6 . Keep holding the Engine PRIME / ENGINE START to prime

side and see that the fuel secondary sight glass is full of
fuel and shows no bubbles. Out of the two sight glasses,
the one closest to engine block should be full with out any
air bubbles and one away form the engine block should be
empty.
7. .Turn the Engine PRIME / ENGINE START switch to ENGINE

START side and press the lay shaft gently to crank the
engine. Release the lay shaft and the switch when you feel
the lay shaft being pulled from your hand (only for WDG4

POWER DISTRIBUTION
GT46MAC/PAC locomotives are equipped with

710G3B type Diesel Engine. The Engine crank shaft is directly
coupled with main Alternator. The starting of the engine is
established through two starting motors. These motors get
their supply from the batteries through starting contactors.
Once the engine is cranked, the main alternator converts the
diesel engine mechanical power into A.C electrical power.
The AC power is then converted to DC by rectifiers
which are powered within the generator assembly and the DC
output is applied to DC link. The DC link Switchgear apply DC
voltage to traction control converters (TCC1 & TCC2). The TCC
convert the DC link voltage to 3 phase AC power for the
traction motors. Both inverters are in turn controlled by
EM2000 main computer. TCC1 and TCC 2 controls the traction
motors by varying the voltage and frequency to get the proper
torque and speed. DC link voltage varies with throttle position
from 600V DC to 2600V DC at 8th notch.
TCC1 will control TM 1,2 &3 (WDG4) TM 1 & 2 (WDP4)
TCC2 will control TM 4,5 & 6 (WDG4) TM 3 & 4 (WDP4)
During dynamic braking the energy of the moving train is
transmitted into rotating energy in the Traction Motors. 3 phase
AC supply generated by all TMs will be fed back to traction
inverters TCC1 and TCC2 which converts to DC and supplied to
Dynamic braking Grids through Braking contactors B1, B2, B3 &
B4., which dissipate the electrical power in the form of heat.
PROCEDURE FOR RECYCLING CIRCUIT BREAKERS
1. Keep the Reverser handle in neutral.
2. Keep Throttle handle in idle.
3. Keep ER and GF switch OFF.
4. Keep isolation switch in isolate position.
5. Put OFF computer control circuit breaker (FIRST)
6. Now put OFF concerned circuit breaker as required.
(i.e. TCC 1, TCC 2, Micro Air Brake or AUXGen Field)
7. Wait for 20 to 30 Seconds.
8. Now put ON the concerned circuit breaker.
9. Put ON the Computer control circuit breaker. (LAST)
10. Recover penalty by keeping A9 in FS for 10 Seconds.

I. ISOLATION OF TRUCK
When it becomes necessary for any reason like power
ground etc. to isolate a truck the following procedure to be
followed:
1) Stop the loco
2) Secure the control stand:
a) Reverser - Neutral
b) Throttle - Idle
c) ER & GF - OFF
d) Isolation Switch - Isolate Position
On computer select
1. Main Menu
Function keys Arrow keys
2. By using Arrow keys bring cursor to Traction cut out
3. Select F3
MAIN MENU

Unit information English/Metric
>Traction cut out< Lock wheel detect
Select exit
F3
4. To disable a particular truck

Keep cursor at the side of truck 1
Or truck 2 which is to be cut out and
Use F3 function key to disable
After disabling a particular truck
Computer will display as follows
NOTE: After disabling truck
1) First clear the section.

2) Speak to PRC and decide load to be cleared
You can clear 60% of load with one truck.
For empties or passenger/Express train no reduction in
load.
3) Dynamic brake can be used for working truck.
II. LOCKED WHEEL
When locked wheel takes place it may be due to actual

locked wheel or it may be a speed sensor fault. The loco pilot
will experience the following indications.
1) Alarm }
2) TE Meter drops } Observe computer Screen
3) No Load }
Alarm
No Load
# 4 lock wheel detected
Check and verify
If wheel rotates
Actions by Loco Pilot: On experiencing the above first check
for locked wheel. Move the loco and ask the Asst. Loco pilot
to observe the wheel movement of all the wheel especially
wheel No: (As indicated on computer) If the wheel not
rotating fail the loco on the spot and check the journal
bearing. Try to inform PRC/Shed immediately.
If all wheels are rotating freely, it means it is a speed

sensor fault, check and secures broken speed sensor cable
and plug end. Disabled the particular speed sensor and work
onwards with full load.
For disabling a Speed Sensor secure the control stand keep
1) Reverser - Neutral
2) Throttle - Idle
3) ER & GF - OFF
4) Isolation switch - Isolation side
On computer select
1. Main menu
2. By using Arrow keys bring cursor to

