Re# 1756698-22              
A few points to note :-
1. Those numbers are actually, simulation results. In real life, N number of other variables get added up as well.
2. It was officially replied by IR that WAP7 locos can be relatively more effective up to 130 km/h only, w.r.t. WAP5.
3. No matter what the TE is, the loco has to haul its own dead

weight first, then the rake :). A big, heavy locomotive weighing around 123 tonnes with 12 wheels and longer wheel base faces significantly greater rolling resistance when compared to a lighter, 78-ton loco with only 8 wheels.
That's why, in railway terminology, there's another term called "drawbar pull". It's the effective force applied by a given loco at the coupling of the rake or drawbar. The drawbar pull is very similar for both up to 130-140 km/h.
4. In the pic shared by Pratik sir, there's no mentioning of the horsepower of the locos. I'm assuming that the HP considered were continuous HP and not maximum for both of them. Only for P5, you can see another column mentioning the 'increased' HP (4.5 MW) which is the max HP of course.
5. For WAP5, TE values up to 160 km/h are mentioned and, for WAP7, 140 km/h only.

Don't worry. In next 3 years, all sheds will be equipped to handle all types of 3-phase locos, according to the latest circular of the railway board. They'll take P5 later. :D

in current scenario speeds>130 Kmph don't make much sense and so i considered only till 130 Kmph.
i knew of short time ratings, but you can drive your loco at those loads for few minutes only. also the heat generated has to be dissipated, and considering that seasons in many parts of south of India are hot, hotter and hottest ( :P ) there may be a derating factor involved.
as a passenger loco P5 is obviously superior for high speed ambitions of IR, but currently i'm not sure that is the case.

Even with SCR, the reason for rejecting was more about convenience. LGD already has a sizeable fleet of WAG9 locos. And, other than the gear ratio and software changes, WAP7 is nothing but a white WAG9 :P . So, adding WAP7's would not cost them anything as there is no infrastructure change needed. Whereas adding WAP5's needs quite a lot of infrastructure changes. I hope sheds which are still not in the 3 phaser list, like BZA and AJJ get to home WAP5's.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
