3 150 kW AC drive diesel locomotive designed for export to Australia
3 150 kW AC drive diesel locomotives have been developed in alignment with the requirements for export to Australia.This paper first gave an overview of the general layout,main performance parameters,configuration,and traction performance curve,and highlights the characteristics of this locomotive model including its adhesive traction performance,lightweight and high-strength car-body,electromagnetic compatibility performance,noise control,and diesel auxiliary system.It also focused on the testing and verifica-tion processes conducted,including carbody static strength tests,torsion tests,noise tests in driver's cab,electromagnetic compatibility tests,demonstrating the compliance with internationally advanced standards in relevant performances of this locomotive model.This pa-per emphasized the advancements achieved with the 3 150 kW AC drive diesel locomotive model specifically tailored for export to Aus-tralia and the positive influence on the design of diesel locomotives.
