 Acknowledgement
I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all who
have helped me in the successful completion of my vocational training
and this project report. I would like to say my greatest appreciation to
the highly efficient and devoted technical staff, supervisors of the
DIESEL LOCO SHED, KHARAGPUR.I am highly indebted to them for
their tremendous support and help during the completion of my
training and project report.

Relay
A relay is an
electrically operated
switch. Many relays
use an electromagnet to
operate a switching
mechanism
mechanically, but other
operating principles are
also used. The first
relays were used in
long distance telegraph
circuits.

 Types used in DLS
Wheel Slip relay
A Wheel Slip relay has four
terminals. Two of those are
use in series operation and
another two are used in
parallel operation. At the
starting time out of six
traction motor each two
are connected in series and
those all three
constructions are
connected in parallel with
a resistor. In between one
pair of motors the wheel
slip relay is connected in
the equi-potential position.
 General Purpose relay
(GP)
 This type of relays is generally
used in loco. It has a magnetic
coil. It is magnetized for tripping.
It is a substance that can make
or break more than one circuit at
a time.The rating of the magnetic
coil is 74 v dc, 450 ohm at 20
degree C. The contact of the
relay is normally closed. By
energizing the magnetic coil the
contact can be open. At a time
more than one circuit can be
operated through this relay.
 Contactor relay

Such devices are

often used for
motor starters. A
motor starter is a
contactor with
overload
protection
devices attached.

 Conclusion
Training opportunities and facilities provided to us were
adequate and helpful. Each and every department of this
organization has given us full cooperation. All the instructors
journey in the reputed organization.
During my training period, I have gained adequate and
valuable knowledge regarding various machineries and
instruments used in DLS(kgp). I hope that whatever valuable
knowledge and experiences I have gained during this period,
will be useful and helpful in my future professional career.
