The secondary windings <strong>of</strong> the step-down transformer TFP (a3 - a4, a5 - a6) are<br />

protected against excess voltage by means <strong>of</strong> surge arrestors ETTFP 1-2, condensers CAPTFP<br />

and RC networks for each <strong>of</strong> the two secondaries.<br />

5.1.3 Silicon Rectifiers<br />

Conversation <strong>of</strong> alternating current supplied by the secondary (a3 - a4, a5 - a6) windings<br />

<strong>of</strong> the main transformer into direct current takes place by means <strong>of</strong> two silicon rectifiers.<br />

The undulation <strong>of</strong> the current thus rectified is reduced to a value acceptable for the<br />

traction motors by means <strong>of</strong> two smoothing reactors (SL) to two separate groups <strong>of</strong> three traction<br />

motors. In case <strong>of</strong> any one silicon rectifier is defective can be cut<strong>of</strong>f.<br />

5.1.4 <strong>Traction</strong> motor equipment<br />

The traction motor double reverser Jl-2, is pneumatically controlled and connects<br />

the field windings <strong>of</strong> the motors in such a way that these carry current in one direction or<br />

in the other thus enabling the locomotive to run in either directions.
