propriate level of technical and engineering understanding before undertaking any oper-
ations on the locomotive. This manual describes the technical procedures required to sewice
and maintain the specifics of the WAP-5 series locomotives, not general locomotive engin-
eering practices. Workshop procedures and practices are not covered within these instruc-
tions.

Scope of Work

Due to the complex nature of locomotive engineering, every instance in which equipment can
be removed or installed cannot be taken into consideration in these Volumes.

Some equipment can be serviced in sib:-it may not be necessary to remove the entire as-
sembly from the locomotive. For example, the valve sets can be removed from the traction
converter without removing the traction converter from the locomotive. Before undertaking
any work on the locomotive, the entire chapter must be read, and the user acquainted with
all aspects of the procedures. The scope of work is then to be established.

General Information

Throughout this preface, the term 'equipment' refers to the components and systems that
comprise the locomotive.
All figures in these volumes are graphical representations intended as general illustrations
to represent the situation. They may not be dimensionally or otherwise accurate. Figures
should not be used for scaling. Only the items numbered in an illustration are referenced in
the associated text passages. No additional information should be inferred from the figure.
Figures, photographs and drawings may appear pictorially different from the physical situ-
ation being represented. Extraneouscomponents may not be shown in the illustrationfor clar-
ity. Others may be shown redundantly to provide a frame of reference for the situation.

References

Maintenance, removal or installation of some equipment on the locomotive can require inter-
action with other components described in different chapters, or volumes. In these cases, a
reference is given directing the user to the appropriate documentation. For example, "refer
to Chapter 3, Primary Suspension" directs the user to another chapter in Volume D where the
necessary procedures are described. References, such as, "refer to Chapter 5, Oil Blowers

Safety Information
@.low

Workshop Safety

All employees must take care to avoid the risk of injury to themselves and others. Precautions
and care should be taken in accordance with the prevailing workshop regulations.

Caution signs, stating personnel working on locomotive, are to be located at both ends of the
locomotive whenever any maintenance procedures are undertaken.
Before carrying out maintenance or repairs on the locomotive, make sure that the locomotive
is safely parked with the parked brakes released. Chock wheels to prevent locomotive move-
ment.
Many systems on the locomotive interact with other systems, eg. powering-up the auxiliary
converters causes the blowers to start. Therefore, if the operation of any ancillary equipment
could endanger the safety of any person, then the appropriate systems must be isolated.

Electrical Precautions

Where the scope of work requires the isolationof the overhead catenary, the overhead must
be isolated in accordance with the prevailing workshop regulations, before any person works
on high voltage equipment. Refer Electrical Isolation of the Locomotive.
Whenever working on the roof area, the locomotive.mustbe shunted to a section of track that
contains no overhead catenary, and the traction converter must be earthed. Refer Electrical
Isolation of the Locomotive.
ln
Do not attempt to make repairs or adjustments in the control cubicles or driver's deskmen
power is on. Ensure that the battery supply is isolated. 0
m
0.
The 750VAC hotel load supply and 110V binary signal trainlines are a potential electridahaz-
ard. Before working on systems connected to these sockets, ensure that the locomotive is
electrically uncoupled at both ends, the locomotive is isolated and earthed at the main circuit
breaker, and that the batteries are isolated.
Do not operate the controls of functional apparatus (eg. move contactors, actuators, relays
or EP valves by hand, connect or disconnect wires, remove temporary packings or interfere
with pneumatic equipment) of a locomotive undergoing maintenanceltesting, without first en-
suring that there are no persons engaged in any work on, within or beneath that locomotive,
who may be injured in any way by the operation.

Maintenance and Repair Manual

Care should also be taken to ensure that capacitor systems on the locomotive have dis-
charged prior to undertaking operations. The traction converters and the BUR cabinets con-
tain capacitors. Voltage indicators on these cabinets warn of any residual voltage in the cabi-
net. Always ensure that indicator LEDs are flashing slower than once every 15 seconds. See
Electrical Isolation of the Locomotive, Chapters 4.1, Traction Converter and 5.1, Auxiliary
Three-Phase Power for more information on voltage indicators. The filter cubicle also con-
tains capacitors, but these are automatically discharged whenever the main circuit breaker
is opened.
The gases generated by a battery are highly flammable. Where a battery is found to be or
suspected to be overheated, extreme caution should be taken to prevent ignition until the
gases have been allowed to disperse. Keep flames, lighted cigarettes and welding operations
away from batteries.

Electronics Precautions

Do not use a buzzer, bell, megger, or flash test equipment until all circuits which include semi-
conductor devices have been isolated. Ensure the manufacturers directions are followed
whenever testing electrical and electronic devices. Special tools and testing procedures may
be required.
Whenever working with electrical equipment, it is good practice to become familiar with the
related schematics. Volume G, Cabling Documentationcontains the electrical schematics for
the locomotive. Always ensure that any removed wiring is reconnected correctly, as incorrect
wiring can cause irreparable damage to equipment and incomprehensible error messages
from the control electronics.
When electrical and electronic equipment is to be removed, all wiring should first be tagged
before it is disconnected. This will aid in the correct reinstallation and reconnection of the
equipment.
In many chapters, references are given to the appropriate Sheet in Volume G, Cabling
Documentation. Otherwise, wiring should be reconnected as tagged during removal. The
wiring and terminal numbers located on equipment are referenced in the electrical
schematics in Volume G.

Cabinets and Equipment Cubicles

WARNING:
Extreme care must be taken when approaching equipment which has been
live, and could remain live for a short period of fime because of the delayed
discharge time of capacitors.

These systems contain high-power AC systems connected to the main transformer and/or
DC systems connected to the battery. Electrical systems must be isolated and earthed, and
the capacitor systems discharged prior to removing any panels from these areas or working
on any of these systems. See Electrical Precautions. Covers on the HB, FB, SR (traction con-
verters) and BUR cabinets require keys from the key interlocking system for access. See
Electrical Isolation of the Locomotive.

Handling Precautions

Most locomotive equipment is heavy. Generally, the weight of equipment is listed in Section
Technical Data. Care must be taken to avoid personal injury or damage to adjacent equip-
ment. Heavy items must be lifted in accordance with the prevailing workshop safety regula-
tions using suitable lifting equipment. Such lifting equipment must be rated to carry the weight
involved. Always ensure that the weight of the item to be lifted is known before commencing
the procedure. For example, some equipment contains oil or other fluids, which may not be
included in the listed weight for the equipment. Operate the lifting equipment in accordance
with the manufacturers recommendations. Always ensure that the item to be lifted is tr&-
ported in accordance with its manufacturers directions. g,
m
Fluids Precautions

When handling lubricants, sealants, paints, adhesives, cleaning fluids or similar, the local
workshop regulations or the manufacturer's instructions must be strictly observed.
Ensure that appropriate cleaning materialsand preparationsare used whenever cleaning any
equipment. Ensure the manufacturers documentation for the equipment is consulted prior to
cleaning any equipment, as some cleaning agents and solvents may cause damage to some
equipment.
Always observe the cleaning solvent manufacturer's instructions. Some solvents may be
toxic or flammable.

Maintenance and Repair Manual

Lubrication Precautions

Clean lubricating points before applying the recommended lubricant, and remove any excess
after applying new lubricant.

Pneumatic Precautions

Before performing any operations on systems incorporating pneumatic components, ensure


the locomotive pneumatic system is isolated and vented, as described in Chapter 6.3, Main
Reservoirs.
Before operating any pneumatic cocks, check the direction in which any air may be vented
and ensure that the blast of compressed air cannot cause injury or damage.
Before attempting to dismantle or remove any equipment that is connected to a compressed
air system, isolate it from the air supply and exhaust all air from it and the associated system.
When blowing out pipes with compressed air, wear goggles and take care to avoid any open-
ings from which the air may blow out, as blown particles can be harmful.
During brake testing involving application and release of the brakes, ensure that no other per-
sonnel are in positions where they could be endangered by the movement of the brake blocks,
rigging etc. Warning signs must be located at both ends of the locomotive during brake testing
or brake maintenance. If the brake system is isolated, warning indicators must also be in posi-
tion at each end of the locomotive and on both driver's desks.

Welding Precautions

When welding operations are being carried out on a vehicle, the welding return lead shall be
secured as near as possible to the point of welding. All electronic devices shall be individually
grounded. The locomotive structure is a critically stressed unit, and welding should only be
carried out to an Approved Welding Procedure by suitably qualified technicians.

Maintenance and Repair Manual

When carrying out repairs or testing of electrical equipment (unless specifically authorised
otherwise), the locomotive high voltage equipment must be isolated by using the Key Inter-
locking System. The key interlocking system isolates and earths various parts of the locorno-
tive electrical system. The key interlocking system comprises five different key types; A, B,
C, D and E. Each key type is coloured distinctly;

Key Colour Qty. Location


A Light Blue 1 Pantograph air supply isolating cock
B Yellow 2 Main circuit breaker earthing switch
C Green 7 Key Multiplier No. 1
D Black 2 1 on each traction converter earthing switch
E White 6 Key multiplier No. 2 I
The following steps describe how to earth and isolate the locomotive using the key interlock-
ing system.
Shut down the locomotive as described in Chapter 4, Vehicle Operation of Volume A,
Driver's Manual.
Turn off the air supply to the pantographs by switching Key A on the air supply isolating
cock, located on the brake frame (pneumatic panel). The air in the system will be ex-
hausted, locking the pantograph in the lowered position.
To release Keys B, insert and turn key A in the main circuit breaker Earthing Switch. A
bolt will be released, unlocking the arm of the main circuit breaker. Move the arm to the
EARTH position then turn and remove the Keys B.
One Key B should be held by the maintenance supervisor. The other is used in the key
multiplier No. 1 to release Keys C. The seven Keys C are used for:
- Unlocking the earthing switch on traction converter 1

- Unlocking the earthing switch on traction converter 2


- Opening the auxiliary circuit block 1
- Opening the auxiliary circuit block 2
- Opening the auxiliary converter 1
- Opening the auxiliary converter 2

- Opening the filter block

Move the battery isolating switch to the Off position, as required.


The Keys C are used to unlock the earthing switches on each traction converter. Before
operating the traction converter earthing switches, ensure the master switch on the
driver's desk is in the "0" position and that the "Control Circuits Locomotive" (112.1) cir-

cuit breaker is in the "OFF position. Circuit breaker 112.1 is situated in SB2.Ensure
that there is no fault message, "Fault DC Link Discharge", on display terminal in the
cabin, and the voltage indicator LED is OFF for at least 15 seconds. From the time the
locomotive is powered down, it can take approximately 5 minutes to completely dis-
charge the DC-Link capacitors. Always ensure that indicator LED is flashing slower
than once every 15 seconds before earthing the traction converter.
To release Keys D from the traction converter, insert and turn a Key C in the traction
converter earthing switch. A bolt will be released, unlocking the traction converter earth-
ing switch arm. Move the arm to the EARTH position then turn and remove the Key D
from the traction converter. Repeat the procedure on the other traction converter.
Once both of the Keys D have been removed from the traction converters, they are
used to release Keys E from key multiplier No. 2, located in the machine room behind
the cab. The six keys E are used unlock:
- Traction converter 1, door locks 1 - 3
- Traction converter 2, door locks 1 - 3

Steam Cleaning

Steam cleaning equipment uses high pressure, high temperature steam and cleaning prep-
arations to blast dirt, debris and other built up deposits from surfaces. Care must be taken
to ensure that the nozzle of the steam cleaning equipment does not spray onto persons or
sensitive equipment, as severe damage may occur. Always operate steam cleaning equip-
ment in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Some equipment contains air vents for cooling and venting, such as the vents in the axle
boxes and traction motors. Steam cleaning of such equipment must be performed in a careful
and controlled manner to ensure that the cleaning jet is not directed into such vents. Refer
to Chapter 2.6, Transmission.

Non-Destructive Testing & Inspection C


i
rn
-
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is required in many areas of locomotive maintenance anme-
pair. There are many forms of NDT that can be used as an aid to identify cracks, holes, flaws
or other discontinuitiesin components. This section outlines the basic principals of five forms
of NDT: visual inspection, penetrant, ultrasonic, magnetic and radiographic.
Information given in this section is intended as a guide only and is in no way an exhaustive
list of NDT procedures, operation or techniques. All non-destructive testing must be per-
formed by a qualified operator and the resulting data must be interpreted by qualified person-
nel.

Visual Inspection

Visual inspection is usually the first form of testing or evaluation performed. Many defects,
cracks and points of corrosion may be quickly discovered through a visual inspection.

Impact or stress damage, flaking, scratches and other conditions may also be apparent dur-
ing a visual inspection. This type of damage is usually specific for each component. The In-
spection and Repair Sections in these Maintenance and Repair volumes give more specific
details of the visual inspections necessary to identify likely damage or faults which may occur
some of components and systems covered in these volumes.
The following information discusses some forms of damage that may be apparent during a
visual inspection.

Corrosion

Corrosion is common on metallic surfaces and can be readily identified through discolour-
ation, scaling and flaking. While certainly indicators of corrosion, these symptoms may be
caused by a means other than corrosion and must not be used solely as confirmation of cor-
rosion. Overheating may appear to be similar to corrosion, both giving a brown colour and
a similar texture.

Overheating

Overheating can appear similar in colour and texture to corrosion. Discolouration from heat
usually appears to fade at the edges, whereas corrosion generally has defined edges of a
more constant colour. Overheating may also result in a bluish colouring, quite distinct from
corrosion that fades towards the edges.

Cracking

Cracks may appear in many surfaces. A crack may appear to run along the surface or to be
coming out from inside the component. In either case, the source of the crack and the extent
of the crack must be evaluated, possibly by use of another NDT technique, to establish the
best course of action regarding the repair or rejection of the cracked component.

