1.0 Foreword
       This specification covers broad features, requirement and testing of the main transformer
       for 3-phase drive locomotive type WAG-9 for working with IGBT based power converters
       having switching frequency 450 Hz. This locomotive is presently being manufactured by
       CLW with LOT 6500 KVA capacity transformers as per their original design provided
       with GTO based power converters. As on electric locomotives GTOs are getting
       obsolete, IGBT based traction converters are now being provided in phased manner.
       Finally, all the new locomotives are expected to be provided with IGBT based Converters
       in future
       The main transformer type LOT 6500 for WAG 9 locomotive compatible to work with
       IGBT based converters is to be manufactured with steel tank having identical outlines
       drawing to that of LOT 6500 KVA transformer. The technical parameters of
       Auxiliary(BUR) winding and filter winding are almost identical with existing design of LOT
       6500/7500 KVA transformer.
2.0 Scope
       The scope of this specification is to design, develop, manufacture and supply traction
       transformer type LOT 6500 KVA with One HV winding, Four traction windings, One filter
       winding, One Auxiliary winding for used on WAG 9 locomotives with the same
       dimensional envelop and mounting arrangement to that of the existing LOT 6500
       transformer. The new transformer shall be designed using the latest world-wide
       technology to work in conjunction with IGBT based power converters.
        Wind speed          High wind speed in certain areas, with wind pressure
                             reaching 150 kg/m2
4.0 Standards
       The following specifications shall generally be followed for manufacture and testing of the
       transformer:-
5.0 Description
5.1    Each loco requires one transformer for feeding supply to traction converters/ traction
       motors, to auxiliary converter for supplying to auxiliary machines and to supply Hotel load
       of train. This transformer will consist of Primary winding, 04 Traction windings, Auxiliary
       winding (BUR). In addition, it has a FILTER winding which is connected on locomotive to
       passive filter.
5.2    The transformer tank also contains 02 series resonant chokes (one for each converter) &
       03 Auxiliary Converter double chokes (one for each of the 03 auxiliary converters).
5.3    The transformer has also provision of 01 additional reactors for Auxiliary(BUR) winding.
       This reactor is provided to ensure the impedance of auxiliary winding similar to their
       existing rating (in LOT 6500 KVA transformer with Aluminium tank) and shall be
       connected internally in series with the winding and therefore, bushing terminals for this
       reactor is not required on the tank cover. However, the provision of these 01 additional
       reactor in the transformer is provisional and their actual requirement will be decided
       based on testing results of the prototype unit.
5.4    Transformer is forced oil cooled and external cooling of the oil is designed with two
       independent oil circuits with cooling units of capacity 120 KW each located within the
       machine room of locomotives. However, the cooling units / circuit component do not form
       part of transformer supply.
5.5    L.V. and H.V. bushings mounted on the top shall be in line with the existing bushing
       mounted on the LOT 6500 KVA transformer.
5.6    The transformer main tank and its two conservators shall be made of standard steel. The
       proposed outlines of the LOT 6500 KVA transformer shall have identical interfaces as
       described in HSTN 003359(original outlines of LOT 6500 KVA transformer). The
