FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION (FRS) FOR DESIGN,DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING OF 30 KW PERMANENT MAGNET (PM)

ALTERNATOR WITH CONTROLLER FOR 110V DC SG AC I LHB COACHES

In LHB type coaches, FIAT bogies are used with Disc brakes. In these bogies theexisting 25kW alternators can not be fitted due to space constraint. Permanent Magnet(PM) alternators are smaller in size and can be fitted in these bogies. As further detailsregarding manufacturing and standardisation of permanent magnet alternators are notavailable with Indian Railways, this FRS has been proposed for 30kW permanentmagnet alternator and controller.

0.1 As these functional requirements are defined for development of the PermanentMagnet Alternator with controller, better specifications / parameters may be acceptedfor trial/ testing by Indian Railways.Deviation in the specified parameters may also beconsidered by Indian Railways on merit and mutual agreement basis. However,manufacturer must note that once the product is developed and stabilised, IndianRailways reserves the right to freeze / standardize any particular design or mayprovide its own design which shall be binding on all the manufacturers.

1.1 This specification covers the design, development, manufacture, testing and supply of30 'r0N 'V'-belt driven bogie mounted permanent magnet brushless alternator requiredfor LHB broad gauge air-conditioned coaches.

1.2 The permanent magnet brushless alternator covered by this specification shall nothave any windings on rotor.

1.3 The scope of supply for each set shall include the following unless or otherwisestipulated in the tender: -

i) 30 kW permanent magnet alternator, complete with one/two'V' grooved alternator pulleys on one/both side

ii) Safety chainsiii) Belt tensioning device completeiv) AXle-pulleys complete with rubber pads and hardwarev) Suspension pin complete with hardwarevi) Maintenance manual including trouble shooting details

3 No.1/2 Nos.1/2 Nos.1 No.1 copy

For the purpose of this specification, the following definitions shall apply:-

2.1 Alternator - An axle driven power-generating machine mounted on the bogie of coach.

2.2 Axle pulley- A pulley fitted on the axle of the coach to drive the alternator by 'V'-belts.

2.3 Alternator pulley - A pulley fitted on alternator and driven by axle pulley through 'V'-belts.

EU7.1.38/2w.e.f December 2012

2.4 Cut-in speed - The alternator speed in rev./min. at which rectified out-put is 110V at noload.

2.5 Minimum speed for full output - The minimum alternator speed in rev./min at which itgives full rated output current of 230A at rated voltage of 130V. This will henceforthbe termed as MFa speed.

2.6 Voltage and current detector - A device to limit voltage and current of alternator to thepre-set values.

2.7 Control Unit - Electronic unit to rectify the AC output of the alternator with controlelectronics to keep voltage and current within specified range.

2.8 The fully air conditioned sleeper coaches, composite coaches and chair cars with roofmounted package units will normally be equipped with two roof mounted packageunits and two sets of 30 t0N permanent magnet alternators. Other types of air-conditioned coaches e. g. First class AC coaches may be equipped with only one setof 30 t0N permanent magnet alternators. The DC output of the alternator will normallysupply coach loads consisting of air-conditioning control unit fed from inverter,incandescent and fluorescent lights, air-circulating fans, pantry loads etc. and inaddition to charge a bank of 56 Nos. 650Ah VRLA battery at a nominal voltage of 110V DC.

2.9 The battery is connected to the alternator through control unit, which converts ACoutput of alternator into regulated DC and prevents the reverse flow of current from thebattery to alternator during periods of non-generation. The inverters and coach fansare connected across the main positive and negative. The light fittings are alsosimilarly connected across the main positive and negative. Some of the coaches arefitted with AC fans and lights, which are connected across the AC output of inverter.

2.10 Control unit shall also have provision for feeding 3 phase AC from external supply forbattery charging and precooling of the coach in yards/station. Incase of externalsupply, back feed to Alternator is to be prevented and similarly in case of running train,voltage availability at external supply input points should be prevented for safety.

3.1 The alternator shall function satisfactorily in the ambient temperature range from _5° Cto 55° C and 98% relative humidity and will be subjected to vibration, dust and rainwater in service when installed in the under frame of the coaches. The control unitshall be designed for mounting on the bogie transom and shall be suitable for workingin a heavily dust laden atmosphere which may also contain brake block (conducting)dust. The design and construction of Alternator with controller shall be suitable towithstand the above service condition. The vibration levels generally are 3g, 3g & 59.

3.2 The coaches are expected to run up to a maximum speed of 175 kmph in the varyingclimatic conditions exiting throughout India. All accessories to be mounted on thecoach under frame shall be designed to withstand service vibrations and buffingshocks.
