The record
Written by software from the 1 report below. The points restate them; where one says why it matters, that is Prism's reading, not a reported fact.
- Indian Railways has installed a rotary desiccant dehumidifier inside an electric locomotive based at the Kanpur Electric Loco Shed.
- The system aims to protect sensitive traction converter components from corrosion, oxidation, and short circuits caused by high humidity.
- This technology is currently undergoing a three-month operational trial on locomotive number 44061.
- Successful results could lead to the installation of the equipment in additional locomotives operating in high-humidity regions.
What to watch next
- Evaluation of performance data after the three-month trial
- Potential expansion of the technology to other locomotives in humid regions

…monsoon when humidity levels are high. According to Dr Shivam Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of the North Central Railway (NCR), the traction converter is a critical part of a modern electric locomotive. Moisture can lead to corrosion and oxidation of electronic cards, connectors and metal contacts. It can also cause dust and dirt to stick to components, increasing the risk of electrical leakage and short circuits.

…to protect train engine (Image: NCR) By reducing excess moisture, the dehumidifier is expected to provide a drier environment for these components and reduce the chances of moisture-related failures, he said. “ It has costed Rs 2.49 lakh and this equipment has been installed inside the machine room of the loco ,” the CPRO added. How does the new dehumidifier work? The railway official explained that the rotary desiccant dehumidifier absorbs excess moisture from the air inside the locomotive. This helps maintain a controlled,…
