Purpose and procedure for mounting the model

The model is intended for studying the electrical equipment and systems mounted in the tank hull, their arrangement, and mastering the technique of mounting and dismantling works to be conducted.

The model design makes it possible to study the design, principle of operation and arrangement of general electrical equipment in the tank, as well as its systems and separate assemblies which use power supply.

Main specifications:

Model configuration

The model (Fig. 1) comprises tank hull simulator 19 with turret simulator 4 mounted thereon, as well as control board 12 and generator unit 11 being mounted on a separate plate.

The hull and turret includes the following equipment mounted at their standard positions:

• hull with built-in electrical equipment 16;
• intercom and switching equipment 18;
• driver's seat 20;
• driver's hatch 3;
• driver's vision devices 2;
• mock-up 1 of vision devices cleaning system;
• NBC system 5 including the mock-up 17 of fire fighting equipment;
• mock-up 7 for oil injection and autonomous flame heating system;
• mock-up 9 of fuel supply system;
• mock-up 10 of smoke starting system;
• mock-up 13 of the engine;
• mock-up 8 of power assembly;
• mock-up 15 of heating system;
• mock-up 21 of air inlet system;
• mock-up 6 of air intake pipe;
• rear plate pump 14;
• reduction gears 22 with speedometer and tachometer sensors.

The generator unit comprises asynchronous AC electric motor and standard generator. Electrical equipment in the hull, intercom and switching equipment and NBC system are in the working state. The other units and assemblies are non-working simulators of the systems.
