Repair of the Traction Motor ED-118

The traction motor ED-118 is a key component of the TEM2 diesel locomotive, providing its movement and traction force

Repairing this motor requires high qualifications and precision, as its condition directly affects the reliability and performance of the locomotive.

Repairing the traction motor ED-118 includes several main stages:

The repair process begins with the diagnosis and disassembly of the motor. Specialists check the condition of all components, including the windings, commutator, brush assembly, and bearings.

At this stage, major defects are often identified, such as brush wear, winding damage, or commutator problems.

After diagnosis, the cleaning and repair process begins. Damaged windings are rewound or replaced, the commutator is ground and restored, and the bearings are replaced with new ones.

Special attention is paid to balancing the rotor to avoid vibrations and overheating during operation.

The final stage of the repair is the assembly of the motor and its testing on special stands.

Here, the operability of all systems is checked, parameters of electrical resistance, insulation, and other characteristics are measured.

Only after successfully passing all tests is the motor considered ready for operation and can be reinstalled on the locomotive.

Thus, a quality repair of the traction motor ED-118 significantly extends the service life of the TEM2 diesel locomotive, ensuring its reliable and efficient operation.
