearing in oil at a temperature of 100 °C for 25-30 minutes, or place in an
oven under the same conditions.
2) If it is necessary to hammer the tool when removing a shaft nut or bearing retaining nut, always
firmly support the shaft, to avoid shock-loading the rolling elements or races.
3) Never strike a bearing directly with a hammer; a mild steel or brass drift or tube should be
interposed between hammer and bearing. The end of the drift or tube in contact with the bearing
should be squared off and free from burrs.
4) Check bearing housings for signs of race creepage.

TRACTION ALTERNATOR
5) When using presses, extractors or drifts for the fitting/removal of bearings it is essential that no
load be transmitted through the rolling elements of the bearing.
6.3 INTERCHANGEABILITY OF BEARING COMPONENTS
Roller bearing components must not be inter changed.
NOTE: Bearing failure can occur as a result of accidental or indiscriminate interchanging of bearing
components. The component parts of individual bearings must be kept together at all times and not
mixed with other, similar, bearings and bearing components.
6.4 CLEANING AND ANTI-CORROSION TREATMENT
A. General Treatment
Avoid the temptation to spin a bearing after it has been removed from an assembly, and before
cleaning; this is to avoid compressing hard particles, which may be present in the lubricant, thereby
initiating track defects.
B. Bearings which should not be cleaned
Do not clean bearings, which are to be returned to the manufacturer for defect examination; such
bearings should immediately be wrapped in grease-resisting paper and boxed.
C. Cleaning the bearings
The importance of cleanliness when dealing with bearings cannot be too highly emphasised. The
parts must be scrupulously clean to enable accurate assessment of serviceability to be made and, if
found to be serviceable, it is of equal importance that they be maintained in a clean condition for
subsequent build into the assembly.
To minimise the risk or corrosion by handling, it is recommended that, so far as is possible,

operators should wear protective gloves during and after the cleaning process.
Bearings or components incorporating bearing surfaces, must in no circumstances be left in a dry

condition, or unprotected against corrosion.
Tri-chloro-ethylene, carbon tetrachloride, or paraffin should not to be

used for cleaning bearings, as any of these agents can promote corrosion.
D. Cleaning Equipment
Where large numbers of bearings are to be processed it may be advisable to provide separate
cleaning, rinsing and inhibiting tanks of a size appropriate to the volume of work. Each tank may be
TRACTION ALTERNATOR
constructed of mild steel and should be equipped with a drain plug. Wire mesh baskets or platforms
should be provided to hold the bearings clear of sediment in the bottom of the tank. The inhibiting
oil tank should be heated to 90 ° to 100 °C (194 ° to 212 ° F).
1) Initial cleaning tank
The tank should contain an adequate quantity of white spirit / gasoline and should be drained,
cleaned out, and refilled with fresh liquid whenever approximately 100 bearings per gallon of liquid
have been processed, or when excessive contamination is suspected.
2) Second-wash tank
Also to contain white spirit / gasoline and to be topped up with fresh, clean liquid to replace drag-out
losses.
3) Inhibiting oil tank
The tank to contain inhibiting oil such as shell Ensis 100.
4) Mineral jelly tank
The mineral jelly must be maintained at 80 ° to 90 °C (176 ° to 194°F) and be periodically topped
up to replace drag-out losses.
The tank should be cleaned out and refilled with fresh mineral jelly whenever contamination is
suspected.
E. Cleaning and temporary inhibiting
To minimise the possibilities of corrosion on the bearing surfaces during cleaning and subsequent
inspection, it is recommended that bearings should not remain unwrapped for more than 4 to 5 hours
while temporarily inhibited. Bearings should always be immersed in a horizontal position in the
cleaning and inhibiting fluids to avoid the retention of air pockets. Rotate the bearings during the
cleaning operation.
The following sequence of operations is recommended and should be carried through with the least
possible delay between each operation.
1) Wash the bearings in the initial wash tank using a bristle brush to remove all dirt or old lubricant.
2) Remove the bearings from the wash tank and allow draining for 5 minutes.
After the initial wash, carbonised bearings may be soaked in hot mineral
oil (90 ° to 100 °C, 194 ° to 212 °F); agitating the bearings slowly, from
time to time. Badly carbonised bearings may be cleaned in a strong
alkaline solution; see the appropriate manufacturer's instructions.

TRACTION ALTERNATOR
3) Completely immerse and wash the bearings in the second wash tank.
4) Remove the bearings from the tank and allow draining for 5 minutes.
5) Immerse the bearings in the inhibiting oil tank for temporary protection against corrosion.
6) Remove the bearings from the oil and allow thoroughly draining and cooling in still, dry, dust free
air.
At this stage, the bearings should be examined for Defects; however, if

some delay between cleaning and examination is unavoidable, the
components should be wrapped in grease resisting paper.
F. Treatment of new bearings
New bearings should not be removed from the package until immediately before fitting. It is
preferable to remove the preservative from the rolling members and race surfaces by immersion in
the inhibiting oil tank as in E5 and 6.
G. Treatment after inspection
After inspection, again wash and inhibit the bearings as described.
If the bearings are not immediately required for fitting they must be wrapped in grease-resisting
paper or unsealed polythene envelopes. Bearing may be stored in this condition for up to 14 days.
Bearings to be stored for longer periods should be treated as follows: -
1) Totally immerse the bearings in the mineral jelly tank for approximately 10 minutes.
2) After cooling, dip the bearing a second time into the mineral jelly, remove immediately and wrap
the bearing In grease-resisting paper. Store in a dust tight box.
6.5 INSPECTION
After cleaning, bearings should be thoroughly inspected together with associated components, such
as seals. The housings and shafts from which the bearings have been removed should also be
examined. Thoroughly examine each bearing for visual defects such as rust and discoloration,
cracks, wear, indentations and bruising, and track defects. Bearings associated with electrical
machines may sometimes be found to contain craters or pits caused by electrical arcing. The craters
will have a centre of black, fused, metal. Unless the damage to the rolling element or track is
slight, bearings should be rejected.
A. Rust and corrosion

TRACTION ALTERNATOR
Rust on the rolling elements is not acceptable and the bearing should be rejected. Very light
corrosion pitting on the races may be accepted, depending upon the speed and loading of bearings.
B. Discoloration
Slight discoloration of the rolling elements or tracks is acceptable, but if the components turn blue or
brown, indicating excessive heat, the bearing must be rejected.
C. Cracks and fractures
In all cases, the bearing must be rejected
D. Flaking
Flaking appears when fragments of material have broken away from the bearing track. Subsequent
wear in the bearing due to increasing stresses is accelerated. Then bearing must be rejected.
E. Smearing
Smearing is the result of the balls or rollers sliding rather than rolling in relation to the tracks ocage,
causing incipient seizure. The bearing should be rejected.
F. Wear
Excessive wear does not occur during normal operation of the bearing. It is generally the result of
misuse in fitting, external vibration when the machine is stationary - causing local shock-loading via
the rolling elements of the bearing, or the ingress of dirt, inadequate or incorrect lubrication is also a
contributory factor.
Non-operating surfaces
(a) Light rust may be removed with fine abrasive cloth, and the bearing thoroughly re-washed as
described Shafts and housings The shafts and housing associated with bearings undergoing
inspection should be examined for defects. Pick-up or scoring on surfaces, which make contact to the
bearing must be rectified by stoning or dressing.
Surfaces, which are worn below the drawing limits, should be built up if possible or the shaft or
housing renewed.

9. Cooling Blower Supply : 110 Volts D.C.
10. Mounting of Rectifier : On Board
11. Dimensions mm. (H x L x W) : 1695 x 800 x 450 without side panels
12 Weight : 330 Kgs. Approx
The On-Board mounted Rectifier Unit has been designed to feed the Traction Motor load of the 700 HP DETC.
It has been designed to work on 660 Volts max, 3 Phase, 3 Wires AC Input supply derived from underslung
alternator. The Rectifier Unit has been designed to withstand shocks and vibrations encountered in service of a
rolling stock. It rectifies the three-phase AC voltage into a DC voltage. The equipment meets the requirement of
IS: 7788.
2. FUNCTION OF THE RECTIFIER UNIT
The function of the Rectifier is to convert a three-phase supply into DC Voltage, for driving Traction Motors
connected in parallel across the Rectifier. Each of the three bridges are protected by Semiconductor grade Fuses
at the input. In case of a diode failure, the particular bridge is isolated by its fuses. The other two bridges
continue to supply the full load current to the Traction Motors. Hence, n-1 redundancy is built-in. Each of the
Main fuses have a smaller fuse called trip-fuse connected across it. When the Main fuse blows the fault current
is diverted to these trip fuses. These in turn clear the fault current and in the process operate a plunger, which
hits a Micro-switch. This condition stays latched and can be reset only by replacing the Main Fuse and the Trip
Fuse. The potential free N/O & N/C contacts of the Micro switches in turn operate a Contactor to give an
indication in driver’s cabin that a Fuse has blown. In a similar manner failure of a second bridge is indicated by
the operation of a second Contactor. In this condition the Control Circuit of the DETC must reduce the
maximum load current. A single bridge will no longer be able to carry the full load current of the Traction
Motors. Suitable corrective action must be taken. The Rectifier is protected at the input and the output by
suitable Damping Circuits.
The Rectifier is cooled by forcing air through the fins of the Heat Sink. Force cooling is achieved with the help
of a Axial fan arrangement. The Axial Fan operates from 110 VDC Auxiliary Power Supply. The fan, while
working, generates a positive pressure inside its casing. This pressure is sensed by a Pressure Switch. In case of

POWER RECTIFIER
failure of the Axial fan this pressure will drop and is sensed by the Pressure Switch and the information is
transmitted to the Control Circuit through its NO & NC potential free contacts.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE RECTIFIER UNIT
The Rectifier has an AC Input and the DC Output terminals are on front bottom side. The Fan draws air from
the engine compartment from top and pushes down through the fins of the Heat Sink and is discharged to the
atmosphere through bottom floor.
The side panels of the rectifier unit are made of MS with backup of FRP sheet on inner side for creating higher
creepage path with live terminals of the unit. These are bolted to main frame.
AC & DC Power Terminals (busbars) are accessible by opening front lower panel and Auxiliary Terminal
Board and CT & PT Terminals are accessible by opening rear lower panel.
The Diodes and Fuses are accessible by removing front upper panel. The arrangement is as shown below.

b. 110 VDC supply and Control cables to the control terminal board
4.3 COMMISSIONING
The unit must be subjected to routine checkup including checking of the relevant connections. One has to go
through the technical particulars and general feature sections. After checking all the details the Rectifier Unit is
ready for use.
Before applying Main AC Power to rectifier, following procedure to be followed.
Axial Fan: The fan speed has been set to give required air flow through rectifier heatsink duct. However it
should be checked for air flow from 90 VDC to 125 VDC supply. A potentiometer control has been provided to
set fan speed. It can be accessed by opened by removing left side panel.
The fan speed should be set such that at 90 VDC supply it gives minimum 5 mts./sec air velocity through
rectifier heatsink duct and should not trip at 125 VDC because of its internal O/L trip mechanism.
Now unit can be energized with 3 Phase AC Supply.
Initially the load may be at half the value for few hours. Check all the components and joints for any abnormal
heating or temperature rise or failure. The Load may be gradually increased, in steps till full load is reached. It
is suggested to report any abnormal behavior to the manufacturer.

