DESCRIPTION OF HUNGARIAN 11l,ANZH SIX-CAR DIESEL-EiECTRIC TRAIN
Under the Soviet-Hungarian trade agreement, the Ganz Factoriescthis rainyearto 50X1- HUM
began shipment of the Ganz. six-car remote-contro 50X1-HUM
ngie closed unit,
and consists of two identical T!he cr cars are equipped with
equipped with automatic coupler and buffers and one 50X1- HUM
controls at one end of the car
motor car is located at each end of the train. The 0 berths, otwotragage or
designed for long-distance travel, and has 1900osleeping n olecggic
postal compartments of appro i.Atply 50X1-HUM
kitchen, a bar, and a diner
The built-in diesel engines produce a total of 1,640 horsepower, the weight
by
at maximum load is approximately kilometers and the maximum of the mail. iel
track in calm. air is 125-130
a power-output control arm, which is manipulated by the engineer, and automatic
ontrol equipment, In addition to the main power plants,the motor cars have
independent auxiliary diesel-generator units which generate electricity for
auxiliary circuits, air conditioning, air compressors, etc,
The main power plant in each motor car consists cyderidiesel 50X1-HUM
engine, developing 600 horsepower at 1,100 rpm built into one unit
tt ilt t generator ur employing a single-bearing, atin -wound, 55
The direct current prc-
verte mixed by byct the etgenerator is e man con t-type rheostat and a con-
to drive series-wound traction motors with forced ventilation. Consider-
verter tit
ing the constant load of the train, the two traction motors are connected per-
manently in parallel for the sake of simplicity. The traction motors are lo-
cated on the two axles of the 3-axle truck which are closest to the center of
the motor care The main generator is driven by a Ganz-Jendrassik vertical V-
type, four-stroke, forward-chamber,hhed16-cylinder diesel engine.
Fuel is fed by the usual spring-type injectors.
