1. Introduction

WDP4D Diesel Electric locomotive of Indian Railways are driven by 3-phase AC Traction Motors, employing AC-DC-AC power transmission system. Medha Servo Drives Pvt. Ltd. has designed and developed the AC-AC traction system type MAS 696D suitable to the above locomotives delivering up to 4500 HP. Diesel Engine drives the main generator assembly. The main generator assembly has two Alternators which are Traction Alternator (MAIN ALT.) and Companion Alternator. The main alternator converts the Diesel Engine mechanical power into 3-Ø AC electrical power. The Alternator two winding (left bank and right bank) outputs are connected to two air cooled Rectifier Assemblies consists of high voltage, high current Silicon diodes with fuses in 3-Ø Full Wave Rectifier circuit which are internal parts of TA-17-CA-6B of main generator assembly. The 3-Ø AC power is converted into DC power by Rectifier Assembly. The two rectifier outputs are connected in series across the DC LINK. Rectified DC power supply is applied to DC LINK. When DCL switch gears are close, the DC voltage applied to IGBT based Traction Inverters. Each Traction Inverter has separate control module in the Traction Computer. The Traction Computer monitors Traction Motor speed, Temperature, Voltage and Current feedbacks for controlling the IGBTs to maintain required Torques according to command received from Locomotive Control Computer. Traction inverters main role is to control the 3-Ø induction motors. Traction Inverters convert the DC power into 3-Ø AC power of variable voltage, variable frequency using IGBT based technology. In TCC, six DC Link switch gears

Page 10: Hand Book On Dual Cab (WDP4D) Locomotives (Medha Make Traction System)rdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/Handbook on WDP4D... · (Govt. of India) (Ministry of Railways)

IRCAMTECH/M/GWL/Dual cab 10 are provided to provide DC power to six Traction Inverters, which are controlled by Locomotive Control Computer (LCC) as shown in figure. Traction Control cabinet consists of six Traction Computers, six DCL switch gears, six IGBT based Inverters, DC link capacitors, Brake Chopper and Crow bar circuit. Based on the inputs received from Locomotive Computer and analog feedback from traction motors, the Traction inverter converts the DC power into 3-Ø AC power for the Traction motors. LCC receives the operator request as digital inputs and analog signals from different sensors and sends request to the Traction computer for converting required amount of power during Motoring and Dynamic Braking modes. The term TCC refers to an Electrical device that converts DC power into 3-Ø AC power during Monitoring and 3-Ø AC power in to DC power during Dynamic Brake.

Fig: Block Diagram of Locomotive Control System Traction Motors are 3-Ø AC Induction Motors. 3-Ø AC power from Inverters are fed to the Traction Motors which

Page 11: Hand Book On Dual Cab (WDP4D) Locomotives (Medha Make Traction System)rdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/Handbook on WDP4D... · (Govt. of India) (Ministry of Railways)

IRCAMTECH/M/GWL/Dual cab 11 are mounted on the Trucks, each Traction Motor geared with a pair of wheels with the gear ratio 17:90 (MAC loco) for Goods service and 17:77 (PAC loco) for passenger service. The Traction Motors convert the electrical power into mechanical power to move locomotive.

1.1 Auxiliary Generator:- Auxiliary Generator is driven by the Diesel Engine gear train at three times of engine speed. Its field winding current is controlled by LCC through AG PWM module. AC power from Auxiliary Generator is supplied to an external 3-Ø Full Wave Rectifier i.e., Battery Charging assembly, the Battery Charging assembly is converted to 74V DC power for Companion Alternator field, control system operation and Locomotive Battery charging. The Auxiliary Generator also supplies 74V DC power for Fuel Pump Motor, Turbo lube oil Pump circuits, Locomotive lighting and other miscellaneous equipments.

1.2 Companion Alternator

Companion Alternator is directly coupled to Traction Alternator within the main generator housing. Companion Alternator is physically connected but Electrically independent of the Traction Alternator. Companion Alternator consists of 16 field poles on the same rotor back to main generator field poles. The rotating CA field poles receive low voltage current from Auxiliary Generator through a pair of slip rings adjacent to the Main Alternator slip rings. CA produces 3-Ø, 45V - 230V AC supply to excite Main Alternator field through SCR assembly and power is fed to the Radiator Fans 1&2, Inertial Blower motor, Traction Inverter Blowers.

