Bavarian EP 1
The electric passenger train locomotives of Class EP 3/5 were the first electric locomotives for single-phase 15 kV and 16 2/ 3 Hz for the Bavarian State Railways. The first electric plant in Bavaria was on the track Murnau- Oberammergau with 5 kV and 16 Hz from January 1, 1905 After 1918, they were in EP1 20 001 -. Renamed 005 and 01 of the DR as E 62 - 05 accepted.
History
On 1 July 1912, the operation was recorded on the track Garmisch- Scharnitz, was carried out with 28 October 1912, the electrical equipment. As of May 28, 1913 was also on the track Garmisch- Reutte electric traction. For this purpose, five locomotives of the EP 3 series / 5 20001-005 procured by the Bavarian State Railways and put into service in 1913. They were employed mainly on the stretch Garmisch -Reutte. At the opening of the electric operation on the route Bad Reichenhall, Berchtesgaden a machine (EP 3/5 20 001 ) was loaned to Freilassing. The machines proven in use and were stationed in the depot Garmisch, partly they were until 1955 in service.
Three machines remained after the Second World War in the German Federal Railways, the others had been decommissioned in 1939 and 1941. The last machine, the E 62 001 was decommissioned in 1955 and turned up in 1965 at the repair shop Freimann and disassembled later.
Get the drive unit of the E 62 001 by the Nuremberg Transport Museum. When the fire in the engine shed Nuremberg - Gostenhof in 2005 it was badly damaged.
Technology
A slow running large series motor with 28 poles and two commutators drove directly and without reduction via an inclined rod on an unsprung jackshaft. About a coupling rod this drive axles mounted under the three was connected. The center distance of the driving axles amounted to 2000 mm. The jackshaft was between the first and second drive axle. First and third drive axle were fixed in the frame, the middle slides sideways for better trackability. The mass was distributed in addition to two synchronous axes that were designed as Adam Saxony. The control was carried out using a rotary transformer and circuit breakers with 11 speed steps. The locomotive body had two Endführerstände, with wedge-shaped tapered ends. The faces were as the Bavarian State Railroad usual center doors and transitions. The side walls had three windows with underlying ventilation slots. Instead of a steam boiler for train heating ( as for the series EP 3/6 20101-104, EP 3, E 36.1), a connection for electric train heating was already present.
