 Present Indian fleet consists Electric and Diesel Electric

Engines.

 Steam Engines are no longer used, except for heritage

trains.

 Engines are Locomotives popularly called as “Locos" .

 All Indian Railway electric locomotives work on 25 KV

AC, 50 Hz over head traction system earlier except in
Mumbai suburban area (1500 V DC), now completely
converted to 25 KV AC, 50 Hz.
 Locos, except for older steam ones, have classification
codes that identify them. This code is of the form
 '[Gauge] [Power Source] [Application][Series]'
M=Mixed Traffic
W=Broad Gauge(1.676M)
P=Passenger
Y=Meter Gauge (1M)
G=Goods
Z=Narrow Gauge (0.762M)
S=Shunting
N=Narrow Gauge(0.609M )
U=Multiple Unit (EMU/DEMU)
D=Diesel
C=DC Traction Is a digit indicating the model.

A=AC Traction Denotes that the locomotive is

chronologically the ‘n’th locomotive
CA=Dual Power AC/DC model
Broad Gauge
Denotes that this locomotive
is chronologically the fourth

• From Control point of view, Loco is divided into 2 sub
systems.

• The numbering ending with 1 or 2 indicates Bogie 1 or

Bogie 2 items.

MVMT  Blower Motor for Traction Motors of a Bogie

MVMT1 and MVMT2

RSI  Rectifier Block RSI 1 and RSI 2

QRSI  Air Flow Relay for Rectifier Blower Motor

QRSI 1 and QRSI 2
HMCS  Motor Cutout Switch HMCS1 and HMCS2

• Items located in CAB 1 and 2 are given numbering 1 and

2 to indicate their physical location.

AC  Control Panel in CAB AC1 and AC2

LSDJ  Lamp for Circuit Breaker ON/OFF

LSDJ1 and LSDJ2

Some items are given running serial numbers.

C 101, 102 and 103  Contactor for Compressor 1, 2 and 3

C 105, 106  Contactor for TM Blower No. 1 and 2

C 118  ARNO Starting Contactor

C 145  Dynamic Braking Excitation Transformer

Contactor

L 1 to 6  Line Contactors for TM 1 to 6

A- stand for AC traction,
G- stands for goods,
7- means generation.
 Horse power - 5000 hp.

 Maxm. Speed – 100 KMPH.

 Max. Tractive Effort – 42.0 (starting).

• Haulage capacity in Single Unit (SU):

(i) 7500 T on level track upto 80KMPH
