Abstract

396,764. Electric rail vehicles or trains. ARMSTRONG, WHITWORTH, & CO. (ENGINEERS), Ltd., SIR W. G., Thames House, Millbank, London, and BECKETT, C. M., 55, Wordsworth Drive, Cheam, Surrey. Feb. 2, 1932, No. 3104. [Class 79 (iii).] In a system of electric and engine-electric traction using trains formed of a plurality of coaches with traction motors and one or more engine-electric coaches or mobile power-houses, the train is adapted to run over electrified and unelectrified track by arranging the traction motors to be connected, by one or more twoway switches in each coach having motors, either to the external supply on electrified track, when the power coach or coaches is or are preferably uncoupled from the train, or to an additional train bus-line or lines adapted to be connected with the engine-electric power plant when the train is to be run by this power. The two-way switches may be used to regroup the motors where the voltages of the engine-electric plant and the external supply are different. Fig. 1 shows a train comprising a Diesel-electric power coach A and coaches B provided with motors 3 and with shoes 6 for contact with the third rail or overhead wire on electrified portions of the line. Each coach has a two-way switch 9, by which the motors can be connected either to the collecting shoe 6 or to a bus-line 7 supplied from the engine-electric plant in the power coach A. Where high voltage D.C. is supplied on the electrified track, two engine-electric sets may be used in series to give the same voltage ; in this case the connection between the generators may be earthed, and a differential relay may be connected between each extreme connection and earth to cut off the excitation of the generators or disconnect them from the bus-lines when a difference of voltage occurs between the lines. Alternatively, or in addition, a differential current relay may be used. According to the Provisional Specification, the engine-electric set may be controlled. to vary its voltage, by apparatus actuated by the same control wires as the external supply control apparatus, and therefore by the same apparatus in the driver's cabs. Specification 359,161 is referred to.
