Discussion occurring between AK ŽDYA and the railway authorities of Ulan-Bator revolved around repair matters related to locomotives
In a significant development for the rail industry, a meeting was held on August 3 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, between representatives of Joint Stock Company "Yakutia Railways" and Joint Stock Company "Ulaanbaatar Railway." The gathering was dedicated to issues of locomotive repairs, with a focus on the technology of repairing traction electric motors in current and medium scope.
The planned opening of the electromechanical department is relevant in connection with the discussed repair directions. This department is expected to play a crucial role in the repair of traction electric motors of the ED-118 and ED-133 series, which were one of the key topics discussed during the meeting.
Following the meeting, representatives of Mongolian Railways were invited to Yakutia, to the Aldan locomotive depot, for an experience exchange. This exchange is hoped to foster collaboration and innovation in the field of locomotive repair technology.
While there are no direct or detailed public sources found comparing the technology used by Joint Stock Company "Yakutia Railways" and Joint Stock Company "Ulaanbaatar Railway" for repairing traction electric motors, general rail industry knowledge suggests that repairing traction electric motors typically involves diagnostic testing, disassembly, winding repair or replacement, insulation refurbishment, balance testing, and reassembly. The sophistication in technologies may include computer-based diagnostics, automated winding machines, or thermal imaging for fault detection. However, specific comparative data for Yakutia Railways and Ulaanbaatar Railway was not identified.
Alexander Chuprov, Deputy Chief of the Locomotive Service for Repairs at AO "AK "YDY", stated that the meeting was beneficial for exchanging experience between Yakutia Railways and Mongolian Railways. Repairing traction electric motors at the Aldan locomotive depot in the TOR-3 and SR scope is an important development direction for the company.
This repair is expected to extend the service life of the electric motors and partially reduce the need for services from external organizations. Bymbadzorj Bayuugar and Bymbajav Enkhmand, Deputy Chief of the Locomotive Depot for Repairs at Ulaanbaatar Railway, acquainted Alexander Chuprov with the production workshops and technology of the Ulaanbaatar locomotive depot.
While a precise comparison may require accessing internal company documents, technical reports, or contacting these companies directly, industry reports or railway engineering publications specializing in Russian and Mongolian railways might cover this topic but are not included in the search results.
- The exchange of experience between Yakutia Railways and Mongolian Railways, as seen in the August 3 meeting in Ulaanbaatar, could potentially lead to advancements in the automotive industry, given the significance of railway technology in automotive propulsion systems.
- In the context of the industry, the renovation of traction electric motors by Joint Stock Company "Yakutia Railways" and Joint Stock Company "Ulaanbaatar Railway" is not only vital for railway finance but also could influence technology advancements in other transportation sectors, such as electric vehicles.
