INSULATION RESISTANCE AND HIGH-POTENTIAL TEST CAUTION:Before making a high potential test,the insulation resistance should be checked with

a 500V megger. Do not conduct high-potential test on a circuit with a megger reading of less th an one (1) mega ohm as the circuit may be damaged. INSULATION RESISTANCE(NEW LOCOMOTIVE) Have multi conductor plugs attached to the governor and tachometer generator. Open battery switch ,BS Open ground cut-switches GRCO1 & GRCO2 Disconnect the battery leads in the battery comartment then close the battery sw itch -BS. Close all switches and circuit breaker in the control compartment and on the con trol stand(or gauge panel). Move engine control switch ECS to RUN Position. Move reveres handeled to forword or reverse position.Breaking switch must be in motoring.Move main handle to 6th Notch position. Remove EXCP,TRP PANEL CARDS.Tie all high- voltage terminal points together on th e excitation panel.These poits are 34B,34T,34S,34A,34C,34,D,34E,34F34G,34F,36,R2 3 and 40V. Tie all control-Voltage terminal point together on the transition panel,voltageregulator and engine control panel. on the engine-control panel,34S and 34T are high-voltage points. In the power circuit of rectifier unit,short AC terminal(R,Y &B) and DC terminal (GA11&GA2) put jumper between AC nad DC terminals(R & GA11) Measure insulation resistance between blower motor terminal R-28 and locomotive frame. Measure insulation reisitance(1 m ohm) between power circuit and locomotive fram e.(The braided shunt of a "P" or "s" Contractors is a convenient place to clamp megger lead). Tie a jumper from the braided shunt of CK-1 to braided shunt of CK-2 & CK-3. Measure insulation resistance between control circuit and locomotive frame.conne ct megger to a CK contactor and ground. Measure insulation resistance between power and control circuit to be sure that they are not tied together. Before making a high potential test be sure that the indicated insulation resist ance of item HIGH-POTENTIAL TEST-POWER CIRCUIT: Ground control circuit to locomotive frame.short out load ammeter with hi-pot wi re. Attach one terinal of high-potential transformer to locomotive frame and the oth er side to any convenient point int the traction motor circuit such as the main

contact of a P and S contactor. Apply high potential: New locomotive : Apply 2000V for one minute. Locomotive in service : Apply 1050 for one minute. HIGH POTENTIAL TEST- CONTROL AND AUXILIARY CIRCUITS: Check wiring and terminal boards.correct loose connection and faulty insulation. Close all switches all swithes and breakers. remove temporary ground. Short out the battery charging ammeter with high potential wire.also short out L ed panel terminala with high potential wire. Attach ungrounded side of high-potential transformer to main movable contact of CK contrector. Apply high potential of 680 for one minute. open all switches.set main handle and Engine control switch(ECS) to idle .close ground cutout switches GRCO1 &2 .remove all ties on all control voltage terminal point and insert back EXCP TRP& VRP panel cards.remove all shorting/jumpers. Reconnect battery leads.make sure that leads are connected correcty with respect to battery polarity. AUXILIARY AND ALARM CIRCUITS SEQUENCE AND RELAY SEQUENCE CHECK: PRELIMINARY: have all switches of battery switch open controller handles in off and idle and ECS switch in idle. block CK1 ck2 ck3 contractors open with a 1/16 inch thick rubber sheet placed be tween contact with the arc chutes removed.Insulation must allowed sufficient mov ement of contact armature to open and close interlocks. Ring out train lines from coupler sockets to terminal boards. charge locomotive air system with at list 70 PSI shop air.if locomotive has safe ty control use foot pedal to hold safety control off and make a full independent application to keep safely control suppresed. close battery switch BS. close master battery breaker MB1 and main control breaker and MB2. DIESEL ENGINE SPEED CONTROL SEQUENCE (Motoring Dynamic Breaking): PERLIMINARY (MOTORING): Close master battery breaker MB1 & main control breaker MB2.close master circuit breakers MCB_1 &2 close master fuel-pump breakers MFPB_1 &2 and fuel pump break er FPB14. Have main handle in idle and reverse handle in off the safety control relay DMR should be energised. Have M.U. stop button in the RUN position.

SEQUENCE CHECK(MOTORING): Move the main handle from idle to 8th notch .noting the operating of the operati on of the diesel engine speed set relays.ESR1,ESR2,ESR3 and ESR4 at each notch.T hey should be energized in the diffrent notches according to the details show in the following:-

With main handle in 6th notch keep (the switches MUSO)&2 in "STOP" position-dies el engine speed set relay ESR4 should be the only relay energized.Reset MUSD & 2 in RUN position. Open all miniature circuit breakers-MB,MB MCB1,MCB2. "DMR" should drop off.open MEPB1 2 and FPB.
