ELECTRIC LOCO TRAINING CENTRE.

The present edition of TROUBLESHOOTING Directory is prepared in such a wayto make it user-friendly and also to educate the user, on theoretical background ofproblems and solutions. On opening the first page itself the user will know what torefer, to overcome the problem encountered by him. To minimize the time to reachrelevant Chapter/page, the facility of Index Cutting is provided. The explanatorynotes along with the appropriate circuits are given on the left side of theproblems/failures discussed on the right side. This is done so as to educate theDriver on the theoretical background of problems and solutions there off. Though,the TROUBLESHOOTING DIRECTORY is referred by the LOCO PILOTgenerally in case of failure only, the explanatory notes given can be gone through bythe driver in his spare time. Over a period of time, this will enable the LOCOPILOT to become sufficiently familiar with the theoretical aspect of a failure,making him competent to troubleshoot the failure without having to referTROUBLE SHOOTING DIRECTORY at the instant of the failure.

The air brake system is being introduced both in coaching and freight stockon large scale. The problems/failures connected with air brake system are dealt withexclusively and in detail. In addition to the TROUBLESHOOTING, this bookconsists of Operating Instructions and Operation of Multiple Units,problems/failures regarding air brake trains and other instructions.

We sincerely hope that the LOCO PILOTS community will make the best use of theend product of the efforts put in by all of us.

STANDARD INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCO PILOT AND LC.

1. During trouble shooting in block section, utmost care should be taken to trouble shootthe fault, and resume traction within 20 minutes. If unsuccessful LC/TPC control is tobe informed, for assistance. All efforts should be made to minimize and curtaildetentions in block section.

2. In MU/Consist, if one of the loco fails, try to clear block section, with good loco orgood locos without wasting time for trouble shooting.

3. In case of trouble shooting in MU/Consist locos, the abnormal sign should always bepicked up from leading loco. There after all the observations and interventions shall bemade on the loco which is defective.

4. When ever HOBA is placed in OFF position during trouble shooting in one of the locoin MU/Consist, HOBA of other locos also to be kept in OFF position.

5. While wedging contactors or relays ensure that the auxiliary contacts are fully operatedand contactors do not chatter after wedging.

6. LC should be informed at the normal stoppage regarding wedging of relays/contactors.

a) FOR WEDGING CONTACTORS – Take Complete Safety measures.If C105, C106 & C107 are wedged; Q118 isto be manually operated for closing DJ.After isolating any auxiliary motor throughrotating switch, ensure its correspondingcontactor is properly opened.

b) FOR WEDGING RELAYS - First switch off battery.If relay Q118 is wedged – block sectionmay be cleared observing working of allAuxiliaries.

7.a) During trouble shooting if MPH is isolated, the train can be worked up to thedestination provided MVRH is working normally and there is no appreciable rise in theoil level in the transformer gauge.

The following current rating to be observed.

Starting: 920 amps for 10 minutes.Continuous: 500 amps.

Page 6: TROUBLE SHOOTING DIRECTORY FOR AC …...When ever HOBA is placed in OFF position during trouble shooting in one of the loco in MU/Consist, HOBA of other locos also to be kept in OFF

The loco should be withdrawn in a planned manner by the LC.

b) In case MVRH is isolated – Put HC105 on ‘0’,if HC105 is not provided Wedge Q118,clear block section with the following current rating.

Starting: 920 amps for 10 minutes.Continuous 500 amps.

c) In case MVSL is isolated – Clear block section with the current rating of 500 Amps.

8. During trouble shooting if HOBA/HQOP is kept OFF or HQOA is on 0, a frequentwatch should be kept for any smoke emission from power equipments i.e. RSI blocks,TMs, BA panel and auxiliaries etc. as the case may be. LC should be informed beforestarting the train. LC should withdraw the loco with HQOP/HOBA in off or HQOA on 0in a planned manner and direct the loco to the nearest shed for attention.

9. Whenever any equipment (including TM)/relay are isolated on a locomotive, loco pilotmust record in the loco log book and inform LC at the first available opportunity.LC mustensure planned withdrawal of the loco from service.

10. Driver must record all cases of on line loco troubles/other unusual occurrences/ wheelslipping, clearly mentioning the time loss in block section/station, time and place ofoccurrence as well as information given to LC.11. Whenever HPAR is placed in “0” position during trouble shooting in one of the locoin MU/Consist, HPAR of other locos also to be kept in “0” position.

12. Check availability/working of following safety equipments.

1. Flasher light/Marker light/Head light.2. Portable telephone/Fire extinguisher/detonators/wooden wedge etc..

2. In MU/Consist operation while working with EEC, Whenever the GR isbrought to 'O' by BPR — bring MP to 'O'. Before progressing — put MPagain On 'N'3. After wedging a relay observe safety precautions as mentioned in pageno.