POWER RECTIFIER
5. MAINTENANCE
Although due to sufficiently rated quality components and material very low maintenance is required for the
unit, but following steps will help in giving trouble free service.
Atleast once a month open the side panels and clean the dust & soots collected on panels and within the unit with
dry compressed air or any other suitable means
Check all electrical connections and mechanical assemblies. If found loose, refit it.
Check air speed at outlet of each rectifier duct. It should be minimum 6 mts./ second at outlet.
Check healthiness of rectifier fuses. Failure of fuse will be indicated by ejected plunger of corresponding Trip
Indicator Fuse. If found blown, replace both main and trip indicator fuse after rectifying cause of fuse failure.
Clean the Insulators with cloth / brush.
Check conditions of resistors and capacitors. Replace if found damaged.
In case of failure of diode, please follow following removal & refitting procedure.
The fan is brushless type hence it does not need any specific maintenance.

3. CONSTRUCTION
The basic construction of the traction machine is illustrated in the Longitudinal section drawing indicating the
components used. The motor construction can be divided under the following heads.
1) Armature
2) Stator with coils & End-frames
3) Suspension Bearing
4) Gear-case, Gear, Pinion etc
3.1 ARMATURE
ARMATURE SHAFT
The shaft is manufactured & ground from Ni. Cr. Mo. Steel to BS 970 EN-25 "V" Bars forged material, which is
ultrasonically tested to avoid any flaws in the raw material for better reliability.
ARMATURE CORE
The Armature core is built up of coated electrical sheet laminations to reduce the eddy current losses.
ARMATURE END-RINGS
The Cast Steel Armature End-ring supporting the Core at pinion end has a mounted lightweight Fan for
ventilation. The material of the armature end-ring is forging for withstanding the load. The End-ring on the
commutator end is also manufactured from the Forged Material. The fan sucks the air from the commutator end,
which travels from the armature core through the End-rings & escapes from the openings provided on the pinion
end.
COMMUTATOR
The Commutator is built up with silver bearing copper Commutator bars with the alkyd vinyl bonded mica.
Commutator Hub & Commutator End-ring are of forged type. The anti-creepage PTFE Sleeves is fitted on the
exposed portion of the Steel Vee-Ring.
ARMATURE WINDING
The armature winding is lap wound type providing four parallel paths. The armature power coil conductors are
kapton-covered conductors for better performance. The armature is insulated & wound with class "H" insulation
material. The resi-glass banding at both the overhang portions is done with the banding machine under tension.
Complete wound Armature is subjected to Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) in solvent less polyester resin.
The Armature Coils are held in the slot portion with the help of slot wedges.
EQUALIZER WINDING
TRACTION MOTOR
The equalizer winding provides for 50 % Equalization.
ARMATURE BEARINGS
For the armature bearings installed at both commutator and pinion sides, a sealed type cylindrical roller bearing
with an additional advantage of intermediate grease refilling systen is employed. At the commutator side, Type
NHJ314EMC4 roller bearing is used and at the pinion side, type NU324MC4 is used. These armature bearings
can be operated for 3 years duration without dismounting.
ARMATURE BEARING COMPONENTS
The armature bearing-greasing labyrinth consists of forged bearing components accurately machined. The extra
firm variety felts are provided in the grooves of the end frames to prevent the lubrication leakage. The distance
collars at both the ends are shrink fitted, for the adequate location of the armature roller bearings. The grease
thrower at the Pinion end is shrink fitted outside the Bearing Cover P.E for protection against the ingress of
dust/Gear Case Compound.
3.2 STATOR
MAGNET FRAME
The magnet Frame is of casted type, with the terminal box provision for the main lead terminations. The frame
pole pads are machined accurately to avoid any variations in the pole bores thereby affecting the air gap. The
magnet frame is provided with a bracket for vertical mounting of Gear-case which also provides support to the
top half of Gear-case.
MAIN POLES
The main pole cores and coils are potted to the core with solvent-less polyester resin for better performance &
mechanical endurance. The Main Pole coil is of flat wound type with the frame side coil with 10 turns &
armature side coil with 9 turns. The coils are connected by brazing. The two open coils (N-pole) have the
terminals integral with them whereas the two crossed coils (S-poles) have terminals brazed with them. The main
pole field coils are of construction as illustrated in the fig.
COMMUTATING POLES
The Commutating pole core and coils are also potted with solventless polyester resin. The Compole coil is of 16
turns wound edge-wise. The terminals & connectors are of robust design to avoid the failures under
vibrations/impact. The Compole connections are made from the flexible cables.
BRUSH HOLDER AND CARBON BRUSHES

TRACTION MOTOR
This motor is 4-pole type motor and the brush holders are mounted on the frame pads by bolting arrangements.
The brush holders and carbon brushes can be inspected by inspection windows provided. The brush holders are
mounted on the frame pads by two insulating rods. The Brush Holders are manufactured from High tensile Brass
castings. The Carbon brushes of EG14D are of split type for smooth commutation.
END-FRAMES
The end-frames at both the ends are of Cast steel with the P.E. end-frame having the provision of integral arm
with the body for supporting the gear-case.
TERMINAL BOX
The terminal box has been provided in the centre location. The crossover line is fixed to the insulating rod and
lead supporter is used at the outlet of lead wires on the fitting-out side. On the reverse of the terminal cover, the
packing is stuck to prevent dust from coming into the terminal box. Four Main cables come out in the terminal
box which are connected in the sequence of A, AA, FF, F, E when viewed from the front with the Pinion side on
the right side & commutator side on the left.
3.3 MOTOR SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENT
The Motor Suspension on axle consists of taper roller bearings and suspension tube. The suspension tube
arrangement replaces the traditional use of axle caps & also avoids frequent maintenance. The use of taper-roller
bearings in the suspension arrangement allows the motor to run at high speeds.
3.4 GEAR CASE, GEAR WHEEL & PINION
GEAR CASE
The gear compound is filled from the inspection cover installed on the gear case. The Gear case is fabricated
type with the assembly in two halves i.e top & bottom half for ease in assembling & dis-assembling. The Top
half of gear-case is vertically supported and mounted on frame and end-frame arm PE. The bottom half is
horizontally bolted with frame and mounted on end-frame arm on PE side.
EARTHING LEAD ASSEMBLY
The earthing lead assembly is installed on the M8 tapped hole provided on the Magnet Frame.
GEARS & PINIONS
The gear & pinions are manufactured by BS 970 En 354 Case carborised steel conforming to RDSO Spec.
MP280009. The gears & pinions are machined in accuracy grade of 6 of BS 235:1987. The gear ratio of 20:91
has been adopted to suit the requirements of the Diesel Electric Multiple Unit application. The Bellow
arrangement provides the inlet for the air through the Commutator end, which escapes through the Pinion end.
3.5 EARTH BRUSH AND EARTH BRUSH HOLDER

TRACTION MOTOR
The earth brush holder is installed in the terminal box of the magnet frame. The earth brush is made of metallic
carbon and pressed to the axle by the coil spring.
4. ERECTION AND COMMISSIONING
4.1 COMMISSIONING PRE-CHECKS
Before the motor is mounted on the bogie there are certain checks which need to be performed to assure a
reliable service in future. They are mentioned as underneath:-
4.1.1 LIGHT RUN OF MOTOR AT 1000 RPM
Subject the motor to a light run for 30 minutes to check that it runs freely and with quiet bearings. Also record
the Bearing temperature at both the ends. The vibration level of the motor should also be within the permissible
values of 30 microns.
IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO RUN BEARINGS AT HIGH SPEED UNDER

LIGHT LOAD CONDITIONS FOR LONG PERIODS BECAUSE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF ROLLER SKID, WHICH MAY CAUSE SCUFFING OF
THE TRACK AND ROLLER SURFACES.
The motor shall be subjected to a run at no load as per the test schedule & corresponding voltage & current shall
be recorded, the readings must be comparable to the values declared in the test results.
4.1.2 MEASUREMENT OF INSULATION RESISTANCE
The Insulation Resistance of the windings of the motor (complete) shall be recorded with 1 kV Megger. In no
case the IR Value should be less than 50 Mega-Ohms. In case the value is below the recommended value, the
individual windings should be separated & IR value of individual windings should be checked.
4.1.3 MEASUREMENT OF COLD RESISTANCE
The cold resistances of the different windings i.e. Armature, Main Pole and compole windings should be
measured with the help of the VI method and the variations in the values shall not be more than 5% of the
nominal prescribed values. The Armature winding resistance is measured across the 30 Commutator bars through
the inspection window and then the resistance so obtained is to be multiplied by (50/30) = 1.667 to get the
complete Armature winding resistance.
4.2 ASSEMBLY AND ERRECTION

