line); 'CA' is considered a single letter• B – Battery electric locomotive (rare)• The third letter (job type)• G – goods
• P – passenger• M – mixed; both goods and passenger• S – shunting (also known as switching engines or switchers in the
USA and some other countries)• U – electric multiple unit (used to carry commuters in city suburbs)• R – Railcars• For example, in "WDM 3A":• "W" means broad gauge• "D" means diesel motive power• "M" means suitable for both goods and passenger service• "3A" means the locomotive's power is 3,100 hp ('3' stands for
3000 hp, 'A' denotes 100 hp more)• Or, in "WAP 5":• "W" means broad gauge• "A" mean AC electric traction motive power• "P" means suitable for Passenger service• "5" denotes that this locomotive is chronologically the fifth electric
locomotive model used by the railways for passenger service.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE PARTS• Diagram shows an AC electric locomotive, i.e a locomotive collecting AC power
from an overhead line.
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE PARTS
• Red Lines- 1-phase A.C. circuit• Green Lines- D.C. circuit• Purple Lines- 3-phase A.C. circuit• The current passes directly from the
pantograph (or shoe) to the main and auxiliary inverters.
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE PARTS
• Axle Brush-The means by which the power supply circuit is completed.
• Battery-To provide start up current and for supplying essential circuits
• Circuit Breaker-To isolate the power supply when there is a fault, or for maintenance
• Converter-For converting alternating current to direct current or vice versa
• Cooling Fans-To keep the thyristors and other electronic power systems cool
• AIR BRAKE-Uses compressed air to apply the brake block (or pad) to the wheel and to control the operation of the brake along the train
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE PARTS
• VACCUM BRAKE-The automatic braking system. The brake pipe- is normally evacuated by a motor driven exhauster to create a vacuum and release the train brakes.
• Rectifier-Converter consisting of thyristors and diodes which is used to convert AC to DC
• Tap Changer-Camshaft operated set of switches used on AC electric locomotives to control the voltage taken off the main transformer for traction motor power
• AMO CONVERTER-For conversion of single phase in-coming supply into 3 phase out- put supply
• Traction Motor-To provide the final drive to a locomotive or train axle
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE PARTS
• TRANSFORMER-To step down the voltage as well as to control the same for feeding to the traction motors
• RECIPROCATING AIR COMPRESSOR-three cylinders, two stages, and air-cooled compressor driven by an induction motor
• Pantograph-The current collection system used by locomotives and trains on routes electrified with overhead lines
.
High power-to weight ratio.Fewer LocomotiveFast AccelerationHigher limit of speedHigher hauling capabilityNo carbon emissionLess noise pollutionMaintenance cost is 50% of that for steam engine.Steam engine requires two hours for heat up whereas electric engine start within moment.High torque motor are used in electric traction.
ADVANTAGE OF ELECRICAL LOCO
Significant capital cost of electrification.Maintenance cost is high.Overhead wires further limit the clearance in tunnel.Railway traction need immune power, with no cuts.
