Electric locomotive application

Electrical Engineering, 1941
ELECTRIC locomotives were first used for the movement of main-line traffic over 45 years ago. This early application was for tunnel work but it may be taken as the beginning of a new era in main-line transportation. In this era the steam locomotive has been transformed in appearance and characteristics.

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Electric Locomotives

ACS Macro Letters, 2020
In this letter, we present an electro-driven cylindrical actuator system composed of a bilayered liquid crystal elastomer/carbon black (LCE/CB) electro-driven soft actuator and a conductive track. The bilayered LCE/CB electro-driven actuator consists of an inner LCE circular band and several U-shaped CB conductive regions stuck on the outer surface of ...

Electrical Equipment for Rectifier Locomotives

Journal of the Institution of Locomotive Engineers, 1957
The single-phase 50c/s system of railway electrification has developed extremely rapidly and has been adopted in recent years by France, Turkey, Portugal, the Belgian Congo and Great Britain. Of the many types of locomotive possible, the rectifier type is becoming more and more widely favoured, owing to its combining the best possible traction motor ...

Maintenance of Diesel-electric locomotives

Proceedings of the IEE - Part IA: Electric Railway Traction, 1950
The question of maintenance is approached from the point of view trying to determine what are the basic principles which should govern the methods and standards of maintenance. It is evident that if sufficient care has been given to the design, then only those parts of the equipment which are subjected to fairly heavy stresses should require ...

Mechanical design of electric and diesel-electric locomotives

Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1950
The paper deals with that part of the locomotive which may termed the chassis and body work; it does not concern itself with mechanical design of electrical apparatus. After surveying the physical limitations within which locomotives must be designed, the paper outlines the three main groups into which chassis design naturally falls, namely the ...

Modern electrical equipment for industrial diesel-electric locomotives

Electrical Engineering, 1942
Modern electrical equipment for industrial Diesel-electric locomotives is widely different in many respects from that used five or six years ago. New and improved high-temperature insulating materials and modern synthetic varnishes have been developed and are used extensively today.

Performance of electric locomotives

Electrical Engineering, 1950
UNTIL the general adoption of the diesel-electric locomotive within the past 15 years almost all railroad men considered that an electric locomotive was one whose power is generated in a stationary power plant and transmitted to the locomotive by means of a trolley wire or third rail.
