CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. POWER CIRCUITRY
A Self Propelled Inspection Car (SPIC) is used for periodical inspection, patrolling of the track line.
The power equipment of Self Propelled Inspection Car (SPIC) comprises of a power packs, one power
rectifiers & two traction motors to meet all operating conditions of Self Propelled Inspection Car (SPIC).
The power pack consists of a Diesel Engine of Cummins India make type NTA-855R developing a power of
340 HP @ 1800 RPM continuously and a Brushless CGPISL make traction alternator type C1009A1,
matching rectifier, exciter and rotating diode set capable of developing around 293 HP input to traction by
power pack.
The Traction Alternator is a single bearing type and compatible for coupling with Cummins Diesel Engine
mentioned above. The exciter field current is limited to 6 amps during entire working range of SPIC.
The main rectifiers are suitable for over board mounting and are used for rectifying the output of traction
alternators. The power rectifier assembly is suitable for operation under one bridge failure condition
The traction motors (Type TM2141C) are suitable for mounting on SPIC bogie of Indian Railways. The
Traction Motor is self-cooled type and complies with requirements of IEC – 60349-1. The traction motor has
moulded inter-pole & main-pole coils bonded with poles. The two traction motors in 2P combination will
operate in full field only, utilising full capability of traction alternator. Avoidance of going into a weak field
is beneficial from operation point of view, especially utilisation of available adhesion. In addition, such a
combination provides following advantages:
An electronic diesel engine speed governing, alternator exciter excitation and load control module, type
LCC107B of GAC make, control the diesel engine speed & excitation of the Traction Alternator. The
experience shows that adoption of such a system enables utilisation of maximum diesel engine power on rail,
thus optimally utilising the installed power.
The diesel engine speed will be regulated through the 8 pre-selected steps (notches). Driver can operate the
SPIC at any notch depending upon speed restrictions / desired.
Performance obtainable using 340 HP diesel engine at 8th notch & 914 mm half worn wheels and 20/91 gear
ratio, two traction motors fed from a power pack in Permanent Parallel combination (operating in full field
only).
A maximum speed of 110 Km/h is obtainable with the power equipment proposed by us and meets the
following performance requirements as specified in ICF specification no. ICF/MD/SPEC/349_R0. In
addition, use of our equipment gives following performance capability.
2. Period of continuous running for 4 hours at 100 kph on general tangent track followed by frequent to
by frequent to and fro movement at 5 kph for 1.5 hours on the same gradient.
4. When running as a light vehicle, the SPIC shall be capable of running at a speed of
b. 25 kmph on a 1 in 33 up gradient
2. CONTROL CIRCUITRY
110 VDC supply is available in the coach from 110 VDC, 120 A-H battery. This supply is available to
control circuit in all positions of Battery Isolating Switch fuse unit (BIS-110V). During OFF position, we can
charge the battery from external source through Battery charging socket. Regulated battery charger (415V
AC, 3 phase/ 110V, 4.5 KW) supply 110V DC Voltage to the system through Battery isolating switch fuse
unit for control system operation, supply to electromagnetic equipment, electro-pneumatic equipment, train
lighting, Headlight, battery charging, Excitation Control, Governor Supply etc.
3.2 24 V DC SUPPLY
24 VDC Supply is available in the coach from 24 VDC battery. 20 A Diesel Engine mounted Battery
Charging Alternator (BCA) is used for charging the battery, supply to control circuit, electromagnetic
equipment, auxiliary equipment etc. This battery is isolated from the circuit when the battery is in OFF
position. When Diesel Engines are running, supply shall be available from BCA and corresponding charging
current shall be known from Battery Charging Ammeters provided on the Control Cubicle (Cab-1). 24 VDC
Battery supply is used for cranking the Diesel Engines.
f. Battery Isolating Switch fuse unit– BIS (110 Volts DC) is in ON position and BIS (24 Volts DC) is
in ON position.
g. Driver’s control switch mounted on Driver’s Desk is in “ON” position.
h. Hydraulic oil level switch (HOLS1) is in close condition, if the oil level is above the specified limit.
i. Diesel Engine mounted water temperature switch (TS11) is in close condition, if the water
temperature is below set position.
j. Diesel Engine mounted lubricating oil pressure switch (PS11) is in open condition before cranking
of Diesel Engine.
k. Diesel Engine mounted over speed switch (SS11) is in close condition, if the speed of the Diesel
Engine is below over speed set speed.
l. Cooling water level switch (CWLS1) is in close condition, if the water level is above set level.
m. Ensure the Master Controller Reverse handle in “OFF” position and Main Handle position is in ‘0’
position.
Before starting the Diesel Engine, circuit needs to be reset, which bypass the safety system during starting.
The same is accomplished using “Ready to Start” spring loaded switch mounted on the Driver's Desk.
During starting Engine Trip Relay FC21 is energised and “Engine-1 Trip” & “Engine-1 OFF” indications
glow. As soon as the switch is operated, Relays R11, R21, R41, R51 and R61 are energised and cut-off
supply to Engine Trip Relay FC21 & both the indications go off. Now the circuit is set for Diesel Engine
cranking. Press “ON” the Diesel Engine-1 ON” spring loaded switch mounted on the Driver's Desk. As soon
as the contacts of the “Diesel Engine ON” switch is closed, Engine-1 ON relay S11 get energised though
wire no 1654. Contact of S11 inturn operates Remote ON/OFF Relay R91 through wire 225. As soon as the
R91 is energised, 24 VDC supply is available to timers TR11 & TR21, Idling solenoid valve & hour meter
from 209 through Local / Remote Switch & Diesel Engine ON relay NO Contact. At the same time wire no
213 is energised from 209 through Engine ON relay contact and supply is available to magnetic switch
provided on the Diesel Engine (wire no 215). As soon as the magnetic switch is energised, supply is fed to
starting motor and allows Diesel Engine to start. If the Diesel Engine is not started for set time – say 6 sec
(set value of timer TR1), the circuit will break and disconnect supply to magnetic switch. During the Diesel
Engine cranking period, lubricating oil pressure switch is bypassed by Timer 21 contact. The timer is set at
approximately 8 sec. (slightly more than the engine cranking time).
Switch ON the “CONTROL” provided on the Driver's Desk. This allows wire no. 1602 to get supply &
“CONTROL ON” indication appears. Move the Master Controller Reverse Handle to either forward or
reverse direction & Main Handle to Notch 1 in depressed deadman condition. There is no change in Diesel
Engine(s) speed. Move the Master Controller Main Handle to notch 2. Diesel Engine(s) speed changes to
approximately 1000 RPM. Move the Master Controller Main Handle to higher notches. Corresponding
speeds are 1200 RPM at 3rd Notch, 1300 RPM at 4th Notch, 1400 RPM at 5th Notch, 1500 RPM at 6th Notch,
1650 RPM at 7th Notch & 1800 RPM at 8th Notch. Depending upon the speed setting / Notch of the Master
Controller, LCC-107B(s) changes the actuator current of Diesel Engine(s).
Change the Engine Control Switch to “RUN” position. Ensure that Master Controller Reverse Handle is in
either Forward or Reverse direction & Main Handle is in ‘0’ position with pressed deadman condition.
Switch ON the “EXC ON” switch provided in the Driver's Control Switch Box. This operation set the
control circuit for excitation. Move the Master Controller Main Handle to Notch ‘1’ position with pressed
deadman condition. As soon as the Main Handle moves to Notch 1, LCC-107B (s) get 1st notch speed
through coded signals. Meanwhile, wire no. 3 get supply through Master Controller, Excitation Control
Relay ECR1 get energised and “Excitation-1 - ON” indication appears in LED indication panel. This relay
opens the reset voltage 24 VDC between LCC-107B terminals 13 through wires 203E & 299A. As soon as
the reset voltage is released, the excitation current starts build up from terminals 23 of LCC-107B. Within
few seconds it reaches to its maximum to match the Diesel Engine output power (Gross power – Power
Consumed by Auxiliaries). Move the Master Controller Main Handle to Notch 2. As soon as the Master
Controller Main Handle is moved to 2nd notch, logic signals through wire nos. 4,5,6 & 7 changes the Diesel
Engine speed using LCC-107B to 2nd notch speed i.e. 1000 RPM and excitation changes to get the maximum
output power to match with Diesel Engine output. Depending upon the V-I characteristics (Load Conditions)
of the Traction Alternator, excitation current varies through wire nos. 1901A & 2101A at fixed notch.
External Resistance 12 keeps the Excitation current always below 10 Amps. However, the maximum
Excitation current required for Traction Alternator is less than 6 Amps. Same procedure is applicable for
higher notches also.

This Manual comprises chapters, covering `Description', `Insulation', `operation' and ‘maintenance’ of
alternator. Alternator has been designed and built in accordance with the generally accepted engineering
practices of Indian Railways Loco/DEMU Sheds. In case of improper installation or improper operation or
improper maintenance, machine gives rise to potential dangers which may cause serious personal injuries or
damage.
While designing this Traction alternator, aspects of user-friendly maintenance and easy manufacture were
kept in mind. Technical data have been laid down for the machines in accordance with the specifications.
It is assumed that the planning and execution of mechanical/ electrical installation, transportation, erection
/commissioning and maintenance will be carried out under the supervision of qualified personnel.
In the case of product maintenance / installation / erection / commissioning, it is advisable to take assistance
or services of the competent CG service centres or inform CG works for the assistance.
The direction of rotation is determined from the bearing end of the machine, it is a single bearing machine,
directly coupled with Diesel engine on one side and supported on ball bearing on the other side.

C1009A1 AC generator is a Salient pole type, revolving field Brush-less type alternator. These AC
generators are available in a SEPARATELY EXCITED SYSTEM (with unique LCC107B of GAC,
Governors America Corporation).
The insulation system of the stator coils has been improved for higher voltage operation of the high-powered
D.E.M.U., D.E.T.C. & shunter. The traction alternator C1009A1 is capable of operation at a top unloading
voltage of 750V DC continuously.
This alternator is especially design for Indian Railways by CG. The class 200 Insulation System with
Polyesterimide Resin provides best protection against moisture, sand, salt, humidity and corrosive
atmosphere ensuring trouble free operations under the most demanding conditions.
Liberally rated diodes have been used in rotating rectifier assembly to ensure high product reliability
specifically for rotating application.
The rotating diodes are protected by a surge suppresser, which has the ability to chop the transients from
1600 volts to less than 450 volts.
Depending upon the load requirement, Constant & rated powers have been achieved through excitation,
which have been controlled with the help governor LCC 107B, which is a special feature of D.E.T.C. /U.S.
Depending upon the load requirements of the multiple unit, Governor provides current input to exciter stator,
which induces power in exciter armature, which then rectified by diode wheel (rotating rectifier) and is fed
into main rotating field, ultimately responsible for the power output of alternator.
The diesel engine in the present case has a gross HP of 340 and input to traction is 310 HP at 38 °C of
ambient and at a speed of 1800 RPM. The higher voltage capability of traction alternator enables the
locomotive to be operated at full field of traction motors. AC Generator armature winding is housed in Stator
and field Winding is placed on Rotor. Brush-less construction of rotating rectifier gives the required amount
of excitation to the rotating field.
The excitation circuit is designed to ensure that the excitation current does not exceed by 6 Amps at any
operating point.
3. ALTERNATOR CONSTRUCTION
3.1 STATOR
Stator consists of stator frame, stator core, armature windings & terminal box.
Stator frame along with terminal box is a fabricated structure using mild steel plate. It is designed to ensure
correct distribution of airflow over the Stator core and windings.
Stator Frame
In stator core, Stampings stack is supported with mild steel end plates at both ends & reinforced with landing
bars, which are welded with complete stack & both end plates. Stampings are made of silicon steel with C6
coating for proper welding of stack. These punching are oriented to 90° length one fourth resulting in better
magnetic properties.
Winding is designed for 8 pole, 3 phase, double layer diamond winding star connected, housed in a open
slots, single turn ( made up of single conductor having no laminations.)
The Connections are made to the phase rings by gas brazing and phase connectors are taken to the terminal
box by means of BUS BAR. The phase rings are properly insulated between line to line and live to earth
parts.
Armature coils are made from polyesterimde enamelled glass lapped Conductor for class 200 suitable for
VPI formed on special formers.
Overhang is properly tied up with the help of resiglass tape to the epoxy bracing ring so that the electrical
and severe mechanical stress in case of any abnormal event can be resisted by the windings. 5th and 7th
harmonics are mitigated by a 60° winding distribution and should not normally be the major target for
reduction by pitching.
Stator Coil
Rotor consists of shaft, 8 rotor field coils (4 north polarity + 4 south polarity), diode assy, exciter armature.
The rotor is wet wound for eight poles using epoxy compound and properly interlined to have better
resistance to centrifugal force, then locked with support block to have proper locking. The rotor field coils
are vacuum pressure impregnated with solventless resin of class 200.
The shaft is made of forged medium-grade carbon steel IS: 2004 CLASS IV. The shaft is liberally designed
for overload conditions. The rotor shaft is forged and ultrasonically tested to give greater reliability in
performance.
Rotor Hub
Main field pole is built up of high quality, low silicon, steel sheets, oriented to 180° after every one-fourth
length for better grain orientation and better magnetic properties.
For forming the rotor field coil, main field pole is directly wound with rectangular copper conductor by wet
winding process using epoxy compound, which gives better insulation properties and mechanical strength.
The coils are formed by winding directly over the pole body to give better rigidity in service and this also
minimises the loosening of poles in service. While assembling the wound poles utmost care is taken during
the production stage. Field coils are fastened to shaft with high tensile steel bolts with specified torque and
locked through tack weld in position.
The coil to coil strap connectors are individually insulated and brazed to the coil leads. The connectors are
held and braced to support plate of diode wheel several layers of Resi-glass tape is applied on the connectors
(live surface) and cured fully to form a rigid connection.

4. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
At the outset, it may be emphasised that the routine maintenance of Traction Alternator is much simpler due
to the absence of Commutator and its brush-less arrangement.
Routine maintenance of Traction Alternator therefore, mainly includes periodic cleaning and inspection of
the machine.
It is recommended that the period of inspection should be more frequent in the initial period of service, and
schedule can be subsequently relaxed based on experience. The periodic maintenance schedule chart
accompanied with this manual should be filled and should be periodically sent back to the manufacturer.
4.1 CLEANING
Clean all the dust and dirt from the exterior of the Alternator, taking special care at the areas around air
opening and inspection covers. Air Inlet cover is removed from the alternator by taking out the M12 hex
head screw. Then only the air inlet cover can be removed and it is advisable to take care for withdrawal of
small M6 screw while opening the assembly. Air inlet net to be cleaned only with kerosene or and other
solvent. Dirt & dust of the alternator is to be cleaned by vaccum cleaner. In absence of vacuum cleaner, dry
compressed air is to be used for cleaning. During cleaning it is to be ensured that dust is blown out of
alternator or air inlet duct whenever compressed air has been applied for cleaning.
Wipe the dust over the diode and insulation disc and approachable parts of the rotor field coils and
connections. Best way of cleaning is to moist a clean lint free cloth with solvent for wiping. Recommended
cleaning solvents are given in Table.
While cleaning, look for any defects, hot spots or abnormalities, for taking corrective action consult with
manufacturer.
Periodic inspection should be carried out after thorough cleaning and following points should be given
special attention.
Inspect the diode wheel for any damage of knots of resi-glass and cable holdings. Use glass chord of dia. 1.0
to do the needful as per the perception of operating personal. This is only a temporary solution.
Check machine exciter for any collection of grease leakage from the bearing assy. If the leakage appears to
be significant then end frame covers as shown in a figure are to be removed and the leakage should be
cleaned.
Check the Main Terminal box and Exciter Terminal Box for dust and use blower.
Check bus bars and connections for cracks or frayed insulation, ensuring complete security, of operating
personnel.
Ensure that there are no loose nuts or bolts in the machine and securely close the inspection cover. One
should be Very careful while doing the job on the an side (coupling side)
To be done every month for the following assemblies in addition to routine inspection check, carry out with
specified torque value. Refer maintenance data for values.
14- 16
Cable connections to Alternator
Replace any cracked spring/lock washer or any damaged bolt and also check locking of the remaining bolts
in rotor if it is taken out for overhauling or for bearing change.
In every 3 months, check the insulation resistance of the rotor and stator with a 500 Volts Megger and record
the IR value. The Alternator can be safely operated with a minimum hot insulation resistance of 1 to 2 Mega
ohms. Further fall in IR calls for additional cleaning and re-painting with insulating varnish of stator and
rotor. Sometimes the accumulation of moisture in the machine leads to low Insulation Resistance, then the
machine needs prolonged drying at low temperature of 100-110 °C till the insulation improves. Specially
take care of the deposition of dirt and during the first heavy rains of the season.
4.2.3 RELUBRICATION
50 grams grease (see data for grade) is to be topped up in the end frame bearing assembly only after a year of
service or 150000 Kms of run whichever comes first. . This is to be done in addition to all the above checks.
In the case of damage/failure in diode, diode of same polarity shall be used for replacement. It is
recommended that the make of diode be only of Ruttonsha for product reliability. After assembly, the
continuity of replaced diode to be checked with multimeter. Diode to be assembled at specified torque value.
For assembly please see the sketches for the detailed assembly.
The Alternator is required to be overhauled, even if the same is working satisfactorily. The period of
overhaul can be varied between 4 to 5 years depending on the conditions of operation and maintenance.
However the first overhaul is recommended before completion of 2 years as it is the first of its type in India
and to have the feed back to the manufacturer.
Before undertaking dismantling Alternator, examine its OGA & PART drawings submitted to the customer
during the approval stage and follow it in presence of experienced personnel or someone from manufacturer
side.
It is recommended that, as far as possible, reassemble after overhaul, the same components, which have been
dismantled from the machine.
After removing the alternator from the Engine, Put the slot wedges provides in the air gap of pole tips in
armature portion so that sudden load is not transmitted to the bearings.
Remove bolts of end frame while alternator is kept vertical bearing side up
Use eyebolt of M20 in the taps provided and lift it with the help of wire sling slowly. As soon as the centre is
achieved the slot wedges will fall automatically to ground. It is to be replaced while making the alternator
horizontal. Use the torque level as specified in the table of technical data.
End frame is a push fit on the frame. There are three tapped holes provided on the 725PCD. Jack with M12
bolts to remove the end frame from main stator frame.
Unlock and remove the bolts for the outer bearing cap and clean with a cotton waste thoroughly.
End frame can be removed from the bearing by keeping the rotor coupling face on the stand and pulling the
end frame with the help of sling. First remove from the frame as mentioned above.
Remove end covers and inserts the puller bolts of M20, tapped at both the ends in the inner bearing cap. On
the other end put the plate with a hydraulic jack to pull the distance collar, bearing, shrink ring together.
4.3.1 CLEANING
All parts of the disassembled Alternator, including bearing, bearing housing is to be thoroughly cleaned
before examination.
Cleaning should be attempted by blowing dry compressed, low-pressure air followed by wiping with clean
lintless cloth. Even a stiff Nylon brush or fibre scrapper may be used. In severe cases cloth dampened with
solvent can also be used.
b) For end bearing fits, shafts, metal surfaces use a cleaner which will not leave an oily deposit on
the finished surface.
c) For bearings use cleaner which will not completely remove the oil film from finished surfaces.
Kerosene, petroleum spirit or petroleum solvents are satisfactory.
Cleaning with steam (alternative method).
d) Heat a washing compound in a steam tank (water and cleaning compound) until the temperature
reaches 100 °C.
e) Place the parts to be cleaned in such a position that the steam can be directed from a hose in all
directions for cleaning.
f) Allow clean parts to cool and blow compressed air for removing moisture.
g) For electrical components heat them in oven till the moisture is removed.
After the thorough cleaning of all parts, inspect and recondition as follows:
4.3.2.1 STATOR
After thorough cleaning of stator examine for any loose wedge or damaged insulation or hot spots. If loose
wedge is found replace them with new ones giving proper packing beneath them.
If any damaged insulation is noticed on end winding portions, the same can be locally repaired with glass
mica tapes and glass tapes.
If a hot spot is noticed on the lead joints, remove insulation and examine the brazed joint. If in doubt re-braze
taking adequate protections for surrounding coils by packing wet asbestos putty all around and carry out
torch brazing with silphos brazing alloy strip and rod. Re-insulate after re-brazing. Check insulation
resistance with a 1000 Volts Megger. IR should be greater than 20 M Ohms. H-V test is to be performed at
1kv for one minute.
If IR is found to be less than the specified limit, when alternator was not in use for a long period of time, for
developing the IR, heat the stator in an oven operating at 100 to 110 °C for 6 hours, and check insulation
resistance and continue heating till IR is satisfactory.