Indian Railways WAP-5 Preface
Maintenance and Repair Manual

Penetrant Testing

Cracks that penetrate the surface of a material may not always be visible to the naked eye.
Dye penetrants can aid in identifying discontinuities in components.

Penetrants must always be used only by qualified personnel, in accordance with equipment
manufacturers recommendations and within the prevailing workshop regulations.

When a penetrant is applied to aclean surface containing acrack, hole or other flaw, the pene-
trant is drawn into the discontinuity through capillary action. When the excess penetrant is
cleaned from the surface, the penetrant within the discontinuity remains visible. If the pene-
trant and the cleaned surface provide sufficient visual contrast, the penetrant can be easily
observed, revealing the discontinuity. Some penetrants may be fluorescent to provide a stark
contrast, others require a specialised ultraviolet or laser light source to highlightthe penetrant
against the material.

Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic testing uses high frequency sound waves to locate discontinuities in a component.
Ultrasonic testing must always be performed by personnelfully qualified in the particular type
of equipment. Testing must be performed in accordance with the equipment manufacturers
recommendations and within the prevailing workshop regulations.
Atypical ultrasonic testing machine displays a graph representing discontinuitiesin a compo-
nent on a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO). Peaks or spikes in the graph indicatethe severity
of the discontinuity; the bigger the spike, the greater the discontinuity.
When using ultrasonics to test for discontinuities, it is good engineering practice to maintain
accurate records to develop a history of test results. The graph should be approximately &?
same for all items of a particular component type. This information can be used to dev*
a standard for a particular component type. For comparison purposes, reference can the@e
made to the standard to evaluate the condition of an individual component against a k h k n
standard. For example, axles should always produce a similar graph when tested. Each end
of the axle, along with edges and shoulders machined into the axle will appear as spikes on
the CRO. Variations may be an indication of a difference in a particular axle to the standard
axle. Additional spikes, where no shoulder, edge or end exists on the axle, are indicators of
discontinuities in the axle, such as cracks. Such a variation may indicate that a further, or a
more in depth, test is required to fully evaluate the axles condition.

3EHW 411380 Revision Date: 12.2001
Preface Indian Railways WAP-5
Maintenance and Repair Manual

Magnetic Testing

When a discontinuity is present in a material, the magnetic flux within the material changes
greatly as it approaches the discontinuity. This noticeable change in magnetic fluxcan be use-
ful for finding and evaluating flaws and cracks in a material.

Magnetic testing equipment must always be operated by fully qualified personnel in accord-
ance with equipment manufacturers recommendations and within the prevailing workshop
regulations.

Some materials are ferromagnetic (eg. iron, steel, cobalt, nickel) and can be magnetised to
provide a suitable magnetic flux for testing. Other materials, such as aluminium, copper and
some stainless steels are not ferromagnetic and do not possess a magnetic flux suitable for
testing. However, by inducing a current in such materials, a magneticflux is also induced. This
induced magnetic flux can be suitable for testing for discontinuities in the material.

Any item that has been magnetically tested must be demagnetised after the testing pro-
cedure. before re-use in service.

Radiographic Testing

Radiographic, or x-ray, testing involves exposing a component to a radiographic source


(such as x-rays or gamma rays) and measuring the change in the source after it has passed
through the material. Voids, porosity and cracks are shown as a change in radiographic dis-
tribution within the material. The distribution through a discontinuity is noticeably different
than for the surrounding, continuous material.

Radiographic testing equipment must always be operated by fully qualified personnel in ac-
cordance with equipment manufacturers recommendations and strictly within the prevailing
workshop regulations.

Sealant Preparation

Surfaces to be sealed and joined with Sikaflex 221, Sikalastomer 710 or Sikaflex 15LM must
first be prepared in accordance with the sealant manufacturersdirections. If the proper prep-
arations are not performed, the integrity of the sealant can not be guaranteed.
Some sections of this volume require that sealed joins be cut in order that some components
may be removed from the loco. When reinstalling such components, a new seal must also
be achieved. Any traces of the previous seal must be completely removed and the surfaces
prepared accordingly so that a new seal may be achieved.

Maintenance and Repair Manual

The following table shows the preparations required for particular surface types and finishes
prior to the application of Sikaflex 221.

Painted Surfaces Painted surfaces must be cleaned with Sikacleaner 205.


Bare Metallic Surfaces All unfinished metallic surfaces require three stages of preparation; sur-
facescuffing, cleaning with Sikacleaner205 and priming with Sikaprimer
21OT.
Powder-coated Surfaces Powder-coated surfaces must be cleaned with Sikacleaner 205 and
then primed with Sikaprimer 210T.
Fibreglass Surfaces Fibreglass (GRP or GFRP) must be cleaned with Sikacleaner 205 and
then primed with Sikaprimer 210T. New fibreglass components must be
ground down approximately 0.5 mm on the area to be sealed prior to
cleaning. Gel-coats, waxes and other release agents present on the
surface must be removed, as the sealant will not bond to these coatings.

Surface Preparations

The following table shows the preparation required prior to the application of Sikaflex 221.

Surface Scuffing Using asuitable steel wool pad or equivalent, gently scourthe surface area to be
sealed. Gentle scuffing of the surface enables the sealant to adhere more fully
with the surface.
Cleaning Surfaces to be cleaned with Sikacleaner 205 must first be dry and clean of any
loose paint flakes, oxide's, grease, lubricants, release agents and other conta-
minants. Cleaning with Sikacleaner 205 should be done in two stages. First,
apply Sikacleaner 205 with a clean cloth to the area to be sealed, wiping thor-
oughly. Allow this to dry, then clean area again with aclean cloth, wiping in one
direction only. This is to prevent recontaminating the-area just wiped by wiping
over it again. Allow the cleaner to dry for the recommendedtime before applying
sealant. If thirty minutes is exceeded before the sealant has been applied, IigeYy
reapply Sikacleaner 205 as previously described. -9
Priming Sikaprimer 210T is to be applied over an area already cleaned using ~ i k a c l G r
205, as described previously. Once cleaned, allow to dry for 10 minute-n
apply a thin, even coat of Sikaprimer 210T using a suitable brush. Allow &ry
before applying sealant. If 5 hours is exceeded before sealant has been applied,
lightly sand the surface, remove any dust and prime again.
Sealing All areas to be sealed must first be cleaned and/or primed. Once the sealant has
been applied to the surface to be joined, joining must take place as quickly as
possible to avoid the sealant curing. As a general guide, Sikaflex 221 has a tack-
free time of approximately 50 minutes at 20 "C and 50% relative humidity. This
time is likely to be shorter in increased temperature and/or humidity. Once the
sealant has been applied and the two surfaces joined, clamping must be applied
if no other fixing method is used on the sealed components. Refer to the manu-
facturers documentation for details regarding tack-free times and curing rates.

Water Test

In various chapters throughout these Maintenance and Repair Volumes, a water test is re-
quired after work has been performed. The test is to be performed to ensure the locomotive
is water tight. Any water leaks on the locomotive pose an operational hazard, as the ingress
of water to the locomotive can cause damage to electrical components and corrosion of me-
tallic parts.

The locomotive must be in full operational condition for the water test. All equipment is to be
installed and all sealant curing times observed. All blowers are to be running during the water
test.

Do not spray water directly into breather ports on axle boxes or traction motors, or into roof
vents on the cab or the mushrooms on the machine room roof hatches.

The locomotive should be positioned below a spray gantry, consisting of horizontal top rows
of nozzles, each with two vertical rows of nozzles, one on each side of the locomotive. Each
row of nozzles should be capable of uniformly delivering 500 litres of water per minute at 200
kPa with 90" solid cone nozzle spray patterns. With ail blowers running (traction motor, oil
cooler and machine room blowers, complete with scavenge blowers), the locomotive should
be tested underthe gantryfor a period of 15 minutes. During this period, personnel within the
locomotive cabs and machine room should be inspecting the locomotive for leaks. Typical
areas to inspect would be seals, through bolt holes, areas where equipment passes from the
outside to the inside of the locomotive, and opening with covers/doors and windows.

Tightening Torques

The tightening torques in the following tables only apply to the grade and size of bolt listed,
unless otherwise specified in the procedure described in these volumes, or Volume F,
Suppliers Documentation.
As a general rule, a locking compound, such as Loctite, should be used when assembling
fasteners, except on the bogies. A thread sealing compound should be used on all threads
opening into any compartment of the locomotivestructure, and on all pipefittings. Some com-
pounds and coatings may alter the required tightening torque. Use the compound manufac-
turer's recommendations for modification of the tightening torques to avoid mechanical fail-
ure.

Functional Description

Carbody

The WAP-5 locomotive carbody is constructed of welded steel components forming an inte-
gral structure. The body structure consists of four major parts; driver's cabs, underframe, ma-
chine room and roof hatches.
High strength, low alloy (HSLA) carbon steel is used extensively for frame work and the outer
panels. The framework and outer panels of the carbody form an integral structure. This prin-
ciple enables loads and forces to be dispersed over a wide area of the structure through the
frames and panels; minimising localised stress and providing uniform strength throughout the
carbody.
The HSlAsteel components of the carbody structure are welded using convention metal-arc
welding and gas-shielded arc welding. Specifications given in this chapter for welding are in-
tended as a guide. All welding repairs on the locomotive must be undertaken by a qualified
welding trades person. Integrity of welding repairs must be checked using a non-destructive
test method.
The car body structure is generally symmetrical side to side and end to end. The symmetry
of the design and common usage of components contributes to the repairability of the car-
body.
The underframe is comprised of box section side sills and transverse members. Vertical fram-
ing is erected on the underframe to provide support for the walls and bulkheads.
A driver's cabin is situated at each end of the carbody, allowing the locomotive to operate in
either direction. Walls betweenthe two cabins form the machine room that houses thetraction
control equipment. A centrally located door way in the rear cabin bulkhead allows access to
the machine room from the cabin.
Removable roof hatches enclose the machine room and allow access for maintenance of
large items. The machine room is sealed and, in operation, pressurised to prevent the ingress
of dust.
Acowcatcher is fitted at each end of the locomotiveto act as an impact barrier, sweeping large
debris from the pathway of the locomotive.

Maintenance and Repair Manual

Cab

The driver's cabins provide a comfortable and safe working area for the driver and crew. Each
cab is fully insulated to reduce noise and minimise temperature fluctuations.
Welded box section corner posts form the cab front pillars. These corner posts, along with
the collision posts attached to the headstock provide protection for the cab occupants. Box
section pillars between the underframe and cant rail support the roof, providing doorway pil-
lars. A diagonal brace from the cab door pillar provides additional bracing for the walls.
The side walls and roof are constructed from plate steel. Each end wall has two half height
windscreens and pockets for the hotel sockets, head and marker lights. There are half height
windows and a doorway in each side wall.
A bulkhead closes off the rear of the cab to the machine room. A doorway in the bulkhead
provides access to the machine room. A lockable steel cabinet is situated on the cab side of
the bulkhead and provides a secure storage area within the cab.
A moulded cap made of Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) covers the roof above each
cab to improve the aerodynamics of the locomotive. The cap is shaped to deflect air around
the roof hatches when the locomotive is travelling at high speeds. The caps are riveted to the
car body and sealed to prevent the entry of moisture.
On the inside of the cab, a gutter below the side windows collects any run offwater. A channel
ducts the run off from the gutter to a drain hole in the forward hand rail alcove. A rubber flap
seals the drain hole.

Machine Room

t,
The machine room walls have a ladder frame construction, covered by. plate steel. The wall*
~

are welded to the underframeand to the cab bulkheads. Apertures are providedfor the b l o w c
system filter panels. The blower systems cool the traction equipment and pressurise the ma-
chine room.
Ventilation ducts in the machine room floor allow the distribution of cooling air within the ma-
chine room.
Dirt, dust and moisturecan have an adverse effect on the equipment within the machine room.
The filter system is designed to prevent dirt & dust entering the sealed machine room. Any
dust and dirt allowed to enter the machine room will remain trapped within once the roof hatch
is reinstalled.

Roof Hatches

The area above the machine room is covered by three removable roof hatches. A pantograph
hatch is situated behind each cab. The pantograph hatches themselves are symmetrical and
can be installed at either end. Situated between the two pantograph hatches is the converter
hatch, which must be installed in the correct orientation. Lifting lugs are provided on the roof
hatches for attaching lifting equipment. A removable roof beam is situated at each end of the
converter hatch to provide support and a fixing point. The hatches are sealed around the en-
tire perimeter to prevent the entry of moisture and can be removed to allow access to equip-
ment within the machine room.

The roof hatches are of a ladder type construction, comprised of box section longitudinalrails
and lateral carlines that form the radius of the roof panels. Sheet steel forms the outer panels.
The pantograph hatch has an aperture for the oil cooler filter.
The hatches are secured in position by bolts along the side edges and special clamps on the
ends. The bolts, fitted with seals, are mounted in rubber bushes to allow for movement due
to shifts in the carbody during normal operation and expansions and contractions caused by
variations in temperature. The special clamps are used between the cab end of each panto-
graph hatch and the cab roof, to maintain an even pressure over the seals.

The roof structure is able to support two persons (weighing less than 125 kg. each) standing
within 600 mm of each other.
Each pantograph hatch presently has two "mushrooms" for ventilation. Some locomotives
may have a third, situated between the others. Where fitted, this third "mushroom" is blocked
off and inoperative.

The underframe is the main structural component of the locomotive carbody.

