The document discusses electric traction systems used in railways. It describes the different types of electric traction including DC and AC systems. It covers the components of an AC locomotive and the types of traction motors used like DC series motors and three phase induction motors. Some key advantages of electric traction are faster acceleration, better braking, and no pollution. Long distance railways typically use 25kV AC overhead lines while suburban railways use 1500V DC. Battery powered locomotives are suitable for mines with explosive gases.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

12. MAJOR CLASSIFICATIONs OF traction
• Non-electric traction:
examples
Steam engine drive
IC engine drive
• Electric traction:
examples
Diesel electric drive
Gas turbine electric drive
Electric drive
13. The locomotion in which the
driving force is obtained from
electric motor is called the
electric traction system.
What is electric
traction?
14. The year 1881 saw the birth of the first electric Railway run
by a German Engineer Werner Invented electric traction.
Electric traction was introduced on Indian Railways in year
1925 on 1.5 KV DC and the first electric train ran between
Bombay's Victoria Terminus and Kurla along the Harbour Line.
In the year 1957, Indian Railways decided to adopt 25 kV 50
Hz AC traction based on French Railway (SNCF) technology.
The Mumbai region is the last bastion of 1500V DC
(negative earth, positive catenary) electrified lines on Indian
Railways.
A Brief History To Electric Traction
15. Voltages Used For Electric Traction In India
Typical Voltages used for electric Traction are 1500 V DC and
25kV AC for mainline trains.
The Calcutta Metro uses 750V DC traction.
The Delhi Metro uses 25kV AC overhead traction.
Railway authorities purchases the power from the supply
authorities and they give voltage supply of 132/110 KV at
substation.
16. Requirements of an
ideal traction
system
High starting tractive effort to have rapid acceleration.
Minimum wear on the track.
Easy speed control.
Minimum equipment and maximum efficiency.
Withstanding of large temporary loads.
Self contained and compact locomotive.
No interference with the other systems like communication
Pollution free environment
18. Demerits of
electric traction
High capital cost.
Problem of supply failure.
The electrically operated vehicles have to
move on guided track only.
Additional equipment is required for
achieving electric braking and control.
38. Traction motors
• DC series motor
• Ac series motor
• Three phase induction motor
39. Traction motor electrical features
• High starting torque
• Simple speed control
• Regenerative braking
• Better commutation
• Capability of withstanding voltage fluctuations.
