1:08 Notice the 'field weakening' at higher speeds. At higher speeds the back emf becomes sufficiently high to impede flow of current into the rotor winding, thus reducing available power. So field current is reduced to keep current flowing into the rotor.
The motor becomes a generator when power is not applied.. To keep the current flowing is to power it up a small amount to cancel out the power it produces when the motor becomes a generator. You can also exploit this anomaly by sending the generated power to a resistor bank. Large resistor bank can absorb a lot of power requiring the generator motor to exert more force. Said force counteracts the inertial motion of the locomotive slowing it down. The dynamic braking principle is born.
@desiboi2559 i think you'd like a better understanding at this..cause this is very interesting... A motor generally requires electricity to work...but what most people don't realise is after the motor start spinning... it's basically like a generator (coil of conductor rotating in a field) this it also generates a back emf that opposes the applied voltage. This is good as it reduces the current draw(can be more explained in an equation just look it up). Thus we also don't have to worry about the motor frying too...at the starting there is no back emf thus high current is draw...this is why we use starters...they add additional resistance to the circuit and thus limiting the current. At high speeds the armature current becomes also too little ig..thus the current required to sustain the magnetic field is reduced (as in video) and is used for the motor

@@jasonjamrs7413 I'm not an expert by any means at all, however I have worked with some fairly large engines (not trains) so will make an educated guess.

So, best guess is general maintenance? Trying to stave off wear and tare and corrosion?
I never realized how much power went into these things. I mean, 1350 hp seemed reasonable for a motor that size, but I never converted that to wattage in my head as a comparison. At full chooch, that would be the equivalent power of around 1000 homes! And that's just one of six?!

It is not constant. It's starts at a low value and then gradually increases as the motor spins up and starts producing it's own counter EMF. Raising the voltage keeps the current (and thus the torque) at the same value.
I appriciate the difficulty in making video's like this. Thank you for this excellent example. 1.4kA at all the way up to 60km/h!! No wonder that thing was accelerating like a bunch of kids to the pizza at a birthday party.
All trains will typically draw stupid amounts of current at departure, it's the nature of electric motors to draw higher currents at low speeds. There's different types of technology around these days to make the engines draw smaller amounts of current while still providing an immense amount of power to get away as efficiently as possible. Mechanic field weakening is an older type of technique.
The serial production version Rc1 of the Rb prototypes (the Electroputere 5100, this machine) accelerates to 100 km in less than 10 s so yes an electric locomotive runs away very fast if allowed to (tractive 275 kN). The 5100 has even more tractive power (412 kN or soo...) The 5100 were built for the mountains in the Balkans.

@@TheStefanskoglund1 hmm,kinda quiet for an EA,you would probably hear the ventilation hummming,and their traction motors sound a bit rougher then this
So, the faster motor spins, the lower amps running through it. When amps drop below 900A, you hit field weakening stage-by-stage, and it allows to boost amps back to 1000A. And prolongate the acceleration. Like a gearbox. I'd never understand it without such an informative video!
I can tell you it is quite something when you push the acellerator forwards in a train and you watch it pull 700 amps from 16 kV, thats a lot of power! In sweden we have GFCI on the supply line voltage, that sounds like it should protect idiots from bbq themselves, but it trips at like 45 amps...
The DC motor here is a series wound machine, that is the field and armature windings are in series with each other. A permanent magnet (PM) motor uses magnets to generate the magnetic field instead of field winding coils. Anyway, once you get a series motor up far enough in speed the you basically run out of voltage to get the motor to further accelerate any further due to the back EMF of the motor. Field weakening reduces the current in the field winding which allows the already available motor voltage more 'room' to accelerate the motor further. Shunt and compound wound DC motors don't have these issues so much, but they also do not have the zero speed torque capabilities that the series wound motor has. You can still find series wound motors in use today in your cars electric starter. Pound for pound you're hard pressed to find another motor type for the cost and simplicity of control to provide this kind of torque abilities. I'm actually surprised there wasn't more flash from the contactors on this run. Very nice video!
When the train is running on a horizontal way,there is not need of high pulling force.So why magnetic field of the engines get decreased and the speed - increased.
+Jack Duno. locos use extra thin strand wire so its not that bad. Working under the loco is awful and you are always banging your head on stuff. its filthy down there. I have changed motor brush holders in place and that will test your patience. we always managed to get it done though.

Not necessarily. You have to figure in if it’s wired in series or parallel or series parallel. Some systems have anti-slip control so whenever a wheel breaks traction the motor stops or backs off.

