Summer Training Presentation

On
3-Phase Induction Motor(Aux.) used in
Conventional Electric Locomotive ,its POH and
Testing

Presented By: Submitted To:


Samarth Rajpoot (2004310200016) Mr. Sushil Kr. Paswan
Introduction:

 3-Phase Induction Motors are the most


widely used type of electric motor in the
world. They are also used in conventional
electric locomotives.

 Three-phase induction motors are rugged,


reliable, and relatively inexpensive. They
are also relatively easy to maintain.

 The working principle of 3-phase induction


motor is electromagnetic induction. Squirrel Cage 3-Phase Induction Motor
Auxiliary System of Electric Locomotive

 In the auxiliary system of electric locomotive the 3-phase


induction motor is used for providing cooling in main drives,
traction motors, power transformer, silicon rectifiers circuitry
and in entire locomotive.

 Three phase induction motor are also used in main air


compressors, oil circulating pumps and air blowers etc.

 There are some abbreviation used in loco for aux. machines-


a) MVMT
b) MVRH
c) MPH
d) MCP1, MCP2, MCP3
e) MVRF etc.

POH of 3-Phase Induction Motor
 POH stands for Periodic Over Hauling.

 It is a maintenance and testing procedures for the 3-phase induction


motors used as auxiliaries in conventional electric locomotives (such
as traction motor blowers, cooling fans, compressors, etc.) can vary
depending on the locomotive manufacturer and model.

 During the POH of the 3-phase induction motors used as auxiliaries


in electric locomotives, the following steps are typically performed:

a) Inspection.
b) Cleaning.
c) Lubrication.
d) Replacement of worn-out parts or damaged parts.
e) Electrical Connection.

OVER HAULED LOCOMOTIVE


 Inspection:
This includes checking the motor casing, rotor, stator,
bearings, and other components for any abnormalities.

 Cleaning:
The motor is cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and debris
that may have accumulated during operation.

 Lubrication:
The motor's bearings and other moving parts are
lubricated as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

 Replacement of worn-out parts:


Any worn-out or damaged parts such as bearings,
brushes, seals, or capacitors are replaced with new ones.

 Electrical Connection:
The motor's electrical connections, including
terminals and wiring, are inspected and tightened if necessary.
Testing of 3 Phase Induction Motor during its POH

Various tests are performed on 3-phase induction motor during its


periodic over hauling (POH) as a part of regular maintenance to
ensure its proper functioning.

The following tests are as follows-


Insulation Resistance Test.
Hi-Pot (High-Potential) Test.
No-Load Test.
Full Load Test.
Vibration Analysis Test.

 Insulation Resistance Test: The insulation resistance of a 3-


phase induction motor should be at least 1 megohm. If any of the
readings are less than 1 megohm, the motor insulation is
damaged and the motor should be repaired or replaced.
 Hi-Pot (High Potential) Test: It is often used to test the
insulation of 3-phase induction motor. An AC voltage for
Hi-Pot test ranging from 125%–150% of the rated RMS
line-to-line voltage.

 No-Load Test: This test gives information regarding no-


load losses such as core loss, friction loss, and windage
loss. In this test there is no mechanical load is applied on
the shaft of motor.

 Full Load Test or Blocked Rotor Test: In this test a


variable voltage is applied to the motor where the rotor is
mechanically blocked and the voltage keep increasing
until the motor starts drawing full load current.

 Vibration Analysis Test: A vibration analysis test is


performed on a 3-phase induction motor to measure the
amount of vibration produced by the motor.
