    1:08 Notice the 'field weakening' at higher speeds. At higher speeds the back emf becomes sufficiently high to impede flow of current into the rotor winding, thus reducing available power. So field current is reduced to keep current flowing into the rotor.

      The motor becomes a generator when power is not applied..
      To keep the current flowing is to power it up a small amount to cancel out the power it produces when the motor becomes a generator.
      You can also exploit this anomaly by sending the generated power to a resistor bank. Large resistor bank can absorb a lot of power requiring the generator motor to exert more force. Said force counteracts the inertial motion of the locomotive slowing it down. The dynamic braking principle is born.

      @desiboi2559 i think you'd like a better understanding at this..cause this is very interesting...
      A motor generally requires electricity to work...but what most people don't realise is after the motor start spinning... it's basically like a generator (coil of conductor rotating in a field) this it also generates a back emf that opposes the applied voltage. This is good as it reduces the current draw(can be more explained in an equation just look it up). Thus we also don't have to worry about the motor frying too...at the starting there is no back emf thus high current is draw...this is why we use starters...they add additional resistance to the circuit and thus limiting the current. At high speeds the armature current becomes also too little ig..thus the current required to sustain the magnetic field is reduced (as in video) and is used for the motor

    I never realized how much power went into these things. I mean, 1350 hp seemed reasonable for a motor that size, but I never converted that to wattage in my head as a comparison. At full chooch, that would be the equivalent power of around 1000 homes! And that's just one of six?!

      @@jasonjamrs7413 I'm not an expert by any means at all, however I have worked with some fairly large engines (not trains) so will make an educated guess.
      I'm assuming it has something to do with either piston size or the generator, they are pretty heavy and leaving heavy moving parts sitting in one spot for an extended period of time can cause massive amounts of damage just from the weight of it.
      Hydroelectric powerplants like the ones you would find in a few major dams have to TAKE power from the grid at all times even if they arent generating any to replace it because if the massive multi-ton turbines stopped spinning for any amount of time they would have to be replaced entirely as the weight being in one spot for even just a few seconds is enough to crush the bearings that allow it to rotate.
      So, best guess is general maintenance? Trying to stave off wear and tare and corrosion?

      All trains will typically draw stupid amounts of current at departure, it's the nature of electric motors to draw higher currents at low speeds. There's different types of technology around these days to make the engines draw smaller amounts of current while still providing an immense amount of power to get away as efficiently as possible.

    So, the faster motor spins, the lower amps running through it. When amps drop below 900A, you hit field weakening stage-by-stage, and it allows to boost amps back to 1000A. And prolongate the acceleration. Like a gearbox. I'd never understand it without such an informative video!

      The DC motor here is a series wound machine, that is the field and armature windings are in series with each other. A permanent magnet (PM) motor uses magnets to generate the magnetic field instead of field winding coils. Anyway, once you get a series motor up far enough in speed the you basically run out of voltage to get the motor to further accelerate any further due to the back EMF of the motor. Field weakening reduces the current in the field winding which allows the already available motor voltage more 'room' to accelerate the motor further. Shunt and compound wound DC motors don't have these issues so much, but they also do not have the zero speed torque capabilities that the series wound motor has.
      You can still find series wound motors in use today in your cars electric starter. Pound for pound you're hard pressed to find another motor type for the cost and simplicity of control to provide this kind of torque abilities.
      I'm actually surprised there wasn't more flash from the contactors on this run. Very nice video!

    I turned on my main power the lights dimmed abit my flat screen tv blew all kinds of smoke
    I turned the washer on and boooooooom

      Why use 480volts AC on a washing machine, 220VAC 2 pole would do the job just nicely. Hell they sell some that run on 120 on a 20amp circuit. I'm sorry but I'm not understanding, is this for your home or a business, do u live in the us or another country? The transformer that he gave u would need to be a step down transformer to convert your 480v to 220 and then send it to your washing machine. It blew cuz of all that power going into it lol this better be a joke

      In a nutshell, it's an electrical alteration to achieve different operating properties from a Direct Current electric motor. Someone else asked the same question 2 weeks before you did in another comment, and there is a fantastic response comment to that question, explaining in good detail how it works. Browse thru the comments to find the question asked by a commenter named Jim Colleran, and below it you will find the response from kleetus92 explaining what it is and why it is used.

    • @bigcheese781
      @bigcheese781 6 років тому +10

      Not only for DC-motors, you can apply field weakening to any electric motor (although it's not always necessary to use it). Simply said, weakening the magnetic field in the motor allows you to trade torque for speed. In this old heap they use it in three fixed steps (modern drives can do it continuously/without any steps). As the speed increases here, they weaken the field sequentially in 3 steps (much like changing gears in a car).

    • @ppdan
      @ppdan 6 років тому +3

      The used motor is a series motor which means that the field and armature are in series.
      Once the locomotive reaches a certain speed the field is shunted (parallel resistor). This will "sacrifice" torque for speed.

    • @johntapp1411
      @johntapp1411 4 роки тому +1

      Not necessarily. You have to figure in if it’s wired in series or parallel or series parallel. Some systems have anti-slip control so whenever a wheel breaks traction the motor stops or backs off.

    • @woodheat411
      @woodheat411 4 роки тому

      John Tapp :Hello. Has it actually been a year since I posted this? Wired in series OR parallel I understand. Series Parallel would be series, but with two , or extra heavy, wires which can handle the load of hill climbs or heavy acceleration. Is braking done with electromagnetics? If so, possibly creating the heaviest demand?
      Was this tech stolen and abused to make the prius? What a waste that would be!

    • @johntapp1411
      @johntapp1411 4 роки тому +1

      Contraband Fan by Mark Burns First of all, I’m no expert. Second, there are electromagnetic braking systems on some but not all of these locomotives, in conjunction with standard air brakes. One such system is called regenerative braking, where the traction motor wiring is switched so that the motors act as generators, and the power generated goes out through the line and is used by other trains. Dynamic braking, although much like regenerative, only goes through resistance grids-diesel locomotives so equipped use this method.
      I doubt very much Prius borrows much if any technology from trains. The demands on both are very different and wouldn’t be practical above or below a certain size.

    • @woodheat411
      @woodheat411 4 роки тому +1

      John Tapp, regenerative is the term I was looking for. Very edficient! This must be why idiots, mostly libtards are removing railways. Two lines have been taken out here in Indianapolis, The Nickel Plate and the Monon, one of which is now a greeeeeeeeenway, the other having no rails left, and no trespassing signs at all road crossings. It is tempting to drive the rout and test my 4X4 just for a laugh. I was being sarcastic about the prius, and I would not have one, unless I could equip it with a big block V8 and 4 on the floor, The snotty imported, smug driver having, eco wannabe, unicorn clown cars. HAA!

    • @johntapp1411
      @johntapp1411 4 роки тому +2

      Contraband Fan by Mark Burns pound for pound, freight by rail is more efficient, uses less fuel, costs less in overhead, and when stack trains along with intercity trucks, can be very viable transportation, along with freighters for import/export. The idiots out there just don’t know you can’t throw away a transportation mode just because it sounds like it may burn more fuel. Actually, trains burn less fuel, and are ideal for huge land masses.

    Almost half the amperage required at max RPM due to decreased field current (field weakening) to compensate for increased inductive reactance/impedance in the armature (AKA Back EMF) exhibited by all series DC motors as a result of faster current reversals in the armature @ higher RPM. Lenz's law.