Dynamically balance rotor, after the final assembly of diode wheel components. Balance weight can be
added on support plate and on coupling face where provision is specially made for this. Balancing should be
done at 1100 rpm within 5 GMS of residual unbalance.
Examine outer bearing cap, shrink ring, bearing cap for any dents, score marks. If they are of minor nature
attend with a oil stone and rinse. If the damage is considerable same are to be replaced with new
components.
3. Raised craters around the edges. Stone off (do not file).
5. Evidence of rubbing or turning on the shaft. Look for loose Spacers or interference of the
housing parts. If rubbing is heavy or if there is wear on the shaft, reject the bearing.
Slide the outer ring by hand and if the ball drags, scrap the bearing.
Scrap the bearing if any of the following conditions are discovered on any of the bearing parts.
3. Break or crack (possibly caused by striking the shafts with a hammer during removal).
1. Fit the distance collar onto the shaft, if removed, ensuring that it is solidly up to the shaft abutment
face.
2. Fit the bearing by heating it to 100 to 110 °C and shrinking onto the shaft (if already removed),
when cold. Tap the race to ensure that it is solidly up to shaft abutment face. Put identification marks
on both the distance collar and shrink ring.
TEMPERATURE
These alternators are designed for an ambient temperature of 55°C. For marine and other applications where
the ambient temperature is greater than 55 °C, the alternators must be derated to ensure that the actual
temperature does not exceed the specified maximum, Outputs are normally quoted at 55 ° C. These outputs
must be multiplied by the following factors for higher ambient temperatures.
TEMPERATURE MULTIPLIER

HUMIDITY
Machines are tropicalised and can successfully operate in high humidity levels. Correct choice of the
insulating materials and careful assessment of the impregnation varnish system and methods achieve this.
1. Rotate the engine freely one or more round complete before alignment.
2. Check the engine crankshaft endplay and note down the end play (x). This should be measured with help
of dial bore gauge. Once the measurement is done keep the crankshaft towards vibration damper end.
3. Check the TIR (Total Indicative Reading) of flywheel housing. The check is mandatory if the engine was
taken for rebuild and housing was removed.
5. Apply little grease on flywheel pilot bore, as the rotor slides in the pilot bore during assembly as a guide.
1. This alternator being a single bearing alternator Never ever attempt to rotate the alternator rotor when it is
in uncoupled condition as this may damage the windings of rotor/ stator. Alternator is shipped with rotor
locked by shipping bracket.
2. Remove the shipping bracket and mount the flex plates comprising of 8 nos. (1.2 thk) on the rotor by 8 nos
hex head bolts M20X55 long and torque them to 100 lb-ft torque. Engage alternator fan with outer diameter
of coupling.
3. Place the hand-operated jack properly to lift up the rotor and measure the distance between the rotor and
stator frame. This should be considered to be accurate when measurement in all the directions is equal. This
exercise should be made with a view to make the rotor shaft horizontal to axis of the alternator/rear bearing.
4. Now measure the endplay of rotor by playing the rotor shaft from rear end, note this play as “y” and
finally keep the rotor pushed to the rear end.
5. Measure the dimension “b” with the vernier calliper and note.
Dim “a” stand for distance between alternator stator spigot face &
flex plate face, which is fixed on rotor shaft.
Dim “b” stands for distance between engine adopter spigot face &
flywheel face.
Shim selection:
1. if a> b then add up the shims between flex plate & Rotor shaft. These shims must have
thickness as, 0.1 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.6mm.
3. Choose the thickness of shims nearest in multiples of 0.1mm so that both rotor and crankshaft
are at the centre of the travel in their bearing.
4. Two studs 5/8” unc x 100 mm long are to be fixed diagonally opposite in flex plate mounting
hole of engine flywheel.
5. Move/Tilt the alternator to locate studs that are fixed in flywheel, visibly with the holes in flex
plate.
6. 16 nos socket head cap screws M16X70mm to be used for holding stator frame of alternator
with adopter plate of engine with standard bolt tightening practice (diagonally opposite bolts).
7. Cummins supplied 2 nos out of 8no’s hex head bolt 1/2” unc x 3.5 inch to be inserted through
alternator fan, flex plate to flywheel. These bolts are to be partly tightened.
8. Both the studs are taken out safely through alternator fan.
9. Remaining all the 10 bolts are to be placed at vacated fixing locations. All the 12 bolts are to
be tightened at specified torque value followed by the standard tightening practice.
6.1 GENERAL
The ball bearing incorporated into CG Traction machines is of high quality and adequate capacity as
supplied by the leading bearing manufacturers. Every care is taken during assembly to ensure that
the correct fitting-tools are employed, and strict cleanliness observed, to achieve long and trouble-
free operation of bearings in service.
It is essential that equal care is taken of bearings, which may be subject to removal and replacement
during normal overhaul procedures, and of new bearings to be fitted when renewal is necessary.
Bearings seldom break down as a result of normal usage; the most common causes of bearing failure
can be traced to mishandling, damage or stress set up during fitting or removal, dirt, corrosion, and
over or under lubrication.
The following information is a general guide to the care and use of roller bearings. More detailed
literature is obtainable from the appropriate bearing manufacturers.
1) The use of a press or extractor is preferable than to a hammer and drift whenever possible. It is
also preferable to immerse bearing in oil at a temperature of 100 °C for 25-30 minutes, or place in an
oven under the same conditions.
2) If it is necessary to hammer the tool when removing a shaft nut or bearing retaining nut, always
firmly support the shaft, to avoid shock-loading the rolling elements or races.
3) Never strike a bearing directly with a hammer; a mild steel or brass drift or tube should be
interposed between hammer and bearing. The end of the drift or tube in contact with the bearing
should be squared off and free from burrs.
5) When using presses, extractors or drifts for the fitting/removal of bearings it is essential that no
load be transmitted through the rolling elements of the bearing.
NOTE: Bearing failure can occur as a result of accidental or indiscriminate interchanging of bearing
components. The component parts of individual bearings must be kept together at all times and not
mixed with other, similar, bearings and bearing components.
A. General Treatment
Avoid the temptation to spin a bearing after it has been removed from an assembly, and before
cleaning; this is to avoid compressing hard particles, which may be present in the lubricant, thereby
initiating track defects.
Do not clean bearings, which are to be returned to the manufacturer for defect examination; such
bearings should immediately be wrapped in grease-resisting paper and boxed.
The importance of cleanliness when dealing with bearings cannot be too highly emphasised. The
parts must be scrupulously clean to enable accurate assessment of serviceability to be made and, if
found to be serviceable, it is of equal importance that they be maintained in a clean condition for
subsequent build into the assembly.
D. Cleaning Equipment
Where large numbers of bearings are to be processed it may be advisable to provide separate
cleaning, rinsing and inhibiting tanks of a size appropriate to the volume of work. Each tank may be
constructed of mild steel and should be equipped with a drain plug. Wire mesh baskets or platforms
should be provided to hold the bearings clear of sediment in the bottom of the tank. The inhibiting
oil tank should be heated to 90 ° to 100 °C (194 ° to 212 ° F).
The tank should contain an adequate quantity of white spirit / gasoline and should be drained,
cleaned out, and refilled with fresh liquid whenever approximately 100 bearings per gallon of liquid
have been processed, or when excessive contamination is suspected.
2) Second-wash tank
Also to contain white spirit / gasoline and to be topped up with fresh, clean liquid to replace drag-out
losses.
The mineral jelly must be maintained at 80 ° to 90 °C (176 ° to 194°F) and be periodically topped
up to replace drag-out losses.
The tank should be cleaned out and refilled with fresh mineral jelly whenever contamination is
suspected.
To minimise the possibilities of corrosion on the bearing surfaces during cleaning and subsequent
inspection, it is recommended that bearings should not remain unwrapped for more than 4 to 5 hours
while temporarily inhibited. Bearings should always be immersed in a horizontal position in the
cleaning and inhibiting fluids to avoid the retention of air pockets. Rotate the bearings during the
cleaning operation.
The following sequence of operations is recommended and should be carried through with the least
possible delay between each operation.
1) Wash the bearings in the initial wash tank using a bristle brush to remove all dirt or old lubricant.
2) Remove the bearings from the wash tank and allow draining for 5 minutes.
After the initial wash, carbonised bearings may be soaked in hot mineral
oil (90 ° to 100 °C, 194 ° to 212 °F); agitating the bearings slowly, from
time to time. Badly carbonised bearings may be cleaned in a strong
alkaline solution; see the appropriate manufacturer's instructions.
3) Completely immerse and wash the bearings in the second wash tank.
4) Remove the bearings from the tank and allow draining for 5 minutes.
5) Immerse the bearings in the inhibiting oil tank for temporary protection against corrosion.
6) Remove the bearings from the oil and allow thoroughly draining and cooling in still, dry, dust free
air.
New bearings should not be removed from the package until immediately before fitting. It is
preferable to remove the preservative from the rolling members and race surfaces by immersion in
the inhibiting oil tank as in E5 and 6.
If the bearings are not immediately required for fitting they must be wrapped in grease-resisting
paper or unsealed polythene envelopes. Bearing may be stored in this condition for up to 14 days.
1) Totally immerse the bearings in the mineral jelly tank for approximately 10 minutes.
2) After cooling, dip the bearing a second time into the mineral jelly, remove immediately and wrap
the bearing In grease-resisting paper. Store in a dust tight box.
6.5 INSPECTION
After cleaning, bearings should be thoroughly inspected together with associated components, such
as seals. The housings and shafts from which the bearings have been removed should also be
examined. Thoroughly examine each bearing for visual defects such as rust and discoloration,
cracks, wear, indentations and bruising, and track defects. Bearings associated with electrical
machines may sometimes be found to contain craters or pits caused by electrical arcing. The craters
will have a centre of black, fused, metal. Unless the damage to the rolling element or track is
slight, bearings should be rejected.
Rust on the rolling elements is not acceptable and the bearing should be rejected. Very light
corrosion pitting on the races may be accepted, depending upon the speed and loading of bearings.
B. Discoloration
Slight discoloration of the rolling elements or tracks is acceptable, but if the components turn blue or
brown, indicating excessive heat, the bearing must be rejected.
D. Flaking
Flaking appears when fragments of material have broken away from the bearing track. Subsequent
wear in the bearing due to increasing stresses is accelerated. Then bearing must be rejected.
E. Smearing
Smearing is the result of the balls or rollers sliding rather than rolling in relation to the tracks ocage,
causing incipient seizure. The bearing should be rejected.
F. Wear
Excessive wear does not occur during normal operation of the bearing. It is generally the result of
misuse in fitting, external vibration when the machine is stationary - causing local shock-loading via
the rolling elements of the bearing, or the ingress of dirt, inadequate or incorrect lubrication is also a
contributory factor.
Non-operating surfaces
(a) Light rust may be removed with fine abrasive cloth, and the bearing thoroughly re-washed as
described Shafts and housings The shafts and housing associated with bearings undergoing
inspection should be examined for defects. Pick-up or scoring on surfaces, which make contact to the
bearing must be rectified by stoning or dressing.
Surfaces, which are worn below the drawing limits, should be built up if possible or the shaft or
housing renewed.

POWER RECTIFIER
1. BRIEF SPECIFICATIONS
The Rectifier Unit Conforms to ICF spec. No. ICF/M/D/SPEC-349 R0 as per following brief specifications.
The On-Board mounted Rectifier Unit has been designed to feed the Traction Motor load of the SPICAC. It has
been designed to work on 660 Volts max, 3 Phase, 3 Wires AC Input supply derived from underslung alternator.
The Rectifier Unit has been designed to withstand shocks and vibrations encountered in service of a rolling
stock. It rectifies the three-phase AC voltage into a DC voltage. The equipment meets the requirement of IS:
7788.
The function of the Rectifier is to convert a three-phase supply into DC Voltage, for driving Traction Motors
connected in parallel across the Rectifier. Each of the three bridges are protected by Semiconductor grade Fuses
at the input. In case of a diode failure, the particular bridge is isolated by its fuses. The other two bridges
continue to supply the full load current to the Traction Motors. Hence, n-1 redundancy is built-in. Each of the
Main fuses have a smaller fuse called trip-fuse connected across it. When the Main fuse blows the fault current
is diverted to these trip fuses. These in turn clear the fault current and in the process operate a plunger, which
hits a Micro-switch. This condition stays latched and can be reset only by replacing the Main Fuse and the Trip
Fuse. The potential free N/O & N/C contacts of the Micro switches in turn operate a Contactor to give an
indication in driver’s cabin that a Fuse has blown. In a similar manner failure of a second bridge is indicated by
the operation of a second Contactor. In this condition the Control Circuit of the SPIC must reduce the maximum
load current. A single bridge will no longer be able to carry the full load current of the Traction Motors.
Suitable corrective action must be taken. The Rectifier is protected at the input and the output by suitable
Damping Circuits.
The Rectifier is cooled by natural air through the fins of the Heat Sink.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR SPIC‐AC/US
POWER RECTIFIER
The Rectifier has an AC Input and the DC Output terminals are on front bottom side. The draws natural air from
the engine compartment from top and pushes down through the fins of the Heat Sink and is discharged to the
atmosphere through bottom floor.
The side panels of the rectifier unit are made of MS with backup of FRP sheet on inner side for creating higher
creepage path with live terminals of the unit. These are bolted to main frame.
AC & DC Power Terminals (busbars) are accessible by opening front lower panel and CT & PT Terminals are

4.3 COMMISSIONING
The unit must be subjected to routine checkup including checking of the relevant connections. One has to go
through the technical particulars and general feature sections. After checking all the details the Rectifier Unit is
ready for use.
Initially the load may be at half the value for few hours. Check all the components and joints for any abnormal
heating or temperature rise or failure. The Load may be gradually increased, in steps till full load is reached. It
is suggested to report any abnormal behavior to the manufacturer.
5. MAINTENANCE
Although due to sufficiently rated quality components and material very low maintenance is required for the
unit, but following steps will help in giving trouble free service.
Atleast once a month open the side panels and clean the dust & soots collected on panels and within the unit with
dry compressed air or any other suitable means
Check all electrical connections and mechanical assemblies. If found loose, refit it.
Check healthiness of rectifier fuses. Failure of fuse will be indicated by ejected plunger of corresponding Trip
Indicator Fuse. If found blown, replace both main and trip indicator fuse after rectifying cause of fuse failure.
In case of failure of diode, please follow following removal & refitting procedure.
Removal of Diode
Remove the diode by removing the Allan bolts using suitable key.
Clean the diode with clean cloth. Check its healthiness. If found defective, use new one to replace it
Mounting of Diode

