History
Electrification of railways in the USSR
The first electric locomotives in the USSR appeared on the Suramsky crossing section of the Transcaucasian railway . The heavy mining profile, the absence of special types of steam locomotives , the rapid growth of transportation (including the transportation of Baku oil to the ports of Georgia ) led to the emergence of the idea of the need for electrification of this section.
The first section, electrified in the USSR, was Baku -Sabunchi, but there electrification was carried out under suburban traffic. In 1928, work began on the construction of high-voltage lines, a contact network and a traction substation at the Suram Pass . As a current system, a DC system with a rated voltage of 3000 V was adopted, which was widespread by then in Europe and America.
Foreign samples
It was decided to purchase the first batch of electric locomotives for the Suramsky pass section abroad. In the future, it was planned to master their production in the Soviet Union, using the experience of foreign firms.
NKPS appealed to a number of foreign companies in order to place an order for the supply of locomotives for the Suram Pass. Proposals were received from such well-known companies as German AEG and Siemens-Shukert , American GE ( General Electric ) and Westinghouse, Italian Techno-Masio Brown Boveri, and English Metropolitan Vickers. Based on the results of the study of the materials provided, it was decided to dwell on the proposals of the companies GE and Technomasio Brown Bowery. Both companies already had experience building similar type electric locomotives - GE built 3000 V DC electric locomotives for Brazilian mountain roads, the Italian company supplied electric locomotives for Italian state railways using the same current system.
A contract was signed with GE for the supply of eight electric locomotives, as well as the provision of a set of working drawings and other documentation necessary to organize the production of such electric locomotives in the USSR. It was stipulated that only the first two electric locomotives would be equipped with their own traction motors (TED), while the remaining 6 were planned to be equipped with engines manufactured by the Moscow Dynamo machine-building plant.
The Italian company was ordered seven electric locomotives.
Precursors of the first Soviet electric locomotive
In June 1932, the first two electric locomotives (C10-01 and C10-03), built by GE, arrived at the Khashuri Depot of the Transcaucasian Railway. These two electric locomotives were equipped with American traction motors. The series received the designation C10 . The remaining six electric locomotives, without electric motors, were received from GE at the end of the same year.
In the summer of 1932, work on the electrification of the Suramsky Pass was completed. August 2, 1932 it was run-in of the first in the USSR mainline electric locomotive. Two passenger cars, driven by the C10-03 locomotive, passed from Khashuri station to Lihi station and back. The test drive was successful and took 1 hour and 10 minutes.
In 1933 - 1934, seven electric locomotives built by the Italian company Tekhnomasio Brown Boveri arrived in the USSR. The Italians used a number of interesting design solutions on their electric locomotives, which subsequently found a place on Soviet production machines. A series of these electric locomotives was designated C10 And or simply With And .
In accordance with the terms of the order, the electric locomotives C And could work on the system of many units with other electric locomotives of the C series. When tested in November 1933, it took no more than 5 minutes for the hitch of an electric locomotive of the C series with electric locomotive C 10-10. Management was conducted from the cab of the driver And 10-10.
Soviet Surami
In 1929, work began on the production of electrical equipment and the mechanical part of electric locomotives, respectively, in accordance with the documentation for series C, received from GE. By May 1, 1932, the Dynamo plant produced the first two traction motors DPE-340 (electric locomotive engines of constant current with a clock-mode power of 340 kW at the D inamo plant). In June of the same year, the first set of locomotive equipment was released. And in August, the mechanical part of the Surama type electric locomotive arrived from the Kolomna Plant.
In November 1932, the C 11-01 electric locomotive was sent for running-in to the electrified section of the Northern Railways, and then entered the Suram Pass of the Transcaucasian Railway .
In 1933, the Kolomna and Dinamo factories produced another 17 electric locomotives of the С С series, or, as they were then called, С С 11. The name of the series means Uramsky type from the Soviet production. In 1934, the last 3 electric locomotives of this series were manufactured. Later, the production of VL19 electric locomotives began.
Electric locomotives No. 01-03 arrived at the Khashuri depot of the Transcaucasian Road, and No. 04-21 arrived at the Chusovskaya depot of the Perm Railway to service the Chusovskaya- Kizel mountain section. In 1933-1934 Suramsky pass area was completely transferred to the electric traction. At the same time, a single Surama type electric locomotive began to perform work 2.5 of the E series locomotive . In 1934, all train locomotives of the E-series were replaced by electric locomotives and in the section Chusovskaya - Kizel .
Since 1952, all Surama type electric locomotives were modernized under the conditions of a repair factory, where they were replaced with TED for more powerful DPE-400 and brought the electrical circuits in line with Soviet VL type electric locomotives. After upgrading, they were assigned the letter "M".
Electric locomotives of C and C series were excluded from the park in 1973, C series C M series - in 1968 - 1974, C series C - in 1960-1965, and C series MI - in 1967 and 1979 .