In a nutshell, it's an electrical alteration to achieve different operating properties from a Direct Current electric motor. Someone else asked the same question 2 weeks before you did in another comment, and there is a fantastic response comment to that question, explaining in good detail how it works. Browse thru the comments to find the question asked by a commenter named Jim Colleran, and below it you will find the response from kleetus92 explaining what it is and why it is used.
Not only for DC-motors, you can apply field weakening to any electric motor (although it's not always necessary to use it). Simply said, weakening the magnetic field in the motor allows you to trade torque for speed. In this old heap they use it in three fixed steps (modern drives can do it continuously/without any steps). As the speed increases here, they weaken the field sequentially in 3 steps (much like changing gears in a car).
The used motor is a series motor which means that the field and armature are in series. Once the locomotive reaches a certain speed the field is shunted (parallel resistor). This will "sacrifice" torque for speed.
@@PrekiFromPoland The locomotive has a transformer with taps which reduces the AC voltage, a full bridge rectifier that turns AC into DC, and then it uses DC to power the 6 (or 4) DC motors on every axle.
When i watch video like this i always feel myself like i'm doing something shameful. It's like mom will burst into the room and yells: WHAT A HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Between Kiruna (Sweden) and Narvik (Norway) as the train is loaded with iron malm it decent into Narvik harbor the train's energy goes back into the grid.
All modern locomotives and trains have done this for the last 30 years or so now. But I read somewhere that the full iron ore train going downhill to Narvik generates all the energy that the empty train going uphill needs. So in total they use almost no electricity at all and the trip is "free".
Would that motor fit into my washing machine? I hooked my washer up to 480 volt single phase and it caught fire My neighbor gave me a metal box said it wAs a trans former and to back feed it whatever that meant and then connect it to the washer I turned on my main power the lights dimmed abit my flat screen tv blew all kinds of smoke I turned the washer on and boooooooom all the lights went out and the washer cirkutry was bright orange Wow what a mess my neighbor herd the come motion said if I get a biggy motor this wood half not happening So I be lookin for a big ger motor
Why use 480volts AC on a washing machine, 220VAC 2 pole would do the job just nicely. Hell they sell some that run on 120 on a 20amp circuit. I'm sorry but I'm not understanding, is this for your home or a business, do u live in the us or another country? The transformer that he gave u would need to be a step down transformer to convert your 480v to 220 and then send it to your washing machine. It blew cuz of all that power going into it lol this better be a joke
I can't figure out what I'm seeing here. What appears to me to be the train wheel (Bottom Left), is on an angle, and what looks like the motor (Top Center) seems inline with the direction of travel. So, I'm confused.
L'amperemetre montre l'intensite du courant secondaire (1500V) et pas le courant primaire (25kV). 6.000A sous 25kV donne 150MW ce qui est environ la puissance d'une petite turbine d'une centrale electrique ;) Si je me souviens bien le TGV a une puissance continue de environ 6MW ce qui donne 4000A sous 1.5kV
No that’s 1400 ampere just that you know A normal house has around 16 ampere at its sockets and you can die at 0,03Ampere so that you can compare with something

