Study on Bogie and Suspension System of an Electric Locomotive (Wap-4)
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
This project involves a detailed study on the “BOGIE AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF AN ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE (WAP-4)” in Indian Railways. It involves a list of information on the various parts of a conventional type bogie and also the various advantages of different types of suspension and damping systems installed. Detailed explanation of various electrical and controls of the locomotive were described in the report. Various physical testing methods of springs were focused under suspension chapter. This report isn’t just focused on the conventional type loco, but also gives detailed differences observed between the 3-phase bogies from the conventional type loco. In electrified railways, the traction power systems carry power to trains and their reliability is vital to the quality of train services. There are many components in the traction power system, from interface with utility distribution network to contacts with trains, and they are physically located along the rail line. Subject to usage, environment, and ageing conditions of components deteriorate with time. Regular maintenance has to be carried out to restore their conditions and prevent them from failure. However, the decisions on the suitable length of maintenance intervals often lead railway operators to the dilemma of minimizing both risk of failure and operation cost. In the last 20 years, there has been a gigantic acceleration in railway traction development. This has run in parallel with the development of power electronics and microprocessors. What have been the accepted norms for the industry for, sometimes, 80 years, have suddenly been thrown out and replaced by fundamental changes in design, manufacture and operation. Many of these developments are technical and complex. Through this report, we bring to you all the salient features and all important aspects of bogies and suspension system of conventional type Electric Locomotive (WAP-4).