2.1 SPECIFICATIONS
2.6. COMMUTATOR
2.12. WEIGHT
3. CONSTRUCTION
The basic construction of the traction machine is illustrated in the Longitudinal section drawing indicating the
components used. The motor construction can be divided under the following heads.
1) Armature
2) Stator with coils & End-frames
3) Suspension Bearing
4) Gear-case, Gear, Pinion etc
3.1 ARMATURE
ARMATURE SHAFT
The shaft is manufactured & ground from Ni. Cr. Mo. Steel to BS 970 EN-25 "V" Bars forged material, which is
ultrasonically tested to avoid any flaws in the raw material for better reliability.
ARMATURE CORE
The Armature core is built up of coated electrical sheet laminations to reduce the eddy current losses.
ARMATURE END-RINGS
The Cast Steel Armature End-ring supporting the Core at pinion end has a mounted lightweight Fan for
ventilation. The material of the armature end-ring is forging for withstanding the load. The End-ring on the
commutator end is also manufactured from the Forged Material. The fan sucks the air from the commutator end,
which travels from the armature core through the End-rings & escapes from the openings provided on the pinion
end.
COMMUTATOR
The Commutator is built up with silver bearing copper Commutator bars with the alkyd vinyl bonded mica.
Commutator Hub & Commutator End-ring are of forged type. The anti-creepage PTFE Sleeves is fitted on the
exposed portion of the Steel Vee-Ring.
ARMATURE WINDING
The armature winding is lap wound type providing four parallel paths. The armature power coil conductors are
kapton-covered conductors for better performance. The armature is insulated & wound with class "H" insulation

material. The resi-glass banding at both the overhang portions is done with the banding machine under tension.
Complete wound Armature is subjected to Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) in solvent less polyester resin.
The Armature Coils are held in the slot portion with the help of slot wedges.
EQUALIZER WINDING
ARMATURE BEARINGS
For the armature bearings installed at both commutator and pinion sides, a sealed type cylindrical roller bearing
with an additional advantage of intermediate grease refilling systen is employed. At the commutator side, Type
NHJ314EMC4 roller bearing is used and at the pinion side, type NU324MC4 is used. These armature bearings
can be operated for 3 years duration without dismounting.
The armature bearing-greasing labyrinth consists of forged bearing components accurately machined. The extra
firm variety felts are provided in the grooves of the end frames to prevent the lubrication leakage. The distance
collars at both the ends are shrink fitted, for the adequate location of the armature roller bearings. The grease
thrower at the Pinion end is shrink fitted outside the Bearing Cover P.E for protection against the ingress of
dust/Gear Case Compound.
3.2 STATOR
MAGNET FRAME
The magnet Frame is of casted type, with the terminal box provision for the main lead terminations. The frame
pole pads are machined accurately to avoid any variations in the pole bores thereby affecting the air gap. The
magnet frame is provided with a bracket for vertical mounting of Gear-case which also provides support to the
top half of Gear-case.
MAIN POLES
The main pole cores and coils are potted to the core with solvent-less polyester resin for better performance &
mechanical endurance. The Main Pole coil is of flat wound type with the frame side coil with 10 turns &
armature side coil with 9 turns. The coils are connected by brazing. The two open coils (N-pole) have the
terminals integral with them whereas the two crossed coils (S-poles) have terminals brazed with them. The main
pole field coils are of construction as illustrated in the fig.
COMMUTATING POLES
The Commutating pole core and coils are also potted with solventless polyester resin. The Compole coil is of 16
turns wound edge-wise. The terminals & connectors are of robust design to avoid the failures under
vibrations/impact. The Compole connections are made from the flexible cables.
This motor is 4-pole type motor and the brush holders are mounted on the frame pads by bolting arrangements.
The brush holders and carbon brushes can be inspected by inspection windows provided. The brush holders are
mounted on the frame pads by two insulating rods. The Brush Holders are manufactured from High tensile Brass
castings. The Carbon brushes of EG14D are of split type for smooth commutation.
END-FRAMES
The end-frames at both the ends are of Cast steel with the P.E. end-frame having the provision of integral arm
with the body for supporting the gear-case.
TERMINAL BOX
The terminal box has been provided in the centre location. The crossover line is fixed to the insulating rod and
lead supporter is used at the outlet of lead wires on the fitting-out side. On the reverse of the terminal cover, the
packing is stuck to prevent dust from coming into the terminal box. Four Main cables come out in the terminal
box which are connected in the sequence of A, AA, FF, F, E when viewed from the front with the Pinion side on
the right side & commutator side on the left.
The Motor Suspension on axle consists of taper roller bearings and suspension tube. The suspension tube
arrangement replaces the traditional use of axle caps & also avoids frequent maintenance. The use of taper-roller
bearings in the suspension arrangement allows the motor to run at high speeds.
GEAR CASE
The gear compound is filled from the inspection cover installed on the gear case. The Gear case is fabricated
type with the assembly in two halves i.e top & bottom half for ease in assembling & dis-assembling. The Top
half of gear-case is vertically supported and mounted on frame and end-frame arm PE. The bottom half is
horizontally bolted with frame and mounted on end-frame arm on PE side.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR SPIC‐AC/US
TRACTION MOTOR
The earthing lead assembly is installed on the M8 tapped hole provided on the Magnet Frame.
The gear & pinions are manufactured by BS 970 En 354 Case carborised steel conforming to RDSO Spec.
MP280009. The gears & pinions are machined in accuracy grade of 6 of BS 235:1987. The gear ratio of 20:91
has been adopted to suit the requirements of the Diesel Electric Multiple Unit application. The Bellow
arrangement provides the inlet for the air through the Commutator end, which escapes through the Pinion end.
The earth brush holder is installed in the terminal box of the magnet frame. The earth brush is made of metallic
carbon and pressed to the axle by the coil spring.
Before the motor is mounted on the bogie there are certain checks which need to be performed to assure a
reliable service in future. They are mentioned as underneath:-
Subject the motor to a light run for 30 minutes to check that it runs freely and with quiet bearings. Also record
the Bearing temperature at both the ends. The vibration level of the motor should also be within the permissible
values of 30 microns.
The motor shall be subjected to a run at no load as per the test schedule & corresponding voltage & current shall
be recorded, the readings must be comparable to the values declared in the test results.
The Insulation Resistance of the windings of the motor (complete) shall be recorded with 1 kV Megger. In no
case the IR Value should be less than 50 Mega-Ohms. In case the value is below the recommended value, the
individual windings should be separated & IR value of individual windings should be checked.
The cold resistances of the different windings i.e. Armature, Main Pole and compole windings should be
measured with the help of the VI method and the variations in the values shall not be more than 5% of the
nominal prescribed values. The Armature winding resistance is measured across the 30 Commutator bars through
the inspection window and then the resistance so obtained is to be multiplied by (50/30) = 1.667 to get the
complete Armature winding resistance.
As regards the assembly of the various other components on the traction motor i.e. Gear case, Pinion and locking
plate, Earthing Brush assembly etc., refer to Reconditioning and Repairs. The Earth lead assembly is to be
fixed along with the copper washer & M8 bolt on the M8 tapped hole provided on Top of the Magnet frame.
These checks are to be performed in the condition where the main motor has been installed on the truck.
The brush holder and carbon brush are important components in particular and have a great effect on
commutation. It is therefore necessary to always perform correct maintenance for obtaining normal operation.
If dust worn powders of carbon brush etc. enter between the holder case pocket and carbon brush and the motor
is operated in the sticking state of carbon brush poor contact with the commutator surface is caused and results in
poor commutation and/or flash-over from time to time. Therefore, in the check of brush holder, blow out the
holder case pocket with air and wipe with a dry cloth carefully.
Contamination of surface of insulating rod may cause a creeping short-circuit. So it should be cleaned by white
gasoline-infiltrated rag as frequently as needed.
In case that the surface of insulating rod has been roughened by flashover etc. correct with emery paper and
clean. If the surface is heavily damaged and cannot be corrected by emery paper and also, crack or seizure is
found in the insulating rod, replace with new one.
The carbon brush in the traction motor is tilted, clearance between holder case pocket and carbon brush increases
in the revolution. So, check to see as required that the pocket dimension of brush holder case and carbon brush
dimension are as specified. If the pocket is found worn beyond the maximum wear limit, replace it with new one.
The quality (material) and shape of carbon brush have a great effect on commutation therefore the specified one
must be used without fail. If any carbon brush of different material is used then, it may cause poor commutation,
unusual wear, damage of commutator surface etc. So never use any carbon brush made of different material from
that in use.
Check if the carbon brush has such length that it can be used sufficiently till the next check.
There shouldn’t be any looseness, drop-off etc. in the tamped part of pigtail.
If the carbon brush can no longer be used till the next check because of wear, replace it with new one. If the
dimension is found equal to 37 mm during the check of carbon brush, it may wear down to 32 mm-wear limit,
before the next check comes round. All such carbon brush should be replaced.
Carbon Brush
After inserting the carbon brush into the pocket of brush holder try to move the carbon brush up and down and
make sure that it moves smoothly.
When setting the brush spring after inserting the carbon brush into the brush holder be careful so that the lead
wire (pig tail) of carbon brush is not caught by the spring.
When the worn out carbon brush has been replaced with new one, make slide fitting so that the carbon brush
contacts the commutator surface correctly. For making slide fitting of the carbon brush, move emery paper along
the commutator surface with the sand side of the emery paper applied to the brush and repeats this procedure a
few times.
After completion of the slide-fitting blow away brush powder with compressed air.
The brush holders are fitted on the Magnet frame Brush gear mounting pads. Carbon brushes can be inspected
through the Inspection Cover openings provided on the frame. The latch type inspection covers provides access
to the brush holders.
5.2 COMMUTATOR
As long as commutator is operated in good condition a film with a certain luster is formed on the
commutator surface. However, if a brush made of different material is used or dust gets on the surface,
ideal film won’t possibly be obtained. Unless otherwise wear of the brush, rough surface of the
commutator, stepped wear of the commutator, etc. are caused, there is no need to be concerned about the
film on the commutator.
Moreover, if such abnormalities occur, perform the maintenance of commutator. Moreover, after turning
the commutator the gap between the commutator and brush holder shall be ensured by shifting the
support block for the brush gear assembly towards the commutator side along the oblong hole provided
in the support block and then ensuring the torquing of around 12kg-m.
The securing block is welded on the brush gear mounting pads on the traction motor magnet frame
which become integral with the magnet frame. Also the securing block and the support block have
serrated faces (16 T.P.I) for ensuring proper grip.
The anti-creepage PTFE coated support spindles support the brush holders on the support block. Also the
sparking tip arrangement is provided on the brush holders and end frames with a nominal gap of 12 mm.
The dimension of the center line of the carbon brush from the top of the serrations of the securing block
is critical and should be maintained as shown in the fig.
The maintenance checks of gear case and gear lubrication oil should be made placing importance on the
following aspects:
Open the Oil filler cap & check the Gear compound level.
When checking the Gear Compound level, if it is checked immediately after stop of the train, it will be
felt as if the gear compound is short. So, check the level after 20 to 30 minutes have elapsed, so that the
complete compound collects in the Gear case.
When supplying the compound, heat it to 60 – 80 °C (so that it can flow smoothly)
After the gear oil has been supplied, keep it for 20 to 30 minutes with the motor left in its stationary
state, and then check the compound level.
Check to see that there is no leakage of the gear compound. If any leakage of the gear compound is
discovered or consumption of the compound is considerably heavy, the felt sealing of gear case might
have worn off. So, check for drop - off of the sealing by removing gear case.
Check for obstructions of the breather. If it is discovered clogged with something, blow it out with air.
Check for looseness of the gear case mounting bolts and for cracks in the gear case.
During the first few weeks in service, check the level of lubricant every week on several vehicles
and look generally for any sign of leakage. All checks should be carried out with the Gear case
warm after a run, but after allowing a short period to settle the lubricant. Continue these weekly
checks until the lubricant level has fallen to the minimum permissible as indicated by the dipstick,
note the time lapse. The shortest time interval on the representative batch of vehicles may be used
as a basis for the lubrication schedule, after allowing a safety examination. Thus, if the shortest time
interval is two months, specify topping up at monthly intervals.
Since the armature bearing is an important mechanical part, it must always be kept in good
lubricated state. For this, a regular maintenance is essential. In the routine check, check for unusual
sound, oil leak etc. during rotation of the bearing and re-supply grease every year. At the time of
overhaul, exchange the whole grease.
SOUND OF BEARINGS
a. In the operation, always pay attention to the working sound of the traction motor and if any
unusual sound and/or vibration are observed, stop the operation immediately, dismount the motor
and look for the real cause carefully.
b. When the traction motor is removed from the truck be sure to perform the running light test of the
motor and check for unusual noise. Check for the noise applying a noise detector bar to the outside
of side cover nearest the bearing at both pinion and commutator sides. In this case even for other
few motors check for noise. When comparing the working sound of these motors with each other, it
can be judged easily whether the sound is different from the usual one.
a. The grease to be refilled intermediately should be of the same kind as that used
in assembly.
b. The intermediate refilling intervals and the amount of grease refilled should be
as described in the Chapter Reconditioning and repairs.
Whenever a gear case is removed from a motor, examine the gears carefully. They should be coated
uniformly with lubricant, which should show no sign of being contaminated with dirt or water.
If the gears are to re-enter service immediately clean thoroughly using xylol or a similar solvent
applied with a brush. Wipe with a cloth afterwards. If the gearwheel is likely to stand for a time,
clean only ten to twelve teeth spaced equally round the periphery, leaving lubricant on the reminder
of the gearwheel as protection. After examination, if the condition of these cleaned teeth is
satisfactory, recoat them with gear compound.
The teeth should be free from cracks and the flanks should have a uniform, unscored polished
appearance. The tooth profile should be substantially the same as that of a new gear. If a gearwheel
has chipped, broken or badly worn teeth discard it and fit a new gearwheel.
Ensure that, as far as possible, gearwheels are returned to service with the pinions with which they
were meshed originally. Do not over fill the gear case, which may flood the PE armature bearing
and cause premature bearing failure. Use the opening provided on oil filler unit for measuring the
maximum lubricant level.
Gear and pinion is to be critically examined before allowing them further for service.
PRECAUTIONS
Whenever a gear or pinion wears significantly there is step created near the root of the tooth where the
tip of the mating tooth runs out of engagement. If the gear center distance is exactly correct, this step
will occur at the lowest point of contact between the mating teeth. However the gear center distance
cannot be controlled exactly in service due to axle bearing wear. As the gear center distance spreads, the
teeth become further out of alignment, this forms step at varying depths.
If the same gearings are used there will be very severe tip loading of the tooth and very poor profile at
the root end of the tooth. This can cause severe noise, vibration and premature failure. The step is to be
dressed up with the help of small hand grinder. Care should be taken during the grinding operation not
to under cut the tooth. Step should be removed before checking the profile of the tooth by profile gauge
otherwise faulty readings will occur.
Gear tooth wear is measured by scaling the width of the land or tip of the tooth. The gear wheel and
pinion should be removed from service when width at tooth tip or maximum wear per flank measures
less or more respectively than the following limits:
The maximum profile error on any worn gear wheel when checked by a profile checking gauge should
be within 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm Gears/Pinions having more deviation in profile than above should not be
used.
Feeler gauges of .05, .1, .15, .2, .25, .3, .4 mm thickness may be required for this purpose. Profile
checking gauges can be made as per the instructions given below:
Instructions for Making Gear Tooth profile gauge (using a new gear as a pattern)
1. Be sure that the gear used as a pattern is new. The gauge can only be as accurate as the gear from which
it is made. The gear should be thoroughly cleaned before using as a pattern.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR SPIC‐AC/US
TRACTION MOTOR
2. Make a "partial" mould. The gear itself will complete the mould.
3. Wax all surfaces, which will receive the moulding compound with silicone wax CP mould release. This
material is made by the Chemical Development Corporation 53 endicott St. Danvers, Mass U.S.A.
4. Lay the pinion or gear on a flat smooth waxed surface with the bore vertical. If a table is not available
make a flat plate and clamp it to the side of the gear or pinion.
5. The pinions are made with tapered teeth that are the tooth is thicker at the outboard (small-bore) end
than at the inboard (large bore) end. The pinion should be laid on the flat surface, with the outboard
(small-bore) and face down. Thus the gauge will be moulded to fit the thicker end of the tooth.
6. Place the partial mould in position against the tips of the teeth. Make sure that all the surfaces that will
contact the moulding compound have been coated with wax as described. The partial mould and the
pinion should be clamped in position with "C" clamps to prevent anything from disturbing their position
during the hardening process.
7. Mix eleven (11) parts of Ren Die Surface Coat RP-3260-B with one (1) part of Ren die Surface Coat
Hardner RP-3260-B by weight. These materials can be obtained from Ren Plastic Inc. P.O. Box. 1256,
Lansing 4, Michigan, U.S.A.
8. This is a modified epoxy resin which has a pot life of about 30 minutes at room temperature after the
hardener is added.
9. Pour the thoroughly mixed resin into the mould until full. Allow the mould to set for several hours,
preferably 12 hours or more.
10. Remove the parts of the mould the pattern pinion or gear the partial mould and the plate, if one was
used. Care should be taken to slide the plastic off the end of the gear teeth so as not to disturb the
profile surface of the newly moulded gauge.
(2) Mechanical
The second method is intended to be used when the injection equipment is not available. When using the
injection equipment, it is not necessary to remove the armature from the magnet.
This method is recommended for the withdrawal of the Pinion from the shaft, as it is superior to the mechanical
method of withdrawal.
Couple up the injection equipment. Prime the pump with glycerine and continue pumping until the pinion
releases.
Disconnect the injection equipment from the shaft and remove the pinion. Blow out the holes in the shaft and
fit the plug for protection.
Attach the withdrawal tackle to the pinion, tighten the nuts on the studs and strike the release pawl with a heavy
lead hammer, tightening the nuts until the pinion releases.
When mounting the traction pinion on the shaft, great care must be taken and the following procedure should be
adhered to: -
Ensure that the shaft and bore of the pinion are free from burrs and irregularities; these should be polished out
with grinding paste. Remove any sharp edges from the oil distribution channel on the shaft.
Thoroughly clean the injection holes and fitting surfaces with white spirit.
Check the bed of the fitting surfaces using a light smear of Prussian blue paste. A minimum of 85% bed
uniformly distributed is required and should be obtained without lapping. Remove the pinion and thoroughly
clean the bore and shaft.
Gently "feel on" the pinion ensuring that it is home on the taper.
Using suitable gauges, measure the dimension between the end of the shaft and the face of the pinion. Record
this figure for comparison purposes after final pinion fitting. Suspend the pinion in a thermostatically controlled,
free circulating oven or use Induction Heater to attain the above temperature on Pinion Bore. Heat the pinion to a
temperature of 140 °C to 160 °C above ambient, for at least 6 hours in the Oven.
Remove the pinion from the oven, quickly wipe the bore clean and slam the pinion on the shaft. Allow the shaft
and pinion to cool to room temperature. Measure the distance from the end of the shaft to the face of the pinion
and subtract this dimension from the one previously recorded. The figure obtained is the advance of the pinion
along the taper and must fall between the limits 2.6 mm to 2.9 mm. If the correct advancement is not obtained,
remove the pinion and reheat, making the necessary temperature adjustment. Fit the nylon plug in the injection
hole.
Clean all external parts of the motor before proceeding to dismantle. Lift all the brushes and wrap suitable
protection around the commutator face.
At the commutator end remove the bearing cap, using three M12 forcing off screws, the clamping plate, locating
ring and grease deflector.
Fit the outer race retaining ring and armature guide plug.
Fit the lifting eye adapter, End frame support tackle and the lifting eye. Turn the motor on end, commutator end
downwards, and rest it on suitable packing blocks. Using a spirit level accurately set the motor axis vertically.
Attach crane hook to the lifting eye and raise crane sufficiently to take up the strain.
Unlock and remove the six M20 screws and lock washers securing the pinion end to the motor frame.
Use three M20 screws to jack the endframe spigot clear at the same time raise the crane to take the weight of the
armature.
When the end frame is clear of the motor frame, carefully lift the armature clear and place it horizontally on
timber blocks, approx. 350 mm high.
Dismantle the armature lifting tackle, and remove the pinion from the armature shaft, as described in the relevant
section.
Release the grease thrower from the armature shaft using injection equipment.
Slide the end frame off the armature shaft. The bearings outer race and roller cage will come away with the
housing, leaving the inner race on the shaft.
Fit the outer race withdrawal tackle. Ensure that the claws remain correctly located, while extracting the bearing
from the endframe, otherwise the rollers will be damaged.
To remove the bearing inner face from the shaft, the withdrawal tackle should be assembled as shown. Ensure
that the billets remain securely clamped in their correct positions while the withdrawal nuts are progressively
tightened.
Ensure that the bearing housing of End frames is perfectly clean and free from caked grease etc. Check the felt
grease seals in the outer race pressing ring (PE), and replace if necessary. The felts must be cut accurately and
square (6mm x 6mm). When fitting, secure them in the grooves with Anabond binder or some adhesive. Allow
some time for the adhesive to set, then lightly oil the felt seals with lubricant.
If it was necessary to dismantle the pinion end bearing, fit the Pinion end frame, with outer race and roller cage
assembled, on to the armature shaft, and carefully slide the rollers on the inner race. Thump grease between the
rollers and onto the cages at the front of the bearing.
Fit the grease deflector and pack the space between bearing and deflector with grease.
Heat the grease thrower to 125 °C above ambient and fit it on the shaft to abut against the bearing inner race.
Retain the grease thrower in this position until it has cooled. Ensure that the bearing cover is clean and the grease
drains clear. Apply ‘jointex’ sealing compound & packing (Nitrile Rubber) to the joint faces of the endframe and
bearing cover and secure the cover with M12 screws and spring washers. Fit the endframe support tackle and
lifting eye.
1. Fit the CE endframe spigot, with outer race and roller cage assembled, in to the motor frame.
2. When the end frame is fully – home, secure with M20 screws and bend the locking washers.
4. Turn the motor frame on end, commutator end downwards, and rest it on suitable packing blocks using a
spirit level, accurately set the motor axis vertically. Fit the armature guide plug to the shaft. Attach a
crane hook to the lifting eye on the armature and lift the armature to a vertical position.
5. Carefully lower the armature into the motor frame, ensuring that the rollers do not damage the inner race
at the commutator end.
6. When the pinion end frame spigot enters the motor frame, pull it fully home by means of the five M20
fixing screws secure the screws by use of locking washers as shown.
7. Carefully turn the motor to the horizontal position, and remove all tools and lifting tackle.
8. At the commutator end, thumb grease between the rollers and into the cage at the front of the bearing.
Fit the grease deflector and locating ring, and fil the cavity between this and the grease deflector with
grease.

