TRANSFORMER COMMERCIAL (TRC)
The objective of the department is interaction with the customers. It brings out
tenders and notices and also responds to them. It is this department that bags
contracts of building transformers. After delivery regarding faults, this department
does failures and maintenance. All such snags are reported to them and they
forward the information to the concerning department.
One of the major tasks of this department is to earn decent profits over all
negotiations. Transformer industry has become very competitive. The company
offering the lowest price gets the contract but this process may continue does the
work on very low profits. To avoid such a situation, a body by the name of India
Electrical and Electronics Manufactures Association (IEEMA) was set up. This
association helps to maintain a healthy competitive atmosphere in the manufacturing
of electrical appliances.

There are four types of coil fixed in a transformer, they are :
1. Low voltage coil (LV)
2. High voltage coil (HV)
3. Tertiary coil
4. Tap coil
The type of winding depends upon job requirement. Also, the width and thickness
of the conductors are designed particulars and are decided by design department.

Conductors used for winding is in the form of very long strips wound on a spool, the
conductor is covered by cellulose paper for insulation.
For winding first the mould of diameter equal to inner dia meter of required coil is
made .The specification of coil are given in drawing. The diameter of mould is
adjustable as its body is made up of wooden sections that interlock with each
other. This interlocking can be increased or decreased to adjust the inner diameter
of coil.

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER
These are used for measurement. Actual measurement is done by measuring
instruments but these transformers serve the purpose of stepping down the voltage
to protect the measuring instrument. They are used in AC system for measurement
of current voltage and energy and can also be used for measuring power factor,
frequency and for indication of synchronism. They find application in protection of
power system and for the operation of over voltage, over current, earth fault and
various other types of relays.

18
ESP TRANSFORMER
The Electrostatic Precipitator transformer is used for environmental application. It is
used to filter in a suspended charge particle in the waste gases of an industry. They
are of particular use in thermal power stations and cement industry.
The ESP is a single-phase transformer. It has a primary and secondary. The core is
laminated and is made up of CRGOS. It is a step up transformer. An AC reactor is
connected in series with primary coil. The output of the transformer must be DC the
is obtained by rectifying AC using a bridge rectifier (bridge rectifier is a combination
of several hundred diodes). A radio frequency choke (RF choke) is connected in
series with the DC output for the protection of the secondary circuit and filter circuit.
The output is chosen negative because the particles are positively charged. The DC
output from the secondary is given to a set of plates arrange one after the others.
Impurity particles being positively charged stick to these plates, which can be jerked
off. For this a network of plates has to be setup all across the plant. This is very
costly process in comparison with the transformer cost. A relive vent is also provided
to prevent the transformer from bursting it higher pressure develops, inside it. It is
the weakest point in the transformer body. An oil temperature indicator and the
secondary supply spark detector are also provided.
One side of the transformer output is taken and other side has an ‘marshalling box’
which is the control box of the transformer.

Diesel Engine:-
This is the main power source for the locomotive. It comprises a large cylinder
block, with the cylinders arranged in a straight line or in a V .The engine
rotates the drive shaft at up to 1,000 rpm and this drives the various items
needed to power the locomotive. As the transmission is electric, the engine is
used as the power source for the electricity generator or alternator, as it is
called nowadays. A diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition
engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to
initiate ignition to burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion
chamber.
Main Alternator :-
The diesel engine drives the main alternator which provides the power to move the
train. The alternator generates AC electricity which is used to provide power for the
traction motors mounted on the trucks (bogies). In older locomotives, the alternator
was a DC machine, called a generator. It produced direct current which was used to
provide power for DC traction motors. Many of these machines are still in regular
use. The next development was the replacement of the generator by the alternator
but still using DC traction motors. The AC output is rectified to give the DC required
for the motors.

30
Auxiliary Alternator :-
Locomotives used to operate passenger trains are equipped with an auxiliary
alternator. This provides AC power for lighting, heating, air conditioning, dining
facilities etc. on the train. The output is transmitted along the train through an
auxiliary power line.

