2.Plugging or Reverse Current Braking:
• Ish=V/Rsh =2A
• Ia=I-Ish = 82-2=80A
• Eb = V – IaRa = 212v
• Voltage across armature while braking = V+Eb =
220+212=432v
• Total resistance required to limit current 120A is = 432/120
=3.6Ω
Output 20 746
• Full load torque = 9. 55 = 9.55 = 142.5N-m
N 1000
• initial braking torque = 142.5 (120/80) = 213.8N-m
Regenerative Braking:
Where
F2 = Tractive effort at driving wheel, F1 = Tractive effort at pinion,
T = Torque developed by motor, D = Diameter of driving wheel,
d = Diameter of the gear wheel, d1 = Diameter of pinion,
η = Transmission efficiency,
γ = Gear ratio = d/d1.
SPEED–TIME CURVES FOR DIFFERENT SERVICES
TYPES OF SERVICES
3. Suburban service.
SPEED–TIME CURVE FOR MAIN LINE SERVICE
Coasting Period :
• As the distance between two stations is small as compared to
mainline service, the free-running period is absent in sub-urban
service. As soon as the train attains maximum speed, the power
supply is turned off. From there, the train will be in motion because
of its momentum.
Braking Period :
• In the braking period, the train is brought to a standstill position by
applying brakes. In this period, high retardation of about 3 to 4
km/hr/sec has to be maintained by the train.
