What should we pay attention to when driving a mining electric locomotive?

Date:2022-05-11

The content of mining electric locomotive driving training should include: understanding of mining electric locomotives (familiar with its mechanical structure and electrical components); usage specifications of mining electric locomotives (including basic inspection methods and driving principles of electric locomotives); accident rehearsal.

Here are some driving principles:

1. Documents. Electric locomotive drivers must receive corresponding training and pass the certificate before starting work. Undocumented persons are not allowed to drive.

2. Before driving, check whether the electric locomotive has obvious faults or damage.

3. When checking the electric locomotive, the power must be cut off and the electric locomotive must be stopped.

4. Send a signal to warn people around you before driving, including turning on a red light and ringing the alarm bell.

5. The running speed of the electric locomotive should not exceed 4m/s as much as possible.

6. It is strictly forbidden for the driver to extend his body parts out of the car, especially the head.

7. During emergency braking, the mechanical brake and the electrical brake are used at the same time to ensure the braking effect.

8. After the underground electric locomotive brakes in an emergency, a corresponding signal should be issued.

9. For electric locomotives running on the same track, the distance should be kept more than 100m.

10. Non-motor vehicles should be kept away from moving electric locomotives.

The above is an introduction to the basic content of driving training for mining electric locomotives.
