Lectures

Goal

The course aims to introduce students to specific problems in the power transmission in locomotives (motor-train) and allow them to acquire the necessary skills to work in this field.

Outcome

After successfully finishing the course students would be able to: - define the basic characteristics of the power transmission; - describe the tasks and way of functioning of the power transmission assemblies; - compare characteristics for different types of power transmission; - calculate the key parameters using a special software package; - implementation of appropriate regulations and standards.

Theoretical teaching

Working characteristics of hydrodynamic transmission. Coupling of the internal combustion engine and hydrodynamic inverter. Hydrodynamic coupling. Calculation of hydrodynamic inverter, one-dimensional method - analysis of losses, determine the flow field. Inverter in braking mode. Testing and maintenance of transmissions. Regulated asynchronous drive. Frequency and voltage regulation. Automatic process control. Control of the drive in real time.

Practical teaching

Nothing.

Attendance requirement

Finished course fundamentals of electrical engineering and construction in previous studies.

Resources

Literature that is available in the Faculty Bookstore and Library; Handouts available on lectures; Internet resources (KOBSON).