9. Secure the clamp plate to the shaft with the M12 screws and locking plate and turn up the corners of the
plate.
10. Fill the outer bearing cap with grease, and apply `Jointex' sealing compound to the joint Surfaces of the
bearing cap and End frame.
11. Secure the cap with M12 screws and spring washers.
12. Remove protection from around commutator face lower the brushes and check bedding. Mount the
pinion on the shaft, using procedure described.
1. Lift the springs and support them on the cylindrical pins on the Brush Holder body. Now remove the
pigtails of the brushes from the Brush holder by loosening the screws then carefully remove the carbon
brushes.
2. Remove Screws and washers from the brush holder mountings and detach the cable terminals from the
brush gear.
3. Remove Screw and washer and detach the brush gear assembly (excluding the Securing block, which is
welded on the frame pads) from the magnet. When the new Brush Gear Assy is mounted on the frame it
should be borne in mind that the brush holder pocket centre line exactly coincides with the main pole
centre lines.
4. Unlock and remove the Screws and spring washer securing the insulating support spindles with sleeves,
to the support block.
5. Remove the insulating support spindles from the brush holder. The support spindles (insulating rods) are
fixed in the support block counter bore dia for better grip.
To assemble the brush gear to the magnet frame as per procedure explained above but in reverse order. Ensure
that the insulating rods are clean and dry and the set screws are secured.
Fit and lower the carbon brushes and retains them with the pressure springs. Also screw the pigtails of the
Carbon brushes on the provision made on the Brush holder body. Carry out the bedding of the brushes, as per the
standard practice followed in the Conventional Motors of Railways.
The main pole coils and interpole coils are resin bonded (Potted) onto their respective pole bricks, & if required
to be replaced, must be essentially replaced by a wound brick assembly.
The air gap is half the difference between the armature and pole face diameters. The tolerance allowed on the air
gaps (armature side) is ± 5 % approx. from the nominal value Remove the insulation tape from the coil
terminals. Remove the set screws and washers and detach the cable terminals. Remove the set screws and
washers and detach the poles.
Also proper recommended torque level should be applied on the Main pole & Compole mounting bolts. Also,
proper recommended torque level should be applied on the M.P. and C.P. Mounting bolts. After assembly,
mounting bolts shall be locked with the help of the rectangular locking pieces in the counter bore dia. & then the
RTV compound should be filled to avoid any dust ingress through the counter bore area.
Secure the main poles and interpoles in their correct positions in the magnet frame, with Mounting Bolts and
washers. Measure the armature air gaps and ensures that the dimensions previously recorded are maintained and
the pole spacing equalized. When the poles are correctly positioned and secured, tack weld the locking bar in the
counter bore to lock the Main Pole & interpole Mounting Bolts.
Secure the cable terminals with Screws and washers (Plated only), and tape the terminals with Silicon rubber

shrink the Silicon Rubber tubes on the exposed portions. Apply insulating varnish over the connections and
cable. Check the cable insulation with a 1000-volt Megger. This should not be less than 2 Megaohms when cold.
Check field system polarities with a compass.
1. Remove all the old lubricant and dirt from used gear case with a steam lance or a caustic solution.
2. Do not burn gear compound from the Gear case as warping will result.
3. Rinse the Gear case thoroughly in boiling water to remove all traces of caustic solution.
4. Dry and repaint the Gear case.
5. Renew all felt seals.
6. Check that the two halves of the Gear case fit together, that is the groove in the top half fits over the
groove of the bottom half and that the semi-circles of each opening are in reasonable alignment.
7. If the two halves do not fit together properly it may be because they were not originally assembled and
machined together.
8. Each half of Gearcase is stamped with the same number.
9. Check these numbers (the number will be found at the pinion end of the Gear case on the road wheels
side, near the horizontal joint).
1. Lift the bottom half gear case up around the gearwheel until the felt seals around the motor shaft opening
and the axle openings rest on the bearing cap and gearwheel hub respectively.
2. Insert one M36 mounting bolt, fitted with new lock washers, and screw down to support the gear case,
but do not tighten.
3. Heat about 3.5 kg of gear lubricant to about 85 °C and pour it over the pinion and gearwheel or
alternatively paint this lubricant onto the teeth.

screw down the M30, M36 mounting bolt. Do not tighten bolt.
5. Fit two M30 joint bolts and nuts, using new lock-washers and tighten with torque value at 35 kg-m.
7. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance scheduling is very important and critical for the efficient performance of the electrical machines.
During periodical inspections, incipient faults or defects can be located and rectified. Such attention definitely
reduces the cost of repair and lengthens the life of the equipment. The most suitable intervals between service
maintenance occasions can only be determined by actual service experience. Initially, the intervals should be as
specified until it becomes possible to change them as experience is gained. In the case of lubricants, the
quantities and frequency of lubrications specified should similarly be treated as guide only. The actual interval
between lubrication and quantity of lubricant should be determined from experience and individual duties of
each machine.
A complete history of each machine, detailing the maintenance effected, lubricant consumption, list of renewals,
replacement etc. is therefore of the utmost importance and is thus advised to maintain such records.
After putting new or reconditioned machines into service for the first time, the following checks should be
carried out, during or at the end of first week of operation:
Check that after the motor has been mounted backlash exists between pinion and gearwheel. New gears are
manufactured to have a nominal backlash of 0.2 to 0.7mm, as measured on the outer i.e. non-relieved end of the
gears.
Check tightness of all bolts, particularly axle caps, gear case and brush gear bolts. Examine commutator and
brush gear and check that skin on the commutator is being formed and carbon brushes are bedded correctly.
Check that after a load run, temperatures of axle Suspension Taper Roller Bearings are not excessive.
Check for leaks of gear lubricant. Measure and record gearcase compound.
a. Monthly
1. Before removing the commutator covers, brush off loose dust or dirt.
2. Examine the commutator and clean the outer, have a well-polished surface and free from bar marking or
bar edge burning.
3. Remove any copper beads from the commutator surface with fine carborundum cloth. Deposits from
dirty or greasy hands should be removed by a solvent.
4. Examine the brush gear and clean the insulating rods.
5. Checks that the brush springs sit correctly on the brushes and that the springs are in good condition.
6. Check carbon brushes for wear.
7. Fit new brushes in place if any brush is unlikely to last until the next inspection.
8. See the Technical Data for minimum length and brush grade.
9. Bed all new brushes to the curvature of the commutator.
10. Check the brushes for mechanical damage, breakage of flexible, etc. Fit new brushes if necessary.
11. Check that the flexibles are firmly secured to the brush holder.
12. Check brushes for freedom in the brush-holder and if stick ring cleans both the brush and brush-way in
the holder.
13. Do not soak the brush, as the solvent will eventually ooze out, affecting the commutator and causing the
brush to jam in the holder.
14. If the brush appears to be excessively slack in the brush-holder, check the brush size and discard
the brush or the holder as the case may be.
15. If brush holders have to be removed from the machine, slip thin; clean press board between each brush-
holder and the commutator to avoid damaging the commutator surface.
16. On replacing brush-holders check the clearance between the underside of the brush-holder and the
commutator. See Technical Data.
17. Look carefully for any signs of flash over, overheating, loose connections or damaged insulation.
18. Top up Gear case to the level of gear oil filler unit. See Technical Data for Grade of lubricant.
19. Top up axle Suspension bearing Grease - See Technical Data & Suspension unit arrangement
Assembly & Disassembly for grade of grease.
b. Three monthly
1. Monthly service plus blow out machines using clean dry compressed air.
2. Take particular care to direct air under the commutator in order to remove dirt lodged in the armature
core ducts.
3. Check tightness of all brush gear bolts.
4. Check tightness of bolts securing Suspension Tube and gear case.
5. Check air inlet bellows for cracking tearing or collapsing. Renew if necessary.
6. Check for leakage from the Gear case and Axle caps. Top up the bearings with the recommended
quantity of bearing grease. Top the roller suspension bearing with grease.
7. Top the armature bearing with grease. Refer to the recommended quantity of the bearing grease.
c. Six Monthly
d. Annually
Six monthly services plus:-
1. When motors are removed from bogies for wheel turning etc. clean pinion and gearwheel and check for
tooth wear.
2. Before fitting the gear cases, clean out old lubricant to avoid the possibility of gears running
subsequently in contaminated lubricant.
e. Overhaul-Three yearly
1. Remove traction motors from the bogies for overhaul and run on no load at about 1000 rpm and check
for noisy bearing rough commutator, vibration and brush chatter.
2. Dismantle the motor and clean the armature and field system. Dry out to remove any detrimental
moisture.
3. After drying out, check the hot insulation resistance of the traction motor & if found more than 1 Mega
ohm applies a high voltage test at 1.5 kV.
4. Check the armature for open and short circuits by a commutator bar-to-bar test at 600 V.
5. Remove the brush holder from the machine. Clean and inspect for brush clearance in the holder-spring
pressure and damage Recondition as necessary.
6. If the field coils and connections are in good condition then dry paint the interior of machine with
insulating varnish such as E-233 red of Dr. Beck or equivalent. If the field coils require repair, remove
and recondition individually. Check the armature bearing details for damage & renew as necessary.
7. Inspect the shaft for damages to pinion and bearing seating and ensure that it is straight.
8. Inspect the armature for loose bands, solder throwing etc. Recondition as required. If the commutator is
worn or damaged, skim the commutator and undercut the mica. It should be ensured that the
Commutator is turned only upto the safe wearing depth diameter i.e. 260 mm
9. Varnish impregnates the repaired or reconditioned armature with the polyester VPI Resin FT2005 of Dr.
Beck.
10. Inspect the axle bearings for wear, distortion and cracks. Also ensure the intactness of the suspension
tube bolts.
11. At the end, dynamically balance the armature ensuring that the maximum unbalance does not exceed
3gm-mm, reassemble the machine and paint the exterior of the machine.
12. Run the machine on no load at about 1000-RPM for 120 minutes to ensure correct operation of the
bearings. When installing the motor in the bogie ensure that all bolts are tightened to the specified torque
values. Fill the Gear case with the correct lubricant to the maximum specified level.
13. After assembly with the bogie, run the motorized bogies for 240 minutes to ensure proper alignment of
the gears and proper seating of gear case felts over axle.
Initially, it is expected that the temperature of the areas near to the felts will go upto 100°C but, after
excess felt has been worn off, the temperatures of these areas will return back to normal temperature
zone of 50-60° C.

CONTROL GEAR ITEMS
CHAPTER VII
CONTROL GEAR ITEMS
Master Controller
Master Controller is used to select various speed of Diesel Engine as well as to change the direction of
vehicle. It has two handles, which function is explained below:
i) Accelerating Handle:
This handle has nine notch positions i.e. 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7 & 8. The vehicle will accelerate as the driver moves
the handle from a lower notch to a higher notch.
It has three positions i.e. REVERSE - OFF - FORWARD. The position of this handle decides the direction of
movement of train.
A locking key is also provided. Reverse Handle cannot be operated unless the locking key is inserted in the
keyhole & rotated by 90o clockwise.
I) Reverse handle can be moved to either “Forward” or “Reverse” position only when the key is inserted
inside the keyhole & rotated by 90o clockwise.
ii) Accelerating handle can be moved only when reverse handle is either at “Forward” or “Reverse" position
i.e accelerating handle cannot move when reverse handle is at “0” position.
iii) Reverse handle can be moved only when the accelerating handle is at “0” position.
iv) A deadman’s mechanism is provided with the accelerating handle. When the accelerating handle is
depressed deadman contact closes & when the handle is released, it opens to cut off the traction control
supply & thus the power to Traction Motors. The mechanism is so designed such that it trips only when the
“Reverse Handle” is either at forward or reverse position.
v) Key can be removed only after the accelerating handle is brought to “off” position and reverse handle is
brought to “0” position.
a) Operating Coil: It is single turn coil, which passes through the yoke of relay.
b) Resetting Coil: This coil is provided for resetting the overloaded relay to resume normal operation. This
coil is suitable for remote resetting operation.
The relay has six auxiliary contacts (3NO+3NC) for use in control & indication circuits. When the motor
current exceeds the value at which the relay is set to trip, the yoke gets magnetised, which pulls down the
armature of main coil. At the same time armature of reset coil is released and position of auxiliary contacts is
changed.
Thus the supply to E .P .Contactor coil, through auxiliary contacts of overload relay is cut off, which in turn
breaks the power circuit thus preventing the motor from overloading.
E.P. Reverser
E. P. Reverser is used to change the direction of field current of Traction Motor, thus changing the direction
of the coach. It is a 2-Pole off load switch, which carries rated current during its operation. It has two sets of
Magnet valves, one each for forward and reverse operation. It has 2 power contacts and 2 auxiliary contacts
(change over type). When forward coil is energised, all 2 power contacts and 2 auxiliary contacts operate &
make connection in forward direction. Similarly reverse connection is made when reverse coil is energised.
Electro-pneumatic Contactor
EP Contactors are required to connect / isolate the Traction Motors to / from the power circuit. These
contactors are On-Load Switches and are required to isolate the motors on load from the power circuit.
These EP Contactors are fitted with a cylinder and piston, which operate main contacts of copper with silver
/ silver cadmium oxide tips. These silver tips are protected from damage due to arcing. A blow-out coil is
fitted to extinguish the Arc when the main contacts are open (on-load) and this is assisted by an arc chute.
When the magnet valve is energised, air is admitted to the cylinder. This causes the piston to rise and main
contacts close.
One set of auxiliary contacts are provided, when the magnet valve is energised the auxiliary contact arm
shall move upwards and shall cause the auxiliary contacts to close.
When the magnet valve is de-energised, air exhausts from the cylinder and the piston moves downwards to
open the main contacts and at the same time the auxiliary contact arm also moves downwards and open the
auxiliary contacts.

