I think that the rear most panto in the combo should be used. Posted by Rahul Rao on 2012 Sep 10 04:21:58 +0000 |

Makes sense to use double collector panto to draw more current for two locos. Posted by Anamitra Ghatak on 2012 Sep 09 16:56:28 +0000 |

I guess this arrangement is being worked out to run MU WAP5 with one panto because with twin panto's the speed gets restricted to 100 kmph as speeds over this will cause oscillations on the OHE and this may damage the trailing panto, thats why they are picking up current from the leading panto or vice versa and using it to run both the locos to get a combined output of 5500+5500 HP. THis will help long LHB rakes to do 140+ speeds as WAP7 is only cleared for 130 kmph. Posted by Vishnu Nath on 2012 Sep 09 04:55:51 +0000 |

Nice picture. Can you point to any official document that confirms the RDSO plans to run coupled P5s by sharing EHT connection? And what will that achieve? Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Sep 08 10:04:39 +0000 |

In all probability, the loco has been sent for departmental duties in the CR ghat section south of Itarsi. That said, why would CR send an inferior loco to do duty on difficult terrain , especially when the nearest shed capable of handling this loco is 500km plus away?

This is the only DC loco class that got converted to pure AC operations. Post AC conversion, the performance should be on par with a WAG7. Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Jul 05 13:24:14 +0000 |
