Yes.There are 6 positions. OFF, RUN down, NOTCH down, HOLD, NOTCH up and RUN up. At low speed you would use the individual notch up to add power then at higher speed use RUN up (or down) to control the power.

What's a tap changer?
@ChangesOneTim3 жыл бұрын
@@theblacktrainboy373 The tapchanger draws current from (or indeed 'taps into') the main transformer for the traction motors. It's basically a widget consisting of electrical contacts of differing voltages operated by a camshaft mechanism. On these locos there are 38 taps. The tapchanger is manually controlled directly from the driver's desk where, by to-and-fro of the master controller, he does all the 'notching' to increase/ decrease/cut voltage in steps as required. Tapchangers are ancient history now. All locos built since the 1980s have automatic 'stepless' control using new-fangled stuff called electronics(!)

As a former UK railwayman with noise induced hearing loss I'm curious to understand what noise levels a driver would be exposed to in an 87. Listening even in this video gives the impression that it is loud and a driver has no hiding place to get away from it. The AC locos sounded great when those fans whirred up but at what price?

It's the power controller. Used to run up or down the tapchanger, a device that varies the power output from the main transformer to the traction motors.
