Y metre gauge(the "Y" stands for Yard Gauge - 3ft
or 1000mm)
Z narrow gauge(2ft6in)
N narrow gauge(toy gauge) (2ft)
The second letter (motive power)
D diesel
C DCelectric (can run under DCoverhead lineonly)
A ACelectric (can run under AC overhead line only)
CA both DC and AC (can run under both AC and DC
overhead line); 'CA' is considered a single letter
B Battery electric locomotive (rare)
P passenger
M mixed; both goods and passenger
S shunting(also known as switching engines or switchers in
the USA and some other countries)
U electric multiple unit(used to carry commuters in city
suburbs)
R Railcars
For example, in "WDM 3A":
"W" meansbroad gauge
"D" meansdieselmotive power
"M" means suitable for both goods and passenger service
"3A" means the locomotive's power is 3,100hp('3' stands for
3000hp, 'A' denotes 100hp more)
Or, in "WAP 5":
"W" means broad gauge
"A" mean AC electric traction motive power
"P" means suitable for Passenger service
"5" denotes that this locomotive ischronologicallythe fifth
electric locomotive model used by the railways for passenger
service.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
PARTS
Diagram shows an AC electric locomotive, i.e a locomotive
collecting AC power from an overhead line.
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
PARTS
Red Lines- 1-phase A.C. circuit

Green Lines- D.C. circuit
Purple Lines- 3-phase A.C. circuit
The current passes directly from the
pantograph (or shoe) to the main and
auxiliary inverters.
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
PARTS
Axle Brush-The means by which the power
supply circuit is completed.
Battery-To provide start up current and for
supplying essential circuits
Circuit Breaker-To isolate the power supply
when there is a fault, or for maintenance
Converter-For converting alternating current to
direct current or vice versa
Cooling Fans-To keep the thyristors and other
electronic power systems cool
AIR BRAKE-Uses compressed air to apply the
brake block (or pad) to the wheel and to control
the operation of the brake along the train
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
PARTS
VACCUM BRAKE-The automatic braking system.
Thebrake pipe- is normally evacuated by a motor
drivenexhausterto create a vacuum and release
the train brakes.
Rectifier-Converter consisting of thyristors and
diodes which is used to convert AC to DC
Tap Changer-Camshaft operated set of switches
used on AC electric locomotives to control the
voltage taken off the main transformer for traction
motor power
AMO CONVERTER-For conversion of single phase
in-coming supply into 3 phase out- put supply
Traction Motor-To provide the final drive to a
locomotive or train axle
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
PARTS
TRANSFORMER-To step down the voltage as
well as to control the same for feeding to the
traction motors
RECIPROCATING
AIR
COMPRESSOR-three
cylinders, two stages, and air-cooled compressor
driven by an induction motor
Pantograph-The current collection system used
by locomotives and trains on routes electrified
with overhead lines
ADVANTAGE OF ELECRICAL LOCO

High power-to weight ratio.
Fewer Locomotive
Fast Acceleration
Higher limit of speed
Higher hauling capability
No carbon emission
Less noise pollution
Maintenance cost is 50% of that for steam
engine.
Steam engine requires two hours for heat up
whereas electric engine start within moment.
High torque motor are used in electric traction.
DISADVANTAGES
Significant capital cost of electrification.
Maintenance cost is high.
Overhead wires further limit the clearance in
tunnel.
Railway traction need immune power, with no
cuts.