DESCRIPTION:
Reverser magnet valve is an Electro-pneumatically operated valve, which controls the flow of
compressed air to and from Electro-pneumatic apparatus.
This is a metal to metal seat valve and it consists of the following parts: Valve body, coil, armature,
armature support, valve stem, valve seat, spring and plug.
When the coil is energised, the armature is pulled down towards the core causing the valve stem to
close the exhaust port and the valve to open the inlet port thus admitting compressed air to the
apparatus.
When the coil is de-energised, the valve stem is pushed up by the spring, thereby closing the inner
port and opening the exhaust port enabling the compressed air from apparatus to escape.
MOUNTING:
The magnet valve is mounted on the apparatus with the help of two holes provided on the valve
body at a distance of 27mm. The overall dimensions of the magnet valve are approx. 80 x 80 x 128
mm. This magnet valve is supplied mounted on the Electro-pneumatic apparatus.

GROUND FAULT RELAY
INDEX:
* INTRODUCTION
* MOUNTING
* DATA
* RATING
* TERMINAL DETAILS
INTRODUCTION:
The ground fault relay is a remotely controlled Electro-magnetic device used for opening power
circuits in the event of electrical grounds. It incorporates a latching mechanism and adjustable
springs for setting the pick-up current.
Any ground in the system completes the circuit and energises the operating coil of the relay, the
relay picks up and its auxiliary contacts open the main power contactors. An indicator provided on
the relay base points to a red dot when the relay is in the tripped condition and it must be mutually
reset after the ground fault has been cleared.
DATA:
Contact Pressure - 105 to 180gm
Operating Coil
The primary parts of the relay are an operating coil mounted on a pole piece, an armature that is
spring loaded and supports the movable contacts, and both normally closed and open contacts.
MOUNTING:
The relay is mounted on two holes at a centre distance of 138 mm with interlock fingers vertical and
contacts pointing downwards. The overall size of the relay is 152.4 (W) x 182.6 (D) x 157.2 (H)
mm.
RATING:
The relay contacts are rated for carrying 5A DC continuously, the insulation level being 120 V DC.
DISASSEMBLY:
i. Remove screws and washers to release coil leads. Remove screws and washers to separate
the interlock assembly portion of the relay from the pole piece and core.
ii. Remove screws and washers which attach the armature and finger support assembly to the
spring bracket. This will also free springs. Remove screws and washers to release finger
support from the spring bracket.
iii. To release NC & NO contacts, remove nuts and washers. With the NC & NO contacts
removed the armature can be separated from the finger block after ends of the movable
contact finger shunts have been taken off the screws. Finger can now be slid out of the
spring bracket along with the spring.
RE-ASSEMBLY:
CONTACT MAINTENANCE:
As the contact tip wear out or burns away, the contact gap become progressively greater and the
contact over-travel decreases. Therefore, periodic inspection and adjustment of the fixed contacts is
necessary to restore normal contact gap and over-travel. If the contact tips have worn or burnt
through or if experience shows tips will be worn through prior to the next inspection period, replace
the contacts
ARMATURE & CONTACT ADJUSTMENT:
The following special tools are required in adjusting the contact and armature gaps.
1. Contact adjuster.
Remove No.3 normally open contact and insert the armature gap gauge. The proper gap gauge to
be used can be determined from the minimum and maximum gap limits. If the gap is excessive,
check for a cracked or broken finger block or bent pole piece. Correct by replacing the damaged
parts. If the gap is less than allowable tolerance, check for any obstructions at the armature pivot
knife edge or where the armature extends through the finger block.
Install over-travel gauge. Use the contact adjuster gauge the N.C contacts at right angle util a 0.0 to
0.1mm gap is obtained between all. Use a feeler gauge for checking gap. Remove the gauges and
operate the armature by hand. See that all contacts make at the same time.
Install the overtravel gauge as shown in fig.8. Block the relay armature in the closed condition to
hold the gauge in position. Use the contact adjuster gauge and bend the N.O. contacts at right angle
as shown in fig.9 until 0.0 to 0.1mm gap is obtained between all contacts. Use feeler gauge to
check the contact gap. Remove the gauges and the block from the relay and operate the armature
by hand. See that all contacts make at the same time.

CONTROL GEAR EQUIPMENT
CHAPTER VIII
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROL GEAR EQUIPMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
ELECTRIC TRACTION EQUIPMENT must be reliable in order to avoid failures, traffic delays and loss
of revenue due to lack of public confidence. The equipment must also operate cheaply for economical
operation in service.
These requirements can only be fulfilled if preventive measures are taken, in the form of periodical
Service Maintenance and Overhaul, which must be thoroughly organised and meticulously and
conscientiously carried out at the times recommended in this Maintenance manual.
The intervals, at which Service Maintenance and Overhaul are carried out, are calculated on the basis of
either time or distance travelled and will depend upon the type of equipment, the nature of service, and
climatic conditions. In the case of diesel-electric equipment, the intervals may depend upon the number of
hours the engine runs.
If the weekly mileage is regular and approximately constant, a time-period basis of maintenance is
probably more satisfactory; but if the weekly, monthly or seasonal mileage is subject to wide variations,
the use of the time period basis would introduce differences in the distance travelled, in which case the
distance basis of maintenance would be preferable.
This is carried out on a regular basis in order to maintain the equipment in sound condition and to prevent
service failures. If maintenance is carried out efficiently at the established periods, the equipment will
operate reliably between overhauls.
Maintenance is usually carried out in the running shed and comprises examination, cleaning, lubrication,
any necessary adjustments for wear, and changing worn consumable parts such as carbon brushes,
contacts, arc chutes etc. fitting new or re-conditioned parts.
Consumable part must not be allowed to wear beyond the specified minimum dimensions. If it is
estimated that a part will become fully worn before the next maintenance occasion, it must be replaced by
a new or reconditioned part. In addition, a sufficient margin for wear should be allowed in case a normal
maintenance occasion is missed, due to the hazards of severe weather or other unusual traffic conditions.
The intervals at which the various maintenance operations are carried out can only be determined by
observation and experience. At first, the intervals should be about one week or 3200 km, and they should
be lengthened gradually as experience is gained without, of course, endangering the reliability of the
equipment. Eventually, when the maximum intervals have been established, they should, if possible, be
arranged to fit the occasions when the vehicle visits the running shed for maintenance of the mechanical
parts of the vehicle.
1.2 Overhaul
This is carried out in the workshop, and comprises repairing and reconditioning the equipment; that is,
dismantling, replacing worn or defective parts by new or reconditioned components, re-assembling the
equipment and testing it for correct operation.
The periods between overhauls are best determined by withdrawing the equipment for service after a
period of two years or 160,000 km, and subjecting it to a detailed examination, which will also necessitate
a certain amount of dismantling. If it is found that the equipment has not reached the Overhaul state, it
should then be returned to service.
In general, periods between overhaul should not be less than three years. These periods are, however,
capable of being extended to five years or more provided.
Experience on many railways, in different parts of the world, has shown that more frequent maintenance
and overhaul are necessary for the mechanical parts of the vehicle than for the electrical equipment. As
the program for the electrical work must be built up gradually, and the periods extended as experience is
gained, every endeavour should be made to fit the electrical program into the mechanical program, in
order to minimise the time that the vehicle is out of service.
1.3 Records
Accurate records should be kept of the maintenance and overhaul work carried out in order to determine
the amount by which the Maintenance and Overhaul periods may be extended. "Cardex" is a suitable
system for this purpose, and it would contain card for each of the items on which records are to be kept,
for example, armatures, machine stators, gears, pinions pantograph wearing-strips (if fitted), cleaning
filters and radiators, etc.
2. CLEANLINESS
Cleanliness is essential to good maintenance and trouble-free service, and the work of cleaning must be
thoroughly carried out at the established intervals.
Metallic dust from the wheels and brake shoes is detrimental to equipment and, if the dust is allowed to lie
on insulation surfaces or to penetrate coils, it can cause electrical failure.
This dust, when dry, is usually easy to remove, but if it becomes bound with water or oil, its removal is
more difficult. Operators must, therefore, avoid leaving deposits, which have this binding action.
The degree of cleanliness, which can be maintained, depends to a large extent on the location of the
equipment and whether it is totally enclosed, ventilated, or outside-mounted.
When no ventilation is required because the production of heat is low, apparatus is enclosed in dust-proof
cases, compartments or cupboards; ensure that the rubber or felt jointing of the covers or doors is
maintained in good condition.
Ensure that the devices for keeping covers and doors closed are also well maintained and lubricated when
necessary.
Compartments, which cannot be seated easily, for example when they are provided with sliding doors, are
sometimes pressurised with filtered air. When this is the case, it is important to ensure that any failure of
air supply is restored without delay, and the filter is cleaned regularly, or changed when necessary.
Although the frequency of cleaning totally enclosed apparatus is much less than that required for
ventilated or roof-mounted apparatus, it must not be neglected if failure is to be avoided.
Apparatus such as resistors and rectifiers, etc., which have to dissipate heat to avoid excessive
temperature, are either free-ventilated or force-ventilated with unfiltered air and require frequent cleaning,
as they readily become contaminated with dirt and brake shoe dust.
On electric vehicles on which roof-mounted apparatus is fitted, there are large porcelain insulators, which
may collect much falling dirt and therefore must be kept clean. Rubber hose for the pantograph air supply
must also be cleaned and kept free of oil and grease. Examine all roof equipment and check for
mechanical damage; remove any debris that may have lodged on the roof.
3. LUBRICATION
In general, lubricants should be used sparingly to avoid contaminating insulation and other parts of
apparatus. Clean the electrical sliding contacts of knife switches, drum switches and reversing switches
etc., periodically, then lightly smear them with 4 x grease (supplied by Dow Corning, USA)
Pivots for contactors and hinged contact fingers, etc., are lubricated during assembly, chiefly as rust
inhibitor prior to being placed in service. Do not add lubricant at periodical maintenance because the
pivots have an extremely long life, even when operating dry, and if lubricants were added it would tend to
contaminate other parts of the apparatus, thus forming a dirt-collecting surface. Lubricate pivots only at
overhaul with grade SAE 30 oil.
Lubricate cylinders, piston, rods, sliding parts and solid (no oil-impregnated) rollers, etc., periodically
with grade SAE 30 oil.
Do not add grease to ball bearing between overhauls, unless otherwise specified in this manual; clean and
re-pack them at overhaul with Shell Alvania 3 or other approved grease. Also use this grease for smearing
the teeth of racks and pinions, and for lubricating sleeve-bearings.
Lubricate oil-impregnated rollers and bearing bushes with grade SAE 30 oil only an overhaul.
Lubricate the hinges on pantograph current-collectors with no-water-soluble grease or oil.
The foregoing information is given as a guide, and it is recommended that operators discuss with an oil
company's local representative, the lubricants best suited to the particular climatic conditions under which
the equipment will operate.
It is essential that all bolts, screws and nuts are kept tight, because any loosening can cause failure of the
vehicle as well as damage to adjacent or associated apparatus. There is also the possibility of fire being
caused by arcing at loose terminals.
Suitable locking devices are provided in the form of high grade spring locking-washers, locking plates,
grub screws or prick-punching etc., and when dismantling take place these locking devices must be
replaced by devices of the same grade of material and in the same form as originally supplied.
Contactor contacts, which are subjected to repeated impacts, connections, which are subjected to severe
heating cycles such as those, associated with resistors, and the smaller sizes of cable terminals, are items
which are most liable to loosen.
Before the equipment enters service, carefully check every electrical connection and contact. Repeat this
check after a week and then every three months for the first twelve month's operation. If at the end of
twelve months, no further loosening is detected, it can be assumed that all connections will maintain their
tightness for an indefinite period and the checking may be discontinued.
The reason why certain contacts and connections become loose is due to the copper deforming slightly
when under pressure, and the repeated tightening causes it to become compacted and work hardened.
5. ELECTRICAL INSULATION
Insulation can fail either by puncture through the body to the material, or by surface breakdown.
Puncture depends upon the quality and thickness of the material and the voltage across it. It follows,
therefore, that if insulating material has suffered damage, it must only be replaced by material of the
original thickness and quality.
Surface breakdown depends upon the quality of the surface of the material, its cleanliness and freedom
from moisture, the surface length, and the voltage across it.
If the surface is contaminated by dirt and/or moisture it becomes slightly conducting and a minute current
will flow along a very narrow track. This current will produce heat along the track, which may cause the
dirt and/or the surface of the insulation to carbonise and the "tracking" current to increase. The action
then becomes cumulative and if the surface is not cleaned, a flashover of power current will occur sooner
or later.
The insulation surface between two points at different voltage level is known as the "creepage distance"
while "tracking" is the term applied to the visible evidence of the passage of minute currents along
irregular tracks on the insulation surface.
The top surface of horizontal insulation is, of course, mere prone to contamination by dirt and moisture
and requires more frequent cleaning than vertical surfaces.
When an insulation surface becomes damaged by tracking or has deteriorated with age, it can be
reconditioned by painting it with good anti-tracking enamel. Such as grey insulating enamel which can be
supplied by brush and which is air-drying.
When apparatus is being overhauled, take the opportunity to recondition the insulation surface, if this
appears to be necessary. If porcelain insulation suffers surface damage, fit new porcelain; however, the
surface of Mycalex insulation or resin-bonded asbestos can be reconditioned by cleaning it with fine glass
paper.
Porcelain insulators which are exposed to the weather may become encrusted with a hard surface of
carbon, copper and brake-shoe dust, etc., which is difficult to remove. By coating the surface with
Metroarc-17 or Silicone-110 grease, the contaminants may be removed easily at suitable grease intervals;
re-grease the porcelain insulators after cleaning. First, apply the grease thinly on the hands, then run the
hands lightly over the porcelain surface.
6. ARC CHUTES
The arc-chute walls, especially the area adjacent to the contact tips, will exhibit charring and soot from the
arc, and splatter from the contacts dependent on the severity and duration of the arc. Maintenance work is
rarely necessary but it is important to examine the arc chute interior for unusual charring or an unusual
extent or copper splatter on the arc horns or splatters which would indicate a fault on the Contactor or its
associated equipment.
If an arc chute is removed for inspection, always refit it in its original position so that the pattern of its
characteristic wear can continue. To achieve this, mark each arc chute to correspond with its Contactor.
When an arc chute has reached its safe limit to working life on a heavy-duty Contactor it may be
economic to extend its life by interchanging it with the chute from a lightly loaded Contactor.
Record any such interchanges so that the equipment inspectors understand the reason for wear on the
lightly loaded Contactor, the arc chute of which may normally remain almost as new.
After fitting an arc chute and during any inspection of arc chutes, ensure that the chute is securely in
position and, PROVIDED THAT THE CONTACTOR IS NOT LIVE, manually operate the Contactor and
observe that the moving contact does not foul the chute.
Ensure that spare arc chutes are always available in the running sheds, safely stacked and kept clean and
dry, to enable any damaged or badly-eroded chute to be changed quickly.
Overhaul
Asbestos develops a skin, which would not be disturbed by rough filing. Use a fine file or glass paper to
remove loose dirt and any copper globules, which may foul the moving contact.
Since un-weathered asbestos is hygroscopic, new or freshly repaired arc chutes should be kept warm and
dry. Wet arc chutes can cause low readings of insulation resistance on the power circuits.
Mycalex is not hygroscopic and the surface can be reconditioned by rough filing, if necessary.
Examine the arc chute mounting arrangement. Recondition Starting threads on mounting blocks and
screws.
Examine the arc-chute interior for signs of rubbing or transferred paint due to fouling by the piston
insulator or the blow cut coil.
Erosion in the form of creators in the side plates, and gutters in the top and bottom spreaders can often be
repaired with an arc-resisting cement provided that the erosion has not penetrated too deeply. Clean
thoroughly with glass paper the part to be cemented. The cement can then be applied with a knife and the
repair dried in an oven or air dried before the chute is used again.
Scrape any soot from the joints between side plates, splitters and spreaders and look for penetration by the
arc in to the joint. Fill any such penetration with arc-resisting cement. Use this cement to coat the joints
during re-assembly of any arc chute components, which are prone to severe penetration.
Ensure that any copper inserts in the arc-chute body are securely fixed.
Ensure that incorrect re-assembly does not allow the arc to strike any fixings, especially which pass
through the arc chute.
7. ARCING HORNS
Contactors with un-swept top arcing horns depend upon a good fit between the horn and the chute to
produce a gas proof joint for the protection of the blow-out coil; this close fit must be preserved when a
MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR SPIC‐AC/US
CONTROL GEAR EQUIPMENT
new arc chute or horn is fitted. This fit should be equivalent to a clearance not greater than 0.25 mm
between horn and chute.
When arcing horns become badly eroded at their tips and become appreciably shortened, fit new horns.
When unswept top arcing-horns become eroded to half their original thickness, fit new horns.
8. CONTACTS
Copper and silver are in general use as contact materials. Although the resistance values are similar, silver
is an inferior arcing material due to its rapid erosion and is used only for low-voltage control-circuits with
light arcing duty and for heavy-current contacts with no arcing duty.
Silver forms on its surface a low-resistance sulphide, which is brown to black in colour, and need not be
disturbed.
Copper forms an oxide, dark in colour, which has a high resistance. This would cause overheating if it
were left on a contact face.
For Contactors (which interrupt current frequently as distinct from a switch or an isolator) copper is used.
Each contact is formed in the shape of a foot with a distinct heel and toe and the moving contact is spring-
mounted on a pivot. As the Contactor closes, initial contact is made at the toes of the contacts and, as
closure proceeds, the moving contact rolls and slides over the fixed contact until final contact is made at
the heels. The action is reversed when the Contactor opens; the area of contact travels to the toes where
the contacts separate, so that the arcing when current is broken has its roots at the toes of the contacts. By
this means, the transfer of current can take place across well-mated surfaces free from arcing. The action
of the moving contact is termed KNUCKLING and is a combined rolling-and-sliding motion.
Copper contacts for light-duty contactors and for switches do not always have a distinct toe and heel with
a knuckling action, but they are always given a sliding action or WIPE, which promotes a self-cleaning
action of any copper oxide that may have formed.
In general, silver contacts close with a simple butting action and such contacts are termed BUTT contacts.
The term OVER-TRAVEL is used for both wiped and butt contacts with reference to some particular
point on the moving contact or its carrier and denotes the distance that this point would travel after making
initial contact if the fixed contact were then removed. It is therefore an indication of the amount the
contacts can wear before effective contact fails.
In some applications, a Contactor may combine the properties of copper and silver by having a pair of
copper contacts with silver inserts at the current-carrying areas. On other contactors, separate pairs of
MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR SPIC‐AC/US
CONTROL GEAR EQUIPMENT
contacts in parallel are used, one pair of copper and one pair of silver, with the silver, contacts closed only
in the fully-closed position of the contractor and the copper contacts making and breaking the current.
DO NOT USE EMERY OR GLASS PAPER to clean contacts, as particles of these materials, which
might adhere to the surfaces, would cause faulty contacts.
DO NOT USE WIRE WOOL to clean contacts or any other electrical apparatus.
When contact tips are being fitted, tighten them lightly, and then finally tighten them with the Contactor
energised or firmly held in its closed position. This will give the best possible bedding of the contacts.
Some contact carriers have a ledge on which the contact locates, so that no movement can take place
during the repeated closing of the Contactor and such contacts must be seated fully with the fixing screw
and tightened before finally tightening with the Contactor fully closed.
On a rebuilt Contactor, the fixed-contact holder may be askew, thus preventing good bedding of the
contacts. Correct the contact holder by slackening its fixings, then tightening with the Contactor closed.
If the contact tips are discoloured by overheating, examine them for dirt or a coating of copper oxide on
both the front and rear conducting surfaces; check also the tightness and bedding of the contacts with each
other and with their holders. Overheating may also be caused by low contact-pressure due to worn
contacts, lack of over travel, or a weak knuckling-spring.
Examine knuckling or contact springs periodically to ensure that no stiffness has developed in the hinge,
and that the spring has not weakened. An experienced inspector will quickly discover any abnormality of
the hinge or the spring pressure by manipulating the device.
Fit new contacts in place, if any, which have worn to half their original thickness of copper or silver.
Always fit new contacts in pairs since it is not practical to bed a new contact with a worn one. Except on
small contactors and auxiliary contacts hand filing of badly worn contacts to produce a true surface
capable of being correctly mated, is a highly-skilled operation and is rarely successful. If it is attempted,
the filing should be carried out with the contacts in a vice so that pivots or pistons are not stressed, and no
metal particles fall on the apparatus.
Transference of metal from one contact to the other occasionally occurs in inductive circuits. When this
occurs, file the contacts to their normal contour in a vice, or if the transference is appreciable, fit new
contacts.
Restrict filing in position to a fine file to remove copper oxide and small high spots on current-carrying
surfaces, also to remove copper beads from contact edges and arc-rupturing areas, since these may foul the
arc chute or may eventually drop into the moving parts of the contactor.
Copper contacts
After a few weeks in service, the appearance of the contacts will indicate where the interruption is taking
place by a rough copper surface and where current carrying takes place by bright copper areas. A dull
surface indicates where the contacts are not mating; such a surface on the heel of a contact would indicate
that the knuckling action is incomplete or that the contacts are misaligned.
A regular inspector will appreciate the condition to be expected from the contacts. Since each pair will
develop contact wear and copper splatter on the arc horns and arc chutes characteristic of its position in
the circuit. As a guide to the amount of wear to expect, the inspector should at first learn whether each
pair of contacts breaks or makes current or both or is simply used for isolation. Note that the contact wear
on some contactors with light duty or infrequent heavy duty under fault conditions, may be largely due to
mechanical hammering and knuckling. The inspector should be able to recognise unusual wear, which
may indicate a fault on the contactor or on its associated equipment.
Current-carrying areas which have a bright appearance, but which have become rough and pitted, indicate
good contact and need not be disturbed.
Silver Contacts
9.1 Lubrication
Lubricate the cylinders and piston rods of E.P. Contactors periodically with grade SAE 30 oil, otherwise
their operation will become sluggish, and this will be detrimental to the general operation of the
equipment, particularly to rupture the arc. Lack of lubricant will also cause rapid wear of the cylinder
wall, piston rod and guide.
In order to lubricate the piston rod of an E.P. Contactor, raise the piston in its cylinder (by pressing the
magnet valve button) and add a small quantity of oil to the countersink which surrounds the rod at the top
of the cylinder to lubricate the cylinder, inject a small quantity of oil through the special oil-hole in the
cylinder wall.
E. P. Contactors with horizontally disposed cylinders do not require the piston rod to be lubricated,
because the rod passes through a clearance hole in the end of the cylinder.
Lubricate the cylinders of reversing switches and change over switches with grade SAE 30 oil, through
nipples provided in the cylinder walls. Before adding the lubricant, ensure that the piston is coincident
with its nipple. When one piston has been lubricated, move the piston assembly to the other end of its
stroke (by pressing the relevant magnet-valve button).
Before refitting a piston in to its cylinder, smear the cylinder wall thoroughly with oil.
Lubricate the rack, pinions and levers of reversing switches and changeover switches with Shell Alvania 3
or 4x grease.
Cylinder walls have a very fine and smooth finish to avoid wearing out the rubber piston seal. Great care
must be taken, therefore, to ensure that the surface is not damaged.
When dismantling the pistons of pneumatic contactors, it should be borne in mind that the return spring is
under compression. When the nut holding the piston to the rod is released, it will tend to fly out of the
cylinder and might be damaged or cause damage to neighbouring apparatus or injury to personnel.
Carefully examine rubber seals at over haul; fit new seals if appreciable wear is evident. Seals are slightly
elastic and must be stretched and forced over the lip on the piston in to the groove.
When fitting a piston rod, anneal the copper washer seal in order to ensure an airtight joint, when refitting
a cylinder cover, use a new jointing gasket because the existing gasket is invariably damaged during the
removal of the cover, and pieces of the old gasket adhere to the cylinder and cover. Ensure that all traces
of the old gasket are removed before fitting the new gasket.
Pneumatic cylinders for contactors are sometimes provided with a loose tube on the piston rod which acts
as a piston stop to protect the return spring against over-compression. During re-assembly work, this tube
must not be omitted.
10. RESISTORS
The following types of resistor are most commonly used on traction equipment
Expanded metal or metal strip wound on edge
Wire wound, mica insulated metal tubes
Vitreous enamelled, wire wound, porcelain tubes
Flat, wire or metal tape wound mica elements
Maintenance
Overhaul
Repeat maintenance.
Re-varnish insulation surfaces, other than porcelain.
Clean metal support frames and covers, repaint if necessary
Check resistance values to figures given "Data for Control Apparatus".

