Auxiliary Generator is a very vital part for EMD
Locomotives manufactured by Indian Railways. It
consist of one three phase pilot exciter assembly
and is driven by main engine shaft through gear
train. Its main function is to develop 74 VDC at
all speed of engines required for battery charging
which is used further for cranking the locomotives.
This machine is a brushless AC Generator. The
generated voltage of the generator is rectified
by 3- phase 6 wave diode system to produce DC
voltage and is connected to the battery terminals.
The nominal output is 18kW at 55VAC. The pilot
fields are installed on common shaft and are the
critical features of this machine. |
