 Dynamic Braking Blower Motor
Type: It is a D.C. Series Motor.
(G.E. 65 H.P., B.H.E.L. 70 H.P.)

Working :It is getting current from

traction motors (a part of grid current )
during Dynamic Braking.

Purpose : In running loco during dynamic

braking this motor will work and drive
two blowers, which are mounted on the
either side of motor shaft, left side
blower will cool six grids and right side
blower will cool another six grids.

Effects on failure : If it fails grids will not

get cooled & there by grids are over
heated and melted.
Dynamic brake effectiveness will become
poor.
DYNAMIC BRAKING GRID RESISTANCE
BATTERY KNIFE SWITCH
Knife switch: It is manually operated switch.
Location : It is in the nose compartment.

Purpose : Connecting battery supply to

external circuits in front panel.
If fails :
a) During engine starting if it is in open
Engine will not crank
b) During engine running if it is in open
battery ammeter will read Zero,
No problem for Engine

VA1 RELEASE VALVE

VA1 RELEASE VALVE

 A1 DIFFERENTIAL PILOT AIR VALVE
Located inside the nose compartment with a COC.
This valve has two functions:
a)to nullify the HB5 valve operation during normal recreation of BP and Vacuum.
b) to supply air to lift VA1 release valve so as to connect VTP with the exhausters
in trailing operation for faster vacuum recreation.
Its COC must be kept in open in Lead or trailing locos.

VA1 RELEASE VALVE

This valve sets up according to the MU2B valve position and is located inside the
nose compartment.
When MU2B valve is in Lead, MR pressure will supply at the bottom of valve and
opens it.
Thereby communication between VA1B valve and VTP.
When MU2B valve is in Trail/Dead, it close down due to spring tension. In MU
trail loco this valve will be operated by A1 Differential valve.

28 VB CONTROL VALVE
 28VB PROPORTIONAL VALVE
Located in Short Hood control stand in WDM2 locos & in Nose
compartment in New locos with a COC.
Function: to actuate loco brakes in conjunction with the formation
brakes that are applied by A9 valve.
COC must be kept in OPEN in single loco and in MU trailing loco also.
Charges air pressure on loco in proportion to the BP/vacuum dropped
with A9.
During A9 emergency the max. Brake cylinder pressure will be 2.5
Kg/cm2 as limited by Limiting valve.
Conjunction brakes are automatically nullified during dynamic brake
by a valve called BKIV/ D1 pilot air valve.
If SA9 valve is kept in Quick release in WDM 2 locos or if Foot pedal is
pressed in modified locos these brakes are temporarily nullified BKIV /
D1 Pilot valve.

• Provided in driver’s cab near both control stands.
• This has direct connection from VTP and BP pipe.
• In case of BP/vacuum not destroyed by A9 valve, to apply brakes at
emergency rate this valve must be operated to stop the train.
Note: Valve handle must be in lifted condition until the train stops and
then only A9 valve defect to be investigated.

 MAIN GENERATOR :
It is provided in generator room, driven by engine crank shaft and
cooled by its own ARMA fan. It is a separately excited generator
(field is excited by Exciter Generator)
PURPOSE :
1. While engine starting this will work as a DC motor by taking
current from
the battery through cranking contactors.
During engine working this will work as a DC generator and induced
Power will be supplied to traction motors through switch gear unit
(P.C,
BKT and REV).
During dynamic braking this will work as a DC generator and induced
power will be supplied to traction motor fields for excitation.
EFFECTS ON FAILURE :
1. During engine starting it will not work as a DC motor and engine
will not crank.
2. On run load ammeter will not respond (Traction Motors will not
get supply).

AUXILIARY/EXCITER GENERATOR
 AUXILIARY GENERATOR :
It is provided in generator room fitted on generator gear case. It is driven
by generator bull gear. It is a self excited generator

PURPOSE :
1.During working induced voltage is utilized for battery charging.
2. For all control circuits.
The field is controlled by voltage regulating panel (VRP) to get constant
voltage 72  1, irrespective of notch position and engine speed and field
is protected by AGFB.
Effects on Failure: Battery ammeter will show discharging (Batteries
and control circuits will not get power and control circuits gets current
from battery)
 EXCITER GENERATOR :
It is provided in generator room and is driven by generator bull gear. It
is a separately excited generator. It’s field is excited by Auxiliary
Generator/ Battery

PURPOSE :
Through GF CONTACTOR Main Generator Shunt field is excited.
EFFECTS ON FAILURE :
Load meter will not respond (no field excitation), no current from
traction generator and no current to Traction Motor.