The underframe is a ladder type arrangement comprising continuous longitudinalfabricated


box section side sills and transverse members welded between the side sills. At each end of
the underframe is a headstock. The headstocks are the main transverse structural elements
of the underframe assembly and are the attachment points for the draftgear. Collision posts
are integrated into the headstocks and the cab design to provide protection for the cabin and
its occupants. The side sills are the major longitudinal elements of the underframe.

The transverse members provide lateral stiffness and mounting points for various equipment.
Traction pivot posts attached to transverse members on the underframe provide a point to
transfer the traction and braking forces between the bogie and locomotive carbody.

Jacking points located on the underframe provide locations for attaching equipment for lifting
of the locomotive. Locomotivejacks and alifting frame are the two methods available for lifting
the locomotive. Details of these pieces of lifting equipment are given in Section Tools and
Special Tools. Procedures for lifting the locomotive are given in Section Removal.

Cow Catcher

A cow catcher is fitted to each end of the locomotive and secured to the headstock. The shape
of the cow catcher prevents largeobjectsfrom being swept under the locomotive. Additionally,
it works as a crash barrier during in minor collisions.

The cow catcher can be removed for maintenance and access to some equipment situated
on the underfrarne.

Tolerances and Wear Limits List


c:.lim

There are no specific wear limits or tolerances applicable to surface coatings, decals or paint-
outs. The longevity of the surface coatings and decals depends upon their position on the
locomotive and environmental factors. Paint and signage at the front of the locomotive and
on the bogies is likely to wear fasterthan the side of the locomotive. In any case, the exposure,
maintenance and treatment will vary between locomotives. It is important that damage to the
surface finishes be repaired as soon as possible to prevent oxidation of the locomotive.
All paint chips that penetrate the primer coats must be repaired. Cracked, crazing or flaking
paint, even in the top coat, must be repaired.
To maintain its appearance, the locomotive should be recovered with a new top coat when
the paint shows signs of fading.
Decals and painted signage contain important information and should be replaced or re-
painted to maintain visibility.

Tools and Special Tools


&).I180

Normal refinishing shop equipment is required for application of surface coatings described
in this chapter. Protective equipment, such as gloves, particle respirators, ventilators and
positive pressure environment suits may be required when working with paints, primers, sol-
vents and dust generated when sanding. Refer to manufacturers instructions before using
paints or solvents.
Templates IAl41-00003 and IA141-00004 are required for signage on locomotive flanks.

Miscellaneous Material
@.izm
In addition to normal refinishing shop materials, such as clean lint free rags, masking covers,
rust preventative preparation and alike, plastic plugsand tubing are required to seal apertures
and cover threads. Emery paper, 400 grit, is required to roughen paint. Cleaning solvent such
as white spirit or trichloroethane is required for surface preparation and cleaning. Other ma-
terials may be required for painting as specified by the paint manufacturer.

Inspection and Repair

Surface Finishes

The locomotive is coated with a two-pack polyurethanepaint over an epoxy primer. This com-
bination of surface finishes ensures full protection against corrosion.

A top coat of Wattyl Poly-U 400 is applied over two coats of Wattyl Sigmacover CM primer
to protect the steel against corrosion. The locomotive must be refinished to the same specifi-
cation to maintain corrosion resistance.
Always observe the warnings when handling or applying surface finishes.

WARNING:
Epoxy and polyurethane paints, and their solvents can be harmful. Products
of these types are FLAMMABLE. Wear protective clothing; including a P3
type particle respirator and impervious gloves. Always follow the precautions
and directions of the manufacturer.

Surface Preparation

Repair any damage or corrosion found on the locomotive. If necessary, apply a corrosion inhi-
bitor to prevent the spread of corrosion.
Plug all threaded holes and cover exposed threads to prevent the contamination with debris
or paint.
Remove any sharp edges, corners and burrs from the material.
Remove any weld slag and spatter.
Where the surface is not being blast cleaned, remove all loose or flaking paint. Roughen the
existing paint using 400 grit emery paper.
Mask any areas not being painted.
Remove all foreign material, dirt, grease or other debris, then wipe the surface with solvent
and a clean, lint-free cloth. Dry the surface with another clean, dry, lint free cloth.
Remove all surface contaminates; grease, grime and oil processing residue using a suitable
solvent.

Check the compression of the door seal. The door seal should be compressed to a height of
15 mm around the entire perimeter of the door. If the door seal compression is incorrect or
inconsistent, adjust the door seal compression as described in Section Adjustments.
Water test the locomotive and ensure the cab door seals provide a water tight seal, refer to
the Preface of this Volume. Rectify any faults found.
Check the condition of the anti slip strips on the tread plates. If necessary, peel off theold strips
and replace with new anti slip material.

Adjustments

Door Seal Compression

Incorrect door seal compression is rectified by adding, or removing, shim plates between the
door hinges and the door frame on one side, and between the striker plate and the door frame
on the other side.
If the door seal compression is too great or too small, adding or removing shims to both the
hinges and the striker plate will reduce or increase the door seal compression respectively.
Uneven compression of the door seal on one side can be rectified by adding, or removing,
shim plates from either the door hinges or the striker plate.

Cab Door Position


. .
,-:.I
Adjusting the cab doors horizontal or vertical position should only be done under extreme
cumstances. To change the horizontal or vertical mounted position of the cab door, the dG7;p
a.*
must first be measured in the mounted position to determine the exact amount of vertical and
horizontal movement required. Once this has been determined, the door is then removed.
The old hinge screw locations are then welded in and ground flush, and new hinge mounting
holes are drilled and tapped in a location suitable to give the door the desired horizontal and
vertical position.

Functional Description
@.11W

Also refer to BESCO's technical documentation.The draftgear and couplers are used to con-
nect the locomotive to the trainset. The draftgear is secured to the headstock on the under-
frame and houses the knuckle coupler. The draftgear is installed compressed into a pocket
in the underframe. Once in position, retaining pins are removed and the draftgear expands
into the pocket for a secure fit. The draftgear absorbs buffing and shunting forces during oper-
ation of the locomotive.
The coupler pivots in the draftgear on a yoke pin which is held in position by a plate. A striker
block prevents damage to the draftgear and locomotive by limiting the couplers range of
movement. The striker block provides additional vertical support for the coupler.
Rods and levers act as uncoupler handles to release the coupler. The handles are designed
to allow release of the couplers from the side of the locomotive.

Functional Description
:/ll40

The locomotive is fitted with two rectangular windscreens in the end of each cab to provide
protection for cab occupants from external conditions. Guard grilles are fitted ahead of the
windscreens to prevent large objects from striking the windscreens.

Side windows are located on each cab side wall ahead of the doorway to provide peripheral
vision from the locomotive. Each window has afixed triangular portion, and a sliding rectangu-
lar window which may be opened to provide additional ventilation.

When closed, seals around the perimeter minimise the entry of water, dust and other debris.
Excess water is caught by a gutter inside the cab, below the window. A channel ducts water
from the gutter to a drain hole in the forward hand rail alcove. A rubber flap seals the drain
hole.

Functional Description
@.1140

The wipers and washers are used to enhance forward visibility in poor weather conditions by
removing rain water and debris from the windscreens. There are two independent wiper motors,
one for each windscreen, that operate the wiper arms. Water for the washer system is supplied
from a single reservoir located on the assistant driver's side of the cabin. The wiperlwasher sys-
tem is pneumatically operated using the locomotive air supply. In the event of a system failure,
the wipers can be actuated by hand using the manual levers attached to the wiper motor shafts.

3 Buffer casing 7 Adjusting nut
4 Rubber buffing elements

Buffers are located at either end of the locomotive.


Shocks generated during buffing and shunting are absorbed by the buffing elements. Once
compressed, the buffer plunger rests on stops located on the buffer casing, transmitting
shocks directly to the headstock. Recoil blocks absorb energy released as the buffer plunger
returns to its unloaded position.
An additional packing plate is added to the adjusting rod to obtain the correct installed length.
Refer to Section Assembly.

nents. Remove the build-up of oil from the bottom of blind threaded holes.
INSPECTION
The bogie and its weld on parts should be inspected for wear, fatigue, cracks and damage
when appropriate. Any sign of wear, fatigue, cracks or damage requires that the bogie frame
be tested using a suitable non-destructive testing method, as described in the Preface of this
Volume. Wear, cracks, fatigue or damage in one location on the bogie frame may result in
other damage elsewhere on the bogie frame. Due to this, the inspection and testing of the
bogie frame must be thorough.
WEAR
Wear occurs in areas where two or more components meet. Bolted connections, friction con-
nections and areas close to moving parts may be exposed to wear. Wear on the bogie frame
itself requires overhaul of the bogieframe. Wear of weld on parts may be repaired by replacing
the weld on part to manufacturers original specification.
FATIGUE AND CRACKING
Fatigue and cracking occurs where repetitive cyclic loads are applied to the bogie frame or
componentsfixedto the bogie frame. Fatigueor cracking of the bogieframe requires overhaul
of the bogie frame.
Fatigue or cracking in weld on items can be repaired by replacement of the weld on items to
manufacturers original specification. The bogie manufacturer must be consulted if fatigue
damage occurs on the bogie frame.

The wheels are a one piece Monobloc design. They are machined from a single casting and
manufactured to comply with India Railways standard IRS R 34-81. The tread is IRS Thick
Profile Type CSL 3040. The tread (4) and flanges (6) are heat treated for improved service
life. Each wheel is balanced to UIC 812-3 standards and the value of the residual imbalance
is stamped on the hub.
Wheel hub (10) and bore ( I l ) , tread profile (4) and brake disc mounting blocks (14) on the
web plate (2) are machined to precision tolerances. The wheel hub bore (11) surface is
ground to a 6.3 micron finish. A groove, the condemning line (1 2), on the back rim face (7)
provides a reference line for measuring the tread depth. Fillets (1,9) at the front and back of
the hub serve to distribute loadingsfrom the hub (10) to the web plate (2). Similarly, fillets (13,
8) on the front and rear of the rim serve to distribute the load from the rim to the web plate
(2).
Wheel treads and flanges are hardened during manufacture for increased durability. As the
wheel wears during locomotive operation, work hardening occurs and consolidates the tread
and flange. Consolidated material is more resistant to wear than the softer material further

beneath the surface. Thus, work hardening hardens the wheel treads and flanges as they
wear. In this way, as old material is worn off and new material exposed, the new material has
already been consolidated (work hardened) and thus provides the similar wear characteris-
tics as a new wheel. The depth of the work hardening varies in accordance with the usage.
As a guide, the work hardening usually extends 3 - 5 mm below the surface, after the wheel
has travelled approximately 3,000 km.
The wheels (1) and main gear are an inter-
ference fit onto the axle shaft. An oil gallery
(2) is locatedwithin the wheel (1) for "floating
OW' from the axle shaft using hydraulic pres-
sure. The gallery (2) is sealed with a screw
plug (3) and copper washer (4) to prevent
the ingress of dirt during service.

Vented brake discs are bolted to the front


and back of the web plate (2). The brake
discs are described in Brake Disc of this
Section.

Axle Box

Axle boxes provide a housing for the tap-


ered roller bearings and seats (2) for the pri-
I 2 mary suspension springs. The boxes also
provide a connection (3) for the guide rods
between the wheelset and the bogie frame
for the transmission of tractive and braking
effort. Webbing (4) between the bearing
2
housing (1) and the spring seats (2) forms a
rigid structure and mounting points for the
axle guide rods, refer to Guide Rod in this
Section. A land (5),cast as part of the axle
box, provides a vertical limit stop for the pri-
.0202107n mary suspension. A screw fitting (6)is pro-
vided in the bearing housing (1) for tempor-
ary installation of a grease nipple to lubricate
the bearing units. A screw plug and copper
washer are used to blank the outside of the
hole when not in use.
The axle boxes are manufactured from cast
aluminium alloy, machined to precision tol-
erances then x-ray tested for flaws. Helicoil
thread inserts are used instead of tapped
holes in the axle box. This ensuresfasteners
can be properly secured in the aluminium.

Split Ring

A two piece split ring (1) bolts to the inside


end of the axle box, over the labyrinth ring.
The split ring (1) is used, with the axle box
front cover to locate of the axle box relative
to the tapered bearing unit. The split ring (1)
is also used with the labyrinth ring to provide
a barrier against the ingress of larger debris
to the tapered bearing seal.

The split ring is machined and ground to


precision tolerances. Each split ring is a
matched pair of halves that must remain as
one set. Different halves from split ring sets
must not be mixed.

Guide Rod

The guide rod (I), bolted between the axle box (2) housing and bogie frame (3), provides a
longitudinalguide for the axle box (2), and therefore axle. Tractive and braking effort is trans-
mitted through the guide rods (1) to the bogie frame (3). There are four guide rods (1) on each
bogie. The guide rod (1) is fitted with spherical rubber joints, Spheriblocs (4). at each end,
which provide positive longitudinal guidance while allowing some lateral movement. Lateral
limit stops on the axle box front covers prevent excessive lateral movement of the axle.

Tapered Roller Bearing

NOTE:
Dirt and debris can contaminate the tapered roller bearings. It is important that the
bearings andjournals be kept absolutely clean and protected from damage during
all procedures. Foreign material can cause damage the bearing and/or journals on
the axle shaft.

Disassembly of the tapered roller bearing unit from the axle shaft requires special tools and
equipment.

Wheel

NOTE:
Wheels should not be cold pressed off an axle. Damage to the journals or wheel
hub bore could result.

NOTE:
Do not remove the plug in the oil
injection gallery untiljust before
the wheel is ready to be floated
from the axle.

