These Maintenance & Repair Manuals of technical documentation for the Indian Railways
WAP-5 locomotives are divided into Chapters; each of which contains information pertinent
to a specific area of the locomotive. The Chapter numbers correspond to the Breakdown
Structure of the Locomotive (GAPL), shown on the inside front cover of this binder. The same
delineation of Chapters is used throughout the technical documentation for the WAP-5 loco-
motives.
Information in each Chapter is divided into various Sections which describe the locomotive
equipment and procedures required for maintenance. See Section Description, as follows.
The Maintenance & Repair Manuals span more than one binder. For ease of identification,
each Volume is labelled on its spine and front cover, indicating the Volume and binder number,
and the Chapters contained within.

Associated Volumes
Repair Competencies
The procedures in this manual expect the user to have the appropriate competencies and
skills. The scope of work associated with the procedures described should only be carried out
by suitably qualified and properly trained railway engineers. Personnel must have an ap-
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
of Volume F10, Suppliers Documentation." direct the user to the appropriate volume and
chapter of the Suppliers Documentation, Volume F. Or "refer to Section Actual value Detec-
tion, Sheet 12A, Catenary & Battery Voltage of Volume G I , Cabling Documentation" directs
the user to the appropriate sheet in the locomotive schematics, Volume G.
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.
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.
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.
The following systems have covering panels to prevent accidental contact with electrical sys-
tems.
Control Cubicles (SB1, SB2)
Auxiliary Cubicles (HBI , HB2)
Filter Cubicle (FB)
Traction Converters (SR1, SR2)
Auxiliary Converters (BUR1, BUR2, BUR3)
Driver's Desk, including Cubicle F and Panels A, B, C and D
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.
Lubrication Precautions
Clean lubricating points before applying the recommended lubricant, and remove any excess
after applying new lubricant.
Pneumatic Precautions
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.
Technical Information
8.1(30
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;
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
The following table shows the preparations required for particular surface types and finishes
prior to the application of Sikaflex 221.
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.

Group Summary
@.?I20
This chapter contains information on the locomotive body structure, covering the carbody,
machine room, cabs, underframe, roof hatches, cow catcher, jacking points and general
specifications for welding.
I 1
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.
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 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.

Information in this chapter covers the locomotive exterior finishes; surface coatings, primer
and top-coat paints, decals, signage and paint-outs.
Functional Description
w.1140
The locomotive is protected by a two-pack polyurethane paint over an epoxy primer. This
combination of surface finishes ensures full protection against corrosion.
The paint-out patterns are designed to enhance the aesthetics and visibility of the locomo-
tive. Decals are applied to the locomotive for identification and notification purposes.

* Indian Railways painted in black on the locomotive side between 3 corrugations. From the
No. 1 End, the signage is in English on the right hand side and in Hindi on the left hand side.
Use ABB template IA171-00003 for English and ABB template IAl71-00004 for Hindi.
The series numbers below the front windows and belowthe side windows vary with each loco-
motive.
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.
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.

appropriate chapter in this manual for the relevant procedure.
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.
Blast Cleaning
Cover any area not being cleaned to prevent pitting the surface.
To prevent damage to the threads and a build up of abrasive material, cover any exposed
threads and plug all threaded holes using suitable tape or plastic plugs.
Blast the surface clean to Class 2 standard, Near White Metal Blast Cleaning. Remove
all mill scale, oxidation and foreign particles from the surface. The finished surface should be
pitted to 125 microns deep, but need not have a consistent colour.
Clean the surface, remove debris, grit and foreign material.

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.

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.

Maintenance and Repair Manual
Functional Description
Bogie Frame
The bogie frame consists of two longitudinal sections, which form the side members, and
three lateral box type sections, which form the cross members. The cross members are posi-
tioned, and welded, to the side members forming a rectangular frame.
The side and cross members are fabricated from 350L-15 high strength low-alloy steel. The
link rod pivot assembly is welded to the centre of the end cross member. All structural welds
on the bogie are ultrasonically tested during manufacture for penetration.
The axle guide rod support brackets are of cast steel and are welded to the bottom flange of
the side members. The axle spring guides and primary suspension spring pads are welded
to the bottom flange of the side members as are the mounting brackets for the sanding outlet
pipe, wheel flange lubrication and tread conditioners. Secondary suspension spring guides,
longitudinal (yaw) damper brackets and vertical bump stops are all welded to the top flange
of the side members. Brackets for the vertical dampers and pivot brackets for the rebound
limiting chains are welded to the outer webs of the side members. Bracketsfor pneumatic pip-
ing and wheel flange lubrication pipes are welded to the webs of the side and cross members.
Lateral damper and bump stop brackets are welded to the top flange of the centre cross
member. Bracketsfor mountingthe traction motors and transmissionare welded to the centre
cross member, another mounting bracket for the traction motor is located on the end cross
member. Anchorage points for the brake callipers are located on the inside web of the side
members and welded to both the inner and outer webs for security.
To ensure full protection against corrosion all box sections are sealed against the entry 6
moisture and the frame is coated with atwo-pack polyurethane paint over an epoxy p r i m e e