PREFACE
This manual deals with the Kirloskar Green Power Ideas (KGPI) genset operation. The manual also explains
components and parts which a user can service on their own. The maximum performance of the genset
largely depends on its proper maintenance and upkeep. So, please ensure proper Genset maintenance as
per the instructions and schedule given in this manual. This user manual is divided into 6 Sections. These
relate to Genset, Diesel Engine, Alternator, Warranty, Customer Service, Area Office Contacts and Check
Call Cards. Please go through a synopsis of each section.
The Warranty Section is most important for you to understand completely. It gives you description
of all the “ifs and buts” of the warranty clauses and the means to get benefit from KGPI extended
warranty. It also contains a log sheet that you need to fill religiously. Please record the daily running of
the DG set and various parameters.
To ensure maximum life and best performance of your genset, we provide free commissioning
checks and maintenance checks. KOEL Service Dealer will carry out free service checks as mentioned in the
package. Please keep in mind that you would be required to pay for the consumables like lube oil filters,
fuel filters, lube oil, etc.
This Section takes you through to understand each aspect of the genset, its major components and
their operation. Chapter 3 tells you about the installation procedures and subsequent chapter take care of
the electrical control systems and optional equipment that can be used. You must read Chapter 6 and 7
thoroughly to understand the maintenance procedures for genset and batteries.
This part of the manual gives you a complete understanding of the engine operation and
maintenance from a user perspective. All the fluid systems, namely, lube-oil, fuel oil, cooling liquid flows
have been described because the upkeep of these three systems is significant to obtain optimum
performance from the engine. Later in this section, you must go through to comprehend the trouble-
shooting, remedial and engine preservation measures. This section takes care of all the models of engines
used in a KGPI genset. Efforts have been made to highlight those specific areas which are unique to a
particular engine model.
Section E – Alternator
Here we have given you a brief knowledge about the Kirloskar Green (KG) Alternator coupled to the
diesel engine. User needs to read the safety requirements and all the “do’s & don’ts”. In the end, you are
provided with the fault, cause and repair tables so that every time you don’t need to rush to a mechanic.
KGPI takes care of you anywhere everywhere. And this last section contains the information (contact
details) of our zonal offices, area offices and service dealer locations. Each time you run into a problem
with your genset, just look for your nearest office/service dealer location in this section and KGPI will take
care of the rest.
Intimation Card
Please ensure that your manual has the intimation card. We request you to fill the required details
completely in the intimation card and post it to us immediately.
CONVENTIONS
All the significant procedures are highlighted in bold letters in the manual.

C7.1 Introduction
KOEL genset is carefully designed to provide optimum performance and reliability with great
economy and minimum maintenance. This genset package is a result of over 55 years of
actual site experience to deliver a comprehensive system built with advanced engineering
concepts and backed by an efficient service network.
Please read this manual to understand operation and maintenance of the genset. By following
instructions in the manual and proper care, the genset will be always ready to respond to any
emergency standby or prime power needs.
Gensets consist of an alternator driven by a diesel engine. The engine has systems such as
fuel, exhaust, cooling, electrical and control. These topics are covered in detail elsewhere in this
manual.
The engine has a governor that maintains the engine speed within a set tolerance to deliver
rated power and frequency as per ISO 3046, DIN 6271 AND BS 5514. The alternator produces
output with correct voltage, optimum wave form, fast response and precise voltage regulation.

Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
C8. Engine
The engine of the genset has proven reliability and is specifically designed to operate in
conjunction with an alternator. The heavy duty engine is a 4-stroke, compression ignition prime
mover fitted with all accessories necessary for reliable operation.
KOEL offers gensets with air cooled as well as liquid cooled engines. This manual covers only
air cooled engines. Liquid cooled engines are covered under an independent manual.
The engine is cooled by a high capacity cooling air blower mounted on engine and driven by v-
belts off the crankshaft. The blower forces air over cylinder liners and cylinder heads to cool
engine temperature for best performance. Hot air leaving engine is routed away using air guide
ducts. For enclosed gensets, ventilation is ensured by using special fans that remove radiated
heat from engine and alternator while avoiding hot air recirculation.
All engines applications require careful attention to air flow for ensuring best performance. The
notes provided in the Installation Section of this manual offer guidelines for selecting a location
for your genset. Consult KOEL Helpdesk for optimum genset site plan and layout for your
application.
The primary function of the governor system is to maintain engine speed in relation to varied
load requirements. This is accomplished by the governor which senses engine speed and
controls the engine fuel rate, in order to maintain practically constant speed. The engine speed
governor maintains engine speed within limits regardless of the steady load. As the alternator
load increases, the engine speed is reduced.
Because the speed must remain relatively constant, the governor, sensing engine speed, will
increase fuel flow to the engine, thus adjusting horsepower to a point sufficient to maintain
engine speed and compensate for the load change. The same principle is applied when the
load decreases. As the load is reduced the speed would increase, the governor will then reduce
fuel delivery thus decreasing the horsepower to maintain the proper speed.

Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
All gensets are fitted with anti vibration mountings which are designed to reduce vibration being
transmitted from the rotating mass of the genset to the foundation on which the genset is
mounted. Vibration isolators are selected to suit the particular duty and are fitted between the
engine, alternator feet and the base frame. On some of the models the vibration isolators are
fitted between the base frame and the foundation depending on the system requirement.
Exhaust silencer is provided to reduce noise emission from the engine and designed to direct
exhaust gases to areas where they will not be objectionable.
On ‘stand alone’ open gensets, the exhaust silencer is generally placed outside the Genset
room, with suitable extension piping from engine. Stainless steel expansion bellow is provided
on the engine, to facilitate the exhaust piping. For generating sets with acoustic canopy,
residential type silencer is fitted inside or outside the canopy with flange fitting at the outlet to
enable discharge of exhaust gases at desired location, through extension piping, as required.
To protect the alternator winding, a suitably rated moulded case circuit breaker or miniature
circuit breaker (depending on the genset model) is supplied mounted in a strong fabricated steel
enclosure.
Current transformers are fitted on each of the phases on the cabling to the circuit breaker
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
enclosure for current measurement. In some configurations the main circuit breaker may be
incorporated in the automatic transfer panel.
Control system provides protection of the engine against faults such as high temperature, low
oil pressure, over speed, low fuel level or other conditions. The system also prevents damage
to the cranking motor by automatically disengaging the motor after engine starts and deep
discharge of the starting battery by avoiding cranks if engine fails to start.
All control panels are mounted in welded steel enclosures equipped with a sealed hinged door
for easy access and servicing. The control panel is available in several variations to suit the
requirement of the installation.
Engine instruments and the control panel are supplied from the battery fitted to the genset. This
battery also provides power for operation of the cranking motor to start the engine and for the
stop solenoid.
The control panel and main circuit breaker are normally located on a separate stand that is
mounted on the base frame or canopy to ensure vibration free running. More complex control
systems have floor standing control panels. For a genset with acoustical canopy, the control
panel is fitted inside the enclosure. Suitable glass cover opening is provided on the enclosure
to view the instruments.
Various components are visible in this view. Only components relevant to identification, genset
operation or maintenance are listed here. More details of other details are available in the engine
section.

