Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the possibility of determining locomotive rectifier unit malfunction with the help of thermal fields and diode temperature measurement. Methods: There were applied the analysis of rectifier unit faults and their components for a certain period, modeling and thermal calculation in Solid Works Software Package. Results: The picture of thermal field and temperature changes at the diagnosis of regularly running diesel rectifier unit as well as at diode faults such as a breakdown and break. Practical significance: The possibility of monitoring the technical condition of a diesel locomotive rectifier unit when determining diode thermal fields as well as of determining possible malfunctions by diode temperature change is shown.