Bogie Steps (u
Step assemblies located on either side of the bogie at the cab end and are providedto assist
access to the cab doors. Checkered tread plates on the bogie steps are provided to improve
grip on the steps.
Bogie Piping
Pneumatic piping on the bogie carries compressed air for operation of the wheel flange lu-
brication, wheel tread cleaning and disk braking systems. Hydraulic piping on the bogie
carries lubricating fluid from the wheel flange lubrication distributor to the wheel flange lu-
brication nozzles.

Piping
m-
When removing the bogie piping, as many sections of piping as possible should remain int@
and be removed as an assembly. This aids in reinstallation and also reduces the wear an&
tear on the piping connections. Pipes must be sealed with suitable plastic plugs, or alike, to
prevent the ingress of moisture and dirt. Dirt or moisture in the pipes may have an adverse
effect on pneumatic and hydraulic equipment.
Bogie Frame
If necessary, immerse the bogie frame in a suitable alkaline immersion tank to thoroughly
clean the bogie frame, as described in Alkaline Immersion.
If necessary, blast clean the bogieframe to remove all traces of scale, debris and other foreign
materials, as described in Blast Cleaning.
Clean all threaded holes and check the threads for wear that may result from loose compo-
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.
DAMAGE
Damage to the bogie frame and items fixed to the bogie frame can result from derailment,
impact, mechanical failure and various other such events. Such damage to the bogie frame
requires overhaul of the bogie frame. The bogie manufacturer should be consulted. All pro-
posed repairs to damaged bogie frames must be approved by the manufacturer.
Damage to weld on items may be repaired by replacing the weld on items to the manufac-
turers original specification.
Areas to be inspected for wear, fatigue, cracks and damage include:
Bogie frame
Welds and joins in the bogie frame
Mounting locations for traction motors, dampers, guide rods, gear boxes, safety chains,
wheel flange lubrication equipment, sanding equipment, brake equipment
Bushings and holes
Bogie weld on parts
Bump stops
Spring seat areas
Link rod pivot on end transom
These and surrounding areas are to be fully inspected. Any wear, fatigue, cracks or damage
found must be fully inspected using a non-destructive testing method to fully determine the
extent of the damage.

Group Summary
@.i120
This chapter contains information on the bogie wheelsets, which are comprised of the
wheelset and axle boxes. The wheelset and axle boxes comprise the components shown in
the following illustrations.
Although the main gear is part of the gear box assembly, it is included in this chapter because
the gear is an interferencefit onto the axle shaft. Information regarding other gear box compo-
nents is located in Chapter 2.6, Transmission.
Axle Box
Functional Description
@.1160
NOTE:
Welding is not permitted on any portion of the axle or wheel. Whenever welding is
carried out on any part of the locomotive, or bogie, the earth side of the welding
equipment must be connected directly next to the part being welded to prevent the
passage of electric current through the tapered bearing units. Welding current
passing through the bearings will cause damage.
The WAP-5 locomotive is configured for Bo Bo operation; -two bogies per locomotive, each
bogie with two driven wheelsets.
Wheelset
Wheelsets comprise an axle shaft, a main gear, two labyrinth rings, the axle end caps and
two single-piece Monobloc wheels with a brake disc on each side.
Axle shaft
The axle shaft (1) is forged from 25CrMo4 (chromium molybdenum steel), then machined and
ground to precision tolerances. The axles are manufactured and tested to comply with India
Railwaysstandard IRS R43. After machining, each axleshaft is uitrasonically tested forflaws.
There is a bearing journal (4) and a wheel journal (3) at each end of the axle. One main gear
journal (2) is situated inboard of a wheel journal (3) at one end of the axle shaft (1). All the
journals and transition points are ground to a 6.3 micron surface finish. Most radii are ground
to 8.0 micron finish.
Centring holes (5) are located along the axis at each end of the axle. These holes have a60°
taper, and can be used to centre the axle shaft (1) for measurement or machining. A wheelset,
complete with two wheels and the main gear, can be suspended on the centring holes.
An axle end cap (8) is fixed to the end of each axle to retain the tapered roller bearing and
seals. Refer to Axle End Cap in this Section.
A labyrinth ring (9) is an interference fit onto the labyrinth ring shoulder (7) at the inside end
of the bearing journal fillet (6). This ring locates the bearing relative to the axle shaft (1) and
forms part of the lubrication sealing for the tapered bearing units. Refer to Labyrinth Ring in
this Section.