C10.1 Location
Selecting a location for the genset is very important part of any installation procedure. Locate
the genset in an area that will provide adequate ventilation and physical protection for the unit.
Place the genset to allow easy movement all around for maintenance and replenishment of fuel
etc. Ensure 1 to 2 meters space all around the genset.
C-32
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•Adequate fire fighting facilities suitable for diesel, oil and electrical fires should be available at
location.•The location should be clean, dry and have good drainage capabilities.
•The space around the gensets should be adequate to undertake major overhaul or service
operations. In some cases it may be necessary to remove major components.
•The location must allow free ventilation of inlet air and exhaust.
•Ideally the genset should be in open air. In case genset is to be mounted in side the building,
ensure proper ventilation around the genset.
•Choose the direction of placement such that natural wind helps in air flow of the genset.
• Locate the genset as near as possible to the load.
•Place the genset at one end of the site in the direction of wind to avoid dust entry into the
genset.
•In case the site’s atmosphere contains extra suspended particles like at Cement or Textile
factories, stone quarry, the genset may be placed at some distance.
• For highly dusty sites refer to the supplier representative for recommendation.
•The site selection should be complete before the genset reaches to location.
•Ensure sufficient illumination at the installation site. The interiors of acoustic canopy should
be clearly visible without help of any extra lighting.
•Provide suitable, safe access to elevated items.
• Standard tool kit (not supplied with genset) should be available easily and quickly. It should be
C10.2 Foundation
The foundation provides a leveled platform to seat and seal the Genset.
•Supports 1.5 times of the total dead weight of the single genset and 2 times of the total dead
weight for multiple gensets.
•Support the dynamic load of genset while in running. For dynamic load of the genset, please
refer to manual or contact the supplier.
•Isolate the surrounding structures by absorbing the vibration of genset while running.
C-33
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•Provide a reinforced concrete foundation for the genset. Do not install acoustic canopy on
loose sand or clay.
•The foundation should have sufficient mass in proportion to the size of the genset to provide
the rigid support necessary for minimizing deflection and vibration.
•Before easing the genset on the foundation, ensure that no hard material such as stones or
steel objects remain on the mounting surface as this may damage fuel tank at the bottom.
•Design the foundation while considering safe load bearing capacity of soil.
•The length and breadth of foundation should be at least 150-300 mm more on each side than
length and breadth of the acoustic canopy.
•Ensure sufficient space for personnel to walk all around the foundation.
•Check the level of foundation diagonally as well as across length for even flatness.
•In case surface is rough, lay nitrile rubber strips, 15mm thick and equal to the width of the
base frame, under the genset, along the periphery of the base frame.
•It is recommended to raise foundation height about 150 to 200 mm above ground level, to
help maintain cleanliness and avoid flooding.
•Ensure that concrete is completely set and cured before positioning the canopy.
•Consult a qualified structural engineer when seismic events are in consideration.
•The foundation may be located on soil, structural steel, building floors etc., provided the total
weight of the foundation and genset package does not exceed the allowable bearing load of
the support.
•Allowable bearing loads of structural steel can be obtained from Engineering Handbooks
while local building codes will provide the allowable bearing loads for different types of soil.
In case of air-cooled engines, a v-belt driven blower draws in cool and fresh air from
atmosphere.
•The blower’s draft passes over fins on the cylinders and cylinder head to cool the engine.
•If the engine is fitted with an intercooler, part of the cool air from blower passes through the
intercooler to reduce temperature and increase density of turbo-charger’s output.
•The alternator has a shaft-mounted ventilation fan to circulate cool air through its interiors.
•The hot air is channeled out of the canopy through special ducts.to avoid recirculation.
•The exhaust should flow in the direction of cooling airflow.
C-34
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•The radiated heat given off by the engine, generator and exhaust piping can result in a
temperature high enough to adversely affect operation and performance of the genset.
• Locate the genset in a room or area that will provide or allow sufficient ventilation to remove
this heat as well as radiated heat from the engine. If possible, provide exhaust fans to drive
hot air outside.
•If acoustic canopy is placed in an enclosed place, ensure that it is well ventilated and exhaust
gases are driven out of the enclosure.
•It may be necessary to add a flexible connection between the canopy and building ventilation
to ensure positively discharged of hot air from building. Consult KOEL for dimensions and
design of ventilation system of gensets fitted in buildings.
• For weather protection, louvers should be fitted to the intake and exhaust openings. These
For basement installations, forced ventilation through air ducts is required. Contact supplier
representative for recommendation of values of air required and fan flows for various gensets
rated at 1500 rpm. Ensure the exhaust piping has lagging inside the room and silencer is fitted
outside the room.
Maximum allowed temperature rise above ambient in genset canopy air intake is 7°C.
C-21
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•Engine inlet air must be clean, dry and as cool as possible. These conditions will drastically
effect both engine life and performance.
•Air temperature near air cleaner should not be more than 5°C above ambient. Sufficient
window openings are required to maintain air inlet temperature within the limit.
•Normally the inlet can be taken from the area surrounding the installation site. However, in
some cases the condition of the air surrounding the machine may warrant ducting the air from
outside or another room.
• When it does become necessary to duct air in, the air cleaner should remain mounted to the
engine as opposed to a remote mounting (such as on a roof or in another room). This will
eliminate the possibility of dirt leaking through the duct work upstream of the air cleaner.
The exhaust system is used to direct exhaust gases to non-confined areas and reduce the noise
to tolerable levels. When designing a system the main objective is to minimize back pressure.
Excessive back pressure in an exhaust system will create horsepower loss and increase the
engine operating temperature, and emissions.
•Exhaust pipe outside the canopy should be lagged with aluminum sheet cladding. Typical
thickness of lagging - 50mm.
•If exhaust pipe length is more than 7 meter, add additional flexible bellows.
• Higher back pressure in exhaust system than specified limit will lead to:
-Higher fuel consumption
-Poor performance
-Engine component failure due to higher exhaust temperature
-Reduced engine life

•Provide a rain cap to avoid entry of rain water into the engine. Add a slope to the horizontal
run of the exhaust piping downwards, away from engine to the condensate trap. Silencer
should be installed with drain plug at bottom.
C-23
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•If the exhaust pipe cannot be bent at 90 degree, provide a rain cap over the pipe’s mouth, as
shown. In such case, the distance between exhaust pipe end, and the rain cap should be
higher than at least twice the diameter of the pipe.
C-24
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•At points where the piping passes through a wall or roof, a metal thimble guard 300 mm in
diameter slightly larger than the pipe should be installed.
•Bevel the end of the pipe at a 30 - 45 degree angle. Should the pipe end be horizontal, bevel
the pipe from the top back to the bottom. This will not only reduce the noise levels at the outlet
but will also minimize entrance of precipitation on horizontal pipes.

Health Warning
•Inhalation of exhaust fumes is potentially lethal.
• The correct installation of exhaust systems to prevent accumulation of exhaust gas cannot be
overemphasized.
•Additionally, prolonged exposure to engine exhaust noise can be damaging to hearing.
•A genset should never be operated without a fully installed exhaust system and all personnel
in close vicinity should wear ear protection.
C-25
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
The exhaust piping should be connected via a flexible joint located on the engine exhaust
outlet.
This connection serves three purposes.
-It relieves some of the weight of the exhaust piping from the engine.
-It isolates the exhaust system from vibration.
-It allows for some movement of either the genset or exhaust system components.
Long piping runs should be divided into sections separated by additional flexible connections.
This will also compensate for the expansion and contraction of the piping itself due to
temperature change. Any insulation material used for a flexible connection should allow for the
expansion and contraction of the connections, due to temperature changes.
Only fully qualified and experienced electrical technicians should be allowed to carry out
electrical installation work.
Warning: Never attempt to work on live wiring. Always stop the genset and open
the circuit breaker on the load cables before working on the alternator or it’s
connectors. Disable starting of engine while working on genset.
•All electrical work should be carried out in accordance with any applicable National, Local
Standards, Codes or Regulations.
•The electrical connection to the genset should be made with flexible cable to prevent the
transmission of vibration and possible damage to the alternator or circuit breaker terminals.
C-26
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
•If it is not convenient to use flexible cable throughout then a link box can be installed close to
the set with a flexible connection between it and the set.
•The cable may be laid in a duct or on cable tray. When bending cable reference must be
made to the recommended minimum bending radius. No rigid connection should be made
between the set and the cable support system, eg, cable tray.
•When single core cables are used the gland plates must be of non-ferrous material, eg,
aluminum, brass or a non- metallic material such as teflon.
•The cable must be suitable for the voltage being used and adequately sized to carry the rated
current with allowances made for ambient temperature, method of installation, proximity of
other cables, etc.
•All connections should be carefully checked for integrity. Phase rotation must be checked for
compatibility with the installation. This is vitally important when connection is made to an auto
transfer switch, or if the machine is to be paralleled.

•The generating set and all associated equipment must be earthed before the set is put into
operation.
•4 earth pits are required as per Indian electricity rule / local electricity regulations.
•2 earthing pits for genset / control panel body.
• 2 earthing pits for neutral,
C10.7.2 Protection
The cables connecting the genset with the distribution system should be protected by means of
a circuit breaker or fuses to disconnect the output in case of overload or short circuit.
C10.7.3 Loading
When planning the distribution system it is important to ensure that the genset has a balanced
load. Loading one phase excessively as compared to other two phases this will cause
overheating in the alternator windings, imbalance in the phase to phase voltage output and
possible damage to sensitive 3 phase equipment connected to the system. Ensure that no
phase current exceeds that of the current rating of the genset.
Reorganizing an electrical distribution system may be necessary if a genset is to be connected
to an existing installation.
Determine the power factor (cos phi) of the connected loads while ordering the genset. Power
factors below 0.8 will overload the generator. The genset will provide its kilowatt rating and will
operate satisfactorily from 0.8 to unity power factor. Particular attention must be given to
installation with automatic or manual power factor correction equipment to ensure that a leading
power factor is not present under any conditions. This will lead to voltage instability on the
generator output and may result in damaging overvoltages.
C-28
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
The genset is available with accessories and components that reduce noise emissions. These
include residential and super critical silencers, acoustic louvers, splitter vents, fan silencers and
acoustically treated canopies.
The requirements for each site vary enormously and for any critical installation KOEL
recommends a consultation with the dealer at an early stage. The information needed to select
acoustic equipment is:
Noise emissions from diesel gensets (without acoustic treatment) are at sound pressure levels
of between 100 dB(A) and 110 dB (A) at 1m. Kirloskar Gensets with acoustic canopies have a
typical noise pressure level of 75 dB(A) or less (average) at a distance of 1 meter from the
canopy.
Intermediate levels of treatment will prove more economic and are often satisfactory depending
only on the nature and type of installation. Hospital Care Areas will require more attention than
the normal commercial / industrial installation.
absolutely flat, a 1o slope is built into the design of canopy to ensure drainage of water.
• Hardware:
-Open the doors of the genset on both sides and check the tightness of all the fixing
hardware of the various systems.
-Tighten, if found loose.
-Check all hardware on engine- alternator coupling, mountings, fan and radiator mounting.
•Hose check:
-Check proper fitting of Fuel hose. Air hose and Exhaust hose.
•Bellow alignment:
-Check correct alignment of the expansion joint or bellow on the exhaust line.
• Leakage:
-Check for damage on the canopy and for openings on canopy roof which might lead to
water and sound leakage.

A mains powered battery charger is recommended for gensets meant for Non-AMF standby
duty. This is especially important if the genset does not run often. The battery charger will ensure
that the battery is kept in the peak condition for quickly starting the genset when required. The
battery charger has automatic charge control, thus avoiding overcharging of the battery.
In case of AMF genset, a mains powered battery charger is usually built in the panel.
C12.2 Heater
To ease cold weather starting, a 12 VDC heater plug is fitted to the inlet manifold. This heater
plug is energized for a preset interval before cranking the engine. The passage of electrical
current through the heater plug heats the device and the air inside the inlet manifold. The 12
VDC supply to the heater plug should be switched off during cranking to ensure maximum
battery capacity for the starter motor. Ensure that the heater plug is not energized when the
engine is running.
Alternators are offered with heaters to prevent condensation, These heaters are fitted to the
alternator stator winding. These operate at a relatively low temperature and do not require a
thermostat. These heaters should be switched off when the genset is running. An external AC
power supply is required to power these heaters.
Genset engines are available with Electronic Governors to closely regulate engine speeds and
therefore output frequency. Electronic Governor is recommended for gensets powering critical
loads and also when two or more gensets are required to run in synchronisation.

C13. Maintenance
A good maintenance programme is essential for long genset life. Please find a program that
should keep your machine in top running condition. Also included in this programme are routine
maintenance operations required for the engine and alternator (see Engine Maintenance and
Alternator Maintenance Sections).
It is good practice to have all of the maintenance and service operations performed by trained
personnel familiar with genset maintenance. This, along with a good service records system,
should aid in developing an efficient maintenance program. The service records of each genset
should include information such as complete nameplate data with model and serial numbers,
all drawing and wiring diagrams, spare parts stock lists, as well as a service schedule and a
copy of this manual. These records will allow quick reference and may help to diagnose a
problem in the future.
Perform this maintenance before every start up. If the genset is used for standby applications
with little running, these procedures may be required after longer periods like every weekly.

•Make a visual check of the entire genset. Watch for signs of potential leaks from the engine
fuel system, cooling system or lubrication seals.
•Check the alternator for obstructions in the cooling air ventilation screens.
•Check the alternator and control box for heavy accumulation of dust and dirt. Clean any
heavy accumulations as electrical hazards, as well as cooling problems could arise.
•Check the air cleaner. Clean or replace if necessary.
•Check the fuel level.
•Check the engine coolant level (in case of liquid cooled engines).
•Be sure that the radiator air flow or blower air flow is not obstructed.
•Check the condition of the blower, fan and alternator belts and their tension.
•Check all hose connections and hose conditions.
•Check the engine oil level.Maintain the level at ‘H’ mark, top up if level is low.
•Check the battery terminals for corrosion.
•Check the battery electrolyte level and fill with distilled water if necessary.
•Ensure cleanliness around genset. Dispose of any unnecessary items in the vicinity of the
genset that may inhibit operation or represent cause of potential injury.
•Refer to the engine maintenance section for specific engine maintenance requirements.
• Start the genset after all checks have been made.
•Drain condensate traps in the exhaust system, if so equipped, and check for exhaust leaks.
•Check for any abnormal noise or vibration.
•Check for leakage of air, fuel, oil or coolant.

•Check and adjust belt tension of Blower assembly. Replace belt if not in good condition.
•Do external cleaning of Charge Air Cooler fins and coiling.
•Refer to the engine maintenance section, for further details.
The alternator unit should be cleaned inside and out on a regular basis. The frequency of such
cleaning depends on the environmental conditions of the operating site. The following procedure
should be applied when cleaning is necessary:-
•Disconnect all power.
• Wipe dust, oil, water or any other liquids from the external surfaces of the alternator unit. All of
these materials can work their way into the windings and may cause overheating or insulation
breakdown.
•Remove these same materials from the ventilation screens around the circumferences of the
unit. Do not permit such material to accumulate on these screens as this will obstruct air flow.
Such debris is best removed with a vacuum cleaner to avoid redepositing of these materials
on other parts of the equipment.
•DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR, STEAM OR A HIGH PRESSURE WATER CLEANER.
•Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the windings of the alternator unit. This will remove dust from
the coils that cannot be reached with a wiping cloth.

C17. Operation
STOPPING THE ENGINE: Press STOP button; the engine will enter cooldown
buttons. LOAD TEST: Press TEST button. The genset will run and
Mode can be changed anytime without negative effect. Changing the operation
mode while the genset is running will result into a behavior suitable for the new operating
mode.
The STOP mode is entered by pressing the button. In this mode, the genset will be in a
rest state.
When STOP mode is selected, if the genset is running under load, then it will be
immediately unloaded. The engine will continue to run during Cooldown Timer and will stop
afterwards.
If the STOP button is pressed again, then the engine will immediately stop.
If the engine fails to stop after the expiration of Stop Timer then a Fail to Stop warning will
occur.
In this mode, the mains contactor will be energized only if mains phase voltages and frequency
are within the programmed limits. If enabled, the mains phase order is also checked.
If a Remote Start or Force to Start signal arrives in STOP mode, the genset will not start
until AUTO mode is selected.
If the operation of the genset is disabled by the weekly schedule, then the AUTO led
will flash, and the operation of the genset will be as in the OFF mode.
Operational and Maintenance Manual:

When the RUN button is pressed, the engine will be started regardless of the mains
availability.
The MANUAL mode allows also manual contactor control through MC and GC
buttons.
When a contactor button is pressed, the related contactor will change position. Thus if it was
on, then it will turn off. If it was off then it will turn on.
If the other contactor was on, then it will turn off, the controller will wait for the related contactor
timer and the contactor will turn on. This will prevent manual closure of both contactors.
If Emergency Backup mode is enabled and if the mains are off, then the mains
contactor will be deactivated and the generator contactor will be activated.
When the mains are on again, a reverse changeover to the mains will be performed, but
the engine will be kept running unless another mode is selected.
In order to stop the engine press button or select another mode of operation.
The unit provides for both Mains and Generator contactor control even though in many
applications this function will not be used, instead an MCB is used to switch the generator to
and from the load. Contactor outputs are controlled in both Manual and Auto operating modes.
The Mains contactor output can be setup to deactivate the Mains contactor in several ways
-"Immediately when the start button is pressed or the autostart input is activated.
-"A short delay after the start request
-"When the genset is running and able to take load.
The Generator contactor output will activate only after the Mains contactor has opened and only
when the genset able to take load. The timing is controlled by the XFR DELAY configuration
setting.
If the genset was started by activating the Autostart input, then deactivating the input will move
the sequence to the "Run On" sequence then to the"Cool Down" sequence. During cool down
the Generator contactor output is deactivated and after a delay the Mains Contactor output is
controlled to re-activate the Mains contactor.
The unit can obtain speed information from one of four sources.
-Magnetic pickup unit (MPU)
-Generator output 50/60Hz if used for genset control (internally connected from GL1)
-Battery charging alternator
C17.6.1 MPU
The magnetic pickup unit counts teeth on the flywheel and is mounted in the bell housing. It is
important to ensure the gap between the MPU face and the teeth is 1mm to 2mm, as this
distance greatly affects the output of the MPU. The unit requires a minimum of 3VRMS at low
speed to ensure proper crank disconnect. Setup requires calculating the number pulses per 10
revolutions and the calculated number is then entered into the menu system "Cal Value".
C17.6.2 Generator
If the unit is used in a genset application the speed source can be the generator 50/60 Hz
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
output and is connected internally within the unit from the AC input connectors. AC should NOT
be connected directly to the speed MPU / Magneto input. For correct crank disconnect the
generator must be providing a detectable output at low speed and therefore the voltage at 300
RPM must be greater than 40VRMS. This can be affected by the AVR and must be confirmed
to provide suitable signals and timing for proper crank disconnect.
For setup the number of pulses per 10 revolutions must be calculated and entered into the menu
system "Cal Value". The generator output frequency and standard RPM must be known.
A low cost speed source can be derived from the battery-charging alternator if fitted. It
unfortunately is also the most troublesome, and not recommended for reliable and repeatable
long-term service. The difficulties arise from the in-exact relationship of alternator output
frequency and engine RPM. As a result of slippage and variable mechanical coupling both
calibration and long-term stability are compromised.
The ratio of crank pulley to alternator pulley is indeterminate, as it depends very significantly on
where the coupling belt rides in the V grove. Belt tension plays a very significant role, as does
belt wear and instantaneous belt loading. Immediately after starting an engine the alternator is
required to re-charge the partially discharged battery. The loading on the alternator is very high
and belt slippage is common as is belt set low in the V groove. The output frequency may be
lower than expected. If speed calibration is performed at this time, the speed representation will
be too low and subsequently as the load reduces on the alternator, the engine speed will appear
to erroneously increase.
The battery charging alternator output frequency and current RPM must be known. This is
achieved by independently running the engine, and measuring the battery charging alternator
frequency on the W (sometimes D+) terminal. Excitation must also be provided to ensure self-
excitation and an adequate output signal. Some small variation in reported speed may result
but this can be calibrated out later during engine commissioning. For setup the number of pulses
per 10 revolutions must be calculated and entered into the menu system "Cal Value".
The battery charging alternator excitation system is implemented using a burst mode pulse
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
system. This ensures reliable self-excitation while managing current consumption during
standby, heat dissipation during fault conditions, and pulsing the battery-charging alternator
prior to cranking for improved speed signal output.
During standby and Ready, the alternator excitation is pulsed once per minute to maintain some
level of residual magnetism in the alternator but still maintaining minimum power consumption.
On receiving a start signal, the unit pulses the alternator excitation input with a burst of 200mA
pulses.
The pulse width is dependent on the battery voltage. This pulse burst establishes a definite
magnetic field in the battery-charging alternator prior to cranking. This ensures a significant
speed-sensing signal is generated for crank disconnect sensing.
The alternator excitation is turned off and the engine is cranked without the usual alternator
burden loading the cranking process. This aids easier starting. When the engine has fired and
is running, more 200mA pulse bursts are applied. Given the alternator is rotating at more than
the 3000RPM the alternator will achieve self-excitation.
If self-excitation is not achieved this process will repeat for a few seconds before the excitation
failed warning is given
Alternator excitation may also be used as a secondary crank disconnect signal for the case
where the speed signal has failed immediately the engine starts to run. This feature can be
disabled if not required by setting "Excite Dis" to NO.
For systems where a battery-charging alternator is not fitted, turning off the excitation warning
will disable the excitation system.
A battery is considered charged if (assuming a 12V system. x2 for 24V) its terminal voltage is
above 13.1Volts. Typically a fully charged battery has a terminal voltage of 13.6V, above this
and the battery is being overcharged. During cranking the large discharge current will reduce
the battery terminal voltage below 12.5V and the battery cannot increase the terminal voltage
again without the assistance of a charger. This sequence provides a useful mechanism to
determine if a battery is being actively charged.
Many applications have a current meter to show charging current. Such meters provide very
limited value as a good battery will recover its terminal voltage very quickly and then be
maintained with a very low level of trickle current. This trickle current is usually too small a
percentage of the current meters range to provide any useful information.
The unit constantly measures the battery terminal voltage and can detect proper charging and
discharging performance. Voltage readings are taken and compared against an inbuilt voltage
profile. If the battery terminal voltage falls outside the critical voltages for each action then a
battery warning is indicated.
Operational and Maintenance Manual:
Diesel Genset
During standby, and particularly where an on line charger is not available, monitoring the health
of the battery is vital. The unit regularly wakes and measures the battery voltage, if it falls below
the set point a warning is issued to ensure the operator is aware of the need for battery
recharging.
The unit displays the following messages when an alarm occurs. Alarms shut down the engine,
set the alarm output and flash the alarm indicator. The alarm indications can be cleared after
the genset has stopped, by pressing the stop button. The hooter can be silenced with the

