摘要：Traction is a physical process in which a tangential force is transmitted across an interface between two bodies through dryfriction or an intervening fluid film resulting in motion, stoppage or the transmission of power. Traction system is classifiedinto electric and non-electric. Electric traction satisfies most of the requirements of an ideal traction system which are not metby the use of non-electric traction. Electric traction consists of both AC and DC supply systems. Generally traction motors usedare Dc series motors.Railways are the world's second-largest railway. Safe transportation of passengers is the key business objective of anytransportation system. Railways are recognized as the safest mode of mass transportation and Safety has been recognized asthe key issue for the railways and one of its special attributes. ACD is ‘self-acting’ microprocessor-based data communicationequipment patented by KRCL that works ‘round-the-clock’. Different variants of ACDs when installed on Locomotives (alongwith their Auto-Braking Units), Guard Vans/SLRs, Stations and at Level Crossings (both manned as well as un-manned), forman ‘ACD Network’.