Wheel
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.
- --
Brake Disc
Ventilated brake discs (1) are mounted on each side on the wheel plate (2). The brake discs
(I) are screwed together through the wheel disc (2). For more information on the brake discs,
refer to Chapter 16, BSI-Wheel-Mounted Brake Disc R920G of Volume F14, Suppliers Docu-
mentation. The brake discs, calipers and cylinders are the mechanical components of the
locomotive braking system. Refer to Chapter 6.7, Brake Activators for more information on
the brake cylinders and calipers.
Main Gear
The main gear is forged from 17CrNiMo6 (chromium nickel molybdenum steel), then ma-
chined and ground to precision tolerances. Afler machining, each gear is ultrasonicallytested
for flaws. The main gear hub bore surface and bearing journals are ground to a 6.3 micron
finish. The gear teeth are ground then hardened to a depth of 1.4 mm.
The main gear (1) is an interference fit onto
the axle shaft in the same manner as the
Monobloc wheels. An oil gallery (2) is lo-
cated within the gear (1) for "floating off'
from the axle shafl using hydraulic pressure.
The gallery (2) is sealed with a screw plug
(3) and copper washer (4) to prevent the in-
gress of dirt during sewice.

given in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List.
lnspect the abutting faces of the axle shoulder and the labyrinth ring. Shoulders must be
square with the axis of the journal to within the dimension specified in Section Tolerances and
Wear Limits List and Section Technical Data. Out-of-square shoulders will cause excessive
run-out, which may result in bearing failure.
Remove any sharp edges or burrs from the oil seal surface using a honing stone.
Check the condition of all transition points and bevels. Small imperfections can be removed
using fine emery paper. Replace the ring if the imperfections cover the entire circumference.
Check the labyrinth ring for twist on a flat bed bench. Replace the ring if the twist is greater
than the specification in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List.
Inspection of the tapered roller bearing is described in Chapter 2, Wheelset, of Volume F2,
Suppliers Documentation.
Guide Rod
Measure the distance between the guide rod eye centres (X). Replace the guide rod if the
length is not within the specification given in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List.
Carefully inspect the guide rod for damage or grooves in the Spheribloc bore.
Spheribloc
Check the Spheribloc collar (1) for the formation of cracks, pitting or damage and replace if
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.
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.

Axle Shaft
The procedure in this Section describes inspection of the axle shaft. Inspection of the axle
with the main gear and wheels installed is described in Wheelset, in this Section.
Remove the labyrinth ring, wheels and main gear. Refer to Section Disassembly.
Mount the axle in a fixture suitable for
measuring the journals on the axle.
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
and flaking. The colour of corrosion is constant with well defined edges. Fretting corrosion on
journal fillets can be removed using fine emery cloth or a honing stone. Condemn the axle
if necessary.
Visually inspect the bearing (4), main gear (5), wheel (2) and labyrinth ring journalsfor cracks
or damage.

ring shoulder. All journals have a small lead-
0202131n I ing taper at the ends. These areas, covering
the entire circumference of the journal,
should not be mistaken for a valley.
Mount the axle shaft (1) in a fixture so that it is supported on the bearing journals (1) by preci-
sion rollers, then measure the run-out of the labyrinth ring shoulder (2).
Measure the axial runout of the labyrinth ring shoulder (3) using a dial indicator (3)
Rotate the axle (1) and use the reading on the dial indicator (3) to establish the highest point
of the shoulder (2). Mark the high point using a felt tipped pen and set the dial indicator to 0

in the labyrinth ring shoulder (2) is the difference between the maximum and minimum
measurement shown on the dial indicator (3).
Out-of-square shoulders (2) may result in bearing seizure. The axle is serviceable if the
maximum amount of run-out is less than the specification given in Section Technical Data,
otherwise the axle is condemned.
Measure the distance (X) between the labyrinth ring shoulders. Relace the axle if the dimen-
sion is not within specification. Refer to Section Technical Data.