Dismounting of the wheels from the axle


shaft requires the use of a conventional rail-
ways heavy workshop wheel press and
special tools. Dismounting of the wheels
and tapered roller bearing requires preci-
sion equipment and experienced handling.
The procedure uses pressurised fluid to
separate the interference fits between the
cylindrical surfaces of the wheel bore and axle journal. Once the hydraulic pressure exceeds
the pressure created by the interference fit, an oil film builds up between the contact areas.
The film reduces friction between the surface. The parts can easily be displaced without scor-
ing the mating surfaces.
An oil gallery (2) is located within the wheel (1) for "floating o f f from the axle shaft using hy-
draulic pressure. The gallery is sealed with a screw plug (3) and copper washer (4) to prevent
the ingress of dirt during operation.
AThyssen Henschel Model 729101 Boil injectiontool is recommendedfor floating-off wheels
and main gear. The procedure described in this Section assumes the recommended equip-
ment is used.
The work area, joint surfaces and oil gallery must be completely clean; free of all swarf, dirt
and other contaminates.
Clean the wheelset thoroughly. The area around oil gallery plug must be completely clean.
Entry of foreign material to the gallery will damage the axle journal and/or wheel hub.
Mount the wheelset in a wheel press.
Assemble and ready the Thyssen Henschel special tool according to the manufacturers rec-
ommendations, using Shell Hypoid GX, or equivalent, as a lubricant. Bleed the system to re-
move all air.

located near or around the plug (2).

Remove the plug (2) from thewheel hub (1).

Connect the injector and high pressure hose


to the wheel hub.

NOTE:
Do not allow the oil pressure to ex-
ceed 300 MPa. Over pressure can
cause permanent deformation of
the wheel hub bore.

Slowly pump the injector until oil exudes at


the joint between the wheel hub and the
axle.

NOTE:
Twng to press the wheel off before the hub bore and gallery is fully lubricated will
damage the wheel hub and/or axle journal.

Maintain the pressure for approximately 10 minutes to fully fill the seat and gallery with the oil.

NOTE:
Do not interrupt pressing-off of the wheel once the oil groove becomes visible.
Stopping or pausing will cause the oil film to leak away from the contact surfaces
and the wheel hub will seize on the axle. Cb
ro
Press the wheel from the axle using the wheel press.The wheel must be kept moving t h r o u g
out the procedure. Do not allow the wheel to stop moving. Oil pressure and the press f&
must be kept constant once the procedure commences until the wheel is clear of the axle.
Once the wheel is removed, cover the axle journals and wheel hub to prevent damage or
contamination.

If necessary, remove the brake discs from the wheel as described in Brake Disc in this
Section.

Brake Disc

Disassembly of both brake discs from the wheel requires dismounting of the wheel as
described in Wheel in this Section.

Removal of one brake disc only is not recommended. If one disc is defective, all other brake
discs on the axle must be removed and inspected for defects.

Removal of the brake discs from the wheel is described in Chapter 16, BSI-Wheel-Mounted
Brake Disc R920G of Volume F14, Suppliers Documentation.

Main Gear

NOTE:
The main gear should not be cold
pressed from an axle. Damage to
the journals or gear hub bore
could result.

Dismounting of the main gear from the axle


shaft requires the use of a conventional rail-
ways heavy workshop wheel press and
special tools. Dismounting of the main gear
and tapered roller bearing requires preci-
sion equipment and experienced handling.
The procedure uses pressurised fluid to
separate the interference fits between the
cylindrical surfaces of the gear bore and
axle journal. Once the hydraulic pressure
exceeds the pressure created by the inter-
ference fit, an oil film builds up between the
contact areas. The film reduces friction be-
tween the surface. The parts can easily be
displaced without scoring the mating sur-
faces.
An oil gallery (2) is located within the gear (1) for "floating off" from the axle shafl using
hydraulic pressure.'Thk gallery is sealed with a screw plug (3) and copper washer (4) to
prevent the ingress of dirt during operation.

necessary.

Inspect the rubber areas (3) for tears, cracks or deterioration. Replace the Spheribloc if worn,
or the rubber is loose, deteriorated or detaching from the collar. No damage is permissible
to the rubber or collar of the Spheribloc.

Spheribloc Axial Wear Test

The test for axial wear in the Spheribloc is to be carried out on the Spheribloc while mounted
in the guide rod.
Before measuring the Spheribloc for axial wear, remove the guide rod from the bogie and
store for 48 hours.
Position the guide rod in a press and support the Spheribloc collar on a piece of steel tube.
Ensure there is sufficient space within the tube to allow clearance of the rubber part of the
Spheribloc. The collar of the Spheribloc must be supported around its entire perimeter while
conducting the test.
Apply an axial load of 50 kg to the Spheribloc cross-pin, then position the plunger of a dial
indicator on the shoulder of the cross-pin and zero the dial indicator.
Increasethe load on the cross-pin to 1,500 kg, one time only, then decrease the load to 50 kg
and maintain for one minute.
Check the reading on the dial indicator. If the deflection is less than 0.6 mm, then turn-over
the guide rod and repeat the procedure on the other side of the Spheribloc. If the deflection
on the other side is less than 0.6 mm, then the Spheribloc is serviceable. Otherwise, the
Spheribloc must be replaced.

Visually inspect the axle shaft for cracks, damage or defects.

Inspect the axle shaft for small imperfections; - scratches, ghost lines, shadow marks, hair-
lines, stringers or fine seams. These types of small imperfections do not extend below the
surface or cause separation of the metal, but are visible to an unaided eye. These small im-
perfections can be blended out using either a honing stone, or fine emery cloth and a wooden
block shaped to match the diameter. If in doubt, use non-destructive testing to check for sub-
surface defects, refer to NDT lnspection in this Section.

Visually inspect the bearing (4), main gear
(5), wheel (2) and labyrinth ring journals for
circumferential grooves (1). Grooves indi-
cates slippage due to improper tolerances.
Where slippage is indicated, check the toler-
ances and replace any component not
within specification.
Check the bearing journal for evidence of
overheating. Discolouration from overheat-
ing usually results in a blue colour that ap-
pears to fade at the edges. Discolourationis
acceptable providing that there is no separ-
0202017 ation visible in the metal. If in doubt, use
non-destructive testing to check for defects,
refer to NDT Inspection in this Section.
Check the bearingjournal for corrosion. Corrosion is identified through discolouration,scaling

Minor damage to the thread can be repaired with a blind M I 6 tap.

NDT Inspection

NOTE:
Magnetic fields can damage the wheel bearings. If magnetic testing is used, then
the axle shaft must be demagnetised after the procedure.

Test the axle for cracks, flaws or other discontinuities using ultrasonic or magnetic test equip-
ment. Sub-surface flaws that are not apparent during a visual inspection will show up as
peaks or spikes, or as a noticeable change in the magnetic flux, in the output from the test
equipment. Non-destructive testing is the only method to checkthe axlesfor sub-surface dis-
continuities. Refer to the Preface of thisvolume for more information on non-destructive test-
ing techniques.
Axles with sub-surface flaws or discoiinuities should be referred to the manufacturer.

Wheel

This part describes inspection of the wheels. There are additional inspections required for the
wheels when installed on an axle as a wheelset. Refer to Wheelset in this Section.

The wheel contour (tread, flanges and root) are subject to wear during operation. Defects in
the wheel can occur as a result of poor operating conditions or, in rare circumstances, from
a flaw in the material. Most wear and some types of damage can be corrected by reprofiling
the tread contour.
The contour of serviceable wheels can be reprofiled by machiningthe tread and flange. There
is a finite amount of material that can be removed from the wheel before it becomes unser-
viceable. Where machining reduces the wheel diameter or flange dimension to less than the
allowable minimum, then the wheel is condemned.
Although the amount of material which needs to be removed for full restoration of the wheel
profile can be calculated, reprofiling operations are often guided by the in-service experience
of the railway operator and their understanding of the track conditions and operational re-
quirements. The amount of material to remove when reprofiling a wheel is a balance between
obtaining the best contour profile and the maximum service life from the wheels. When repro-
filing the wheel, the minimum amount possible should be removed from the tread and flange
to retain the consolidated areas and maximise the service life of the wheel.

Restoring the full flange thickness and contour generally requires removal of a large amount
of material. This often removes the consolidated material exposing softer material beneath
the surface. In some cases, not restoring the flange thickness to the full width may be more
economical and provide better wear characteristics than restoring the full dimension.
Wheelsets (axle and wheels) are matched sets. Care should be taken to keep the wheelset
together, where possible. In the event one of the wheels requires replacement, it must be the
same diameter as the other wheel on the axle. Usually, a single wheel is not replaced unless
absolutely necessary. It is not recommended that a new wheel be machined down greatly to
match the diameter of the other wheel. In such cases, both wheels should be replaced.
Wheels wear differently depending on many factors including locomotive condition, wheel
and axle loads, wheel and track condition, operating frequency, load and braking conditions.
Under normal operating conditions wheels generally exhibit one of three types of wear to the
tread and flange:- predominate Flange Wear, predominate Tread Wear or Even Wear. Ex-
cessively worn or defective wheels can exhibit other characteristics, refer to Wheel Wear De-
fects & Damage in this Section for more information.
Wheels should also be inspected for; slid rim, shattered rim, spread rim, sub-surface defect,
shelled tread, thin flange, vertical flange, thermal cracks, overheated wheel, built-up tread,
high flange, grooved tread, cracked or broken flange, cracked or broken rim, thin rim, broken
or cracked plate, loose wheel or out of gauge condition.

Indian Railways WAPB Wheelset
Maintenance and Repair Manual

Some types of damage to wheel tread and flanges can require removal of a large amount of
material to correct the condition. Before reprofiling a damaged wheel, measure the tread and
flange to determine how much material must be removed to properly correct the defect. Any
reprofiling must only be undertaken if the defect can be corrected and the wheel diameter re-
mains greater than the minimum dimension specified in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits
List. In some instances, it may not be economical to reprofile a wheel if the remaining tread
is not sufficient to provide an adequate service life before the wheel must be removed from
service.
Wheels with serious defects are to be condemned, withdrawn from service and scrapped.
Serious defects cannot be corrected as they represent an operational hazard. Defective
wheels can become highly stressed and may fail suddenly and therefore must not be used.

Flange Wear

As the locomotivetraverses through corners


and bends, the wheel flange and root wears.
During cornering, more of the wheel flange
is in contact with the rail than in straight-line
operation. Root wear occurs at the Gauge
Line; the point where the wheel flange con-
tacts the outside edge of the rail. The flange
is worn as its extents pass the edge of the
rail in corners.
Predominate wear on the flanges is usually
identified as a depression worn into the
flange at the gauge line. Refer to Measuring
Wheels in this Section for information for
more details on measuring flange and root
wear. Usually, the amount of root wear de-
termines the amount of material to be re-
moved from the wheel to restore the correct
profile. After reprofiling, a small groove,
known as a witness groove, is allowable in
the root area. Refer to Machining Tread
Contour in this Section.

Tread Wear

Predominate wear on the tread is usually


identified as a depression worn into the
tread and a large burr forming on the outside
edge of the tread. As the tread is consoli-
dated in operation the packed material
spreads, exiting between the tread and rail
at the inside edge of the wheel.
When reprofiling the wheel, the burr should
be completely removed and the minimum
amount removed from the consolidated
tread.

Even Wear

Characteristic wear that occurs during nor-


mal operation produces even wear on both
the tread and flanges. There is evidence of
wear on the tread, flange and root. A burr
also forms on the outside edge of the wheel.
The amount of material worn from the tread
and flange is approximately equal. This
even wear characteristic indicates that the
wheel loads are within tolerances and the
locomotive is operating within its design
parameters. Both the tread and flanges are
consolidated through work hardening dur-
ing operation to a similar degree.
Generally in these conditions, the root thick-
ness determines how much material must
be removed from the tread to restore the
profile. The burr should be completely re-
moved and the minimum amount removed
from the consolidated tread.

Slid Tread

/ A slid flat spot on the tread occurs when the


-
wheel draos on the track even for a short
distance. Wheels with flat spots of -re
h
than 50 mm in length or width, or w h e w 0
or more adjoining spots of g r e a t e p a n
40 mm diameter, should be inspect& for
sub-surface defects and overheating.
If possible, reprofile the wheel to correct the
defect, otherwise the wheel is condemned.

Wheels with shattered rims are condemned.

Spread Rim

Internal defects in the wheel can cause the


front face of the rim to widen out for a short
distance. Spreading rim is usually accompa-
nied by a flattening of the tread and cracks
or shelling may also be evident; and is often
associated with shattered rim.
Spread rim condition is usually less than 300
mm long and should not be confused with
uniform burring of the wheel rim caused by
J
tread or even wear.
Wheels with spread rims are condemned.

Sub-surface Defects

Sub-surface defects usualiy become ap-


parent during wheel turning operations.
Voids, delamination or flakes of material
may split off from the wheel due to a loca-
lised underlying defect in the wheel during
turning.
If possible, reprofile the wheel to correct the
defect. The reprofiling should remove the
entire defect and at least 2 mm of the under
lying tread without further defects. The
wheel is condemned if defects continue to
appear during turning.

Shelled Tread

Shelled tread occurs when pieces of metal


break out of the tread in several places al-
most continuously around the wheel.

Excessive shelling is often the result of ex-


cessive load or speed, poor track condition,
or a continuous sub-surface defect in the
wheel tread.
If possible, reprofile the wheel to correct the
1 0202311n defect, otherwise the wheel is condemned.