TRACTION MOTOR
As regards the assembly of the various other components on the traction motor i.e. Gear case, Pinion and locking
plate, Earthing Brush assembly etc., refer to Reconditioning and Repairs. The Earth lead assembly is to be
fixed along with the copper washer & M8 bolt on the M8 tapped hole provided on Top of the Magnet frame.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
These checks are to be performed in the condition where the main motor has been installed on the truck.
5.1 BRUSH HOLDERS AND CARBON BRUSHES
The brush holder and carbon brush are important components in particular and have a great effect on
commutation. It is therefore necessary to always perform correct maintenance for obtaining normal operation.
If dust worn powders of carbon brush etc. enter between the holder case pocket and carbon brush and the motor
is operated in the sticking state of carbon brush poor contact with the commutator surface is caused and results in
poor commutation and/or flash-over from time to time. Therefore, in the check of brush holder, blow out the
holder case pocket with air and wipe with a dry cloth carefully.
Contamination of surface of insulating rod may cause a creeping short-circuit. So it should be cleaned by white
gasoline-infiltrated rag as frequently as needed.
In case that the surface of insulating rod has been roughened by flashover etc. correct with emery paper and
clean. If the surface is heavily damaged and cannot be corrected by emery paper and also, crack or seizure is
found in the insulating rod, replace with new one.
The carbon brush in the traction motor is tilted, clearance between holder case pocket and carbon brush increases
in the revolution. So, check to see as required that the pocket dimension of brush holder case and carbon brush
dimension are as specified. If the pocket is found worn beyond the maximum wear limit, replace it with new one.
The quality (material) and shape of carbon brush have a great effect on commutation therefore the specified one
must be used without fail. If any carbon brush of different material is used then, it may cause poor commutation,
unusual wear, damage of commutator surface etc. So never use any carbon brush made of different material from
that in use.

TRACTION MOTOR
Brush Holder: Side view
Brush Holder: Top view
Check if the carbon brush has such length that it can be used sufficiently till the next check.
Check for Crack in the Carbon brush.

TRACTION MOTOR
There shouldn’t be break of the pigtail (lead wire of carbon brush).
There shouldn’t be any looseness, drop-off etc. in the tamped part of pigtail.
The-carbon brush shouldn't be left seized in the holder case pocket.
Contacts of the carbon brush and commutator should be proper in condition.
If the carbon brush can no longer be used till the next check because of wear, replace it with new one. If the
dimension is found equal to 37 mm during the check of carbon brush, it may wear down to 32 mm-wear limit,
before the next check comes round. All such carbon brush should be replaced.
Carbon Brush
After inserting the carbon brush into the pocket of brush holder try to move the carbon brush up and down and
make sure that it moves smoothly.
When setting the brush spring after inserting the carbon brush into the brush holder be careful so that the lead
wire (pig tail) of carbon brush is not caught by the spring.

TRACTION MOTOR
When the worn out carbon brush has been replaced with new one, make slide fitting so that the carbon brush
contacts the commutator surface correctly. For making slide fitting of the carbon brush, move emery paper along
the commutator surface with the sand side of the emery paper applied to the brush and repeats this procedure a
few times.
HANDLE GENTLY IN MAKING SLIDE-FITTING TO AVOID DAMAGE

TO THE COMMUTATOR SURFACE.
After completion of the slide-fitting blow away brush powder with compressed air.
Tighten the terminal bolts of carbon brush lead wires securely.
The brush holders are fitted on the Magnet frame Brush gear mounting pads. Carbon brushes can be inspected
through the Inspection Cover openings provided on the frame. The latch type inspection covers provides access
to the brush holders.
DO NOT RELEASE THE BRUSH SPRING FROM HAND SUDDENLY

OR DO NOT DROP THE SPRING OFF THE SPRING SUPPORT. THIS
MAY BREAK THE CARBON BRUSH.
5.2 COMMUTATOR
As long as commutator is operated in good condition a film with a certain luster is formed on the
commutator surface. However, if a brush made of different material is used or dust gets on the surface,
ideal film won’t possibly be obtained. Unless otherwise wear of the brush, rough surface of the
commutator, stepped wear of the commutator, etc. are caused, there is no need to be concerned about the
film on the commutator.
Moreover, if such abnormalities occur, perform the maintenance of commutator. Moreover, after turning
the commutator the gap between the commutator and brush holder shall be ensured by shifting the
support block for the brush gear assembly towards the commutator side along the oblong hole provided
in the support block and then ensuring the torquing of around 12kg-m.
The securing block is welded on the brush gear mounting pads on the traction motor magnet frame
which become integral with the magnet frame. Also the securing block and the support block have
serrated faces (16 T.P.I) for ensuring proper grip.
The anti-creepage PTFE coated support spindles support the brush holders on the support block. Also the
TRACTION MOTOR
sparking tip arrangement is provided on the brush holders and end frames with a nominal gap of 12 mm.
The dimension of the center line of the carbon brush from the top of the serrations of the securing block
is critical and should be maintained as shown in the fig.

TRACTION MOTOR
5.3 GEARCASE AND LUBRICATION
The maintenance checks of gear case and gear lubrication oil should be made placing importance on the
following aspects:
Open the Oil filler cap & check the Gear compound level.
Gear Case – Bottom half
When checking the Gear Compound level, if it is checked immediately after stop of the train, it will be
felt as if the gear compound is short. So, check the level after 20 to 30 minutes have elapsed, so that the
complete compound collects in the Gear case.
When supplying the compound, heat it to 60 – 80 °C (so that it can flow smoothly)
After the gear oil has been supplied, keep it for 20 to 30 minutes with the motor left in its stationary
state, and then check the compound level.
Check to see that there is no leakage of the gear compound. If any leakage of the gear compound is
discovered or consumption of the compound is considerably heavy, the felt sealing of gear case might
have worn off. So, check for drop - off of the sealing by removing gear case.
Check for obstructions of the breather. If it is discovered clogged with something, blow it out with air.

TRACTION MOTOR
Gear Case – Top half
Check for looseness of the gear case mounting bolts and for cracks in the gear case.
5.4 GEARCASE CHECKING
During the first few weeks in service, check the level of lubricant every week on several vehicles
and look generally for any sign of leakage. All checks should be carried out with the Gear case
warm after a run, but after allowing a short period to settle the lubricant. Continue these weekly
checks until the lubricant level has fallen to the minimum permissible as indicated by the dipstick,
note the time lapse. The shortest time interval on the representative batch of vehicles may be used
as a basis for the lubrication schedule, after allowing a safety examination. Thus, if the shortest time
interval is two months, specify topping up at monthly intervals.
5.5 ARMATURE BEARINGS
Since the armature bearing is an important mechanical part, it must always be kept in good
lubricated state. For this, a regular maintenance is essential. In the routine check, check for unusual
sound, oil leak etc. during rotation of the bearing and re-supply grease every year. At the time of
overhaul, exchange the whole grease.
SOUND OF BEARINGS
a. In the operation, always pay attention to the working sound of the traction motor and if any
unusual sound and/or vibration are observed, stop the operation immediately, dismount the motor
and look for the real cause carefully.
b. When the traction motor is removed from the truck be sure to perform the running light test of the
motor and check for unusual noise. Check for the noise applying a noise detector bar to the outside

TRACTION MOTOR
of side cover nearest the bearing at both pinion and commutator sides. In this case even for other
few motors check for noise. When comparing the working sound of these motors with each other, it
can be judged easily whether the sound is different from the usual one.
5.6 REFILLING OF GREASE
a. The grease to be refilled intermediately should be of the same kind as that used
in assembly.
b. The intermediate refilling intervals and the amount of grease refilled should be
as described in the Chapter Reconditioning and repairs.
5.7 EXAMINATION OF GEARS
Whenever a gear case is removed from a motor, examine the gears carefully. They should be coated
uniformly with lubricant, which should show no sign of being contaminated with dirt or water.
If the gears are to re-enter service immediately clean thoroughly using xylol or a similar solvent
applied with a brush. Wipe with a cloth afterwards. If the gearwheel is likely to stand for a time,
clean only ten to twelve teeth spaced equally round the periphery, leaving lubricant on the reminder
of the gearwheel as protection. After examination, if the condition of these cleaned teeth is
satisfactory, recoat them with gear compound.
The teeth should be free from cracks and the flanks should have a uniform, unscored polished
appearance. The tooth profile should be substantially the same as that of a new gear. If a gearwheel
has chipped, broken or badly worn teeth discard it and fit a new gearwheel.
Ensure that, as far as possible, gearwheels are returned to service with the pinions with which they
were meshed originally. Do not over fill the gear case, which may flood the PE armature bearing
and cause premature bearing failure. Use the opening provided on oil filler unit for measuring the
maximum lubricant level.
ENSURE ALSO ON NO ACCOUNT, LUBRICANT LEVEL GOES BELOW

THE MINIMUM LEVEL. USE DIPSTICK FOR MAINTAINING
MINIMUM LEVEL.
Gear and pinion is to be critically examined before allowing them further for service.
PRECAUTIONS
Whenever a gear or pinion wears significantly there is step created near the root of the tooth where the
TRACTION MOTOR
tip of the mating tooth runs out of engagement. If the gear center distance is exactly correct, this step
will occur at the lowest point of contact between the mating teeth. However the gear center distance
cannot be controlled exactly in service due to axle bearing wear. As the gear center distance spreads, the
teeth become further out of alignment, this forms step at varying depths.
If the same gearings are used there will be very severe tip loading of the tooth and very poor profile at
the root end of the tooth. This can cause severe noise, vibration and premature failure. The step is to be
dressed up with the help of small hand grinder. Care should be taken during the grinding operation not
to under cut the tooth. Step should be removed before checking the profile of the tooth by profile gauge
otherwise faulty readings will occur.
GEAR TOOTH WEAR
Gear tooth wear is measured by scaling the width of the land or tip of the tooth. The gear wheel and
pinion should be removed from service when width at tooth tip or maximum wear per flank measures
less or more respectively than the following limits:
Gear Wheel Pinion

Min Tip Width Max. wear per Min.Tip Width Max. wear per
flank flank
1.8 mm 1.8 mm 0.8 mm 1.8 mm
PROFILE DEVIATION LIMIT
The maximum profile error on any worn gear wheel when checked by a profile checking gauge should
be within 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm Gears/Pinions having more deviation in profile than above should not be
used.
Feeler gauges of .05, .1, .15, .2, .25, .3, .4 mm thickness may be required for this purpose. Profile
checking gauges can be made as per the instructions given below:
Instructions for Making Gear Tooth profile gauge (using a new gear as a pattern)
1. Be sure that the gear used as a pattern is new. The gauge can only be as accurate as the gear from which
it is made. The gear should be thoroughly cleaned before using as a pattern.
2. Make a "partial" mould. The gear itself will complete the mould.
3. Wax all surfaces, which will receive the moulding compound with silicone wax CP mould release. This
material is made by the Chemical Development Corporation 53 endicott St. Danvers, Mass U.S.A.
4. Lay the pinion or gear on a flat smooth waxed surface with the bore vertical. If a table is not available
make a flat plate and clamp it to the side of the gear or pinion.

