    The document provides test requirements and procedures for electrical equipment on locomotives. It outlines 5 key tests: [1] Insulation resistance and high-potential tests to check insulation between circuits and the locomotive frame; [2] A high-potential test of the power circuit at 2000V for new locomotives and 1500V for those in service; [3] A high-potential test of control and auxiliary circuits at 680V; [4] Checking auxiliary and alarm circuit sequences and relay sequences; [5] Testing the diesel engine speed control sequence during motoring. Proper schematics should be obtained before testing and safety precautions taken.

    LOCO TEST SHOP

    Commissioning test Requirements and procedure for Electrical


    Equipment
    Introduction
    Scope: These instruction cover test requirement and procedure for obtaining
    desire parameters for electrical equipment in the locomotive. Before proceeding
    with test secure the proper schematic diagram for specific locomotive for
    guidance during test.

    Insulation Resistance and High – Potential Test


    Caution: Before making a high potential test, the insulation resistance should be
    cheeked with a 500 v megger. Do not conduct high potential test on a circuit with
    a megger reading of less than 1 mega ohm as the circuit may be demand.

    1. Insulation Resistance (New Locomotive)


     Have multi conductor plugs attached to the governor and tachometer
    generator.
     Open the battery switch, BS
     Open ground cut – switch GRCO1 & GRCO2
     Disconnect the battery lead in the battery in the battery component the
    close the battery switch – BS
     Close all switches and circuit breakers in the component and on the
    control stand,
     Move reveres handle to forward or reveres position. Breaking switch
    must be in “RUN” position. Breaking switch must be in “Motoring”.
    Move main handle to 6th Notch position.
     Remove EXCP, TRP PANEL CARDS. Tie all high – voltage terminal point
    together on the excitation panel. These points are 34B, 34, 34T, 34S,
    34A, 34C, 34E, 34G, 34F, 34R,23 and 40V.
     In power circuit of rectifier unit, short AC terminals (R, Y & B) and DC
    terminals (GA1 &GA2). Put jumpers between AC and DC terminal (R &
    GA 11).
     Measure insulation power resistance between power circuit and
    locomotive frame. Measure insulation power resistance between blower
    motor terminal R-28 and locomotive frame.
     Measure insulation power resistance between power circuit and
    locomotive frame.
     Measure insulation power resistance between power and control circuit
    to be sure that they are not tied together.

    2. High – Potential test – Power circuit


     Ground control circuit to locomotive frame. Short out load ammeter
    with hi-pot wire.
     Attach one terminal of high- potential transformer to locomotive frame
    and other side to any convenient point in the traction motor such as
    main contact of a “P” or “S” contactor.
     Apply high potential:
    a) New locomotive: apply 2000V for 1 min
    b) Locomotive in service: apply 1500v for 1 min
     Repeat insulation test.

    3. High Potential test – Test control and auxiliary circuit


     Check wiring and terminal board. Current loss connection and faulty
    insulation.
     Close all switches and breakers.
     Remove temporary ground.
     Short out the battery charging ammeters with high potential wire. Also
    short out lead panel terminal with high potential.
     Attach ungrounded side of high – potential transformer to main
    moveable contact of CK contactor.
     Apply high potential of 680V for 1 min.
     Reconnect battery lead. Make sure that leads or connected correctly
    with respect to battery polarity.

    4. Auxiliary and Alarm circuit sequence and realy sequence check.


     Have all switches “off”, battery switch open controller handles in “off” &
    “idle” and “and “ESC” Switch in “idle”.
     Ring out train lines from coupler sockets to terminal boards.
     Charge locomotive air system with at list 70 PSI shop air. If locomotive
    has safety control use foot pedal to hold safety control “off” and make a
    full indecent application to keep safety control suppressed.
     Close battery switch BS.
     Close master battery breaker MB1 and main control breaker and MB2.

    5. Diesel Engine Speed Control Sequence


    Preliminary (Motoring)
     Close master battery breaker MB1 & main control breaker MB2. Close
    master circuit breaker (MCB) – 1 & 2 close master fuels – pump breaker
    FPB-1&2.
     Have main handle in “idle” and reverse handle in “off” the safety control
    relay DMR should be energized.
     Have M. U. stop button in “RUN” position.