Thin Flange

Thin flange condition occurs when the wheel


flange thickness is less than the minimum
dimension specified in Section Tolerances
and Wear'Limits List.
Allowing the flanges to wear thin will greatly
reduce the service life of the wheel due to
the large amount of material that must be re-
moved to correct the condition. Regular
maintenance of the wheel treads helps to re-
duce flange wear, therefore improving the
service life of the wheel.
Vertical flange may also occur w i t h a n

Vertical Flange

r- 7 Vertical flange condition occurs when the

fTh
I1 flange has excessive contact with the inside
of the rail and possibly as a result of im-
proper wheel gauge. Contactwith the side of
the rail causes the flange to wear perpen-
dicular to the axle. The flange increases in
height and the angle becomes more acute
as the wheel tread wears.
Correcting vertical flange condition requires
the removal of a very large amount of ma-
terial, typically as much as 20 mm. It may be
possible to correct the condition by reprofil-
0202304 ing the wheel depending upon wheel wear.
Care must be taken to identify and correct the cause of the vertical flange before the wheelset
is returned to service. Wheels with vertical flange that cannot be corrected are condemned.
High flange or thin flange may also occur with vertical flange.

If possible, reprofile the wheel to correct the defect, otherwise the wheel is condemned.

Thermal Cracks

1 - -
Thermal crackina on the rim faces, flanae or
tread can result from hot stamp marks,
chuck marks, or nicks in the rim surface. A
dragging tread cleaning device may cause
thermal cracks.
Wheels with shallow thermal cracks should
be removed from service and reprofiled, if
possible. Care must be taken to ensure that
all the cracked material is completely re-
moved.
Wheels with radial cracks that extend to the front or back face of the rim are condemned. If
left in service, such cracks may progress into the wheel plate causing failure of the wheel.
Also see Overheated Wheels, as follows.

Overheated Wheels

Severe overheating of wheels is visible as reddish-brown or blue discolouration on the rims


or plate that fades toward the outside edge.

Overheating can occur from exposure to fire or a dragging wheel. A dragging tread cleaning
device may also cause overheating. Where a wheel is found to have been overheated, the
cause should be identified and remedial action should be taken, as appropriate.
Overheated wheels become highly stressed and, if subsequent thermal cracking occurs,
could fail instantaneously.
Overheating of wheels cannot be rectified:-never use wheels that have been overheated.
Overheated wheels are condemned. When one or both wheels of a set show evidence of se-
vere overheating, both wheels should be removed, and the axle shaft must be inspected be-
fore reuse.
Also see Thermal Cracks, above.

Built-up Tread

Tread build-up is caused by metal from the


wheel tread being heated to a plastic state,
then being dragged around the tread.
Built-up tread is often associated with the
sliding or spinning of the wheel under brak-
ing or acceleration, respectively.
If possible, reprofile the wheel to correct t b
defect. The reprofiling should remove all&
build-up and at least 2 mm of the under ly
p
tread. Built-up tread is usually much har er
,

than normal wheel material and will require


more than the usual care when being ma-
chined.

High Flange

High flange condition occurs when the wheel tread is allowed to wear excessively.

As the wheel tread wears, the flange vertical dimension becomesgreater causing contact with
the side of the rail. Contact with the side of the rail causes the flange to wear almost perpen-
dicular to the axle. As the wheel wears the flange increases in height and the angle becomes
more acute. If corrected before too much material is worn away, reprofiling the wheel may
correct the condition.
If possible, reprofile the wheel to correct the defect, otherwise the wheel is condemned.

Grooved Tread

Circumferential grooves can occur in the


tread as a result of defects in the rail.
Wheels with grooves greater than 3 mm
deep should be reprofiled if possible to cor-
rect the defect; otherwise, the wheel is con-
demned.

Cracked or Broken Flange

Cracked or broken flanges often occur as a


result of a severe impact shock. Locomo-
tives that have been involved in a collision or
severe derailment should be thoroughly in-
spected for damage to the wheels or axles.
Wheels with cracked or broken Ranges are
condemned. Never use wheels that have
severe damage to the flange. Cracked or
broken flanges cannot be rectified and could
fail instantaneously. These wheels must be
removed from service immediately.

Loose Wheel

A wheel can become loose from incorrect tolerances on the axle journal or the wheel bore.
Loose wheels are often associated with an out of gauge condition as described below.

Wheelsets with suspected loose wheels must have both wheels contact tested. If either wheel
fails the contact test, then remove the wheels from the axle. The hub bore and axle journals
are then checked for the correct dimension, refer to Section Technical Data. Replace any
damaged or out of specification parts. Out of specification parts (wheels or axle) are con-
demned.

Out of Gauge

Out of gauge occurs when the distance be-


tween the back face of the rims on a pair of
mounted wheels is not within the specifica-
tion in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits
List.
As wheels should have the correct gauge
when mounted or re-mounted, out of gauge
wheels are generally associated with loose
wheel condition, described above. Check
the wheel positions in relation to the axle
centre line. Float-off the out of gaugewheel,
or both if necessary, from the axle shan.
Check the hub bore and axle journals for the
correct dimension, refer to Section Techni-
cal Data. Replace any damaged or out of
specificationparts. Out of specificationparts
(wheels or axle) are condemned.

Measuring of wheels must always be performed according to the prevailing workshop sta

performed with great care and accuracy. Many of the critical wheel dimensions cannot 68
f
measured directly, but must be obtained at specific points, often from projected lines. Conse-
quently, most railway operators have developed tools and gauges appropriateto their wheel,
tread and fleet requirements. Generally, these tools use the rear rim and flange as the datum
Worn wheels may not be perfectly round. All measurements should be taken in 3 places, ap-
proximately 60" apart around the wheel, then averaged if necessary.
The overall size and condition of the wheel tread diameter, flange, tyre and root must be taken
into account whenever reprofiling the wheel.

NOTE:
These illustrations are not to scale and must not be used to calculate, project
wheel sizes or profiles.

Maximum allowable wear on root thickness is 6 rnm. However, it is generally more economical
to reprofile the wheel when root wear is approximately 5 mm.

Tread Burr

As the tread is consolidated in operation the


packed material spreads, exiting between
the tread and rail at the edge of the wheel.
When reprofiling the wheel, the burr should
be completely removed, leaving a chamfer
atthe inside edge of the wheel. The chamfer
should extend 9 mm onto the rim front face
and approximately 6 mm into the wheel

Machining Tread Contour

There are two types of wheel correction; full contour correction, which restores the wheel pro-
file to the original specification, and partial correction that is usedto maintainthe wheel profile.

The objective of reprofiling the wheel is to correct improper contour or minor defects in the
tread or flange, while removing the minimum amount of material from the wheel. Minimising
the amount of material removed provides a longer service life for the wheel by allowing a
greater number of future reprofiling operations. As the tread and flange material is consoli-
dated by work hardening during operation, removing the minimum amount of material allows
the wheel to operate on consolidated material. Removing a large amount of material will ex-
pose the softer material beneath. This softer material will initially wear quicker than the con-
solidated material.
As a general guide when reprofiling a wheel contour, 3 mm of material is removed from the
tread to restore 1 mm of flange thickness.
Restoring the full contour may remove the
2 consolidatedareas from the flange and root.
I The consolidated areas should be retained
as much as possible.

1
When machining the flange (2), a small
groove is allowable in the root area. This
groove is called a witness groove (1). In

-
2 some cases, leaving a small witness groove
(1) will provide amore economical use of the
material, and provide better wear character-
istics, than restoring the full contour. The
depth of the witness groove (1) must be less
0202320r - than the dimension specified in Section Tol-
erances and Wear Limits List.

Full Contour Correction

2 Wear contour
3 Machined contour

Full contour correction removes a very large
amount of consolidated material from the
wheel exposing the softer, non-hardened
material. Initial wheel wear may be greater
than normal until the tread and flange areas
are consolidated. Because of the amount of
material removed and initial wear, full con-
tour correction should only be carried out
when absolutely necessary.
Full contour correction is usually performed with the wheelset removed from the bogie, or if
necessary, on an unmounted wheel.
Remove the axle boxes, as described in Section Removal.
Either remove the tapered roller bearings, or cover them to prevent contamination with debris
and cutting swarf.

Mount the wheelsets in a wheelset lathe, or an individual wheel in a wheel lathe.

Partial Correction

Partial correction preserves the areas con-


solidated during operation, minimising
further wear on the tread and flange, there-
fore extendingservice life of the wheels. The
procedure is usually performed on an under
floor wheel lathe below a locomotive or
bogie assembly. Axle boxes are provided
with tie-down hooks, which must be used to
secure the bogie during the wheel machin-
ing operation.

As underfloor wheel lathes use the wheel


flange to centre the wheel on the lathe, any
irregularities and out-of-round of either the
flange or tread is transferred to the new pro-
file. Wheels should be checked for damage and out of round, etc, before mounting in an un-
derfloor wheel lathe. Where the out-of-round exceeds the dimension given in Section Toler-
ances and Wear Limits List, the wheelset must be dismounted and the problems corrected
on a wheelset lathe. It is recommended that one of every three wheel corrections should be
done on a wheelset lathe to minimise the accumulated of out-of-round.
Check the wheel for out-of-round and concentricity to the axle shaft. Wheels with excessive
out-of-round should be reprofiled in a wheel lathe. Wheels that are not concentric to the axle
shaft should be dismounted. Inspect the wheels and axles, then rectify any faults before the
wheel is reprofiled.

Check the condition of the wheel, tread and flange. Remove the wheelset and machine in a
wheelset lathe, if necessary.
Place locomotive, or bogie assembly, on the underfloor wheel lathe.

Wheel Hub Bore -Visual lnspection

Visually inspect the wheel hub bore for cracks or damage.


Inspect the wheel hub bore for small imperfections; - scratches, ghost lines, shadow marks,
hairlines, stringers or fine seams. These types of small imperfections do not extend below the
surface or cause separation of the metal, but are visible to an unaided eye. These small im-
perfections can be blended out using either a honing stone or fine emery cloth and a wooden
block shaped to match the bore. If in doubt, use non-destructive testing to check for sub-sur-
face defects, refer to NDT lnspection in this Section.
Small imperfections on the wheel hub bore may be repaired if:

less than 50 mm long &


that the total length of imperfections 6 - 50 mm long is less than 100 mm at any o n R
end of the bore
Visually inspect the wheel hub bore for circumferential grooves. Grooves indicate slippage
due to improper tolerances. Where slippage is indicated, check the tolerances and replace
any component not within specification.
Check the wheel hub bore for corrosion. Corrosion can be identified through discolouration,
scaling and flaking. The colour is constant with well defined edges. Fretting corrosion can be
removed using fine emery cloth or a honing stone.

Two methods are available for the installation of the main gear to the axle shaft; shrink fitting
or cold press-on.
Although the main gears are cold pressed onto the axle in production, shrink fitting is recom-
mended for re-mounting. Shrink fitting involves no risk of damage to either the main gear hub
or axle journal and provides the best fit between main gear and axle. Shrink fitting is carried
out without the aid of lubricants.

are given in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List. Do not install the wheels until after the
main gear passes the contact test.
File the plot diagrams in the locomotive or wheelset logbook.

Wheel

The wheels, and main gear, are an interference fit onto the axle shaft. In production, new
wheels are cold pressed onto the axle shaft journals. However, shrink fitting is recommended
for subsequent re-mounting. Shrink fitting involves no risk of damage to either the wheel hub
or axle journal and provides the best fit between wheel and axle.
Wheels must be seated correctly in relation to the centre line of the axle and positioned the
correct dimension apart. The procedure to establish the axle centre is described in Prepara-
tion in this Section.

Preparation

NOTE:
Magnetic fields can damage the wheel bearings. If magnetic testing equipment is
used, the axle shaft, main gear and wheels must be demagnetised after the test
procedure.

Test the wheels and axle shaft for sub-surface defectsor discontinuities using a non-destruc-
tive testing technique. Refer to NDT Inspection in this Section.
Mount the main gear assembly, bearings and labyrinth rings as described in Main Gear in this
Section.
Install the brake discs to the wheels, refer to Brake Disc in this Section.

Wheel lnstallation - Shrink Fit Method


WARNING:
Shrink fitting the wheel to the axle require some components to be heated,
Always follow the workshop safety practices to avoid personal injury when
handling hot parfs.

Prepare the wheel for installation as described in Preparation in this Section. Ensure that the
main gear and bearings, and brake discs are installed before mounting the wheel.

NOTE:
Ensure the wheel temperature does not exceed 250 @. Use heat indicating
crayons to monitor the temperature of the wheel.

Place the wheel in a furnace, heated to 250 "C.for 120 - 140 minutes. The furnace tempera-
ture and heating time must be monitored to ensure the wheel temperature never exceeds
250 O C .

NOTE:
Once the wheel is removed from the heat, it will begin to cool, and therefore
shrink. lnstallation of the wheel must proceed quickly, but with great care.

Remove the wheel from the furnace and position the wheel in a railway wheel press.
Ensure the wheel is square to the axle, then position the wheel onto the axle until the inner
face of the wheel rim is the correct distance from the axle centre line, or opposite wheel. Use
of a tool or jig fabricated to correctly locate the wheel can assist the installation process. If
necessary, adjust the position of the wheel before it cools and shrinks on the axle.
Allow the wheel to cool unassisted to ambient temperature, then check the wheel is correctly
located in relation to the axle centre line. If the wheel is not correctly located, it must be dis-
mounted and remounted in the correct position.
Mount the other wheel to the axle shaft if required.
Wait 48 hours after installation then conduct a wheel contact test. Specifications are given in
Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List.

Wheel Installation - Cold Press Method

Wear on the interference fit between the wheel hub bore and axle journal caused by the cold
press mounting can reduce the service life of the wheelset. Cold press-on of wheels is only
recommendedfor mounting new wheels onto new axles. Refer to the beginning of this Section
for more information.

Prepare the wheel for installation as described in Preparation in this Section. Ensure that the
main gear and bearings, and brake discs are installed before mounting the wheel.
Check the contact surfaces for damage scratches or burrs. Small scratches can be blended
out using emery cloth and burrs can be removed with a honing stone.