TRACTION MOTOR
5. The pinions are made with tapered teeth that are the tooth is thicker at the outboard (small-bore) end
than at the inboard (large bore) end. The pinion should be laid on the flat surface, with the outboard
(small-bore) and face down. Thus the gauge will be moulded to fit the thicker end of the tooth.
6. Place the partial mould in position against the tips of the teeth. Make sure that all the surfaces that will
contact the moulding compound have been coated with wax as described. The partial mould and the
pinion should be clamped in position with "C" clamps to prevent anything from disturbing their position
during the hardening process.
7. Mix eleven (11) parts of Ren Die Surface Coat RP-3260-B with one (1) part of Ren die Surface Coat
Hardner RP-3260-B by weight. These materials can be obtained from Ren Plastic Inc. P.O. Box. 1256,
Lansing 4, Michigan, U.S.A.
8. This is a modified epoxy resin which has a pot life of about 30 minutes at room temperature after the
hardener is added.
OBSERVE THE PRECAUTIONS STATED ON THE CAN, ESPECIALLY

AVOIDING ANY CONTACT WITH THE SKIN.
9. Pour the thoroughly mixed resin into the mould until full. Allow the mould to set for several hours,
preferably 12 hours or more.
10. Remove the parts of the mould the pattern pinion or gear the partial mould and the plate, if one was
used. Care should be taken to slide the plastic off the end of the gear teeth so as not to disturb the
profile surface of the newly moulded gauge.
6. RECONDITIONING AND REPAIRS
6.1 REMOVAL OF PINION FROM SHAFT
Two methods of pinion removal have been arranged
(1) Injection method

(2) Mechanical
The second method is intended to be used when the injection equipment is not available. When using the
injection equipment, it is not necessary to remove the armature from the magnet.

TRACTION MOTOR
a. REMOVAL OF PINION USING INJECTION EQUIPMENT
This method is recommended for the withdrawal of the Pinion from the shaft, as it is superior to the mechanical
method of withdrawal.
Special Tools Required: Injection Equipment.
TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY, SOME LOCKING DEVICE/PLATES

SHOULD BE USED, TO RETAIN THE PINION AS IT RECOILS DURING
THE RELEASE PROCESS.
Couple up the injection equipment. Prime the pump with glycerine and continue pumping until the pinion
releases.
Disconnect the injection equipment from the shaft and remove the pinion. Blow out the holes in the shaft and
fit the plug for protection.
Glycerine is used by `Brush', but the standard recommended use is oil.
b. REMOVAL OF PINIONS MECHANICAL METHOD
This method is not recommended for the Pinion withdrawal.
Special Tools Required: Withdrawal Tackle, Packing Peg, Hammer etc.
Attach the withdrawal tackle to the pinion, tighten the nuts on the studs and strike the release pawl with a heavy
lead hammer, tightening the nuts until the pinion releases.
IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO STAND IN LINE WITH THE SHAFT

DURING WITHDRAWAL OPERATION SINCE THE RECOIL, WHEN
THE PINION IS RELEASED MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
6.2 MOUNTING PINION ON SHAFT
When mounting the traction pinion on the shaft, great care must be taken and the following procedure should be
adhered to: -
TRACTION MOTOR
Ensure that the shaft and bore of the pinion are free from burrs and irregularities; these should be polished out
with grinding paste. Remove any sharp edges from the oil distribution channel on the shaft.
Thoroughly clean the injection holes and fitting surfaces with white spirit.
Check the bed of the fitting surfaces using a light smear of Prussian blue paste. A minimum of 85% bed
uniformly distributed is required and should be obtained without lapping. Remove the pinion and thoroughly
clean the bore and shaft.
Gently "feel on" the pinion ensuring that it is home on the taper.
Using suitable gauges, measure the dimension between the end of the shaft and the face of the pinion. Record
this figure for comparison purposes after final pinion fitting. Suspend the pinion in a thermostatically controlled,
free circulating oven or use Induction Heater to attain the above temperature on Pinion Bore. Heat the pinion to a
temperature of 140 °C to 160 °C above ambient, for at least 6 hours in the Oven.
Remove the pinion from the oven, quickly wipe the bore clean and slam the pinion on the shaft. Allow the shaft
and pinion to cool to room temperature. Measure the distance from the end of the shaft to the face of the pinion
and subtract this dimension from the one previously recorded. The figure obtained is the advance of the pinion
along the taper and must fall between the limits 2.6 mm to 2.9 mm. If the correct advancement is not obtained,
remove the pinion and reheat, making the necessary temperature adjustment. Fit the nylon plug in the injection
hole.
6.3 WITHDRAWAL OF ARMATURE FROM MOTOR FRAME
Special Tools Required:

• Outer Race Retaining Ring,

TRACTION MOTOR
Maintenance scheduling is very important and critical for the efficient performance of the electrical machines.
During periodical inspections, incipient faults or defects can be located and rectified. Such attention definitely
reduces the cost of repair and lengthens the life of the equipment. The most suitable intervals between service
maintenance occasions can only be determined by actual service experience. Initially, the intervals should be as
specified until it becomes possible to change them as experience is gained. In the case of lubricants, the
quantities and frequency of lubrications specified should similarly be treated as guide only. The actual interval
between lubrication and quantity of lubricant should be determined from experience and individual duties of
each machine.
A complete history of each machine, detailing the maintenance effected, lubricant consumption, list of renewals,
replacement etc. is therefore of the utmost importance and is thus advised to maintain such records.
7.1 PUTTING INTO SERVICE
After putting new or reconditioned machines into service for the first time, the following checks should be
carried out, during or at the end of first week of operation:
Check that after the motor has been mounted backlash exists between pinion and gearwheel. New gears are
manufactured to have a nominal backlash of 0.2 to 0.7mm, as measured on the outer i.e. non-relieved end of the
gears.
Check tightness of all bolts, particularly axle caps, gear case and brush gear bolts. Examine commutator and
brush gear and check that skin on the commutator is being formed and carbon brushes are bedded correctly.
Check that after a load run, temperatures of axle Suspension Taper Roller Bearings are not excessive.
Check for leaks of gear lubricant. Measure and record gearcase compound.
7.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
a. Monthly
1. Before removing the commutator covers, brush off loose dust or dirt.
2. Examine the commutator and clean the outer, have a well-polished surface and free from bar marking or
bar edge burning.
3. Remove any copper beads from the commutator surface with fine carborundum cloth. Deposits from
dirty or greasy hands should be removed by a solvent.
4. Examine the brush gear and clean the insulating rods.
5. Checks that the brush springs sit correctly on the brushes and that the springs are in good condition.
6. Check carbon brushes for wear.
7. Fit new brushes in place if any brush is unlikely to last until the next inspection.
8. See the Technical Data for minimum length and brush grade.
9. Bed all new brushes to the curvature of the commutator.
TRACTION MOTOR
10. Check the brushes for mechanical damage, breakage of flexible, etc. Fit new brushes if necessary.
11. Check that the flexibles are firmly secured to the brush holder.
12. Check brushes for freedom in the brush-holder and if stick ring cleans both the brush and
13. the brush-way in the holder.
14. Do not soak the brush, as the solvent will eventually ooze out, affecting the commutator and causing the
brush to jam in the holder.
15. If the brush appears to be excessively slack in the brush-holder, check the brush size and discard
the brush or the holder as the case may be.
16. If brush holders have to be removed from the machine, slip thin; clean press board between each brush-
holder and the commutator to avoid damaging the commutator surface.
17. On replacing brush-holders check the clearance between the underside of the brush-holder and the
commutator. See Technical Data.
18. Look carefully for any signs of flash over, overheating, loose connections or damaged insulation.
19. Top up Gear case to the level of gear oil filler unit. See Technical Data for Grade of lubricant.

6. If the field coils and connections are in good condition then dry paint the interior of machine with
insulating varnish such as E-233 red of Dr. Beck or equivalent. If the field coils require repair, remove
and recondition individually. Check the armature bearing details for damage & renew as necessary.
7. Inspect the shaft for damages to pinion and bearing seating and ensure that it is straight.
8. Inspect the armature for loose bands, solder throwing etc. Recondition as required. If the commutator is
worn or damaged, skim the commutator and undercut the mica. It should be ensured that the
Commutator is turned only upto the safe wearing depth diameter i.e. 260 mm
9. Varnish impregnates the repaired or reconditioned armature with the polyester VPI Resin FT2005 of Dr.

11. At the end, dynamically balance the armature ensuring that the maximum unbalance does not exceed
3gm-mm, reassemble the machine and paint the exterior of the machine.
12. Run the machine on no load at about 1000-RPM for 120 minutes to ensure correct operation of the
bearings. When installing the motor in the bogie ensure that all bolts are tightened to the specified torque
values. Fill the Gear case with the correct lubricant to the maximum specified level.
13. After assembly with the bogie, run the motorized bogies for 240 minutes to ensure proper alignment of
the gears and proper seating of gear case felts over axle.
Initially, it is expected that the temperature of the areas near to the felts will go upto 100°C but, after
excess felt has been worn off, the temperatures of these areas will return back to normal temperature
zone of 50-60° C.