31
Rectifier :-
The output from the main alternator is AC but it can be used in a locomotive with
either DC or AC traction motors. DC motors were the traditional type used for many
years but, in the last 10 years, AC motors have become standard for new
locomotives. They are cheaper to build and cost less to maintain and, with electronic
management can be very finely controlled.
To convert the AC output from the main
alternator to DC, rectifiers are required. If the motors are DC, the output from the
rectifiers is used directly. If the motors are AC, the DC output from the rectifiers is
converted to 3-phase AC for the traction motors.
Motor Blower :-
The diesel engine also drives a motor blower. As its name suggests, the motor
blower provides air which is blown over the traction motors to keep them cool during
periods of heavy work. The blower is mounted inside the locomotive body but the
motors are on the trucks, so the blower output is connected to each of the motors
through flexible ducting. The blower output also cools the alternators. Some designs
have separate blowers for the group of motors on each truck and others for the
alternators.

32
Air Reservoirs :-
Air reservoirs containing compressed air at high pressure are required for the train
braking and some other systems on the locomotive. These are often mounted next to
the fuel tank under the floor of the locomotive.
Turbo charging :-
The amount of power obtained from a cylinder in a diesel engine depends on how
much fuel can be burnt in it. The amount of fuel which can be burnt depends on the
amount of air available in the cylinder. So, if you can get more air into the cylinder,
more fuel will be burnt and you will get more power out of your ignition. Turbo
charging is used to increase the amount of air pushed into each cylinder. The
turbocharger is driven by exhaust gas from the engine. This gas drives a fan which,
in turn, drives a small compressor which pushes the additional air into the cylinder.
Turbocharging gives a 50% increase in engine power.
The main advantage of the turbocharger is
that it gives more power with no increase in fuel costs because it uses exhaust gas
as drive power. It does need additional maintenance, however, so there are some
type of lower power locomotives which are built without it.

33
Battery :-
Just like an automobile, the diesel engine needs a battery to start it and to provide
electrical power for lights and controls when the engine is switched off and the
alternator is not running.
Air Compressor :-
The air compressor is required to provide a constant supply of compressed air for
the locomotive and train brakes.

34
Radiator & Radiator fan :-
The radiator works the same way as in an automobile. Water is distributed around
the engine block to keep the temperature within the most efficient range for the
engine. The water is cooled by passing it through a radiator blown by a fan driven by
the diesel engine.
(Radiator fan) (Radiator)
Hydraulic Transmission :-
Hydraulic transmission works on the same principal as the fluid coupling but it allows
a wider range of "slip" between the engine and wheels. It is known as a "torque
converter". When the train speed has increased sufficiently to match the engine
speed, the fluid is drained out of the torque converter so that the engine is virtually
coupled directly to the locomotive wheels. It is virtually direct because the coupling is
usually a fluid coupling, to give some "slip". Higher speed locomotives use two or
three torque converters in a sequence similar to gear changing in a mechanical
transmission and some have used a combination of torque converters and gears.
(Hydrolic tank)

35
Traction Motor :-
Since the diesel-electric locomotive uses electric transmission, traction motors are
provided on the axles to give the final drive. These motors were traditionally DC but
the development of modern power and control electronics has led to the introduction
of 3-phase AC motors.
Pinion/Gear :-
The traction motor drives the axle through a reduction gear of a range between 3 to
1 (freight) and 4 to 1 (passenger).

36
Fuel Tank :-
A diesel locomotive has to carry its own fuel around with it. The fuel tank is
normally under the loco frame and This huge tank in the underbelly of the
locomotive holds 2,200 gallons (8,328 L) of diesel fuel.
Drive Shaft :-
The main output from the diesel engine is transmitted by the drive shaft to
the alternators at one end and the radiator fans and compressor at the other
end.
Gear Box :-
The radiator and its cooling fan is often located in the roof of the locomotive.
Drive to the fan is therefore through a gearbox to change the direction of the
drive upwards.
Sand Box :-
Locomotives always carry sand to assist adhesion in bad rail conditions. Sand is not
often provided on multiple unit trains because the adhesion requirements are lower
and there are normally more driven axles.