Depending on the type of engine, the fuel pump may be In-line or Rotary type.
Fuel is supplied to In-line Fuel by an in built feed pump. A set of fuel filters ensures the supply
of clean fuel to the In-Line fuel pump. The pump creates a high pressure stream of diesel that
is led to the individual engine cylinders through high pressure pipes. The pump has a Stopping
Lever that helps stop the engine when required. The pump also has an Accelerating Lever that
sets the engine speed.

Some engines are fitted with Rotary Fuel Pump. Fuel is supplied to the Rotary fuel pump by a
fuel lift pump (feed pump) a spin-on fuel filter ensures the supply of clean fuel to the rotary fuel
pump.
The schematic diagram below shows the fuel circuit of the engine.If fuel tank is installed below
fuel pump level, then the bottom level of fuel tank should be less than 1 meter below the feed
pump inlet. Fuel pipe from fuel tank to feed pump should be of 9mm I.D.

Air cooling for the engine is achieved by quiet, highly efficient and integral axial blower that has
sufficient reserve capacity to cope up with high ambient temperatures. The blower is driven by
the engine crankshaft pulley through V-belts. The V-belts tension is maintained by belt tensioning
unit.
Air flow from the blower is directed on the liners and cylinder heads by detachable sheet metal
lower & upper cowlings.
Engine requires fresh, clean, cool, and sufficient quantity of air to burn the fuel and deliver
satisfactory performance. Use of clean air avoids unnecessary wear and tear of engine
component. Your engine may look different from the ones illustrated in this manual.

•The air is then cleaned in the Air Filter which separates heavier particles in air by a swirling
action.
•Subsequently, a fine paper element inside the AIr Filter screens the smaller particles from the
air.
•This clean air gets compressed by the Turbocharger. The compression of air also raises its
temperature, which is detrimental to the performance of engine.
•This compressed but hot air is cooled by the Intercooler which is a variety of heat exchanger.
•The Intercooler receives a cooling draft of air from the blower. The cooled and compressed air
from the output of Intercooler enables the engine to deliver maximum output over a variety of
altitudes.
Figure shows the construction of dry type air cleaner used on HA series engines. Dry type Air
Filters are used in heavy duty engines. The filtration efficiency of Dry type air cleaner is 98.9 -
99.9%. Generally two elements are used in this type of air cleaner - Main element & Safety
element.
Restriction indicator is provided for all dry type air cleaners. Cleaning of filter element is required
when restriction indicator shows red signal even after engine has stopped.

The Exhaust System is necessary to direct exhaust gases to non confined areas and reduce
the noise level to tolerable level. Exhaust system should exert minimum back pressure on
engine. Exhaust back pressure should be restricted to less than 50 mm of Hg.
Exhaust system consist of exhaust manifold, adaptor & exhaust silencer. Exhaust piping should
be lagged to avoid injury to operating personnel. Total length of exhaust pipe should not

exceed 15 meters and should have maximum of four right angle bends. Avoid using elbows.
Increase pipe I.D. by 1.5” after every 5 meter length of exhaust pipe. Expansion bellows &
flexible pipes should be installed between engine and exhaust piping.
The exhaust pipe outlet should be bent so that outgoing exhaust gases are not recirculated.
The exhaust pipe outlet should be bent in the direction of wind and the end should be cut at an
angle of 45 degrees.There should be rain trap to avoid rain water entry. If rain cap is used the
distance between exhaust pipe and rain cap should be 2.5 times diameter of exhaust pipe.

•he load current increases proportionately as the voltage increases and decreases as the
voltage decreases.
Examples of linear loads are motor, incandescent lamp and heating loads.
To select the rating of AC Generator for linear loads the maximum connected load and the base
load which is always connected has to be considered. In arriving at a total load figure is always
wise to select the standard rating larger than that estimated. This despite the fact that all the
loads may not be operating at the same time hence a smaller machine could have been
selected. Future operating conditions and future growth are very difficult to estimate. An
allowance of 15% to 20% excess capacity designed into a set now is a small price to pay
compared with the cost of completely new larger unit that may be required to drive additional
loads in a few years time.
It is the nature of the applied load that dictates the system power factor.
1. The loads which operate at or very close to unity (1.0) power factor include most forms of
lighting, all heating elements, rectifier and thyristor type loads & all domestic loads which are
fractional hp motors (washing machine, refrigerator, etc.).
2. For all remaining load types, some knowledge of operating power factor is required, which for
During the starting of an induction motor, a very large current is demanded from the power
source, which is known as the starting or locked rotor current. For better sizing of AC
Generators, the following guidelines can be referred to.
Over a period of time the loads applied to AC generators have become more complex and more
care has to be exercised in the sizing of the generators to ensure satisfactory performance.
a) A non linear load is one in which the load current is not proportional to the instantaneous
voltage. Often the load current is not continuous.
b) These are essentially electronic loads such as computers, UPS equipments and variable
speed motor drives.
a) Non linear loads generate harmonics in their current waveform which in turn leads to
distortion of the AC generator waveform. Depending upon the degree of voltage waveform
distortion this can lead to instability of the excitation systems and impact on other loads being
supplied by the generator.
b) Odd order harmonics cause heating of neutral conductors.
The above percentage figures are guidelines. There may be a problem with electronic load,
trying to cope with distorted waveform if distortion levels are unacceptable to the load.

The compact air conditioning unit has two separate cooling circuits
consisting of the following components:
(Figure 3-3)
In the generator car also four fresh air screen are installed at the coach
ends parallel to the air conditioning unit.
These screens are fitted with exchangeable air filters (fig-3-5) out side air
filters.
(Figure 3-5)
The supply air is first carried via silencers into the thermally insulated supply air duct,
which is diagonally split in the longitudinal direction. The air is then supplied via
openings in the bottom into a compensating chamber and from there via the
perforated ceiling into the passenger compartment.
(Figure 5-1)
Switch S1U1S1 (Fig. 5-1) (A4I2=K15) on the switch panel turns the HVAC system on.
At first 24V must be supplied. The computer adopts the operating mode. In addition,
the „ 400V OK” signal must be available on input A4I3=K16. In this state the system is
ready for controlled operation.
Switch S1U1S1 when set to position 0 turns the system off. All components enter a safe status.
The switch panel contains two indicating instruments for suction pressure and high
pressure. Switch S1U1S2 (Fig. 5-1) sets these instruments to the required refrigerating
circuit. The switch has four positions.
5.2.3 Air-conditioning unit
5.2.3.1 Fan operation
When the air-conditioning system is turned on with switch S1U4S1 band the 400V level is
available at K48 then output activates contactor K20. This turns on the supply air fan in
CACU1. Similarly, the same input conditions enable contactor K27. The supply air fan in
CACU2 starts running. Together with the supply air fans the three exhaust fans must turn
on. This is achieved by activating contactor K24 .
Two conditions must be met for ventilation mode:
1. The indoor temperature exceeds the set point temperature by at least 1K in heating
mode or falls short of the set point temperature by at least 1K in cooling mode. Ventilation

2. With the HVAC system turned on, the controller fails due to a defect. The signal on
output causes control contactor K22 to drop out. This is the signal for the
emergency ventilation mode to be turned on.

heating output is controlled by the two heating contactors K35 and K40, which can be
actuated separately by one output each. The heating coil in CACU2 heating coil.
The heater is cycled as per specification No- RDSO/PE/SPEC/AC/0139-2009 (rev 1)
Several safety requirements must be met for switching the heater coils:
The supply air fans of the unit must be running. This means that output must be set for
the fans and the feed back signal of the contactors (thermal contact OK) must also be
supplied to the controller (input K13 and K14).
Heating
In addition of this, before supplying the make signal to the heater contactors, it must be coil
checked that monitoring thermostats of the heating coils (K17=1L and K18=1l,
respectively) have not tripped.
The heater must not start running in the following conditions exist:
When operating switch S1U4S1 (Fig. 5-1) is turned off;
At a duct temperature over 65°C (overtemperature protection at C6S2 and C7S2, resp.);
When the appropriate duct temperature sensor (C6S2 and C7S2, resp.) is not
working properly;
At the second step in cooling mode (see chapter 5.2.2.6 Dehumidification)
If an error message of the appropriate supply air fan (K13 and K14, resp.) exists.
If an error message of the heating coil thermostat exist;
If there is no 400V feed (K16

As a next step the pressure states are to be sampled. The low- pressure pressostats
also in each refrigerating circuit connected to in puts K6, K8, K10 and K12 is used. The
high pressure pressostats use logic 0 as the OK signal. If erroneously the pressostats
should switch, the 1L signal on input K5, K7, K9 or K11 and the respective contacts are
disabled by the pressstat. To test the function of a released pressostat, the compressor
output must be actuated two more times after 6 min each to enable a signal to be read at
the input. The procedure must be repeated after 12 hours.
Now the compressor of the appropriate circuit can be started via output K101, K102,
K103 & K104. These outputs also turn on the each a/c unit has a by-pass valve installed
in the first refrigerating circuit, which can be actuated via outputs K107 and K108.
The following parameters must be met for compressor operation:
Minimum on period 1 min
Minimum off period 1 min
Max. number of switching operations per hour: 10 times
To achieve equal load distribution on both refrigeration sets in either unit, if a step 2
request is received, the compressors are either controlled to run for the duration of the
second –step request.
Each refrigeration set contains two condenser fans. These fans are controlled individually Condenser
by the controller via dedicated output. The procedure is to turn on the first fan (M3) to run fan
continuously in cooling mode. The second fans in the

refrigeration circuits will only turn on if one of the two control pressure pressostats sends
a signal to input of controller. The fans are turn off again when these signals are reset.
The fans are actuated via outputs of controller.
The refrigerating system (compressor) is blocked / switched off in the following conditions
When operating switch S1U4S1 is turned off;
When an error message exists in the safety chain (high pressure K5, K7, K9,
K11=1L)
When a suction pressure error message exists (K6, K8, K10 K12=0L) and this Compressor
message is not reset within 120s while the compressor is switched on
When the switching frequency limit is exceeds (C6S2, C7S2)
When the duct temperature sensor (AA005, AA007) is not working properly;
At duct temperature below 10°C (C6S1, C7S2)
If a suction pressure error occur three times in 30 minutes in cooling mode, the
compressor is blocked continuously.
5.2.2.6 Dehumidification
The dehumidification function is available at cooling mode step 2. It is used if the relative
humidity of the room air rises to 60%. This condition is monitoring by the moisture sensor
in input C7S3. If the relative humidity is less than 60%, a simulated temperature of below
60°C is measured (appr. 10 k ). When the sensor switches, this resistance is reduced
via a measuring bridge so as to enable measurement over (appr.1 k ).
During dehumidification, the room temperature is controlled by the extra heater. Extra
heating is maintained until
Dehumidification
The cooling power of the second step becomes insufficient to maintain the
room temperature even at maximum cooling output, or
The moisture sensor relative humidity of less than 60%.
In dehumidification service, a max 50% of the cooling output is allowed to ensure that the
combined power consumption of the refrigerating and heating units does not exceed the
maximum cooling output. This is ensured by limiting the dehumidification function to
cooling step 2. The higher power consumption that would be needed if 2 compressors
were turned on simultaneously is avoided by delaying the start of the second compressor
by 5s.
When the heating coils, observe the safety instructions in chapter 5.2.2.4 control of the
heating coil in the air treatment unit.
Air flap
Output controller OK of Digital Controller signal is indicates the controller is ready for
service or working. When 24V is supplied, the computer is operating even if the air
conditioning unit is turned off, this means that in turned off condition the LED shows
readiness for service, in regular operation contractor K22 picks up and changes from
emergency operation to normal operation. The output must not be enabled if regular
operation is not possible because an internal error has occurred.
Both fans are monitoring separately by thermal contacts and can be turned off separately
if an error occurs. If an error message is received, the failing fan is blocked and the
cooling output reduced. This is achieved by allowing only one refrigerating circuit to
remain in operation. The thermal contacts must be monitored further and the fan turned
on again after the return of the signal. If a thermal error occurs error memory (see
chapter 9.5 error memory)

5.2.3.6 Heating coil
See description of the heater start up in chapter 5.2.2.4 Control of the heating coil in the
air treatment unit.
Connected to output K119 is a pilot lamp mounted on the switch panel. The pilot
should light if an error disrupts the function of the air conditioning system to the degree
that regular operation is no longer possible. For a description of errors indicated by the
pilot, see the list of error number in chapter 9.5
The pilot should extinguish automatically if the case which made it light no longer. The
lamp is reset either by turning off the air conditioning system (K118=0L) and starting it
again after cleaning the error or by resetting the error memory.
The two coils of the high voltage heater have a thermal contact which sends a signal
to the computer (input K17 and K18=0L, resp.) if an error occurs. The failing heating
coil must be turned off by the computer immediately.
The heating coil must not be started again unless the thermal contacts close gain Thermal
when the coil has cooled down. If the coil is turned off 5 times in one hour, the heater contact
is blocked permanently The same happens if the thermostat is not reset 3 minutes
after it tripped.
The error is entered in the error memory and the pilot lamp lights.
The supply air fans are protected from over temperature by thermal contacts. These
contacts are integrated in the control circuit of the contactor. If a thermal contact fails,
an error message is sent to the contactor via the auxiliary contact.
The function control is indirect. As the thermal contacts are directly integrated in the
control circuit, their function is sampled by the feedback signal of the contactor. If an
error occurs, the failing fan must be actuated reputedly to find out if the thermal
contact has closed again. If same error occur three times in one hour, the failing fan is
blocked permanently and entered in the error memory (see chapter 9.5 Error memory)
The pilot lights
The error is entered in the error memory (see chapter 8, Page-42, Error memory)
and the pilot lights.
For information:
If a high pressure error exists, the pressostat is interlocked mechanically and
cannot be restarted by the controller. The pressostat resets automatically if the
pressure drops below the minimum level. The purpose of the test routine is to
identify a functional error of the pressostats.
5.3 Diagnosis
The diagnostic concept of the Indian Railways requires the following monitoring
functions.
Monitoring the refrigerating circuit for low pressure and high pressure.
In addition to the monitoring functions, the train and maintenance staff can read
the current pressure values at the switch panel.
The following inputs and outputs are monitored for idling and short circuit. If an
error occurs, an entry is made in the error memory. For a description of sensor
error priority and the action to be taken, see chapter 5.1.2.
Disruption of service
All errors contained in the list (next page) cause the pilot to light. The pilot lights
for as long as the error exists, the computer is turned off (by F11 interruption of
voltage supply) or the error memory is deleted.
6. Safety devices
All current –carrying components such as motors, heaters and the like are
earthed with respect to the coach body.
All motors of the fans Klixon). If a motor heats up impermissibly, the thermal
protection system switches of the motor via the controller.
The electric heaters are protected in two ways against over temperature. If the
supply air temperatures reach an impermissible level, a Klixon device switches
the heater off via the control system. If this safety feature fails, the heater is
finally switched off by a relief device(ESTI).
(Figure 6-1)
To prevent overpressure or under pressure in the two parallel connected cooling circuits of an air
conditioning unit, a high pressure switch and a control pressure switch are used. Pressure gauges
can be connected via a Schrader valve in the pressure line and in the suction line to determine
refrigerant pressures.