3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
3.1 Generator
As mentioned above the statodyne generator is a three phase, homopolar, inductor type alternator without any
rotating, commutator or sliprings. The field windings and AC windings are located in the stator. The field
coils are concentrated in two slots. Each field coil shares half the total number of stator
slots.
Outline drawing of 8 kW Auxiliary alternator

Details of Coupling Flange

The rotor is made up of silicon steel laminations and resembles a cogged wheel. The teeth and slots are
uniformly distributed on the rotor surface.
The core of the stator, completely embraced by the field coils will retain a small residual magnetism if excited
by a battery. The flux produced by the field coil finds its path through the rotor and when the rotor is rotated
the passage of rotor teeth and slots under the field offers a varying reluctance path for the flux produced by the
field coils. This flux varying periodically also links the AC coils and induces an alternating voltage in the AC
coils. The frequency of the voltage depends on the speed of revolution of rotor and the magnitude is decided
upon the speed as well as strength of field.
The field is strengthened by a positive feedback system in the regulator. Thus when the rotor is rotated the
residual magnetism will cause an induced e.m.f. in the AC coils, which is strengthened further by the positive
feedback to the field. The voltage rises till it is a controlled by the regulator.
The AC coils are connected in star and six output leads are brought to the terminal board on the alternator.
3.2 Power - Rectifier

This consists of six silicon diodes connected in three phase full wave bridge. The three phase output of the
alternator is rectified by these diodes to give a DC output at terminals + DC and -DC.

Outline drawing of Rectifier Regulator Unit
Each diode is protected against transient surges voltage by capacitor C1. The whole bridge is protected against
high frequency surges by capacitor C3. The DC output is filtered by capacitor C2.
3.3 Current Transformer

The current transformers are used to sense the load current for the current limit. When the primary winding of
each current transformer carries load current, the secondary winding feeds a three phases voltage to the
rectifier RT2 in the regulator rack.
3.4 The regulator rack

The regulator rack consists of the following parts.
3.4.1 Excitation Transformer

This is a one winding transformer with tappings for input and output. The transformer steps down the voltage
for the field coils. The output of the transformer is taken in the field through the magnetic amplifier before
being rectified by field rectifier diodes.
The transformer has five set of terminals.
Terminals 14 & 15, input from phase 14 & 15 of alternator. Centre tapping, terminal 19, goes to the -ve
terminal for field supply.
Terminals 18 & 161 are the output terminals and go to the respective terminals on the magnetic amplifier.

3.4.2 Magnetic Amplifier

The magnetic amplifier forms the nucleus of the regulator circuit; It works on the principle of saturation of
magnetic core. The equipment has six sets of windings:
Two load windings: 18 - 162 & 17 – 161
Four control windings: 10 – 11, 26 – 27, 29 - 30 & 20 – 40
(Of these only 10-11 and 20-40 are used in the circuit. 10-11 for voltage and current control & 20-40 for gain
control).
The field current passes through the load windings of the magnetic amplifier. Subject to the command from
the voltage and current sensing circuits, manifested through the control winding 10-11, the load winding offers
variable impedance of the field circuit.
3.4.3 Field rectifier unit

The two silicon diodes D3, D4 acts as a full wave rectifier for the field supply. These diodes conduct
alternately. The rectified current from the diodes is taken through the feedback winding 20-40 of the
magnetic amplifier. Terminals 20 & 19 form the +ve & -ve terminals form the field assembly.
3.4.4 Free - Wheeling Diode

In the normal circumstances this diode D5 has no function. But should there be any reason for a surge from
the field circuit which will have a polarity opposite to that of excitation, this diode will conduct avoiding
creepage of the surge voltage to more important components like Magnetic Amplifier.
3.4.5 Rectifier Bridge

Each bridge RT1 & RT2 is made up of six silicon diodes, connected for three phase full wave rectification,
RT1 supplies the rectified voltage for voltage detector DT1 which is also the voltage developed by the
alternator, RT2 rectifies the three phase voltage developed at C.T secondary side and supplies to the voltage
detector DT2.
3.4.6 Voltage Detector DT1, DT2

These voltage detectors serve the function of providing necessary “error signal” for voltage regulation &
current limiting.
It consists of a network of zener diode, potential divider & rheostat. The voltage drop across resistance can
be adjusted by varying the resistances Rh1 & Rh2.
In the case of DT1 when the output voltage exceeds the voltage of the alternator the voltage drop across R1
will be sufficient to cause zener break down and this will send a current through the control winding 10-11 of
the magnetic amplifier.
Similarly, in the case of DT2, when the current reaches preset value the voltage induced in the secondary of
the current transformer after rectification by RT2 will be sufficient to cause conduction of the zener diode
and to produce the necessary error signal to magnetic amplifier for current control.
Zener diode has a characteristic that the diode starts conducting only at a designated voltage (zener voltage).
The voltage across the zener will be maintained even if the voltage input to the circuit is increased. Thus it
serves as base for comparison.
3.4.7 Blocking diodes

Diodes D1 & D2 are used to block the current from one zener to the other. Diode DI prevents creepage of
current from DT2 to DT1 and D2 prevents current from DT1 to DT2. This is achieved by the unidirectional
property of diodes.
3.4.8 Regulator failure relay

One number over voltage under voltage relay is provided to indicate the failure of the regulator. When
output terminal voltage of the regulator drop below the pre-set value the relay trips and indication lamp will
glow. And same in the case of over voltage.
3.4.9 Regulator failure indication lamp

One number indication lamp is provided to show the failure of the regulator. This is connected in series with
the battery and the contacts of the regulator failure relay.
4. WORKING OF REGULATOR
The three phase output from the alternator is rectified by the bridge connected silicon diodes. The DC
excitation to the field is obtained by full wave rectification of alternating current provided through the load
windings of the magnetic amplifier.
The voltage induced in the alternator winding depends on the speed of revolution of rotor and on the
excitation current. In the absence of voltage detector and magnetic amplifier, the voltage of the alternator
will rise indefinitely due to the positive feed back limited only by saturation of stator. But as soon as the
preset voltage is reached the zener diode in detector DT1 conducts and sends a control current through the
magnetic amplifier winding 10-11. The flux produced by the control current is in such a way that it opposes
the flux produced by the load windings, there by increasing the impedance of the field circuit. This increase
in field impedance reduces the field current and feed back the output voltage to the normal value required.
The current limiting is also achieved in a similar manner. When the pre-determined load current is delivered
by the alternator, the secondary voltage of the CT after rectification by bridge RT2 will provide the necessary
“error signal” for the magnetic amplifier. In this case also the voltage drop across the resistance will be
sufficient to cause the zener diode in DT2 to conduct. The control current from this also passes through the
same control winding 10-11. The effect of this control current is to retain the current at the limited value and
to reduce the voltage. For a sustained overload, the generator voltage will fall to the battery voltage &
relieve the alternator immediately, thereby reducing the chances of damage due to the load.
5. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
5.1 Alternator :
• Check the suspension and securing nut after every round trip.
• Inspect the terminal box for water tightness.
5.2 Regulator box

See that all securing fasteners are held properly
Keep the cover tightly closed.
Ingress of water and dust in the regulator box will damage the equipment beyond repair.
6. PERIODICAL OVERHAULING
6.1 Alternator
• Clean and regrease the bearing after removing the bearing from the bearing housing. The bearing
is designed for regreasing in workshops at long intervals of 5000 hours in operation. However, it
is recommended that during POH, the bearing should be regreased.
• Before using new grease the bearing should be thoroughly cleaned with white spirit. 24 gms. Of
lithon 2 should be used for refilling.
• The bearings should be changed, if it is found defective during inspection.
• Clean the mating surface of the end shield, before assembly the surface should be coated evenly with
gasket shellac.
• While removing and placing the rotor, care should be taken to see that the rotor does not rub over the field
coils.
• If any grease has crept into the stator surface clean it before assembly.
• If stator & rotor parts are found rusty, clean and slightly coat with Dr. Beck make E1mo65E/R insulating

varnish.
6.2 Regulator box

If no failure or defect has been observed, clean & tighten all components and ensure that all joints and connections
are properly tight.
7. REMOVAL OF ROTOR & BEARINGS
The following procedures should be adopted for dismantling alternator.

a. Remove the fan cover from one end after removing the M10 screws.
b. Using a box spanner of size 13 unscrew the two screws securing the screw locking washer.
If these screws have been locked by steel wires or by tack welding,

proceed only after removing the locking arrangement.
c. Remove flange from the shaft.

d. Bend back the SKF lock washer M8 12 from DE side
e. Remove lock nut SKF KM 12 from DE side.
f. Remove all the end shield fixing screws from NDE side.
g. Locate the two tapped holes on the endshield on NDE side along with the rotor and bearing on NDE
side and screw in two M I0 screws. The two screws should be turned in equally, as the screwing
progress the endshield comes out gradually along with the rotor bearings on NDE side. The endshield
and bearing on DE side remain and in its place.
h. Gently pull out the rotor from the stator. Care should be taken to see that the rotor does not pull over the
stator coils.
i. After removing the endshield fixing screws from NDE side, remove the end shield by screwing into
M10 screws in the tapped holes on the endshield.
j. The endshield on NDE side now lies along with the rotor. Bend back the lock washer M8 12 & remove
the locknut KM 12. Remove the bearing covers. Remove the spacer, pull out the end shield from the
shaft. The end shield comes out along with the bearing. (The inner race remains on the shaft).
k. The bearing can be removed from the end shield by gently pressing out, in a hydraulic press. The
pressure should be applied gradually.

l. The inner race can be removed by slightly heating the inner race by using an induction heater. The ring
comes out of the shaft on slight knocking.
8. ASSEMBLY
Assembly of the alternator can be proceeded on the reverse way with special care on the following points:
a. The inner race of the bearing should be heated in an oil bath at about 80 deg. C to 90 deg. C
before insertion on to the shaft.
b. The end shield should be heated in an electric oven to about 120 deg.C before locating the
bearing in it.
c. In order to seat the bearing properly internal bearing cover should be fixed on to the end shield before
heating the end shield.
d. Before inserting the bearing to the shaft, the internal bearing cover should be placed in its position.
e. If this is not done it is impossible to assemble the machine
f. Gasket shellac (Addison) should be applied evenly on all the mating surfaces of bearing cover and end
shield.
g. Take special care to see that the bearing comes on the terminal box side.
h. While removing and fixing the SKF lock nuts use a hook spanner. Never use any tools for this purpose
i. The cooled bearing put in back to back arrangement is placed inside the heated endshield and outside
bearing cover assembly. The whole thing is then inserted into the shaft, which will mate with inside
bearing cover.
9. DO’s AND DON’Ts FOR THE EQUIPMENT
A. ALTERNATOR
a. Open up the terminal box once in two weeks and clean up the dust if any accumulated in it.
b. Check up the tightness of connection once in two weeks.
c. Keep the terminal box tightly closed
d. Regreasing should be made after thoroughly cleaning the bearings with while spirit. It is preferable to
regrease the bearing only during POH.
e. Don’t overgrease the bearings.
f. The field connection on the alternator terminal box should not be reversed.
g. Use the cable sockets and cable glands for connections.
h. Never give separate excitation to the field. It will damage the regulator components.

