The First Indonesian Locomotive by GE CC 200

Severe restrictions on the weight of locomotives - steam and diesel - Railways State of Indonesia have a report on the war and the new 1,200 hp diesel-electric locomotives was a little wheel system and a simple modification, under the condition that the track and bridges can be amplified can be made. The 27 locomotives sent recently by General Electric (USA), the wheel arrangement Co-Co-B, that has a locomotive of 96 tons maximum axle load of 12 tons, but the body and chassis were to be removed sufficiently strong for the bogie center when the track and focus on improving the structure so that the Co-Co locomotive about 92 ½ tons and 15 tons axle load and the resulting problems. 

In outline and characteristics of these locomotives to monitor the manufacturer's standard practice adapted in size to the 3 feet 6 inches. The wheels are 35.6 inches in diameter., Any truck with three axles with a wheelbase of 7 feet 6 inches turntable outside the six-wheel truck was launched 31 feet 4 inches and the wheelbase is a total of 43 feet 2 "total height is 12 meters and a maximum width of 8 feet 8 ½ "minimum bend radius of the locomotive driving at low speed is 460 meters radius, and the maximum speed is 62 MPH, is out effort traction to 30 percent of the membership of £ 47.500 and 28.600 pounds of constant force 17 mph Fuel Tank Capacity 420 gallons. 

Laminated steel sheet, plates and shapes are the fabric and superstructure. Roof and walls of the cabin is insulated with fire-resistant materials. Bogie frame are equipped with plates and were lubricated forming and welding of the plate center with hard metal coatings. The vehicles are fully compensated own spin rate hike, with the wheels with different tires. Hard steel faces are pushed out through the fields in the rolling bearing grease mounted. Straight air brakes, the locomotive has a vacuum applied for the rail facilities and operates under the control of "the dead." A three-cylinder engine coupled with a vacuum cleaner, two of its compressor, the cylinder as a fan and the third as a compressor. 

Supported by a strong common ground mounted chassis of the locomotive. The banks of the radiator is mounted on the sides at one end of the engine room, but be a fan cooled with two-speed electric drive, and the device is designed so that the engine cool to room temperature 90 degrees F. and at an altitude of 1,500 feet 

Electrical equipment of a main generator has characterized excite three speed auxiliary, a pilot amplifying to the main generator field;. A constant voltage generator auxiliary battery charging, lighting and power control in the constant potential in the range of the engine and auxiliary generator provide variable voltage fan motor and fan heaters. The battery is a unit of 32 cells of lead-acid batteries. There are six current engines vented nose hung. There is a group from the fan motor vehicles and the air from the cabin above the platforms. The inverter and the options are electro-pneumatic contactors and relays, all other electro-magnetic. The traction motors are connected in series in pairs of three and six parallel.