Carefully align the axle, wheel hub and wheel press using a sprit level and a hair protractor,
if necessary. The wheel must fit perfectly against the mandrel (yoke spar) of the press to en-
sure that an even pressure is applied around the entire wheel hub.
Apply sufficient Molykote Paste 6 lubricant, or equivalent, to prevent scoring either the wheel
hub or axle journal during installation.

Set the press for a contact force of 779 - 1,026 kN. Ensure the pressure recorder is operating.
Press the wheel onto the axle until the inner face of the wheel rim is the correct distance from
the axle centre line, or opposite wheel. The dimension is described in Section Tolerances and
Wear Limits List. Use of a tool or jig fabricated to correctly locate the wheel can assist the in-
stallation process.
Allow the wheelset to stand for at least 2 hours, then check the wheels are correctly located
in relation to the labyrinth ring shoulder. Refer to Wheelset - Measure in Section Inspection

Adjustments

Wheel and Axle Load Adjustment

All springs vary slightly from batch to batch due to the manufacturing process. The springs
used on WAP-5 locomotives are marked with one or two aluminium bands to identify their
tolerance range. The number of bands corresponds to the number of 2 mm thick compensat-
ing plates placed below the spring. Before adjusting the wheel or axle loadings, check to en-
sure that all the primary and secondary suspension springs, and the compensating plates
meet the criteria described in Chapters 2.3 and 2.4, Primary and Secondary Suspension.
Mismatched, damaged or worn springs, compensating plates, insulating bases and/or dam-
aged bogie frame will result in improper wheel and axle loads. Incorrect adjustment of the
wheel and axle loadings, or other faults in the bogie or suspension system causes poor bogie
performance and increased wheel wear. Record all adjustments in the locomotive logbook
for future reference.
Adjustment of the wheel and axle loads is performed in the following sequence:
Adjust individual wheel loads
Adjust axle loads
Check bump stop clearances

Wheel Load Adjustment

General information

Wheel load measurement is performed on a bogie situated on a weighbridge.

The bogie is to be separated from the locomotive, with the traction motors and link rod pivot
head installed. A mass of 67 kg (half the weight of the link rod) is added to the bogie frame
at the centre of the link rod end transom. The primary suspension dampers must be discon-
nected from the bogie frame lugs. Place packing between the axle box and the damper to
ensure the damper will not foul during the procedure. The secondary suspension springs, lat-
eral, vertical and yaw dampers are to be removed, and half the weight of the yaw dampers
(19.1 kg) is applied to the yaw damper mounting points on either side of the bogie frame. The
masses of the secondary springs, vertical and lateral dampers are included in the "Applied
Body Mass". An "Applied Body Mass" of 130 & kN is to be applied evenly to the bogie frame
secondary suspension spring seats using hydraulic rams. Do not apply a combined load to
the centre of the bogie frame. The body load is equal to half the mass of the locomotive and
includes masses for the secondary dampers and springs. The "Applied Body Mass" is equal
to the maximum allowable locomotive weight for a nominal axle load of 19.7 tonne.
Adjustment of the wheel loads is achieved by adding compensating plates between the pri-
mary suspension spring insulating base and the primary suspension spring, as described
below. Compensating plates are available in 1.O, 2.0,3.0 and 4.0 mm thicknesses. The thick-
ness of compensating plates between each of the two springs on an axle box must be equal.
The minimum number of 2 mm thick compensating plates must correspond to the number of
aluminium bands on the primary suspension spring. A reduction in clearance between the
axles and bogie frame results if the number of 2 mm plates is less than the number of bands.

Adjustment procedure

Position the bogie assembly on a suitable weighbridge with each wheel centrally positioned
over a load cell. Prepare the bogie as previously described and apply the "Applied Body
Mass".

Measure and record the individual wheel loads.

The difference betweenwheel loads on any axle, and between axles must not exceed 400 kg,
also refer to Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List. Should the differences measured ex-
ceed specification, add test shims between the wheels and the rail until the wheel loads are
within the correct range.

Packing individual axle box springs (i.e. both spring units per axle box must be packed evenly
when adjusting wheel loads) will affect both wheel loads on a diagonal, however the absolute
load change per wheel is difficult to predict. Generally, the net diagonal load will change by
approximately 150 kg per 1 millimetre packer per axle box. The net load on the diagonal in-
cluding the packed wheel will increase, the other will decrease by the same amount.

Remove the "Applied Body Mass" from the bogie frame.


Jack up the wheels and place test shims between the wheels and the rail. The lightest wheel
should be shimmed first. Record the number and thickness of test shims below each wheel.
Lower the wheels and re-check the wheel loads.
Repeatthe procedure until the wheel loads are within specification. A trial and error approach
may be required when shimming the wheels in order to achieve the specified loadings.
Once the wheel loads are within specification, install compensating plates equal to the thick-
ness of the test shims, between the insulating bases and primary suspension spring as de\,
scribed below. 0\
ch
Disconnect the axle guide rods as described in Section Removal.
<
Disconnect the drive coupling between the traction motor and gear box as described in
Chapter 2.6, Transmission.
Disconnect the gear box support arm as described in Chapter 2.6, Transmission.
Raise the bogie from the wheelset, remove the suspension springs then install the required
thickness of compensating plates between the insulating bases and the primary suspension
springs. DO NOT divide the test shim thickness between the two springs. Never position the
compensating plates above the springs or weld the plates to the axle box.
Remove the test shims between the wheels and rail.
Reassemble the bogie once the compensating plates are correctly installed.

Axle Load Adjustment


General Information

Axle load measurement is performed on a weighbridge with both bogies and the locomotive
fully assembled. Axle load measurement is performed with both fully assembled bogies and
the link rods installed.

Adjustment of the axle loads is achieved by adding compensating plates between the bogie
frame and the secondary suspension spring insulating bases.

Axle loads are adjusted by adding compensating plates under the two secondary springs
closest to the lightest axle or the two springs on the lightest side of the bogie.

To adjust axle loads, packers must be placed under the two secondary springs closest to the
lightest axle. Each one millimetre of packer should increase the load nearest the packed
springs by approximately 12 kg and decrease the other axle on the same bogie by the same
amount.
It is possible to adjust both wheel loads on one side of a bogie along with the diagonally oppo-
site wheel loads on the second bogie by packing under one set of secondary springs only.
Similar to individual bogie wheel loads, it is difficult to predict the absolute load change. How-
ever, it can be predicted that the net diagonal increase (over four wheel loads) would be 70
kg per one millimetre packer per secondary spring set. A corresponding net decrease would
occur on the other diagonal wheel loads.
Compensating plates are available in 1.O, 3.0, 5.0 and 8.0 mm thicknesses. The minimum
number of 5 mm thick compensating plates must correspond to the number of aluminium
bands on the secondary suspension spring. A reduction in clearance between the bogie
frame and locomotive underframe will result if the number of 5 mm plates is less than the
number of bands. Refer to Chapter 2.4, Secondary Suspension. Cr,

Adjustment procedure

Position the locomotive on a suitable weighbridge with each wheel centrally positioned over
a load cell.

Measure and record the individual axle loads.


The axle loads must be within the range 19,306 - 20,094 kg and wheel loads, as previously
described, must be within 4% of the measured axle load.
Jack up the bogie and place test shims between the wheels of the lightest axle or side and
the rail. Record the number and thickness of test shims.
Lower the bogie and re-check the axle loads.
Repeat the procedure until the axle loads are within specification. A trial and error approach
may be required when shimming the wheels in order to achieve the desired results.
Once the axle loads are within specification, compensating plates equal to the thickness of
the test shims are installed between the bogie frame and the secondary suspension spring
insulating bases.
Both bogies must be disconnected from the locomotive and the carbody raised to install the
compensating plates. The procedure to disconnect the bogies from the locomotive is de-
scribed in Chapter 2.4, Secondary Suspension.
Installthe required thickness of compensating plates between the bogie frameand secondary
suspension springs insulating bases. Do not divide the test shim thickness between the two
springs. Never position the compensating plates above the springs or weld the plates to the
bogie frame.
After the compensating plates have been installed, both bogies must be re-connected to the
locomotive. The procedure to connect the bogies to the locomotive is described in
Chapter 2.4, Secondary Suspension.
Recheck the axle loads. If necessary, repeat the procedure until the axle loadings are within
specification.
Check the bump stop clearances, described as follows.

Bump Stop Clearance

The running clearances between the bump stops must be measured whenever a wheelset
is installedto the bogie frame or when the bogie is reconnectedto the locomotive. Out of spec-
ification clearances indicate either an assembly problem, or faulty or damaged components:
- possibly a damaged bogie frame. Compensating plates should not be added or removed
from the primary or secondary suspension to correct vertical clearances. Altering the com-
pensating plate thickness could have an adverse effect on bogie performance.

The locomotive is to be fully assembled with both bogies attached.


Park the locomotive on a section of level track.
Apply the parking brakes, refer to Chapter 4, Vehicle Operation of Volume A, Driver's Manual.
Isolate the locomotive electrical systems as described in the Preface of this Volume.

Functional Description
Q I140

Isolation and absorption of shock loads and vibration between the bogie frame and wheelsets
are performed by the primary suspension. The primary suspension, located between the
axles and the bogie frame, comprises twin coil springs and a hydraulic axle damper on each
axle box.

The axle dampers, mounted between the axle box front cover and lugs on the bogie frame,
are used to dampen the rebound rate of the springs. The primary suspension uses four coil
springs on each axle (wheelset).
The coil springs are situated fore and aft of the axle line. Two springs are situated in the seats
of each axle box at each end of the wheelset. An insulating base is installed between each
spring and the axle box. Compensating plates are added to establish the correct wheel load
rate.
Longitudinalcontrol of the axle, and the transmission of tractive and braking effort to the bogie
frame, is provided by guide rods connected between the axle boxes and bogie frame. The
"Flexicoil" arrangement of the primary suspension permits lateral movement of the axle.
Spheribloc rubber bushes in the guide rods allow the axle lateral movement without undue
restriction.

Installation

All springs vary slightly due to the manufac-


turing process. In smaller springs this differ-
ence is generally negligible, but on larger
springs, such as used on the WAP-5 sus-
pension, small variations can have a
marked impact on performance. WAP-5
locomotive springs are manufactured to ex-
acting standards, but variations between dif-
ferent batches do occur. Springs are marked
with one or two aluminium bands (1) during
manufacture to identify the spring's toler-
ance range. Group 1 springs have one
band, while Group 2 springs have two
bands. All springs
. - on the bogie must be
within the same tolerance range. Do not mix
springs with different numbers of aluminium
bands (1) on a bogie.
During use, springs soften slightly, giving a
reduced spring height. The variations that
occur in spring production and softening
over time is offset by compensating plates
(shims). These plates are available in 1, 2,
3 and 4 mm thicknesses. The compensating
plates are positioned between the spring
and insulating base.
The wheel and axle load is determined by
the suspension system, lncorrect packing of
the either the primary or secondary suspen-
sion springs results in improper wheel loads.
lncorrect loads increase wheel wear and re-
duces ride quality. Correct adjustment of the
wheel and axle loads is critical to the longev-
ity of the wheels. Adjustment of the wheel
and axle loads is described in Chapter 2.2,
Wheelset.

Maintenance and Repair Manual

Both springs on an axle box must have an equal thickness of compensating plates. Whenever
installing new springs, place the number of 2 mm shims above the insulating bases corre-
sponding to the number of aluminium bands.

Whenever replacing one or more springs, it is important that all the springs on the bogie are
equal and of the same tolerance group. If possible, all the springs on the bogie should be re-
placed with new springs. Tested second hand springs can be used. When using second hand
springs, all the springs must have the same static and loaded height, and meet the specifica-
tions given in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits. Springs that are removed can be tested
and, if serviceable, reused.
During the removal procedure, the springs and insulating bases should have been tagged to
identify their original location. Where possible, serviceable springs and insulating bases
should be reinstalled into the same position from which they were removed.

Functional Description
O.tt*

The primary and secondary suspension absorbs and isolatesshock loads, due to track defor-
mities and other variations. The primary suspension isdescribedin Chapter2.3, PrimarySus-
pension.
The secondary suspension consists of coil springs and vertical, lateral and yaw dampers, lo-
cated betweenthe bogieframe and the locomotiveunderframeon each side of the bogie. The
springs support the weight of the locomotive car body and allow free movement between the
car body and the bogie. This "FlexiFloat" arrangement of the secondary suspension allows
the locomotive car body to move both laterally and vettically within certain limits relative to
the bogies.
Although the springs allow movement in any direction, lateral buffers and dampers limit the
amount and rate of lateral movement. Rebound limit chains and vertical dampers limit the
amount and rate of the vertical rebound of the locomotive car body. Longitudinal (yaw)
dampers are provided to dampen the rate of pitch of the car body. Traction links, connected
between the bogie and locomotive underframe, control the fore and aft movement between
the bogies and the locomotive, and transmit tractive and braking effort from the bogie to the
locomotive.
Insulating bases and compensating plates are installed between each spring and the bogie
frame. Compensating plates may be added, or subtracted, to establish the correct axle load
levels.
Testing and diagnosis of hydraulic dampers is detailed in the Koni Adjustable Railway
Dampers Documentation located in Chapter 3, Primary Suspension of Volume F2, Suppliers

All springs vary slightly due to the manufac-


turing process. In smaller springs this differ-
ence is generally negligible, but on larger
springs, such as used on the WAP-5 sus-
pension, small variations can have a
marked impact on performance. WAP-5
locomotive springs are manufactured to ex-
acting standards, but variations between dif-
ferent batches do occur. Springs are marked
with one or two aluminium bands during
manufacture to identify the spring's toler-
ance range. Group 1 springs have one
band, while Group 2 springs have two
bands. All springs on the bogie must be
within the same tolerance range. Do not mix
springs with different numbers of aluminium
bands (1) on a bogie.
During use, springs soften slightly, giving a reduced spring height. The variations that occur
in spring production and softening over time is offset by compensating plates (shims). These
plates are available in 1, 3, 5 and 8 mm thicknesses. The compensating plates are always
positioned between the insulating bases and the bogie frame, never between the spring and
insulating base, or between the spring and the underframe.
The wheel and axle load is determined by the suspension system. Incorrect packing of the
either the primary or secondary suspension springs results in improper wheel loads. lncorrect
loads increase wheel wear and reduces ride quality. Correct adjustment of the wheel and axle
loads is critical to the longevity of the wheels. Adjustment of the wheel and axle loads is de-
scribed in Chapter 2.2, Wheelset.
Initially, all springs on a bogie should be packed with an equal thickness of compensating
plates. Refer to Chapter 2.2, Wheelset for more information on axle load adjustment. When-
ever installing new springs, place the number of 5 mm shims below the insulating bases corre-
sponding to the number of aluminium bands.

