Targets for the month of January 2015
1. Commissioning of Hotel load converter supplied by M/s Siemens on Loco No. 30406.
2. Commissioning of Hotel load converter supplied by M/s BHEL on Loco No. 30426.
3. Commissioning of 3rd & 4th set of IGBT based Propulsion systems supplied by M/s Medha on Loco No. 31557 and 31559.
4. Finalisation of new software version for WAG9/WAP7 locomotives incorporating driver display, VCU redundancy and other reliability improvement features.
5. STRs of Auxiliary Converter, VCU & Transformer for 3-Ph locomotives to be finalized after receipt of comments from RDSO.
6. Finalisation of specification for IGBT based Traction, Auxiliary converter and VCU.
For more details of the progress of this project please visit: click here
A total number of 191(One Hunderd Ninety One)IGBT Loco turned out from CLW during the period (01.04.2012 to 31.12.2014). For all the details of these 191 3 Phase AC Electric Locomotives( Like: Serial Number, Type of the Loco, CLW No of Each Loco, Loco No of each loco,Rail Zone where allotted, Sheds where allotted, Despatch date of each loco from CLW etc) please visit the following link:

IGBT Loco Issues:
As IGBT Traction Converters used in 3 Phasers are built by three firms namely ABB, BHEL and BTIL and assembled by CLW in the 3 Phase Locomotives so the issues have been addressed to the specific firm whose "IGBT Traction Converter" is being installed in the Loco.Please see the three attached "Excel Spreadsheets" to know about the Issues regarding IGBT Locomotives(3 Phaser specially WAP7,WAG 9, WAG 9H & WAG 9i). You can see the "Comment of RDSO" against "Each Issue" addressed to "ABB"in the last column of first Excel Spreadsheet and in other two excel spreadsheets you can see the "status of the issue" and "Firm's Comment about the issue" in the last column of the Excel Spreadsheet .
Attached Excel Worksheets:
3 IGBT LOCO ISSUES WITH ABB.xls(Extracted from the Official Website of CLW)
4 IGBT LOCO ISSUES WITH BHEL.xls(Extracted from the Official Website of CLW)
5 IGBT LOCO ISSUES WITH BTIL.xls(Extracted from the Official Website of CLW)
*** Please download the "Excel Spreadsheets" for seeing the issues of IGBT Locos.
This is "A Compact Information" about 3 Phase Locos(Specially: WAP 7, WAG 9, WAG 9H & WAG 9I) presented here from the Official Website of CLW.
Thanks

in the month of January’16
1. Expression of interest (EOI) for development of Alternate Gear Drive System for WAP-5 locomotives uploaded on CLW website.
2. 3rd set of Alternate Drive Gear Arrangement for 160 Kmph supplied, by M/s Henschel/Germany, commissioned on Loco no. 30090. Loco sent to ELS/BRCY.
3. Prototype inspection of DPWCS for AC tap changer locos, developed by M/s Medha, carried out by CLW/RDSO from 11.01.2016 to 19.01.2016.
4. 2nd loco No. 30446 fitted with dual hotel windings alongwith Hotel load converter of M/s Siemens dispatched to ELS/GZB in Jan’16.
5. IGBT propulsion system of M/s Medha commissioned on Loco Nos. 31646, 31653, 31718, 30448, 30450 & 31672 in Jan’16.
Targets for the month of February’16
1. Commissioning of Hotel load converters supplied by M/s Siemens on Loco No. 30453, 30454 & 30455 alongwith 7775kVA double winding transformers.
2. 4th set of Alternate Drive Gear Arrangement for 160 Kmph supplied by M/s Henschel/Germany to be commissioned on Loco no. 30100.
3. Capacity-cum-Capability assessment of M/s ARC/Bangalore and M/s Trolex/Bangalore for the development of TCN compliant vehicle control system to be carried out by CLW/RDSO.
4. STR of IGBT based Traction Converter for 3-Ph locomotives to be finalized after incorporating comments from RDSO.
5. Finalisation of revision of specifications of Traction and Aux. Converter as per RDSO suggestions.
6. Complete redundancy of one more WAP-7 locomotive 30451.
