This technical report summarizes a visit to an electric locomotive workshop. It describes the key internal parts of an electric locomotive such as the transformer, rectifier, armature converter and traction motors. It provides photos and explanations of the control desk, instrumentation, electrical equipment and auxiliary systems used for cooling. Advantages of electric locomotives are highlighted like reduced emissions, maintenance and noise compared to diesel. The report concludes the workshop helped learn about electric locomotives used extensively in Indian railways.

3. INTRODUCTION
Locomotives in india consist of electric and diesel
locomotives. Locomotives are also
called locos or engines.
An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered
by electricity from overhead lines, an on-board
energy storage device such as a
chemical battery or fuel cell.
Electricity is used to eliminate smoke and take
advantage of the high efficiency of electric
motors.

4. HISTORY
1st Electric locomotive was built by:- a Scotsman, Robert
Davidson of Aberdeen in 1837 & powered by BATTERIES.
1st Electric passenger train was presented by:- Werner von
Siemens at Berlin in 1879. Driven by a 2.2 kW motor &
reached a maximum speed of 13 km/h.

Railways first introduced to India in 1853 &
journeyed of 22 miles Between Bombay to
Thane.

6. OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
Now a days all locos are running
through Electricity with the help of
OHE line.
Pentagraph is used to connect the
loco with OHE line.
Loco contains 2 Bogies, each Bogie
consist of 6 wheels. So totally loco
consists of 12 wheels.
Pantagraph draws 25 KV of
electricity from OHE line, which is
very high AC voltage.

during their normal operation.
Hence the different auxiliaries provided for
cooling and other purposes. These locos is
described below:-

28. ADVANTAGES OF THREE PHASE
TECHNOLOGY
It Require little maintenance.
3-標 drive allows regeneration and unity power
factor operation.
It improves operational efficiency besides
reduction in maintenance efforts. The energy
saving due to regeneration and improved
power factor sizable.

29. ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC
LOCOMOTIVE
Electric engines do not produce much heat
and noise.
Electric engines are therefore easier to
maintain whereas the moving parts of a diesel
engine require constant maintenance.
The simple nature of the electric engine
makes them efficient and powerful.

30. ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC
LOCOMOTIVE
Electric engines are light weight, constituting
only motors and wheel axles, and have almost
no moving parts.
Do Not Produce Smock.

31. CONCLUSION
Main Objective was to learn electric
locomotive In Railways.
I am thankful to the supporting people of the
POH Bhusawal.
Electricity is used to eliminate smoke and take
advantage of the high efficiency of electric
motors.
