Side extensions are provided by 5 mm plates bent in the form of an angle with 6 mm top chequered plate.
The central box section of the frame, which carries main power equipment, is further strengthened by
providing two additional central ISMB 350 beams over the requisite length. The bogie suspension of
WDM3A is similar to that of WDM2.
The Bogie of the loco is similar to WDM2. Some of WDM3A locos are provided with high speed bogies.
On high speed bogies conical rubber thrust pads are provided in the end axle boxes.
The loco is powered with DLW make 251B uprated fuel efficient 16 cylinder Diesel engine capable of
producing 3100 HP at 1050 rpm under standard conditions with Napier NA 295 IR or ABB-VTC-304-
VG15 model turbo supercharger and a large aftercooler for better after cooling of the engine inlet air
commensurate with the increased air flow. Some of the WDM3A locos rebuilt at DLMW are provided
with GE 7S 1716 turbo super charger
The loco is equipped with AC-DC transmission consisting of a directly coupled self ventilated BHEL
make TA10102 CW model traction alternator with BHEL make panel mounted rectifier type ALR 5400A,
driving 6 axle hung nose suspended BHEL TM4906AZ model traction motors geared for maximum speed
of 120 km/h
The loco is equipped with IRAB-1 Brake system. Hand brake operated by a lever from driver's cab is
provided for use on stabled loco and for holding a light loco on grade in emergency. The loco is suitable
for multiple operation.
Other electrical and mechanical systems are similar to WDM2. Loco is provided with dynamic brake,
rating and characteristic is similar to the one provided in WDM2 loco.
DLMW/PTA also started converting WDM2 locos into WDM3A during rebuilding from 2000 onwards.
Existing cab and control stands on WDM2 are not disturbed. Alternator TA 10102CW and rectifier type
ALR 5400A are provided in place of traction generator. TM 4907 type motors with roller type bearing are
provided in place of TM4906. Also online centrifuge and pure air brake system is being provided.
14.6. WDP-1 CLASS, BO-BO, DIESEL ELECTRIC LOCO
The prototype WDP1 passenger Loco was turned out from DLW on 31-3-95.
Underframe of WDP1 loco is fabricated using rolled sections and plates with top plate for mounting major
equipment. The frame section consists of a central box section as the main load bearing member with side
extensions at the either end to the full width of the loco for carrying underframe equipment. The box
section comprises of two side longitudinal ISMB 400 I-beams with 10 mm top and 12 mm bottom plates.
The central box section of the frame which carries main power equipment is further strengthened by
providing two additional central ISMB 350 beams over the requisite length. Suitable cross members have
been provided to take bogie pivot, drawgear equipment etc. to give required rigidity to the frame.
The loco is equipped with two flexi-coil BO-BO bogies with nominal axle load of 20t. Since the loco has a
bolster less bogie, weight of under frame is transferred to bogie frame through the secondary springs
directly. The bogie frame is suspended on the primary springs. Tread Brake Units (TBUs) were provided
instead of conventional brake cylinders.
The loco is powered with DLW make 251B uprated 12 Cylinder fuel efficient engine with Napier NA 295
A-520 or ABB-VTC304VG09 model turbo supercharger and a large after cooler for better cooling of the
engine inlet air commensurate with the increased air flow. This engine develops 2300 HP at 1000 rpm
under standard climatic condition
The loco is equipped with AC-DC transmission consisting of a directly coupled self ventilated BHEL
make TA10106 AZ model traction alternator with BHEL make panel mounted rectifier type ALR 5400A,
driving 4 axle hung nose suspended BHEL TM4906AZ model traction motors geared for maximum speed
of 120 km/h
The loco is equipped with 28LAV-1 Brake system and panel mounted brakes applicable to dual air brake
system. Hand brake operated by a lever from driver's cab is provided for use on stabled loco and for
holding a light loco on grade in emergency
The loco is suitable for multiple operation. Other electrical and mechanical systems are similar to WDM2
loco except that dynamic braking has not been provided in WDP1 loco
