BENEFITS OF GM

TECHNOLOGY HIGH ADHESION

Radar based creep control system perfected by GM through years of research. Pioneers in this technology. So far unsurpassed.

Enables very high exploitation of adhesion resulting in tractive efforts much beyond that obtained on higher horse power electric or diesel locomotives

Page 10: GM LOCOMOTIVE AN OVERVIEW - Indian · PDF fileWDG4 58 4750. BENEFITS OF ... Fan Driven by ECC ... • Panel Mounted Brake system –Brake valves fitted on rack, PCB concept for piping

BENEFITS OF GM

TECHNOLOGY

High Adhesion – Mechanism

• 4000 hp WDG4 hauls more than 6000 hp locos

• Normally, due to slip between rail and wheels full power of a loco is not converted into traction

• WDG4 technology keeps friction very close to limiting (peak) friction and prevents uncontrolled slip. It keeps comparing the wheel speed with land speed with the help of a radar

• This permits full exploitation of adhesion to be applied in traction

Page 11: GM LOCOMOTIVE AN OVERVIEW - Indian · PDF fileWDG4 58 4750. BENEFITS OF ... Fan Driven by ECC ... • Panel Mounted Brake system –Brake valves fitted on rack, PCB concept for piping

WDG4 Adhesion Control The Concept

F

V

Close watch on control of slip made possible due to a land

speed sensing radar, which keeps the slip in the blue zone.

Normal locos

operate in this

region and

never reach

the peak

friction in a

controlled way

Max exploitation of creep

By achieving a controlled

slip WDG4 maximizes

traction.

BENEFITS OF GM

TECHNOLOGY IMPROVED SAFETY

• Blending of dynamic and air brakes, not available on any other electric or diesel locomotive in India

• Higher safety due to better dynamic brakes; nearly 50 % higher braking power as compared to conventional locomotives effective right down to standstill

• Inbuilt vigilance control device ensures that driver is alert

Page 13: GM LOCOMOTIVE AN OVERVIEW - Indian · PDF fileWDG4 58 4750. BENEFITS OF ... Fan Driven by ECC ... • Panel Mounted Brake system –Brake valves fitted on rack, PCB concept for piping

BENEFITS OF GM

TECHNOLOGY

BLENDED BRAKES Optimises mix of dynamic and air brakes

to minimise wear on wheel and brake blocks

This braking effort is available

From Dynamic Braking

Speed

At higher speeds dynamic braking

does not provide enough braking

power. Balance made up by

air brake intelligently

CENTRALIZED AIR SYSTEM • A source of clean air is

required for the locomotive to operate effectively

• The heart of the clean air system is a section of the Carbody.

• The rear of the electrical cabinet makes up the front wall of the air compartment.

• The back wall is made up of the main generator and a partition fitted around the main generator

• One opening is provided for air to the engine and another opening is provided for auxiliary generator and main generator blower drive