Whenever replacing one or more springs, it is important that all the springs on the bogie are
equal and of the same tolerance group. If possible, all the springs on the bogie should be re-
placed with new springs. Tested second hand springs can be used. When using second hand
springs, all the springs must have the same static and loaded height, and meet the specifica-
tions given in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits. Springs that are removed can be tested
and, if serviceable, reused.
During the removal procedure, the springs and insulating bases should have been tagged to
identify their original location. Where possible, Serviceable springs and insulating bases
should be reinstalled into the same position from which they were removed.

Functional Description
@,I40

The traction link transmits traction and braking forces from the bogie to the locomotive super-
structure (underframe). Although the traction link maintains the relative longitudinal position
of the bogie to the locomotive underframe, it permits lateral movement between the two struc-
tures. he link rod is situated between two pivot points, one on the iocomotive underframe,
the other on the end transom of the bogie, permitting lateral movement but restraining longi-
tudinal movement. Under normal conditions the rod is inclined at a 1:10 slope towards the
centre of the locomotive underframe.
A pivot head, situated at each end of the link rod, has a ring of pliable material between the
pivot post and head. The rings are secured to the pivot head by an outer retaining ring and
a retaining plate bolted to the post.
The rod is symmetrical end to end and the pivot heads are identical and interchangeable be-
tween the bogie and underframe. The link rod is secured to the locomotive underframe by
safety cables.

Functional Description

Gear Box

Power and torque from the traction motors is transmitted to the axle through the gear box.
A gear box is fitted to each axle. The gear box is suspended in the bogie frame at the nose
end by a support arm. The arm is fitted with rubber Spheriblocs to allow for twist and move-
ment of the axle. The other end of the gear box is supported on the axle by the main gear,
within the gear box.
The torque generated by the traction motor is transmitted to the pinion gear by the drive coupl-
ing. The driven pinion gear then drives the intermediate gear, which in turn drivesthe main
gear. The gears are lubricated by oil which is held in the gear box case.
The gear box case is made in two halves from cast alloy. The pinion gear is situated in the
upper half of the case and the intermediate gear is located below. The case can be split along
the join line to facilitate removal. Labyrinthrings and seals on the rotating parts prevent lubric-
ant escaping from the gear box.

Main Gear

The one piece main gear is machined to precision tolerances from a single casting. The hub
bore surface is ground to a6.3 micronfinish. The gear is balanced after machining. The pinion
face is stamped with month of supply, year of supply, trademark, pinion number, material and
drawing number.
An oil gallery is located within the gear hub for "floating off the gear from the axle using hy-
draulic pressure. The gallery is sealed with a screw plug and copper washer to prevent the
ingress of dirt during service.

Indian Railways WAP-5 Transmission
Maintenance and Repair Manual

Drive Coupling

The drive coupling provides for the transmission of rotational forces between the traction
motor and gear box. The coupling transfers the torque from the motor to the gear box and
can compensate for radial, axial and angular shaft shifting between the two components. The
coupling consists of two halves; one half is pressed onto the traction motor output shaft and
the other onto the gear box input shaft.
A star pinion, with curved teeth mates with a geared sleeve. The curved teeth allow for minor
misalignment and movement between the traction motor and gear box. The inner-toothed
coupling sleeves are press fitted onto the motor and transmission shaft.
The coupling has separate, closed lubricant chambers in each half. When removing or instal-
ling the motor or transmission, the lubricant chambers remain closed, eliminating contamina-
tion of the teeth.

Removal

Drive Coupling

When removing either the traction motor or gear box, the lubricant does not need to be
drained and the coupler halves can remain attached to the shafts. If necessary, the coupling
halves can be removed without dismounting either the traction motor or the gear box from the
bogie frame.
Clean the area around the drain plugs, removingall dirt and debris. Rotate the coupler so that
the drain plugs are vertical.
Place a receptacle, greater than 1.6 litres capacity, below the drain plugs.
Remove the lower plug, then drain the lubricant from the coupler into the receptacle. It may
be necessary to loosen the upper plug.
Repeat the procedure on the other coupler half, if required.

PRESS OFF
Dismounting of the drive couplings is achieved by "floating off' using hydraulic pressure. The
procedure uses pressurised glycerine to separate the interferencefits between the cylindrical
surfaces of the drive couplings and shaft. Once the hydraulic pressure exceeds the pressure
created by the interference fit, a glycerine film builds up between the contact areas. The film
reduces friction between the surface. The parts can easily be displaced without scoring the
mating surfaces.
The work area, joint surfaces and gallery must be completely clean; free of all swarf, dirt and
other contaminates.

Disassemble the drive coupler to access the oil gallery. Refer to Chapter 6, Transmission,
Section Drive Coupling, of Volume F2, Suppliers Documentation.

Attach the injector pipe (1) from Thyssen


Henschel oil injection tool kit, 729101B, to
the gallery in the gear box or motor drive
shaft (2) using suitable adaptors, if necess-
ary. Use glycerin as the lubricant f6r the in-
jector.

NOTE:
Do not interrupt the pressing-off of
the drive coupling once the groove
becomes visible. Stopping or
pausing will cause the glycerine
film to leak away from the contact
surfaces. The drive coupling hub
will seize on the shaft.

Slowly pump the injector to approximately


1900 bar until glycerine discharges at the
front of the coupling. Do not allow the pres-
sure to exceed 2200 bar.
The glycerine needs some time to fill the gal-
lery and seat. Keep the pressure up for ap-
proximately 10 minutes. Trying to float the
sleeve off too quickly could damage the
drive coupling hub or shaft.
Slowly float the drive coupling from the
shaft. Keep the pressure constant until the
groove (3) on the shaft is visible. Sufficient Cr)
glycerine is trapped in the second half of the

Functional Description
5 i4.0

To improve traction in certain situations, sand may be deposited on the rails ahead of the tead-
ing wheels of each bogie. Sand is released, at the driver's discretion by a foot switch, from
pneumatically controlled valves at the sand boxes. The sand is exhausted through nozzles
situated ahead of wheels.
Each locomotive has six sand boxes, one below each cab door that supplies sand to the ad-
jacent wheel and two dual sand boxes. The dual sand boxes are situated on the locomotive
underframe outboard of the main compressors. These supply sand to the wheels towards the
centre of the locomotive. Air flow through the sanding valves draws sand from the sand box
and carries the sand along the sanding pipes. The air is then exhausted with the sand onto
the rails. Air flow is controlled by valves on the brake frame. These valves are activated by
the sanding switch in the cab.

Functional Description
@.I149

The flange lubrication is pneumatically operated by valves located on the Brake Frame, and
controlled by the Memotel system. For further information regarding the Memotel system,
refer to Volume A, Driver's Manual.
Lubricant is released from the reservoir tank through a pneumatically operated distribution
valve and is sprayed onto the wheel flanges from nozzles situated near each wheel.
Pneumatic and hydraulic pipes are connected to each nozzle. The hydraulic piping connects
the distribution valve to the nozzles on the individual wheels. The pneumatic piping provides

Functional Description
@ I140

The roof line carries the current from the pantographvia the isolator switches. The line is elec-
trically insulated from the roof by the pin insulators. Current from the roof line passes through
the vacuum circuit breaker and high voltage connection to the high voltage bushing on the
roof. Current is carried to the transformer, situated in the machine room, along the high volt-
age cable. The primary current transfornier is situated on the underside of the converter roof
hatch, below the high voltage bushing. The control electronics uses the signal to measure the
current flowing through the high voltage cable from the catenary.
The isolator switches allow the roof line to be broken for removal of the locomotive roof
hatches. Spring contacts hold the isolator switches in either position.
The high voltage cable connects to the high voltage bushing with a push on-pull off connec-
tion. The cable is secured to the converter roof hatch by a clamp and to the machine room
along a support arm.

insulating effect of the high voltage bushing insulator. Water applied tothe surface of the insu-
lator should bead and not wet the surface. If the coating is contaminated or is wetted by water,
the coating must be renewed. Audible discharges or flashovers that are visible in the dark are
an indication that the insulator needs to be re-coated.

Indian Railways WAPd Pantograph
Maintenance and Repair Manual

Functional Description
e.1140

The pantograph is a pneumatically actuated mechanism situated on the locomotive roof,


which connects the overhead catenary to the locomotive electrical system via the roof line.
Each locomotive has two pantographs, one located at each end of the locomotive on the pan-
tograph hatches.

Pressurised air supplied to the pneumatic cylinder causes a torque on the pantograph lower
arm. This torque is sufficient to assist the springs in raising the pantograph mechanism. Once
deployed, the pantograph is held in position by the action of the pneumatic piston and the
springs.
Venting the pneumatic supply to the pneumatic piston removes the additional torque required
to keep the pantograph deployed. The pantograph head then lowers under its own weight
until it comes to rest on the rubber stops.
In operation, the pneumatic motor is always supplied with pressurised air allowing the panto-
graph to freely follow the gradients of the catenary.
In the event of failure of the pneumatic system, the pantograph is automatically retracted, dis-
connecting the locomotive from the catenary.
The air supply for the pantograph during normal operation is controlled by the brake frame
(pneumatic panel). When the locomotive has been stabled for some time and there is no air
pressure in the main reservoir, an auxiliary compressor supplies air to raise the pantograph.
A pressureswitch acts as a governor for the auxiliary compressor ensuring it does not operate
when the main reservoir pressure is adequateto raisethe pantograph. For further information
regarding the auxiliary compressor system, refer to Chapter 6.4, Auxiliary Compressor.
Refer to the pneumatic schematic in Chapter 1, Metcalfe Brake Systems of Volume F11, (D

Functional Description

Vacuum circuit breaker

The vacuum circuit breaker serves to disconnect the locomotive from the catenary in the
event of over-voltages, under-voltages, short circuits and power surges. Trouble shooting
for the vacuum circuit breaker is described in Chapter 3, Main Circuit Breaker of Volume F3,
Suppliers Documentation.

Earthing switch

The dual pole earthing switch is providedfor the safety of operating and maintenanceperson-
nel during checks and repairs on the locomotive.
The earthing switch earths consists of two knife connectorsthat are connected together along
their base of rotation by a connecting rod that is also earthed. Operation of the earthing rod
is by a handle, which is attached to the connecting rod between the two knife blades. Rotation
of the handle moves the knife connectors between the engaged and disengaged positions.
When the earthing switch is engaged, the two knife connectors rotate upwards from their
seats and connect to seats in the roof line. One knife blade connects to the roof line before
the vacuum circuit breaker and one connects after the vacuum circuit breaker. Theseconnec-
tions ensure that the entire high voltage system is connected to earth, regardless of the cur-
rent position of the vacuum circuit breaker.
Operation of the earthing switch requires the use of the locomotive key interlocking system.

Functional Description
@1140

Two surge arresters are located on the converter roof hatch. One arrester is connected to the
roof line, and another is connected to the high voltage bushing. They provide protection for
the transformers, cables, switchgear and equipment against over-voltages from any source,
including multiple lightning strikes.

The surge arresters are composed of non-linear metal-oxide resistors, connected in series,
within a glazed insulator. The insulator is mounted on an aluminium alloy base which is at-
tached to the locomotive roof. At normal operating voltage, a predominantly capacitive cur-
rent of only afew milliampereflowsthroughthe resistors. When the voltage rises,the resistors
immediately begin to conduct excess voltage from the roof line to earth. When the voltage
returns to the normal range, the arrester immediately reverts to the original state.

Inspection and Repair


8.1250

Clean any dirt, debris or residual coating from the insulator.


lnspect the surge arrester for chips, cracks or damage to the ceramic insulator.
Replace the surge arrester if damaged.
lnspect the condition of the jumper cables. Replace if damaged or frayed.
lnspect the condition of the silicon coating on the surge arrester insulator. Contaminants in
the silicon coating reduce the insulating effect of the insulator. Water applied to the surface
ofthe insulatorshould bead and notwet thesurface. If thecoating is contaminated or is wetted
by water, the coating must be renewed. Audible discharges or flashovers that are visible in
the dark are an indication that the insulator needs to be re-coated.
Remove the contaminated silicon coating using paper towelling. Wipe any remaining silicon
coating from the insulator using a clean, dry, lint free cloth. Clean the surface of the insulator
thoroughly using a cloth soaked in alcohol.
Ensure the glazed surface of the insulator is clean, dry and shiny. The silicon grease de-
scribed in Section Miscellaneous Materials should be applied evenly to the entire glazed sur-
face of the insulator to a thickness of 0.2 to 1 mm.
Take care when handling the surge arrester after coating to avoid contamination of thesilicon
grease on the insulator.