Motor Overload Relays
It is used for protection of Traction Motor from current overloading.
The relay has two coils -
a) Operating Coil: It is single turn coil, which passes through the yoke of relay.
b) Resetting Coil: This coil is provided for resetting the overloaded relay to resume normal operation. This
coil is suitable for remote resetting operation.
The relay has six auxiliary contacts (3NO+3NC) for use in control & indication circuits. When the motor
current exceeds the value at which the relay is set to trip, the yoke gets magnetised, which pulls down the
armature of main coil. At the same time armature of reset coil is released and position of auxiliary contacts is
changed.
Thus the supply to E.P.Contactor coil, through auxiliary contacts of overload relay is cut off, which in turn
breaks the power circuit thus preventing the motor from overloading.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance Manual
CHAPTER X
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
ELECTRIC TRACTION EQUIPMENT must be reliable in order to avoid failures, traffic delays and loss
of revenue due to lack of public confidence. The equipment must also operate cheaply for economical
operation in service.
These requirements can only be fulfilled if preventive measures are taken, in the form of periodical
Service Maintenance and Overhaul, which must be thoroughly organised and meticulously and
conscientiously carried out at the times recommended in this Maintenance manual.
The intervals, at which Service Maintenance and Overhaul are carried out, are calculated on the basis of
either time or distance travelled and will depend upon the type of equipment, the nature of service, and
climatic conditions. In the case of diesel-electric equipment, the intervals may depend upon the number of
hours the engine runs.
If the weekly mileage is regular and approximately constant, a time-period basis of maintenance is
probably more satisfactory; but if the weekly, monthly or seasonal mileage is subject to wide variations,
the use of the time period basis would introduce differences in the distance travelled, in which case the
distance basis of maintenance would be preferable.
1.1 Service Maintenance
This is carried out on a regular basis in order to maintain the equipment in sound condition and to prevent
service failures. If maintenance is carried out efficiently at the established periods, the equipment will
operate reliably between overhauls.

Maintenance is usually carried out in the running shed and comprises examination, cleaning, lubrication,
any necessary adjustments for wear, and changing worn consumable parts such as carbon brushes,
contacts, arc chutes etc. fitting new or re-conditioned parts.
Consumable part must not be allowed to wear beyond the specified minimum dimensions. If it is
estimated that a part will become fully worn before the next maintenance occasion, it must be replaced by
a new or reconditioned part. In addition, a sufficient margin for wear should be allowed in case a normal
maintenance occasion is missed, due to the hazards of severe weather or other unusual traffic conditions.
The intervals at which the various maintenance operations are carried out can only be determined by
observation and experience. At first, the intervals should be about one week or 3200 km, and they should
be lengthened gradually as experience is gained without, of course, endangering the reliability of the
equipment. Eventually, when the maximum intervals have been established, they should, if possible, be
arranged to fit the occasions when the vehicle visits the running shed for maintenance of the mechanical
parts of the vehicle.
1.2 Overhaul
This is carried out in the workshop, and comprises repairing and reconditioning the equipment; that is,
dismantling, replacing worn or defective parts by new or reconditioned components, re-assembling the
equipment and testing it for correct operation.
The periods between overhauls are best determined by withdrawing the equipment for service after a
period of two years or 160,000 km, and subjecting it to a detailed examination, which will also necessitate
a certain amount of dismantling. If it is found that the equipment has not reached the Overhaul state, it
should then be returned to service.
In general, periods between overhaul should not be less than three years. These periods are, however,
capable of being extended to five years or more provided.
a) Modern high-grade lubricants are used.

b) Maintenance is efficiently carried out.
c) Thorough attention is given to cleanliness.

Experience on many railways, in different parts of the world, has shown that more frequent maintenance
and overhaul are necessary for the mechanical parts of the vehicle than for the electrical equipment. As
the program for the electrical work must be built up gradually, and the periods extended as experience is
gained, every endeavour should be made to fit the electrical program into the mechanical program, in
order to minimise the time that the vehicle is out of service.
1.3 Records
Accurate records should be kept of the maintenance and overhaul work carried out in order to determine
the amount by which the Maintenance and Overhaul periods may be extended. "Cardex" is a suitable
system for this purpose, and it would contain card for each of the items on which records are to be kept,
for example, armatures, machine stators, gears, pinions pantograph wearing-strips (if fitted), cleaning
filters and radiators, etc.
2. CLEANLINESS
Cleanliness is essential to good maintenance and trouble-free service, and the work of cleaning must be
thoroughly carried out at the established intervals.
Metallic dust from the wheels and brake shoes is detrimental to equipment and, if the dust is allowed to lie
on insulation surfaces or to penetrate coils, it can cause electrical failure.
This dust, when dry, is usually easy to remove, but if it becomes bound with water or oil, its removal is
more difficult. Operators must, therefore, avoid leaving deposits, which have this binding action.
The degree of cleanliness, which can be maintained, depends to a large extent on the location of the
equipment and whether it is totally enclosed, ventilated, or outside-mounted.
When no ventilation is required because the production of heat is low, apparatus is enclosed in dust-proof
cases, compartments or cupboards; ensure that the rubber or felt jointing of the covers or doors is
maintained in good condition.
Ensure that the devices for keeping covers and doors closed are also well maintained and lubricated when
necessary.
Compartments, which cannot be seated easily, for example when they are provided with sliding doors, are
sometimes pressurised with filtered air. When this is the case, it is important to ensure that any failure of
air supply is restored without delay, and the filter is cleaned regularly, or changed when necessary.
Although the frequency of cleaning totally enclosed apparatus is much less than that required for
ventilated or roof-mounted apparatus, it must not be neglected if failure is to be avoided.

Apparatus such as resistors and rectifiers, etc., which have to dissipate heat to avoid excessive
temperature, are either free-ventilated or force-ventilated with unfiltered air and require frequent cleaning,
as they readily become contaminated with dirt and brake shoe dust.
On electric vehicles on which roof-mounted apparatus is fitted, there are large porcelain insulators, which
may collect much falling dirt and therefore must be kept clean. Rubber hose for the pantograph air supply
must also be cleaned and kept free of oil and grease. Examine all roof equipment and check for
mechanical damage; remove any debris that may have lodged on the roof.
3. LUBRICATION
In general, lubricants should be used sparingly to avoid contaminating insulation and other parts of
apparatus. Clean the electrical sliding contacts of knife switches, drum switches and reversing switches
etc., periodically, then lightly smear them with 4 x grease ( supplied by Dow Corning, USA)
Pivots for contactors and hinged contact fingers, etc., are lubricated during assembly, chiefly as rust
inhibitor prior to being placed in service. Do not add lubricant at periodical maintenance because the
pivots have an extremely long life, even when operating dry, and if lubricants were added it would tend to
contaminate other parts of the apparatus, thus forming a dirt-collecting surface. Lubricate pivots only at
overhaul with grade SAE 30 oil.
Lubricate cylinders, piston, rods, sliding parts and solid (no oil-impregnated) rollers, etc., periodically
with grade SAE 30 oil.
Do not add grease to ball bearing between overhauls, unless otherwise specified in this manual; clean and
re-pack them at overhaul with Shell Alvania 3 or other approved grease. Also use this grease for smearing
the teeth of racks and pinions, and for lubricating sleeve-bearings.
Lubricate oil-impregnated rollers and bearing bushes with grade SAE 30 oil only an overhaul.
Lubricate the hinges on pantograph current-collectors with no-water-soluble grease or oil.
The foregoing information is given as a guide, and it is recommended that operators discuss with an oil
company's local representative, the lubricants best suited to the particular climatic conditions under which
the equipment will operate.
4. TIGHTNESS OF BOLTS SCREWS AND NUTS

It is essential that all bolts, screws and nuts are kept tight, because any loosening can cause failure of the
vehicle as well as damage to adjacent or associated apparatus. There is also the possibility of fire being
caused by arcing at loose terminals.
Suitable locking devices are provided in the form of high grade spring locking-washers, locking plates,
grub screws or prick-punching etc., and when dismantling take place these locking devices must be
replaced by devices of the same grade of material and in the same form as originally supplied.
Contactor contacts, which are subjected to repeated impacts, connections, which are subjected to severe
heating cycles such as those, associated with resistors, and the smaller sizes of cable terminals, are items
which are most liable to loosen.
Before the equipment enters service, carefully check every electrical connection and contact. Repeat this
check after a week and then every three months for the first twelve month's operation. If at the end of
twelve months, no further loosening is detected, it can be assumed that all connections will maintain their
tightness for an indefinite period and the checking may be discontinued.
The reason why certain contacts and connections become loose is due to the copper deforming slightly
when under pressure, and the repeated tightening causes it to become compacted and work hardened.
5. ELECTRICAL INSULATION
Insulation can fail either by puncture through the body to the material, or by surface breakdown.
Puncture depends upon the quality and thickness of the material and the voltage across it. It follows,
therefore, that if insulating material has suffered damage, it must only be replaced by material of the
original thickness and quality.
Surface breakdown depends upon the quality of the surface of the material, its cleanliness and freedom
from moisture, the surface length, and the voltage across it.
If the surface is contaminated by dirt and/or moisture it becomes slightly conducting and a minute current
will flow along a very narrow track. This current will produce heat along the track, which may cause the
dirt and/or the surface of the insulation to carbonise and the "tracking" current to increase. The action
then becomes cumulative and if the surface is not cleaned, a flashover of power current will occur sooner
or later.

