Brief description of the loco<br />

Driver's Manual <strong>for</strong> WAG9<br />

The primary suspension, located between the axles and the bogie frame, is provided<br />

by twin coil springs on the axle journal box <strong>for</strong>e and aft of the axle line. Vertical<br />

hydraulic dampers are used to dampen the rebound rate of the springs. This “Flexi<br />

coil” arrangement permits lateral movement of the axle. Longitudinal control of the<br />

axle, and the transmission of tractive and braking ef<strong>for</strong>t to the bogie frame, is<br />

provided by guide rods connected between the axle journal boxes and bogie frame.<br />

Spheribloc rubber bushes in the guide rods allow the axle lateral movement without<br />

undue restriction.<br />

Secondary suspension is also provided by coil springs and vertical hydraulic<br />

dampers, located between the bogie frame and the locomotive under frame on each<br />

side of the bogie. The weight of the locomotive car body is carried by the secondary<br />

suspension springs. The “Flexi-Float” arrangement of the secondary suspension<br />

allows the locomotive car body to move both laterally and vertically within certain<br />

limits relative to the bogies.<br />

2.2 Electrical Features:<br />

- Vehicle propulsion concept:<br />

3-phase converter drive.<br />

- Main trans<strong>for</strong>mer<br />

The main trans<strong>for</strong>mer is housed in an aluminium tank. It is mounted underframe<br />

between the two bogies.<br />

- Traction Converter<br />

The machine room contains one traction converter per bogie with 2-point switching.<br />

This comprises a line converter (NSR) and a 3-phase drive converter (ASR).<br />

The traction motors are supplied with power directly by two relevant bogie selective<br />

drive converters with appropriate control electronics.<br />

- Axle drive<br />

<strong>Three</strong> externally ventilated three-phase asynchronous squirrel cage motors of Type<br />

6 FRA 6068 are installed on both bogies. The three traction motors on each bogie<br />

are supplied with power by one traction converter.<br />
