NJT Bombardier ALP-46 Electric Locomotive MITRAC GTO-VVVF Inverter PWM Phase Shift Compilation

Compilation of the inverter phase shift that occurs around 23 mph both from trackside and from in the vestibule. Enjoy =)

I never get tired of the sounds of the original ALP-46s. NJT needs to give them some TLC. A lot of them look battered and faded now. Same goes for the multilevels with their faded windows.

[@TBF_1J]

I love these sounds. Had them in my head the other day

[@TheSearleFamily123]

Just FYI, Bombardier/Alstom MITRAC only ever consists of IGBT- and SiC*-VVVF. MITRAC packages actually come in 3 different categories i.e. Power (the VVVF inverters and 3-phase^ AC [offers both asynchronous and permanent magnet synchronous] traction motors), Pulse (the traction battery found on the Talent 3 [since transferred to CAF] trains), and Control (the Train Control and Management/Monitoring System).
*TC1500 in Stockholm and Singapore only.
^Not related to the sounds you hear.

[@tankman_tv9332]

I was expecting it to make a sort of racecar noise as its usually common with locomotives with a GTO-VVVF converter

[@MSRTA_Productions]

To me I love the sounds from the "A" variants than these IMO. More musical to my ears lol.

[@FanRailer]

More musical yes, but to me, not as interesting.

Nice! But can you try this on an ALP-46A please. I seen the DP video a couple of years ago.

[@TheSearleFamily123]

The pattern by the way is Asynchronous, then Direct Self-Control, then Synchronous (wide area 3 pulses, then 1 pulse).

[@mittenpulstaktung]

DSC TB is asynchronous too.

[@thiagoknows3504]

that’s a very nice video!

Meanwhile, nobody can figure out why they made the riverline diesel!
They use the exact same bell tone though!

[@JC-bl9bo]

What the heck is that door being open to the loco about? That seems a tad dangerous. Great video though!

[@ataraxiaz]

theres no door to close it, so theres just a pole in-between

[@JC-bl9bo]

@@ataraxiaz seems like a daring crazy young fella would take the opportunity to climb out on top of the loco.
