    摘要: An electronic load regulation system for a locomotive may comprise a solid state replacement for existing electro-mechanical load regulators that are used to adjust the excitation current in the field windings of the locomotive's generator. A pressure sensor may include a first chamber and a second chamber, each chamber having a pressure switch. The pressure sensor may be installed in place of a prior art vane motor and may connect to the existing governor hydraulic output. The pressure switches send status data to an electronic load regulator circuit that may replace a prior art rheostat. The electronic load regulator may increase or decrease the excitation current depending upon the status data received from the pressure sensor.

    摘要: A system is provided for powering a locomotive. The system comprises a plurality of traction motor assemblies, each assembly comprising an armature and a field; a first power source connected in series to each armature; and in specific circumstances, a second power source connected across the fields. A method of controlling traction power in a locomotive is also provided, the method comprising: identifying which of a plurality of traction motor armatures in the locomotive has a highest current reading; and ramping a traction motor field current to equal the highest current reading for the traction motor armatures.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for controlling a locomotive such that the braking effort is maintained at its optimal maximum level throughout the extended range. The method comprises detecting a first reduction in speed of the locomotive; energizing at least one solid state device connected across one or more grid resistors for a first predetermined amount of time to divert current away from the one or more grid resistors for the first predetermined amount of time; and de-energizing the solid state device after the first predetermined amount of time. The solid state device may be an Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and a plurality of solid state devices are energized, each solid state device being connected across a corresponding resistor grid.

    摘要: It has been recognized that to improve the usability of diagnostic systems and software, such a system can be designed to step the user through a systematic diagnosis of a problem. The process of systematically stepping through the diagnosis can be designed to teach the user how the system operates. In the result, as users gain more knowledge about how the control system operates they can become more efficient at solving problems independently of the diagnostics software. A methodology is utilized which incorporates a hierarchy of conditions in order to drill down into a problem by making one or more simple queries that can be understood without special skills or training.
