Study Notes

Locomotive System Information

  • The locomotive is modular, with five main components: roof, driver's cab, machine room, bogie, and frame.
  • Roof equipment, such as pantograph for current collection, internal air filter, 25 KV bushing, surge arrester, earthing switch, vacuum circuit breaker, primary voltage transformer, and harmonic filter resistance box, are mounted on the primary side of the transformer.

Locomotive Layout

  • Figure 2.1 shows the overall layout of the locomotive, including the roof, driver's cab, machine room, and bogies/frames.
  • Figure 2.2 shows a detailed layout of the roof equipment.
  • Figure 2.3 provides a detailed layout of the machine room components.
  • Figure 2.4 shows an overview of the driver's cab, including controls and indicators.

Underframe Equipment

  • Compressors, air dryers, air reservoirs, and batteries are mounted in the underframe of the locomotive.
  • Figure 2.5 displays the underframe layout.

Locomotive Performance Specifications

  • Starting Tractive Effort: 258 kN
  • Continuous Rated Tractive Effort (0–50 km/h): 220 kN
  • Continuous Rated Speed: 50 km/h
  • Continuous Rated Power (80–160 km/h): 4000 kW
  • Maximum Regenerative Braking Effort (10–90 km/h): 160 kN
  • Maximum Service Speed: 160 km/h
  • Total weight: 78.0± 1% tones plus max. 800 kg including harmonic filter and side buffers
  • Axle load: 19.5± 2% tones

  • Length of Locomotive over buffers: 18162 mm
  • Length of Locomotive over headstock: 16880 mm
  • Other dimensions including axle arrangements, brake types, and control circuits voltage are also provided.

Other Features

  • The locomotive uses a 3-phase drive with GTO thyristors and MICAS-S2 microprocessor-based control system.
  • Future upgrades may include increasing service speed to 200 km/h by adjusting the gear ratio and additional hotel load winding.
  • The locomotive design accommodates multiple-unit operation

Tractive and Braking Curves

  • Figures 2.6 and 4.7 display tractive effort and braking effort versus speed curves for the WAP5 locomotive. These provide visual representations of the locomotive's performance capabilities, useful for design and operation analysis.
  • Corresponding data for WAG9 locomotives are included as well, showing similar curves for tractive and braking effort at various speeds.

Haulage Capacity Table

  • Several tables (Figure 2.8, and similar) present haulage capacity data for different locomotive types (passenger trains, express trains, and others) at various speeds and service grades. These data illustrate the maximum load capacity the locomotive can handle at different operating conditions.
