Protkarsh Kumar's video: 9000HP WDG4 WDG4D Twin Diesel Engines Idle Sounds - EMD 16-710G3C Stereo Audio

Engine idle sound of EMD 16-710G3C prime mover of WDG4/WDG4D locomotive. Details of the WDG4/WDG4D Locomotive and Engine are as follows: Weight of Locomotive: 126T/130.2T Axle load: 21.7T Engine make and type: 710 G3C Governor: Woodward Weight of engine: 17963 Kg (dry) Number of cylinders: 16 Cylinder formation: 45 degree V type Compression Ratio: 16:1 Horsepower: 4500hp Input to Traction: 4150hp Starting tractive effort: 540kN Rated RPM: 954 Injection System: Direct Unit Injector Turbo Supercharger make and type: EMD Model G Weight of turbocharger: 953 Kg Fuel Tank (detachable) capacity: 6000 litres Traction motor gear ratio: 17:90 Max speed: 105/100kmph The Indian locomotive class WDG4 (EMD GT46MAC) is a freight-hauling diesel-electric locomotive with AC electric transmission designed by General Motors Electro-Motive Diesel in 1997–1998 for Indian Railways, where they are classed as WDG4. Derived from the EMD SD70MAC, it is powered by a 4,000 hp (3,000 kW) 16-cylinder EMD 710G3B prime mover. Thirteen were built by EMD as order, and a further eight were exported in kit form and assembled in India. The class entered service in 1999. Further construction has been under license in India by the Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW); more than 60 additional locomotives have been built as of 2006. A similar type, the EMD GT46PAC, has also been produced for passenger service in India. As of August 2007, EMD and DLW have begun building GT46ACe's using IGBT technology to replace the older gate turn-off thyristor technology and along with increase of 500 hp, ie, 4,500 hp (3.4 MW), using the newly tweaked EMD 16N-710G3B-EC, like the passenger WDP4B have been produced. Newer versions with widened Piggy-face cab profile for enhanced visibility, just like the later variants of WDP4's and WDP4B's were also produced. As of February 2013, DLW began building the Dual Cab version called WDG4D, based on the passenger variant WDP4D locos, same for both-side visibility. Here again, many features, including IGBT and 4,500 hp have been carried on from the single cab GT46ACe's. The first WDG4D, numbered 12681, is named "Vijay". Later WDG4D's were numbered from 70301, as the 12*** series came to an end in 2014 and got switched to 70*** series. Over 1,500 such locomotives, including both WDG4's and WDG4D's are currently in operation.