- the journals on rollers to measure the journal run-out will have the effect of
including any run-out and out-of-round in the ro'llers in the journal measurement. Care must
be taken to ensure any deviation measured in the journals is not due to such external factors.
Using a dial indicator, measure the circular runout of the main gear journal (4), the wheel jour-
nals (3), the labyrinth ring seats (2) and the bearingjournals (1) in three places. The difference
in the mean radius of the journal in the three places determines the cylindrical runout of the

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.
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.

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
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
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
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
Measuring Wheels
Measuring of wheels must always be performed according to the prevailing workshop sta
dards and procedures. Measuring the wheel tread diameter, and flange dimensions must
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.

Wheels should be reprofiled whenever the wheel tread diameter has worn 6.5 rnm since the
last reprofiling procedure.
The wheel tread diameter condemning limit is 1,016 mm
The operational limits of differences in wheel diameters on a wheelset (two wheels on an
axle), wheels on a bogie, and wheelson alocomotive must be within the dimensionsspecified
in the following tables.
-- - -
Tyre Height
Tyre height is measured from the highest point of the flange to the base of the back rim. This
dimension is best measured using ae yrl" Thickness Gauge" specifically designed for the
wheel.
The condemning limit for tyre thickness is 27 mm. Refer to MeasuringWheels in this Section.
Flange Width
Flange width is measured at a point 13 mm below the maximum height of the wheel flange.
Refer to Measuring Wheels in this Section.
Measure the flange width using a suitable gauge.
Maximum allowable wear on flangewidth is 3 mm. Minimum allowable flange width is 29 mm.
When reprofiling the wheel, the flange width should be restored to 32 mm.
Root Thickness
Root thickness is measured at a point 22 mm below the maximum height of the wheel flange.
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
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.
1 Original contour
2 Wear contour
3 Machined contour
4 Machining scrap
5 Wear
6 Burr
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.
Partial Correction
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.
NDT lnspection
Test the wheel for cracks, flaws or other discontinuities using non-destructive test equipment.
Sub-surface flaws that are not apparent during a visual inspection will show up as peaks or
spikes in the output from the test equipment. Refer to the Preface of this Volume for more in-
formation on non-destructive testing techniques.
Brake Disc
The brake discs must be inspected for cracks, wear or other defects asdescribed in Chapter
16, BSI-Wheel-Mounted Brake Disc R920G of Volume F14, Suppliers Documentation. Any
faults or defects must be corrected as described.
Small imperfections on the main gear hub bore may be repaired if:

Dispose of waste parts and materials according to the prevailing environmental standards or
workplace practices.
Assembly
NOTE:
Magnetic fields can damage bearings. Ensure that any components checked with
magnetic testing equipment are demagnetised before installation.
It is important that the bearings and journals be kept absolutely clean and pro-
tected from damage during all maintenance procedures. Foreign material can
cause damage the bearing and/or journal.
NOTE:
Special jigs and fixtures are required for installing the wheels and main gear onto
axle shaft. The tools required are normal railway wheel shop equipment, usually
fabricated by the railway operator to suit their work practices and other require-
ments. As these tools are considered part of the operators inventory this Chapter
does not provide details for the fabrication of these items. Nor can this Chapter
cover the operation of the railway operators equipment.
Main Gear
The main gear must be installed onto the axle shaft before the wheels are mounted.
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.
The face of the main gear hub must be installed 374.5 - 375.5 mm (A) from the labyrinth ring
shoulder.
Main gear bearings must be disassembled from the gear before shrink fitting the main gear
to the axle, refer to Chapter 2.6, Transmission. Both wheels must be dismounted to facilitate
mounting the main gear bearings.
Inspect and measure the main gear hub and axle journal as described in Section Inspection
and Repair. Blend out any small scratches, and ensure the oil injection gallery is clean.
NOTE:
Ensure the main gear temperature does not exceed 200 P= Use heat indicating
crayons to monitor the temperature of the gear.
Place the main gear in afurnace heated to 200 "C.and slowly heat the gear. The furnacetem-
perature and heating time must be monitored to ensure the gear temperature never exceeds
200 "C.