The main transformer is integrated into the traction circuit between overhead catenary and
the rail return line. Primary current flows from the pantograph, via roof line, into the primary
winding of the main transformer. It then flows to the rail via the primary earth brushes installed
on each axle.

The transformer converts the line voltage from the overhead catenary (25 kV) to the lower
operating voltages for traction power, hotel load and the auxiliary equipment. There are four
secondary transformer outputs; two 1,142 Volt windings (one for each converter unit), one
900 Volt winding for the auxiliary circuits and one 750 Volt winding for Hotel Load supply. The
harmonic filter windings are incorporated into these secondary output windings to smooth out
fluctuations in the main transformer. Refer to Chapter 3.9. Filter for more information regard-
ing the harmonic filter.

The main transformer, together with the auxiliary converter smoothing chokes and the series cu
resonant chokes, are enclosed in an oil tight aluminium tank centrally located on the locomo-
tive underframe. The aluminium construction saves weight and exerts a damping effect on
high frequency magnetic fields generated by the transformer. The tank is divided into two
chambers; the larger contains the main transformer while the smaller accommodates the
series resonant chokes and the auxiliary converter chokes.
The transformer unit is filled with approximately 1,800 kg of oil that serves as a cooling and
insulating agent. The transformer and reactors generate a considerable amount of heat dur-
ing operation. To disperse this heat, cooling oil is circulated through the transformer tank by
two parallel oil cooling circuits to heat exchangers. For further information regarding the cool-
ing circuits, refer to Chapter 3.6, Transformer Oil Cooling.

The transformer is fixed to the locomotive underframe at four points. Centring pins on two di-
agonally opposite fixing points relieve any strains on the mounting bolts caused by shear
forces in the horizontal and vertical directions.

All of the transformers metallic parts, internal and external, are earthed to prevent failure from
electrical discharges. The active part of the transformer and the reactors are connected by
the tank. An external cable (2) grounds the tank to the tank cover. This connection is located
above the temperature indicator. The tank is then connected to the locomotive earth on the
underframe via a cable. These cables mount on the transformer case at points (1).

Thermometer .

The gas pressure thermometer (1) provides


a local indication of the oil temperature
within the transformer tank. The thermom-
eter measures the oil temperature at the
point of the highest value. As the gas pres-
sure within the transformer tank changes,
thispressure is transmitted via the capillary
tube to the pressure-gauge measuring
spring in the indicationinstrument. Effects of
the ambient temperature are compensated
by a bi-metallic element. The maximum
allowable oil temperature is 150 "C.

Safety Valve

The safety valve (1) or pressure-relief valve consists of a spring-loaded pressure plate above
an outlet opening. It opens at a pressure of 0.8 bar and releases excess oil into a surrounding
chamber with drain pipe. Its response time to the arrival of a wave of pressure is 3 millisec-
onds. The pressure wave required for opening can be adjusted prior to installation by means
of the spring preload.

Indian Railways WAPS Transformer Oil Cooling
Maintenance and Repair Manual

Functional Description
@.1140

The transformer oil cooling system circulates cooling oil through the transformer to the oil
blower unit. Heat generated in the transformer is absorbed into the cooling oil. This heat is
then removed from the oil in the oil blower.
The cooling oil is pumped through the oil cooling system by the transformer oil pumps, which
are bolted to the transformer. Oil pipes have flexible compensators to allow for movement and
expansion between the transformer and oil blower units.

The cooling oil flows into the transformer tank through the ports near the centre of the trans-
former windings (1). The oil circulates through the transformer windings (I), then through the
reactors (2,3) then out of the transformer tank through the ports near the end wall of the tank.
Expansiontanks are fitted to the oil system to accommodate the volume increase that occurs
when the cooling oil is heated. Piping from the bleed valves located in the transformer tank
lid connects to the expansion tanks. As the oil in the transformer expands, the oil level in the
expansion tank rises. An equalisation pipe connects the two expansiontanks together, ensur-
ing an even level in both expansion tanks.

Maintenance and Repair Manual

Silica gel breathers fitted to the expansion tanks remove moisture from the air drawn into the
expansion tanks as the cooling oil contracts. Silica gel can absorb up to one third its own
weight in water. When the silica gel is dry, it is blue in colour. As the silica gel absorbs water,
itturns from blueto pink. Any moisture that does enter the system condenses in the expansion
tank. This water can be drained from the expansion tank at the drain valve.
A level gauge is mounted on the side of the transformer oil expansion tank. It is a glass tube
for measuring the level of the transformer oil in the transformer expansion tank. Oil enters the
gauge through a hole in the bottom, whilst expelling air through a hole in the top (back into
the expansion tank).

To compensate for temperature expansion effects, a temperature scale is alongside the


gauge. To establish the correct oil level, the temperature must be read off the main trans-
former thermometer. The correct oil level can then be determined.
For further information regarding the transformer, refer to Chapter 3.5, Transformer.
For further information regarding the oil blower, refer to Chapter 5.5, Oil Blowers.

Draining Oil

NOTE:
Before removing any parts of the transformer oil cooling circuit, the oil of the oil
cooling circuit has to be drained at the draining valves.

The transformer cooling oil must not be hot when draining. Ensure that the cooling oil is at
ambient temperature.
Draining the oil from the main transformer should only be performed when necessary. The
maintransformer, oil cooling pumps and piping, and the oil cooling radiator can all be removed
and replaced without draining themain transformer. Shut-off valves located in the main trans-
former oil ports can be used to retain oil in the main transformer while draining oil from the
oil cooling pipes and oil cooling radiators.
' If necessary, oil samples should be taken during the oil draining procedure. Further informa-
tion regarding taking oil samples is given in Chapter 5, Main Transformer of Volume F3,
Suppliers Documentation.
Oil from the transformer cooling system should be drained into a suitably sized, clean con-
tainer that is evacuated prior to filling with oil. Once the oil has been drained, appropriate tests
may be performed on the oil. Some reconditioning of the oil may be required prior to the oil
re-entering service.

To drain the oil from the piping only and not the main transformer, the shut-off valves on the
transformer oil ports should be closed. The transformer cooling system bleed valve on the
oil cooling radiator and the drain valves located in the oil piping adjacent to the main trans-
former oil ports can then be opened. The oil will now empty from the transformer cooling sys-
tem piping and the oil cooling radiator.
Once the oil has been completely drained, all piping valves must be closed. 0

Refill the expansion tanks, transformer, oil blower unit and oil circuit with clean oil, meeting
the specification in Section Technical Data.

Filling The Cooling System With Oil

Once all piping connections to the heat exchanger and the pump have been made, it is
necessary to fill the remainder of the cooling system with oil. The oil used must comply with
the relevant specifications. If necessary, an oil test should be carried out to ensure the oil to
be used meets the required specification. The oil cooling circuit should be flushed with clean
oil prior to refilling the system.
The transformer main valves should only be opened when all pipes and the heat exchanger
have been filled with oil and vented. No air should enter the transformer assembly from the
piping or the heat exchanger.
Refer to Chapter 5, Main Transformer of Volume F3, Suppliers Documentationfor further de-
tails regarding refilling the oil cooling system.
Test the oil cooling system for leakage. Refer to Section Inspection and repair.

Oil Pump

WARNING:
Ensure the oil cooling system, the pump and the transformer are tilled with
oil prior to operating the pumps. Running the pumps when the cooling sys-
tem is empty can damage the pumps.

Check the direction of rotation of the pump, as described in Chapter 6, Transformer Oil Cool-
ing of Volume F3, Suppliers Documentation. Ensure the oil pump is connected correctly prior
to activating the oil cooling system.

Refer to Section 3, Auxiliary Circuits 3 Phase, Sheet 021, Oil Pumps and Compressors of Vol-
ume GI,Cabling Documentation for oil pump connections.

Adjustments

Oil Level of the Transformer Expansion Tank

The oil level should lie within the marks on the oil level gauge.

The oil level of relatively new vehicles may drop considerablyfor sometime after commission-
ing. This is due to the expulsion of residual air pockets.
In such cases, check the security of the pipes (rubber and steel), flanges and fittings.
Slight oil films, recognisable by dust adhering to the surface, are acceptable if there is no drip-
ping leak. Replace any components as required to rectify any leakage found.

Functional Description
8 1140

The primary voltage transformer is situated on the converter roof hatch and attached to the
pantograph voltage via the roof line. The primary voltage transformer reduces the catenary
voltage, approximately 25 kVa, to 200voltsAC. Aresistor is placed acrossthe primary voltage
transformer to provide a reference load. The output signal is used in three ways; main con-
verter electronics, catenary voltmeters on the driver's console and for the minimum voltage
relay.
Primaryvoltage transformer module (224.2) reduces and rectifiesthe 200 volt signal from the
primary voltage transformer (3) to 1Ovolt DCforthecatenaryvoltmeters(UBA) on thedriver's
console. ,
Another primary voltage transformer module (224.1) reduces the 200 volt signal to 4 volt AC
. ampli-
for the control electronics (415). The control electronics monitor the catenary voltage
tude for phase generating the thyristor firing pulses.
The 200.volt signal from the primary voltage transformer (3) is fed to the minimum voltage
relay (86) which de-energises when the catenary voltage falls below 17.6 kV.
Numbers in brackets 0 used in this Functional Description relate to the electrical equipment
apparatus item number used in the locomotiveschematics, refer to Volume G, Cabling Docu-
mentation.

The primary voltage transformer cannot be disassembled. The unit must be replaced if dam-
aged or faulty.
The load resistor or terminal box cannot be disassembled. Either unit must be replaced if
damaged or faulty.

Inspection and Repair


@.rm
lnspect the insulator of primary voltage transformer for cracks, chips or damage.
Check the condition of the seal on the terminal box. Replace the seal if worn or damaged.
Check the condition of the thread for the high voltage connection. Minor damage can be re-
paired using an MI0 thread chaser.
Check the condition of the high voltage and earthingcables. Replacethecables if worn, dam-
aged or frayed.
Replace the primary voltage transformer if damaged.
Check the load resistor for damage.
Measure the resistance of the load resistor using a suitable multi-meter.
Replace the resistor if damage or not within the range specified in Section Tolerances and
Wear Limits.
lnspect the condition of the silicon coating on the insulator of the primaryvoltage transformer.
Contaminants in the silicon coating reduce the insulating effect of the insulator. Water applied
to the surface of the primary voltage transformer should bead and not wet the sutface. Ifthe
coating is contaminated or is wetted by water, the coating must be renewed. Audible dis-
charges or flashovers that are visible in the dark are an indication that the primary voltage
transformer needs to be re-coated.
Remove the contaminated silicon coating using paper towelling. Wtpe any remaining silicon
coating from the primary voltage transformer using a clean, dry, lint free cloth. Clean the sur-
face of the insulator thoroughly using a cloth soaked in alcohol.
Ensure the glazed surface of the primary voltage transformer is clean, dry and shiny. The sili-
con grease described in Section Miscellaneous Materials should be applied evenly to the en-
tire glazed surface of the primary voltage transformer to a thickness of 0.2 to 1 mm.

Power for locomotive operation is provided by the overhead catenary. The current from the
catenary flows through the roof line to the primary side of the main transformer, then from the
main transformer to the axles. An earthing brush is mounted on the end of each axle. The
brush makes contact with a plate on the axle end cap allowing the current to flow through the
wheel and axle, not the wheel bearing, and then to the rail, which is earthed. A cable from the
axle box brush connects to a terminal box situated on the lowmotive underfrarne.
Axles 2,3and 4 are connected to the main transformer via a junction at the filter cubicle. An
earthing choke is situated betweenaxle 1 andthe filter cubicle junction. Should axles 2,3 and
4 become detached from the earthing circuit, the choke limits the voltage through axle 1 as
a safety precaution. If none of the four earthing brushes are functioning, the current path
passes directly though the wheel bearings, which is undesirable. The earthing coil is de-
scribed in Chapter 3.9,Filter.
Numbers in brackets denote the electrical equipment apparatus item number used in the

Functional Description
c;.1140

A filter is connected across the main transformer windings to limit line harmonics:-reducing
critical interference levels of the locomotive. In general, the harmonicfilter is a Resistor Induc-
tor Capacitor (RLC) circuit providing a low pass filter.
When the VCB (vacuum circuit breaker) is closed, the filter On/Off contactor will close when-
ever the TEIBE controller is moved from the zero position to any driving position. Whenever
the TEIBE controller is returned to zero with the VCB remaining closed, the filter contactor
remains closed for 5 minutes and then opens. The discharge contactor is then closed for 500
milliseconds to discharge the capacitors. Whenever the TEIBE is moved again, the filter con-
tact closes,
Current sensor (8.5) measures the harmonic current and sends the feedback to the control
electronics.
The earth fault relay (89.6) is provided to detect an earth fault in thecircuit. Two series of resis-
tors (8.6111, 8.6211; 8.6112, 8.6212) are connected across the filter winding. Earth fault relay
is connected in betweenthe resistors8.6211 and 8.6112, with its other terminal grounded. The
principle of operation is the same as the DC link earth fault relay described in Chapter 4.1,
Traction Converter.
The locomotive primary earth is connected to the main transformer via a junction at the filter
cubicle. Axles 2,3 and 4 are a direct path to earth. Axle 1 is separated from earth by an earth-
ing coil (11):- a resistor. Should axles 2,3 and 4 become detached from the earthing circuit,
the choke (11) limits the voltage through axle 1 to prevent excessive current damaging the
tapered roller bearing. The earthing coil (11) is situated on the side of the filter cubicle.
