BENEFITS OF GM
TECHNOLOGY
High Adhesion Mechanism
4000 hp WDG4 hauls more than 6000 hp locos
Normally, due to slip between rail and wheels full
power of a loco is not converted into traction
WDG4 technology keeps friction very close to
limiting (peak) friction and prevents uncontrolled
slip. It keeps comparing the wheel speed with
land speed with the help of a radar
This permits full exploitation of adhesion to be
applied in traction
Normal locos
operate in this
region and
never reach
the peak
friction in a
controlled way
By achieving a controlled
slip WDG4 maximizes
traction.
BENEFITS OF GM
TECHNOLOGY
IMPROVED SAFETY
Blending of dynamic and air brakes, not
available on any other electric or diesel
locomotive in India
Higher safety due to better dynamic brakes;
nearly 50 % higher braking power as
compared to conventional locomotives
effective right down to standstill
Inbuilt vigilance control device ensures that
driver is alert
BENEFITS OF GM
TECHNOLOGY
BLENDED BRAKES
Optimises mix of dynamic and air brakes
to minimise wear on wheel and brake blocks

BENEFITS OF GM
TECHNOLOGY
EASE OF MAINTENANCE
Modular design of sub-systems
State of the art on board diagnostics for monitoring
of loco health and performance
AC motors for traction as well as auxiliaries
BENEFITS OF GM
TECHNOLOGY
OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY
Compatibility with heavy haul loads hauled by
highest power electric loco.
Fewer Shed visits: once in 92 days
Loco can travel long distances from shed
Operational Flexibility-II
One loco can do the job of two conventional
Locotrol compatibile
Fit for high speed 100kmph freight trains
Remote diagnostics allows constant monitoring
