Diesel-Loco Layout(Electrical)

S.K.Sinha

What is a Diesel Loco-

• A diesel loco essentially consists of a diesel engine which converts heat energy into mechanical energy for the movement of the loco.

• The above mechanical energy is transmitted to the axles of the loco through some hydraulic or electric means. (Called Hydraulic or Electrical Transmission)

[ Engine- Hydraulic or electrical transmission system-Axles]

• Today, Electrical Transmission is more prevalent .

There are three types of Electrical transmissions

[ Engine- Generator-TM -Axles]

• DC-DC

• AC-DC

• AC-AC

Dynamic Braking Grid Blower1.It is a DC motor located in nose compartment2. .Its function is to cool dynamic grids during dynamic braking. These grids get heated up when current passes in these grids during braking3..The Blowers supply sufficient air for cooling the grids upwards direction and hot air will be exhausted through the louvers.

CAB Room Component

A. Master controller.-

It is manually operated cam actuated, multiple contact switches for closing, opening or holding circuits in a sequence. The controller has the handles.i,e Throttle handle, Reverser handle, Selector handle.

1.Reverser Handle-Reverser has three positions FORWARD ,OFF &REVERSE for selecting the desired direction. RH can be moved only when TH is in IDLE position and OFF or NO 1.motoring position. RH can be installed or removed only when in OFF position

.

3.Selector handle:-It has ‘’OFF’’ position with “MOTORING’’ position to the left & ‘’BREAKING.’’ to the right.

2.Throttle handle: -This handle utilized to control speed of engine. It has an IDLE position or “O” and eight. running notches

Important RelaysControl Compartment (Front View)

SR(SIGNAL RELAY)-This relay gets energized in event of safety devices and operates the Alarm Gong for providing Audio Signal.

DMR(Demagnetising relay/Dead’s men relay)-This relay gets operated after MCB are put on.If there is a train parting or chain pulling ,DMR gets de energized through PCS and bring the engine toIDLE,irrespective to TH positions.

Control Stand Component

LOAD METER-1.It is a colour band device to be used as guide for correct loco operations.2.The pointer on the colour band indicates the relative amount of tractive effort being developed by the loco.and load current on the TMs3.The green zone represents normal operating current& conditions. In this zone ,operating time is unrestricted 4.The yellow zone indicates short time capacity of TM.The indicated marks on yellow zone indicate the maximum time allowed.The max time allowed in the yellow zone,is 50 minutes.
