Propulsion System
• A 1400 HP 1800 rpm water cooled diesel engine drives a
1150kVA 3 phase brushless alternator
• The three phase output of the alternator is rectified using a
full wave silicon bridge rectifier
• The DC output of the rectifier is fed to 4 Nos. of Axle hung
nose suspended DC series traction motors of 208 KW rating
• The alternator excitation, engine rpm and power output is
regulated by an Electronic Governor

Electronic Fuel Injection
• High-pressure injection system and electronic controls ensure clean,

powerful and efficient operation every time.
• The ECM continuously monitors data from strategically placed

sensors within the engine, optimizing the fuel-to-air mixture for
maximum combustion. Fuel is injected at pressures exceeding
25,000 psi.
• This results in better utilization of fuel with fewer emissions.

Getting more energy out of every drop of diesel fuel also results in
greater power.
• Multiple injection events during each power stroke yield smoother,

more consistent power at every rpm.

Traction Motors
 These motors are 3phase AC induction motor suitable for

VVVF (Variable Voltage and Variable Frequency) control.
 Four AC Traction Motors two in each truck to drive
individual wheels.
 Traction motor includes pinion, bull gear and gear case
assembly.
 Two Traction motors are driven by a single Traction
Converter.
 Traction Motors are self ventilated. Separate blowers are
not required.
Traction Motors
 Advantages of AC Traction Motors:
• Have more pulling power
• Avoid stall burns in the traction motors
• Have correspondingly lower maintenance requirements
• One of the miracles of the AC motor is that in the AC
induction motor, the rotor has no visible electrical
contacts to the outside world. Instead, it has an electrical
field induced into it by the electrical field of the stator --
no commutator, no brushes
• The induction of the electrical field into the rotor happens
because of the characteristic pulsing flow of current in
AC.
