Pioneering Performance for the SD70MAC: DPG Enhances Reliability

Jake Dahle Avatar

At Dayton-Phoenix Group, we’re committed to providing innovative solutions that increase performance and reduce maintenance costs for Class 1 railroads and industry leaders. Our latest advancement for the SD70MAC allows operators to disconnect the blower from the driveshaft and replace it with a robust electric motor, reducing mechanical strain and improving system durability. This setup also integrates seamlessly with a battery charger system, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

This solution features:

  • Single-speed motor design for simplified installation, avoiding complex control modifications.
  • Reduced in-rush current (under 900 amps) to mitigate power spikes, enhancing reliability and component longevity.
  • Optimized motor rating at 90 HP with an RPM of 2600, aligning closely with original specifications while using existing infrastructure like the AUX GEN stand and blower wheel.

Railroads using this solution are already seeing significant improvements, as it helps prevent costly engine failures due to blower issues—at a fraction of the repair cost.

Let Dayton-Phoenix Group help your team reduce downtime, cut expenses, and boost reliability across every haul.
