REMOTE CONTROLLED AUX. MOTORS
Main Compressors (MCP1, MCP2, MCP3)
There are 3 compressor motors provided in a loco to build up air pressure for the operation of
pneumatic & braking system. The electromagnetic contactor C101, C102 & C103 are for MCP1,
MCP2 and MCP3 respectively. The switches for these contactors are BLCP and BLCPD. The
switch HCP is located in switch panel and it is having 8 positions to program the compressor as
required.
HCP Main compressor isolating switch:
HCP is having 8 positions namely 0, 1, 2, 3, 12, 23, 13, 123.
Whenever vacuum brake train is operated HCP should be kept in 1 or 2 or 3. While
working in AIR brake HCP should be kept in 1&3 or 1&2 or 2&3 or 1&2&3 position. The
compressors are provided with individual oil sump. The oil level should be with in the minimum
and maximum marks. Whenever any MCP is defective, it can be isolated by HCP. In WAG 5A
locomotives compressor starts working when BLCP is switched ON. But the air pressure is
maintained between 8.5kg/cm and 10 kg/cm by RGCP & VEAD valve. MCP 1, 2 & 3 are
provided in motor chest No1. RGCP is provided in CAB1 center locker 1, VEAD is provided
behind CAB1.
Exhauster Motors MPV1&MPV2:
There are two exhauster motors provided in WAG 5A Electro Magnetic contactors C121 is for
MPV1 and C111 is for MPV2. These contactors are remote controlled by the switches BLPV &
HPV. When BLPV is closed and ZPV on 2 position, contactor C121 closes and MPV1 starts
working. When ZPV in 1 position contactor C111 closes and MPV2 starts working.

MPV1 & MPV2 are located behind CAB1. ZPV is located in switch panel. Two types of
exhausters are provided. They are of SLM TYPE & NORTHEY TYPE. SLM type exhauster
is having an oil sump at the bottom with a dipstick for checking oil level. The oil level
should be between minimum and maximum marks. A gear driven lubricating oil pump is
provided to transfer the oil from the sump to the bearings. 4 sight glasses are provided on the
exhausters. To check the oil drops for lubricating the gears and bearings. Minimum 9-12
drop/min should pass thorough the sight glasses. A manual operating handle is also provided
on lubricating pump to check the efficiency of the pump.
In NORTHEY type exhauster there are two oil sumps. One at the bottom and other the
top for lubricating the gears & bearings. The lower sump lubricates the gears by splashing oil and
the upper lubricates the gears by splashing oil and the upper sump lubricates the bearings by
section. Both sumps are provided with dipsticks for checking the oil levels. It should between
min & max marks.
MVRH: Radiator Blower Motor
It is provided to operate the blower VRH for cooling the transformer oil in the radiator and RPS.
It is provided in HT2 compartment. C107 contactor is provided to start and stop the motor.