The insulation surface between two points at different voltage level is known as the "creepage distance"
while "tracking" is the term applied to the visible evidence of the passage of minute currents along
irregular tracks on the insulation surface.
The top surface of horizontal insulation is, of course, mere prone to contamination by dirt and moisture
and requires more frequent cleaning than vertical surfaces.
When an insulation surface becomes damaged by tracking or has deteriorated with age, it can be
reconditioned by painting it with good anti-tracking enamel. Such as grey insulating enamel which can be
supplied by brush and which is air-drying.
When apparatus is being overhauled, take the opportunity to recondition the insulation surface, if this
appears to be necessary. If porcelain insulation suffers surface damage, fit new porcelain; however, the
surface of Mycalex insulation or resin-bonded asbestos can be reconditioned by cleaning it with fine glass
paper.
Porcelain insulators which are exposed to the weather may become encrusted with a hard surface of
carbon, copper and brake-shoe dust, etc., which is difficult to remove. By coating the surface with
Metroarc-17 or Silicone-110 grease, the contaminants may be removed easily at suitable grease intervals;
re-grease the porcelain insulators after cleaning. First, apply the grease thinly on the hands, then run the
hands lightly over the porcelain surface.
6. ARC CHUTES
The arc-chute walls, especially the area adjacent to the contact tips, will exhibit charring and soot from the
arc, and splatter from the contacts dependent on the severity and duration of the arc. Maintenance work is
rarely necessary but it is important to examine the arc chute interior for unusual charring or an unusual
extent or copper splatter on the arc horns or splatters which would indicate a fault on the Contactor or its
associated equipment.
If an arc chute is removed for inspection, always refit it in its original position so that the pattern of its
characteristic wear can continue. To achieve this, mark each arc chute to correspond with its Contactor.
When an arc chute has reached its safe limit to working life on a heavy-duty Contactor it may be
economic to extend its life by interchanging it with the chute from a lightly loaded Contactor.
Record any such interchanges so that the equipment inspectors understand the reason for wear on the
lightly loaded Contactor, the arc chute of which may normally remain almost as new.

After fitting an arc chute and during any inspection of arc chutes, ensure that the chute is securely in
position and, PROVIDED THAT THE CONTACTOR IS NOT LIVE, manually operate the Contactor and
observe that the moving contact does not foul the chute.
Ensure that spare arc chutes are always available in the running sheds, safely stacked and kept clean and
dry, to enable any damaged or badly-eroded chute to be changed quickly.
Overhaul
Asbestos develops a skin, which would not be disturbed by rough filing. Use a fine file or glass paper to
remove loose dirt and any copper globules, which may foul the moving contact.
Since un-weathered asbestos is hygroscopic, new or freshly repaired arc chutes should be kept warm and
dry. Wet arc chutes can cause low readings of insulation resistance on the power circuits.
Mycalex is not hygroscopic and the surface can be reconditioned by rough filing, if necessary.
Examine the arc chute mounting arrangement. Recondition Starting threads on mounting blocks and
screws.
Examine the arc-chute interior for signs of rubbing or transferred paint due to fouling by the piston
insulator or the blow cut coil.
Erosion in the form of creators in the side plates, and gutters in the top and bottom spreaders can often be
repaired with an arc-resisting cement provided that the erosion has not penetrated too deeply. Clean
thoroughly with glass paper the part to be cemented. The cement can then be applied with a knife and the
repair dried in an oven or air dried before the chute is used again.
Scrape any soot from the joints between side plates, splitters and spreaders and look for penetration by the
arc in to the joint. Fill any such penetration with arc-resisting cement. Use this cement to coat the joints
during re-assembly of any arc chute components, which are prone to severe penetration.
Ensure that any copper inserts in the arc-chute body are securely fixed.
Ensure that incorrect re-assembly does not allow the arc to strike any fixings, especially which pass
through the arc chute.
7. ARCING HORNS
Contactors with un-swept top arcing horns depend upon a good fit between the horn and the chute to
produce a gas proof joint for the protection of the blow-out coil; this close fit must be preserved when a
new arc chute or horn is fitted. This fit should be equivalent to a clearance not greater than 0.25 mm
between horn and chute.
When arcing horns become badly eroded at their tips and become appreciably shortened, fit new horns.
When unswept top arcing-horns become eroded to half their original thickness, fit new horns.
8. CONTACTS
Copper and silver are in general use as contact materials. Although the resistance values are similar, silver
is an inferior arcing material due to its rapid erosion and is used only for low-voltage control-circuits with
light arcing duty and for heavy-current contacts with no arcing duty.
Silver forms on its surface a low-resistance sulphide, which is brown to black in colour, and need not be
disturbed.
Copper forms an oxide, dark in colour, which has a high resistance. This would cause overheating if it
were left on a contact face.
For Contactors (which interrupt current frequently as distinct from a switch or an isolator) copper is used.
Each contact is formed in the shape of a foot with a distinct heel and toe and the moving contact is spring-
mounted on a pivot. As the Contactor closes, initial contact is made at the toes of the contacts and, as
closure proceeds, the moving contact rolls and slides over the fixed contact until final contact is made at
the heels. The action is reversed when the Contactor opens; the area of contact travels to the toes where
the contacts separate, so that the arcing when current is broken has its roots at the toes of the contacts. By
this means, the transfer of current can take place across well-mated surfaces free from arcing. The action
of the moving contact is termed KNUCKLING and is a combined rolling-and-sliding motion.
Copper contacts for light-duty contactors and for switches do not always have a distinct toe and heel with
a knuckling action, but they are always given a sliding action or WIPE, which promotes a self cleaning
action of any copper oxide that may have formed.
In general, silver contacts close with a simple butting action and such contacts are termed BUTT contacts.
The term OVER-TRAVEL is used for both wiped and butt contacts with reference to some particular
point on the moving contact or its carrier and denotes the distance that this point would travel after making

initial contact if the fixed contact were then removed. It is therefore an indication of the amount the
contacts can wear before effective contact fails.
In some applications, a Contactor may combine the properties of copper and silver by having a pair of
copper contacts with silver inserts at the current-carrying areas. On other contactors, separate pairs of
contacts in parallel are used, one pair of copper and one pair of silver, with the silver, contacts closed only
in the fully-closed position of the contractor and the copper contacts making and breaking the current.
DO NOT USE EMERY OR GLASS PAPER to clean contacts, as particles of these materials, which
might adhere to the surfaces, would cause faulty contacts.
DO NOT USE WIRE WOOL to clean contacts or any other electrical apparatus.
When contact tips are being fitted, tighten them lightly, and then finally tighten them with the Contactor
energised or firmly held in its closed position. This will give the best possible bedding of the contacts.
Some contact carriers have a ledge on which the contact locates, so that no movement can take place
during the repeated closing of the Contactor and such contacts must be seated fully with the fixing screw
and tightened before finally tightening with the Contactor fully closed.
On a rebuilt Contactor, the fixed-contact holder may be askew, thus preventing good bedding of the
contacts. Correct the contact holder by slackening its fixings, then tightening with the Contactor closed.
If the contact tips are discoloured by overheating, examine them for dirt or a coating of copper oxide on
both the front and rear conducting surfaces; check also the tightness and bedding of the contacts with each
other and with their holders. Overheating may also be caused by low contact-pressure due to worn
contacts, lack of overtravel, or a weak knuckling-spring.
Examine knuckling or contact springs periodically to ensure that no stiffness has developed in the hinge,
and that the spring has not weakened. An experienced inspector will quickly discover any abnormality of
the hinge or the spring pressure by manipulating the device.
Fit new contacts in place, if any, which have worn to half their original thickness of copper or silver.
Always fit new contacts in pairs since it is not practical to bed a new contact with a worn one. Except on
small contactors and auxiliary contacts hand filing of badly worn contacts to produce a true surface
capable of being correctly mated, is a highly-skilled operation and is rarely successful. If it is attempted,
the filing should be carried out with the contacts in a vice so that pivots or pistons are not stressed, and no
metal particles fall on the apparatus.

Transference of metal from one contact to the other occasionally occurs in inductive circuits. When this
occurs, file the contacts to their normal contour in a vice, or if the transference is appreciable, fit new
contacts.
Restrict filing in position to a fine file to remove copper oxide and small high spots on current-carrying
surfaces, also to remove copper beads from contact edges and arc-rupturing areas, since these may foul the
arc chute or may eventually drop into the moving parts of the contactor.
Copper contacts
After a few weeks in service, the appearance of the contacts will indicate where the interruption is taking
place by a rough copper surface and where current carrying takes place by bright copper areas. A dull
surface indicates where the contacts are not mating; such a surface on the heel of a contact would indicate
that the knuckling action is incomplete or that the contacts are misaligned.
A regular inspector will appreciate the condition to be expected from the contacts. Since each pair will
develop contact wear and copper splatter on the arc horns and arc chutes characteristic of its position in
the circuit. As a guide to the amount of wear to expect, the inspector should at first learn whether each
pair of contacts breaks or makes current or both or is simply used for isolation. Note that the contact wear
on some contactors with light duty or infrequent heavy duty under fault conditions, may be largely due to
mechanical hammering and knuckling. The inspector should be able to recognise unusual wear, which
may indicate a fault on the contactor or on its associated equipment.
Current-carrying areas which have a bright appearance, but which have become rough and pitted, indicate
good contact and need not be disturbed.
Silver Contacts
In normal operation only a visual inspection is necessary between overhauls.