Locked wheel detect
3. Press F3 to Select
4. Locked wheel status displays on computer screen.
Now keeping cursor on required axle speed sensor to be
cut out.
5. Use F1 function key to cut out Particular speed sensor.
After disabling speed sensor Computer displays as
follows.
Note: WDP4 locos are having only two traction motors per truck;
hence only one speed sensor per truck can be disabled. WDG4
locos are having 3 traction motors per truck; hence any two
speed sensor per truck can be disabled. One speed sensor per
truck is always required for reference to computer
III. POWER GROUND
A power ground takes place when there is any grounding of the

electrical power circuit. On WDP4 & WDG4 locos there are two
types of power grounds
1) Ground relay - Dynamic brake

2) Ground relay - Power
In the first case when ground relay dynamic brake takes place, the
loco pilot gets the following indications
1) Alarm }
2) No load } Observe on computer screen
3) TE meter drops }
GROUND RELAY- DYNAMIC BRAKE
Action by Loco Pilot:

Keep 1) Reverser Neutral
2) Throttle -Idle
GROUND RELAY-DYNAMIC BRAKE
RESET
Computer will display RESET option above F3.
Press F3 function key to RESET
Note: If ground relay dynamic brake takes places 3 times with in

10 minutes DYNAMIC BRAKE LOCK OUT Takes place and computer
screen displays as follows
NO DYNAMIC BRAKE
GROUND RELAY LOCK OUT
In such case cut out DYNAMIC BRAKE white slide switch on

control panel and work onwards with out dynamic brake duly
informing shed. Pass necessary remark in repair book.
In this Second case when Ground RelayPower takes

place the Loco Pilot gets the following indications

2) But, if three Power Grounds takes place within ten minutes

computer will display NO POWER GROUND RELAY-LOCK OUT.
This means there could be a problem existing in any one of the
trucks.
NO POWER GROUND RELAY- LOCK OUT
3) Disable one truck at time and move loco on power to identify

defective truck, and clear section with one truck.
4) Check under truck for any shorting and smoking from traction
motors cables
5) If trouble still exists after cutting out both trucks one at a time
it means the problem could be with the ALTERNATOR

COMPUTER CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM (CCB)
The loco is equipped with a computer controlled air brake

system (CCB). The CCB equipment is a complete microprocessor
air brake control system for WDG4 locos and WDP4 locos. All
logics are computer controlled. The driver uses one of the two
consoles , brake control unit (BCU) to control the Loco.
Emergency applications are also initiated pneumatically in parallel
with computer initiated emergency applications.
Brake control unit (BCU) :
I)Automatic Brake valve (Auto Brake) : Having 5 positions.
a) Release/over charging (spring loaded)
: BP = 5.7 kg/cm2 max.
b) Running : Equalizing reservoir (ER) and

BP = 5.2 kg/cm2 BCP=0
c) Minimum service : ER/BP reduce to 4.7 kg/cm2,

BCP = 1.1 kg/cm2
d) Full service : ER/BP reduce to 3.4 kg/cm2,
BCP = 4.35 kg/cm2
e) Emergency : ER reduces to 0, B.P reduces to

1 kg/cm2
BCP = 4.35 Kg/cm2, BCEP = 3.57 kg/cm2
II) Independent Brake Valve (Direct Brake) : It is having
following positions
a) Release Position : BCP = 0
b) Application zone : Maximum brake position,

BCP =5.2 kg/cm2, BCEP=3.7 kg/cm2
c) Bail off: When an automatic brake is applied, lifting the

bail-off ring which is provided in the independent
brake valve handle in any position will release BC
as a result of BP reduction. Independent brake
handle bail-off ring is spring loaded and by lifting it,
the bail of function will be activated.
III) Selector Switch or Air Brake Lead/Trail set up switch:
The Lead/trail air brake set up switch is located on brake

control next to independent brake handle. This switch has the
following positions:
i) HLPR: Used during Banking loco working

console.
ii) Trail : In Leading Loco non-working Console and
also for Trailing loco both the consoles.
iii) Lead : Used with loco in lead or controlling .
iv) Test: In working console used during brake pipe
leakage-testing and also during attaching of
locomotive on formation.