1.3 Alerter / VCD System

Page 12: Hand Book On Dual Cab (WDP4D) Locomotives (Medha Make Traction System)rdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/Handbook on WDP4D... · (Govt. of India) (Ministry of Railways)

IRCAMTECH/M/GWL/Dual cab 12

The Alerter indicator light is mounted on the control console in both the cabs. Alerter reset push button is mounted on the control console desktop surface in both the Cabs. The Audible Alarm is mounted on both ECC#1 and ECC#4 Engine control panels. Alerter system is enabled/disabled through TFT Display Unit menu selection. When locomotive brakes are released, the Alerter system requests an acknowledgment from the operator time to time. If acknowledgment is not received from Active Cab within 60 seconds, the Locomotive Control Computer drives a Digital Output DOP 43 ALT LT to flash the Alerter light for 8 seconds in both the cabs. After lapse of 8 seconds, it drives one more Digital Output DOP 44 ALT BEL to provide an audio alarm sounds for 8 seconds. If still the Alerter request is not acknowledged, while the Alerter light flashes or Alerter alarm sounds, the alarm stops sounding and penalty brakes are applied for 34 seconds or until Locomotives speed drops to zero, which ever occurs later. Then the penalty brake application must be reset before resuming normal operation of train.

One must follow Railway rules and operating practices regarding use of Alerter Equipment. Pressing either Alerter reset button from Active Cab while the Alerter light is flashing or the Alerter Alarm is sounding, resets the acknowledgment request timing cycles. Usage of Automatic Brake handle resets the timing cycle. In addition, movement of the Throttle Handle, Independent Brake handle or Dynamic Brake handle also resets the timing cycle as well as pressing the HORN or SAND button.

1.4 Auto Emergency Brake System

IRCAMTECH/M/GWL/Dual cab 13

While traveling through a terrain with a considerable large down-gradient, speed of the train needs to be kept under control. The AEB system does not allow to enter in uncontrollable speed zone. Indian Railways have studied and defined optimum speeds for every section. There is always a chance that a manually controlled locomotive may exceed the section speed limit. This in turn may cause for major accidents / loss / damage. To avoid this, Indian Railways incorporated a system is called "Auto Emergency Brake System" which by default initiates braking in the event of train / loco crossing the permissible set speed. The system developed by M/S Medha Servo Drives Pvt Ltd. has the AEB feature implemented on WDP4D locomotives. This feature can be enabled or disabled through switch on the ECC#1 Engine Control Panel in Cab-1 and ECC#4 Engine Control Panel in Cab-2.

1.5 Blended Brake System MAS696D system locomotives are equipped with Blended Brake feature. It simultaneously applies Dynamic Braking and Air Braking, when the loco pilot operates the Automatic Air brake handle in the service zone. The KNORR CCB Air Brake system controls the Air brake on the locomotives and cars coupled in train, and request some amount of Dynamic Braking from LCC for blended brake operation. This feature can be disabled or enabled in both CABs through Blended Brake Cutout slide switch which is provided on Engine Control panel.

1.6 Manual TE Limiting To avoid stress on weak bridges, when locomotive is traversing them, a manual TE Limiting option is developed to enable the operator to limit the Tractive Effort through switch mounted on Engine control panel. The position of the switch indicates to Railroad personnel

that the feature has been turned ON. active. The tractive effort limit may be imposed by train line input from another locomotive equipped with this feature via the TEL relay. Manual TE Limit switch is provided in both the Cabs on Engine Control Panel.

1.7 Auto Flasher

Auto flasher lights are applied automatically whenever Emergency / Penalty brake application taken place, as indicated by the 'Loss of PCS' through the PCR relay dropping by Computer Controlled Brake (CCB) system. The flasher can still be turned ON manually so that if the operator has an emergency, that did not drop PCS.

The operation of the throttle is normal, but the brakes are controlled from the lead locomotive. An Emergency Air Brake application may be made however, from the Automatic Brake Valve of the second unit. Also, the Automatic Brake on this locomotive may be released by pulling up Bail-off release ring on the Independent Brake Handle, while Automatic and Independent Brake handles are set in REL (release).

13. Engine Stopping Procedure

The normal way to shutdown a Diesel engine is to make the engine Governor to bring the fuel injector to the NO FUEL position. There are several ways to make the Governor to bring the fuel injectors to NO FUEL position including operating the following switches: 1. EFCO/STOP in Cab-1: The Emergency Fuel Cutoff & Engine Stop push button switch is mounted on the ECC#1 engine control panel in Cab-1. 2. EFCO/STOP in Cab-2: The Emergency Fuel Cutoff & Engine Stop push Button switch is mounted on the ECC#4 engine control panel in Cab-2. 3. EFCO 2: The emergency fuel cutoff push button switch is mounted on the left side of the locomotive just above the fuel tank filler. 4. EFCO 3: The emergency fuel cutoff push button switch is mounted on the right side of the Locomotive just above the fuel tank filler.

