Operation Of Throttle
TE/BE Throttle
The TE/BE throttle controls traction and the electric braking effort of the locomotive with angle transmitter and auxiliary contacts.
The TE/BE throttle has the following three end positions:
For Traction
Position 1/3 33% tractive effort
Position 2/3 67% tractive effort
Position TE max 100% tractive effort
Position “0” no tractive / no braking effort
For Regenerative Braking effort
Position 1/3 33% braking effort
Position 2/3 67% braking effort
Position TE max 100% braking effort
NOTE:
If TE doesn’t increase beyond 300 KN in WAG-9/WAP-7 & 150KN in P/ZRTI-BSL 42 WAP-5 then Driver should check ZTEL switch on ‘A’ Panel whether it is ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’,
ZTEL should be kept ‘OFF’. The % tractive/braking effort is indicated on the two-tractive/braking meters on panel A.
