Methods for diagnosing electrical problems locomotive chains

Abstract

The main methods of search of malfunctions of electric equipment of rolling stock are considered: organoleptic method, parametric analysis, probability-time method, split half method (chord method), the logical method of diagnosis, method of applying graph theory. It has been determined that the greatest effect can be btained through the creation and implementation in each locomotive depot of diagnostic tools based on computer technology and improvement of the system of scheduled preventive repairs, as well as the transition to the repair of locomotives according to the actual technical condition.
