Abstract

The paper presents an implementation of an improved starting system of the diesel engine fitted on LDH1250HP locomotives. Using a new system for controlling the starting motor of the diesel engine in the paper detailed the technical aspects related to energy sources - a battery of supercapacitors and a lead battery - which are intelligently and successively switched on the starting drive in order to offer a reliable and available starting process in any conditions. It is described the structure of the control system, the component devices, the performance obtained, and the future development previewed for this technology of starting systems.
