China's axle load maximum electric locomotive complete type test

The electric locomotive with the largest axle load in China, the Harmony 2F high-power AC drive electric locomotive, has recently completed a type test project on the Shanxi Zhongnan Railway. At present, data collection and calculation of locomotive dynamics tests are in progress. If the type test results meet all the requirements of the technical specifications, it will refresh the new record for the axle load of China's high-power electric locomotives.

Type test is a comprehensive large-scale test project conducted for the technical performance of products to check whether the product meets all the requirements of the technical specifications. It is an important link for the product to obtain a market permit. The Harmony 2F electric locomotive is a large-shaft major-power AC drive electric locomotive independently developed by CNR Datong Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. (the same car company), which has set a new record for the axle load of China's high-power electric locomotives, marking China’s heavy weight. The development of electric locomotives has entered the world advanced level.

The Shanxi Zhongnan Railway Passage is a railway line designed for high-power AC drive electric locomotives with axle loads of 30 tons or more. The Harmony 2F electric locomotive operates on this railway. Under the same power, it can increase the traction by 20% compared with the ordinary locomotives, and can draw 15 to 20 vehicles more, improving the transportation safety factor. It is a solution to the tight rail freight and the use of main locomotives. Effective method of frequent situations. (Bi Sicong)