IRCAMTECH/M/GWL/Dual cab 49 5. MU ENGINE STOP in Cab-1 & Cab-2: The multiple Engine Stop/Run switch is mounted on the Control Consoles in both Cabs. Pressing the STOP portion of this switch stops all engines in the consists. This is the result of pickup of the SDR relay, when SDR is picked up, Governor DV solenoid energizes and Fuel Rack comes to No Fuel position. SDR NO2 interlock opens EFCO circuit and virtually de-energizes Fuel Pump Relay. The EFCO/STOP and MU Engine stop switches are shown in 2 figure respectively. 6. The Governor also brings the fuel injectors to the NO FUEL position, if any of the following conditions occur. Engine lube oil pressure is too low. Engine lube oil is too Hot. Engine coolant water pressure is too low. Engine crank case pressure is too high.

7. After shutting down the locomotive, let the COMP. CONTROL CB (In both Cabs) and TURBO LUBE PUMP Circuit Breaker remains in ON position. These three CB's are required to perform Post Lubrication for Turbo Super Charger for 35 minutes (max).

19. General Safety Precautions

Dual Cab Locomotive Safety Precautions: Dual Cab locomotive has AC Electrical transmission system and therefore includes special equipment which is not found on locomotive having usual DC/DC or AC/DC transmissions. For safety sake, it is necessary to follow certain extra precautions before inspecting the equipment or operating the locomotive. Locomotive pilots should not access any device within ECC#1 due to high voltage. Access within ECC#1 is limited to maintenance staff of the WDG4 / WDP4B / WDP4D locomotives. High voltage capacitors are located in each traction converter to filter main generator voltage. These capacitors operate at DC Link voltage from 600V to 3400V DC. When locomotive is shutdown, these capacitors could retain high voltage causing severe injury or death to the operating and maintenance staff. A procedure has been developed to discharge this high voltage into Dynamic Brake Grids or by other means to prevent the possibility of injury. They are:

Before shutting down the locomotive, keep RUN/ ISOLATE switch in ISOLATE position in both cabs and then shutdown the locomotive. All 'BRAKING CONTACTORS' pick up and discharge the DC LINK capacitors through grid resistors in one second. After 20 seconds all DC LINK Isolation switches will be driven to shorting position.

Automatic Discharge

DCL voltage is discharged automatically, when loco pilot takes manual action to shutdown the locomotive. There are three general ways to discharge the DC LINK capacitors and other components prior to servicing and 4th method is to maintain the short. i. REVERSER IN CENTER POSITION (Through Bleeder Resistors):

IRCAMTECH/M/GWL/Dual cab 76 Each Traction Inverter has Bleeder resistors (400 KΩ/200 W) across the DC link. When locomotive operator moves the reverser from forward or reverse to centered, main generator excitation stops. If no further action is taken, Bleeder resistors discharges the DC link < 90 volts in approximately 50 minutes. Although very reliable, the bleeder resistors do not guarantee the discharge since the resistor could be interrupted internally or the external connection to the capacitors. ii. ISOLATION SWITCH IN ISOLATE (Through Dynamic Brake grids): The normal way to discharge the DC LINK capacitors is through two Dynamic Brake grids which are connected in parallel. When locomotive operator turns Isolation switch in any cab from RUN to ISOLATE (or the LCC loses RUN digital Input signal), the parallel brake grid path is connected to DC LINK by four Braking contactors (B1, B2, B3, B4). This method discharges the DC LINK capacitors in less than ONE second. Note : If the Braking Grids are shorted or grounded, or any one grid path open circuited, the grids would still discharge the DC LINK. Only if both grid paths are Failed, the DC link does not discharge by this method. iii. BRAKE CHOPPER AND HARD CROW BAR: Whenever the DCLV ≥ 2800V, Brake Chopper fires to bring the DCLV to ≤2600V, if the DCLV ≥ 3000V Locomotive Control Computer cuts off excitation, TCC stops the operation of inverters, and when DCLV ≥ 3400V MCC fires Hard Crowbar and at DCLV ≥ 3600V, Hardware fires Hard Crowbar. DC Link voltage discharges in the Crowbar resistor. In case of crow bar fire, engine shuts down automatically and re-crank for normal operation.

IRCAMTECH/M/GWL/Dual cab 77 iv. After the DC link has been discharged by braking grids or the brake chopper or crow bar, the DC link contactors moves to the open position. Moving all DC link switch gears to the open position causes all Traction Inverters to be shorted and grounded. When the engine is shutdown (regardless of the

Isolation switch position), the control computer picks up all the Braking contactors, the DC link voltage dissipate through grid resistors. Once the DC link capacitors are discharged, DCL contactor moves to open position.
