Abstract
Abstract: Electrical locomotive is driven by DC series motor of 12V. The torque produced by motors is used to move the locomotive. The main supply to the motor is given through pantographs. The total length of path is 6 feet approximately. The other main equipment are rectifiers, Step-down transformer. Rectifier is used for conversion of alternating current to direct current, Step-down transformers used for convert high voltage power to a low voltage The railway is one of the largest and oldest methods of the transportation in our country serving many people in many ways. The major problem in railways is derailing and obstruction to the locomotive in different ways. Traction is basically two types, electrical traction and nonelectric traction. Electric traction is most advantageous and economical with less maintenance when compared to other.