Good description of the load in the summary of the video...
"Ahead warp-factor five, Mr Sulu."
More like Transwarp than Warp factor 5.
Fly her apart then!
I love this so much! Thank you for posting this! I love watching how all this works :)
I don't know why.. But I always gravitate towards trains!..
Khi tàu đi qua, sẽ có một khoảng trống xung quanh tàu, sau đó không khí xung quanh sẽ đẩy bạn dọc theo tàu
Because they are so massive! ;-)
Does it fit my honda?
Great video! Big LIKE ;)
The people how disliked this have no idea how cool motors are
They are probably the same idiots that tried to out run a train at a crossing and got hit, lost a leg or a arm and lived.
@@Wildstar40 yup, definitely
when it starts up it sounds like an anti-mass spectrometer
Salam hai unn makers ko jinhone 80 - 130 ton tak ke weight ko khichne wali in beast motors ko banaya hai 💪🙏🇮🇳
What is the purpose of the field weakening?
In a nutshell, it's an electrical alteration to achieve different operating properties from a Direct Current electric motor. Someone else asked the same question 2 weeks before you did in another comment, and there is a fantastic response comment to that question, explaining in good detail how it works. Browse thru the comments to find the question asked by a commenter named Jim Colleran, and below it you will find the response from kleetus92 explaining what it is and why it is used.
Not only for DC-motors, you can apply field weakening to any electric motor (although it's not always necessary to use it). Simply said, weakening the magnetic field in the motor allows you to trade torque for speed. In this old heap they use it in three fixed steps (modern drives can do it continuously/without any steps). As the speed increases here, they weaken the field sequentially in 3 steps (much like changing gears in a car).
The used motor is a series motor which means that the field and armature are in series.
Once the locomotive reaches a certain speed the field is shunted (parallel resistor). This will "sacrifice" torque for speed.
Skip all the bible stories above. The only thing you wanted to know that it’s the electric equivalent of a gearbox.
People who love gasoline engines for the sound have never heard one of these engines, they are very cool
Very informative and well done. I learned a lot. Thank you!.
I can watch this for 10 hrs straight!!❤
This is an awesome Video. These traction motors can take a beating. Great camera work. What is the base voltage? 700V?
It really is neat that in their particular aspect they are just like model trains!
Very good.What loccomotive is that?BDZ class 46,yes?
ventsi002 Yes it is
But isn't it AC locomotive? There's no DC catenary in Bulgaria as far as I know.
@@PrekiFromPoland The locomotive has a transformer with taps which reduces the AC voltage, a full bridge rectifier that turns AC into DC, and then it uses DC to power the 6 (or 4) DC motors on every axle.
@@velikiradojica Interesting, in Poland there's lots of vehicles that do the opposite - convert 3kV DC into AC voltage via an inverter.
What is the gear reduction for these? Or is there?
Electric cars have 70 years of diesel locomotive tech behind them. The batteries are the only new thing about them.
That and the 3 phase ac motors controller by advanced electronics.
Motor controllers that convert DC to 3 phase AC have been in use in trains since the 1980s in The Netherlands, possibly earlier in other places.
car guy be like : hear me out I have an idea for our next project
Not sure exactly what I’m looking at but it’s definitely bad ass!
Put that motor in a car and you have an electric Koenigsegg lol
The what? Anyhow, I think the bottom of your car will sit on the road surface.
Great video! I've never seen this view of the actual traction motor under power.
Tasla Playd power.
When i watch video like this i always feel myself like i'm doing something shameful. It's like mom will burst into the room and yells: WHAT A HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Nothing I love more than sleeping on moving trains...like a lullaby.
Between Kiruna (Sweden) and Narvik (Norway) as the train is loaded with iron malm it decent into Narvik harbor the train's energy goes back into the grid.
All modern locomotives and trains have done this for the last 30 years or so now. But I read somewhere that the full iron ore train going downhill to Narvik generates all the energy that the empty train going uphill needs. So in total they use almost no electricity at all and the trip is "free".
Absolutely brilliant video, thanks for sharing
That sound omg iloveit
Well done. Great vid.👍☘️
Would that motor fit into my washing machine?
I hooked my washer up to 480 volt single phase and it caught fire
My neighbor gave me a metal box said it wAs a trans former and to back feed it whatever that meant and then connect it to the washer
I turned on my main power the lights dimmed abit my flat screen tv blew all kinds of smoke
I turned the washer on and boooooooom
all the lights went out and the washer cirkutry was bright orange
Wow what a mess my neighbor herd the come motion said if I get a biggy motor this wood half not happening
So I be lookin for a big ger motor
Why use 480volts AC on a washing machine, 220VAC 2 pole would do the job just nicely. Hell they sell some that run on 120 on a 20amp circuit. I'm sorry but I'm not understanding, is this for your home or a business, do u live in the us or another country? The transformer that he gave u would need to be a step down transformer to convert your 480v to 220 and then send it to your washing machine. It blew cuz of all that power going into it lol this better be a joke
I can't figure out what I'm seeing here. What appears to me to be the train wheel (Bottom Left), is on an angle, and what looks like the motor (Top Center) seems inline with the direction of travel. So, I'm confused.
Bill of this motor is extremely expensive 😅😂
No:)
Its HV so it not consume that much Amps.
The application of power looks very smooth, is there something other than a tap changer varying the motor power?
There is a thyristor controlled rectifier instead of tab changer.
1:40 My ps4 at night
Awesome video with great descriptions of what's going on!
Souvenir d'un voyage en cabine de TGV. Très impressionné de voir l'ampèremètre grimper à 6.000 A sous 25 kV au décollage de la rame !
L'amperemetre montre l'intensite du courant secondaire (1500V) et pas le courant primaire (25kV).
6.000A sous 25kV donne 150MW ce qui est environ la puissance d'une petite turbine d'une centrale electrique ;)
Si je me souviens bien le TGV a une puissance continue de environ 6MW ce qui donne 4000A sous 1.5kV
Y does a motor sound like a jet?
Would be shutting down
3 phase of induction traction motor one by one.
You know it's skookum when even Chuck respects it .
Legends watch this on 2x speed🤣🤣😂😂
I have no idea why I am here or why YT recomended it to me ... I like it
super wow
much like
thanks for this video, we also love electric motors
The metal dust I can smell it from here
It's Engine generating such horse power to roll the traction motor to drag the entire coaches is still an amazing thing
Muito bom.
You're telling me this thing is fed. ~ 1000 volts?
No that’s 1400 ampere just that you know A normal house has around 16 ampere at its sockets and you can die at 0,03Ampere so that you can compare with something
I don't know about you people but when I hear that thing starting up I hear the opening theme song for The six million Dollar man
What type of locomotive or multiple unit is this?
If you look carefully to current window at 0:29 you can spot the mouse cursor.
Yep
This is scary af and interesting at same time
Sound and track both awesome 👌👌