NOTE:
Once the main gear is removed from the heat, it will begin to cool, and therefore
shrink. The main gear must be installed quickly but with great care before it cools.
Remove the main gear from the heat and position it on the axle. Before the main gear cools
and shrinks, check that the main gear is correctly positioned from the labyrinth ring shoulder
(A) 374.5-375.5 mm on the axle and adjust the location to specification if necessary.
Allow the gear to cool unassisted to ambient temperature, then check the gear is correctly
located on the axle. Ensurethe main gear is square and seated correctly on the axle journal.
Specifications are given in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List. If the gear is not correctly
located, it must be dismounted and remounted in the correct position.
Conduct a contact test 48 hours after successful installation of the main gear. Specifications
are given in Section Tolerances and Wear Limits List. Do not install the wheels until after the
main gear passes the contact test.
Assemble the bearings, seals and labyrinth rings to the main gear. The procedure is de-
scribed in Section VI of document AEB 452 480 in Chapter 6, Transmission of Volume F2,
Suppliers Documentation and Chapter 2.6, Transmission.
Install the wheels as described in this Section.
Cold press-on of main gears is not recommended for remounting. However, a wheel press
can be used to press the gear onto the axle if the circumstances dictate.
Check the contact surfaces for damage scratches or burrs. Small scratches can be blended
out using emery cloth. Burrs can be removed with a honing stone.
Assemble the bearings to the main gear. The procedure is described in Section VI of AEB 452
480, refer to Chapter 6, Transmission of Volume F2, Suppliers Documentation.
Carefully align the axle, main gear hub and wheel press using a sprit level and a hair protrac-
tor. The main gear must fit perfectly against the mandrel (yoke spar) of the press to ensure
that an even pressure is applied around the main gear hub.

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.
Where one wheel is already mounted on the axle, the position of the mounted wheel must be
checked before installation of the other wheel. If the mounted wheel is not seated correctly,
then it must be dismounted and remounted relative to the labyrinth ring shoulder. Where the
mounted wheel is correctly located, the location of the other wheel can be measured in rela-
tion to the inner rim of the mounted wheel.
Wheels must be installed on the axle in relation to the labyrinth ring shoulder.

Clean the wheel hub and axle journals using clean, dry, lint free cloth. Remove all dirt, dust,
oil residue and debris. The bore and journals must be perfectly clean before the installation
procedure commences.
Mount the wheel to the axle, described as follows.
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

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

Adjustments
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

General information
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".
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.

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,

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
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.
Refer to Chapter 2.6, Transmission for installation of the drive coupling and gear box.

This chapter contains information regarding the secondary suspension system, which con-
sists of; secondary suspension springs, lateral, yaw and vertical dampers, bump stops and
safety chain.
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

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.

Transmission
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.
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.

Before-Removal Operations
@.I220
Remove the bogie from the locomotive as described in Chapter 2.4, Secondary Suspension
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.
Position a jack below, or attach suitable lifting equipment to, the gear box. If necessary, use
a wooden packer between the jack and gear box to prevent damage to the casting. Raise the
lifting equipment to take the weight off the gear box.
The drive coupling halves are secured together by twelve bolts (2) around the spur flange.
Remove the bolts (2) in diagonally opposed pairs to separate the two halves of the
coupler ( I , 3).

between the spur toothing of the coupler
0206004a halves. ZF Hurth Fork Tool "B" can be used
to slide the star into the crown.
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.
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

Group Summary
This chapter contains information on the sanding equipment which consists of: sand boxes
situated on the locomotive underframe, sanding valves and exhaust nozzles, and sanding
pipes and hoses.
@i1a
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

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
pressured air which creates a low pressure point at each nozzle. The low pressure point at
the tip of the nozzle draws oil through the hydraulic piping and sprays atomised oil onto the
wheel flanges.
Trouble shooting for the wheel flange lubrication system is described in Chapter 8, Wheel

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.

Group Summary
a.1120
This chapter contains information on the pantograph, which comprisesthe pantograph mech-
anism, valve box and insulators. The pantograph is Electrical Equipment Apparatus Item
Number 1.
Functional Description
e.1140
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

Group Summary
:;.1120
This chapter contains information on the main circuit breaker, which comprises the vacuum
circuit breaker and earthing switch.
I
Functional Description
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.

Group Summary

This chapter contains information on the surge arresters attached to the locomotive roof line.
The surge arresters are Electrical Equipment Apparatus Item Number 9.
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.

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).

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.

Group Summary
a1123
This chapter contains information on the transformer cooling system, which includes the
transformer oil pump, oil piping and expansion tank.
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.
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).

Before-Removal Operations
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

After-Installations Operations
r- 1280
Refill the expansion tanks, transformer, oil blower unit and oil circuit with clean oil, meeting
the specification in Section Technical Data.
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
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.
The oil level in the expansion tank must be checked each time before operating the locomo-
tive. For transformers/locomotives in storage, the oil level must be checked at least every 6
months. The oil level in the expansion tank must be equal to the corresponding temperature
mark on the sightglass.
If the transformer hi; to be filled up, oil of the same quality must be used. Do not mix oils that
.have different properties.

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.

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.

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.