On control circuits with inductance, arcing will cause a transfer of metal, but the resulting pip and trough
will not normally warrant attention until the overhaul stage. When appreciable erosion has occurred,
smooth the surfaces with a fine file and readjust the contact gap and overtravel.
The contact pressure of control and auxiliary contacts are not critical, but it is necessary to ensure that they
have adequate overtravel, so that they will be effective even after some wear has taken place.
On power circuits, there will be no arcing unless there is fault condition.
9. PNEUMATIC PISTONS AND CYLINDERS
9.1 Lubrication
Lubricate the cylinders and piston rods of E.P. Contactors periodically with grade SAE 30 oil, otherwise
their operation will become sluggish, and this will be detrimental to the general operation of the
equipment, particularly to rupture the arc. Lack of lubricant will also cause rapid wear of the cylinder
wall, piston rod and guide.
In order to lubricate the piston rod of an E.P. Contactor, raise the piston in its cylinder (by pressing the
magnet valve button) and add a small quantity of oil to the countersink which surrounds the rod at the top
of the cylinder to lubricate the cylinder, inject a small quantity of oil through the special oil-hole in the
cylinder wall.
E.P.Contactors with horizontally disposed cylinders do not require the piston rod to be lubricated, because
the rod passes through a clearance hole in the end of the cylinder.
Lubricate the cylinders of reversing switches and change over switches with grade SAE 30 oil, through
nipples provided in the cylinder walls. Before adding the lubricant , ensure that the piston is coincident
with its nipple. When one piston has been lubricated, move the piston assembly to the other end of its
stroke (by pressing the relevant magnet-valve button).
Before refitting a piston in to its cylinder, smear the cylinder wall thoroughly with oil.
Lubricate the rack, pinions and levers of reversing switches and changeover switches with Shell Alvania 3
or 4x grease.
9.2 Dismantling and assembling
Cylinder walls have a very fine and smooth finish to avoid wearing out the rubber piston seal. Great care
must be taken, therefore, to ensure that the surface is not damaged.
When dismantling the pistons of pneumatic contactors, it should be borne in mind that the return spring is
under compression. When the nut holding the piston to the rod is released, it will tend to fly out of the
cylinder and might be damaged or cause damage to neighbouring apparatus or injury to personnel.

Carefully examine rubber seals at over haul; fit new seals if appreciable wear is evident. Seals are slightly
elastic and must be stretched and forced over the lip on the piston in to the groove.
When fitting a piston rod, anneal the copper washer seal in order to ensure an airtight joint, when refitting
a cylinder cover, use a new jointing gasket because the existing gasket is invariably damaged during the
removal of the cover, and pieces of the old gasket adhere to the cylinder and cover. Ensure that all traces
of the old gasket are removed before fitting the new gasket.
Pneumatic cylinders for contactors are sometimes provided with a loose tube on the piston rod which acts
as a piston stop to protect the return spring against over-compression. During re-assembly work, this tube
must not be omitted.
10. RESISTORS
• The following types of resistor are most commonly used on traction equipment
• Expanded metal or metal strip wound on edge
• Wire wound, mica insulated metal tubes
• Vitreous enamelled, wire wound, porcelain tubes
• Flat, wire or metal tape wound mica elements
Maintenance
• Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.

• Ensure that all connections, tapping and terminals are secure and in good condition.
• Inspect resistors for damage and overheating; if necessary fit new units.
• Examine insulators and supports, remove cracked or chipped insulators and fit new ones.
• Wipe insulators with clean, dry cloth-Blow-out resistor banks with dry compressed air.
Overhaul
• Repeat maintenance.

• Re-varnish insulation surfaces, other than porcelain.

• Clean metal support frames and covers, repaint if necessary
• Check resistance values to figures given "Data for Control Apparatus".

A1.3 Installation, Maintenance and Servicing
A1.3.1 Transport and storage
Care should be taken on the following points:

1. The shafts should be transported in horizontal position. For vertical transportation an
additional protection must be provided in order to avoid the shaft coming apart. The sleeve
yoke plug and the dust cap of the spline seal must not be loaded by the weight of the
propeller shaft.
2. Shocks and bumps must be avoided during transport.
3. The shafts should be stored side by side on wooden frames and the flange yokes should be
supported loosely, as shown

CARDAN SHAFT
4. Balance weight strips wherever fitted on the shaft tube should not be removed. Removal will
create unbalance which will cause uneven running and premature wear of the propeller shaft
joints and the bearings of the connected units.
A1.3.2 Installation
For satisfactory operation, the driving shaft and the driven shaft should be coplanar and the
propeller shaft should be installed either as per arrangement 1 or 2 shown below:
The flanges of the propeller shaft and that of companion flange (propeller shaft mating part
fitted on the driving/driven shaft) should be free of dirt, grease, paint, anti-rust compound, burrs,
etc., This is important as torque is transmitted through friction between flanges. For the same
reason only the bolts and nuts recommended, same to be torque tightened.
The spigot bore/dia of companion flange should be concentric with driving/driven shaft on
which it is fitted and its flange face should be square to driving/driven shaft to ensure true
running of propeller shaft.
The mounting bold should be steadily tightened with a torque wrench in a crosswise pattern to
torque values indicated.
While using fixed length propeller shaft and universal joint (types J & L) at least one of the
units to be connected should be capable of axial movement and subsequent bolting down as the
propeller shaft/universal joint has to be fitted over the flange spigot dia/bore.

CARDAN SHAFT
Important: The propeller shaft/universal joint is to be is to be greased at points 1,2 and 3 before
installation.
A1.3.3 Maintenance
Maintenance should be carried out at regular intervals and it is advisable to do-ordinate this with
the maintenance work of the other items of machinery/installation. The maintenance intervals
mentioned herein are only for guidance. The actual frequency will depend on working
conditions.
1. Noise testing: continuously, any deviation from normal working noise should be located
and corrected immediately.
2. Checking of Flange bolts: periodically the bolts should be checked for tightness and
tightened whenever necessary.
3. Lubrication: propeller shafts should be periodically greased with lithium based grease only.
This should be acid and soap free, as the former causes corrosion and the latter clogs the
passages. Recommended grease are given in separate table. The propeller shaft should be
greased at three points, where the grease nipples are provided. Greasing of joints to be done
till the grease comes out through the seals, and for sleeve yoke till the grease flows out
through the vent holes on the sleeve yoke plug.

A1.3.4 Servicing
A1.3.4.1 Dis-assembly of propeller shaft

Remove the dust cap, pull back the cork washer & steel washer and pull off the sliding joint
from the shaft. (Flange yoke to sleeve yoke)
Disassembly of the universal joint

(Snap ring type : 0400 to 1510 series)
1. Clean enamel / paint from snap rings and top of bearing cups. Remove snap rings by pinching
their ears together with a pair of pliers and rising with a screw driver. If ring does not snap out of
the groove readily, tap end of bearing race lightly to relieve the pressure against the ring. Support
sleeve yoke lug on a wooden block and tap yoke ears with a soft hammer.
1. Now the bearing cup should begin to emerge. Turn the joint and finally remove the bearing
cup with fingers. Care should be taken to avoid any of needle rollers being dropped.
2. Similarly remove the opposite bearing cup also. If necessary tap bearing cup from inside
with a small dia bar, taking care not to damage the bearing cups / journal.
3. Now the sleeve yoke can be removed, rest the two exposed trunnions on wooden blocks to
avoid damage. By tapping the yoke ears lightly with a soft hammer and following the above
procedure, remove the other two bearing cups.
4. On the same lines dis-assemble the fixed joint (stub ball yoke side) also.
A1.3.4.1.1 Examination and check for wear

The parts most likely to show signs of wear after long usage are bearing cups and journals. Should
looseness in the fit of these parts, load markings or distortion be observed they should be renewed
complete as a unit, because worn needle bearings used with a new journal, or new needle bearings
used with a worn journal, will wear more rapidly, making another replacement necessary in a short
time.
CARDAN SHAFT
It is essential that bearing cups are a light drive fit in the yoke trunion
In the rare event of wear having taken place in the yoke cross holes, the holes will most certainly be
oval and the yokes must be replaced.
In the case of wear of the cross holes in stub ball yoke, which is welded onto tube, only in cases of
emergency should this stub ball yoke be replaced. Normally stub ball yoke along with tube and slip
stub shaft should be replaced as one unit.
The other parts likely to show signs of wear are the splined sleeve yoke, or slip stub shaft. a total of
0.004” (0.1mm) circumferential movement, measure on the outside diameter of the spline, should
not be exceeded. Should the slip stub shaft require renewing, this must be dealt with in the same
way as the stub ball yoke.
A1.3.4.2 Re-assembly
1. Assemble needle rollers in the bearing cups. Should any difficulty be encountered while
assembling needle rollers in the bearing cup, smear the wall of the cup with grease. It is
advisable to install new gaskets and gasket retainers on the journal or spider assembly. It is
also useful to have snap rings available as replacements in the even of damaging a ring
whilst dis-assembling the joint.
2. See that all drilled holes in journals are cleaned out and filled with grease, with the rollers in
position fill the races about one-third full with grease.
3. Insert journal in yoke holes and using a soft round drift with flat face about 1/32” (0.8mm)
smaller in diameter than the hole in the yoke, tap the bearing cup into position. Repeat this
operation for the other three bearing cups. Fit snap rings or bearing caps, bearing cap
screws, locking plate etc., with the bearing cap type make sure that bearing cups are placed
with the slot in the top of the cup in line with bearing cap screw holes, so that they are
prevented from rotating by the key in the bearing cap. If joint appears to bind, tap lightly
with a wooden mallet, which will relieve any pressure of the bearings on the end of the
journal. When refitting a sliding joint on shaft, be sure that trunnions in sliding and fixed
yoke are in line. Observing that arrows marked on splined sleeve yoke and slip stub/tube are
in line can check this.
