The locomotives of the class Ф (German transcription F) of the Soviet Railways (SŽD) were wide-gauge electric locomotives for mixed traffic.
history
The Ф (F) series electric locomotives were built in three different versions by the French manufacturer Alsthom in 1959/60 . In terms of their structure, they correspond to the 7100 series from SNCF . In addition to adapting the bogies to the wider track width, the floor frame had to be preloaded for the installation of the SA-3 central buffer coupling. Because of the higher contact wire position, the pantographs had to be raised by means of roof structures. The functionality should be guaranteed in the temperature range from –50 to +40 ° C and the experience with the SŽD series ВЛ60 had to be taken into account. They were produced as variant Ф for freight train service with a top speed of 100 km / h in 30 units, as variant Ф Р (F R ) for freight train service with electrical resistance brake in 10 units and as variant Ф П (F P ) for passenger train service with 160 km / h built.
Before the locomotives were built, extensive tests were carried out on the original machines, particularly with regard to the behavior of the electrical and mechanical equipment at temperatures as low as –60 ° C. After the first locomotive was completed, extensive investigations were carried out on the SNCF network .
The operational use on the SŽD network showed that, despite the great effort, the susceptibility to failure was higher than that of the locomotives of the Novocherkassk electric locomotive factory . In the 1970s, they were converted from mercury vapor to silicon rectifiers and re-launched as the Ф К (F K ) series. They were in service with the Krasnoyarsk Railway until 1987 .
The Ф К 07 is in the Russian Railway Museum in Saint Petersburg .