Precautions on RELAY wedging

When relay Q-50 is wedged:

1. Ensure the correct setting of J-1 and J-2as per the direction and CTF 1-2-3 ontraction side (↑), C-145 fully opened position before wedging Q-50.

2. Do not operate MPJ till the train reaches the relief point.

3. When DJ is tripped on notches keep MP on '0' for GR to regress to '0'.

When relay Q-51 is wedged (or HPAR on ‘0’):1. Relay Q-51 should be wedged in de-energised position.

2. Wedge should be inserted between pallet and core.

3. Auto regression will not take place during wheel slip or QD or Q20 action

takes place or when relay QRS de-energised.

4. Operate sanders o avoid wheel slip. Observe LSP and ammeters for wheel slipindication.

5. Observe BP pressure and vacuum level, to avoid QRS de-energised

6. Check the relay for any over heating. If the relay is over heated, trip DJ, remove thewedge and contact TLC for advice.

When QRS Relay is wedged:

1. Watch and ensure BP pressure and vacuum is adequate and the train is runningsafely.

2. Whenever the train is parted, immediately keep MP on '0' and bring GR to 0 '0'.

3. When RS is opened and A-9 is brought to emergency, keep MP on '0'.

When Q 100 Relay is wedged:

1. Before opening DJ, open all auxiliary switches,

2. After closing DJ, close one by one auxiliary switches with a time gap of 5 seconds

Page 44: TROUBLE SHOOTING DIRECTORY FOR AC …...When ever HOBA is placed in OFF position during trouble shooting in one of the loco in MU/Consist, HOBA of other locos also to be kept in OFF

44

to avoid overload on ARNO.

3. If DJ trips then before closing DJ, bring MP to ‘0’,MPJ to ‘0’ and put HBA ‘OFF’then energise the LOCO as per procedure, otherwise ICDJ will experienced.

When Q 118 Relay is wedged or HOBA is kept in OFF position:

1. Check the working of all auxiliaries frequently whose interlocks are provided in Q118branches. i.e., MVRH, MVMT1, MVMT2, MPH, MVSL1, MVSL2.

2. If any auxiliary does not work (or smoke emission found), then open DJ and lower pantoimmediately and take precautionary measures.

When Q 45 Relay is wedged:

1. Against regular practice on Neutral Section before arriving “close DJ” board do not close

BLDJ.

2. Frequently check the working of MVSI1, MVSI2.

3. Bring MP to ‘O’ and open DJ if found LOW/NO tension on line, so frequently watch ‘UA’

in driving desk.

4. Observe smoke emission from Q30 and RQ30

5. Observe OHE voltage on UA.

When No-tension on line remains for a long time, then remove the wedge of Q45 to avoidchattering sound of Q44, Q118.Precautions after wedging QSVM.

1. BLVMT should be switched on before closing DJ.

2. BLCP should be switched on after 5 seconds of SIV rams up full voltage. (SIV ON LED

glows or LSCHBA extinguishes)

Precautions after wedging QTD101.BLCP/BLCPD should be switched on after 5 seconds of SIV rams up full voltage. (SIV ON LEDglows or LSCHBA extinguishes)

Display of fault code:It has been observed that the fault codes of different makes of the

SIVs do not match with each other. Even for the same type of faults the displayed faultcodes are different. Due to different acronyms used by different manufacturers,maintenance staff finds it difficult to troubleshoot. It is therefore decided to make thefault codes displayed in the text form, which is self explanatory as well as easilyunderstandable by the maintenance and operating staff.

In event of a fault occurring in theSIV, the same will be displayed in plain text limited to 20 characters. The fault occurringon the SIV shall be categorized in the following fashion so as to make it understandableto the operating and maintenance staff irrespective of the make of the SIV.

SN Fault displayed as Remark

1. Input fuse Failure In case the input fuse is blown due to high currentdrawn.

2. Input voltage high Input voltage Exceeding upper limit.

3. Input voltage drop low Input voltage drop Below limit

4. DC Link current High Excess current following in the DC bus

seconds of delay,the SIV will start again and take complete 8 seconds time to fullvoltage.

In this condition,if loco pilot takes notches beyond 5th notch,the DJ of trailingloco will trip as the air flow relay of QVMT-1 or QVMT-2 or QVRH are not pickedup.The loco pilot shall be counseled to start taking notches only after extinguishing ofthe LSCHBA indication .

(ii) SIV loco leading and ARNO loco trailingThe instruction to loco pilot for SIV loco ,before closing DJ BLVMT switchshould be ‘ON’ for soft start.In this condition ,when DJ closes the SIV locoblower motor starts with soft start mode and ARNO loco’s blower I;e MVRH,MVMT-1 &MVMT-2 will start after closing Q100 relay.

While working MU locos locopilots shall be advised:-(i) To release the BLRDJ switch as per the practice being followed in the

case of ARNO fitted locomotives,irrespective of one or other locomotiveis fitted wih ARNO or SIV.

(ii) To start taking notches only after extinguishing of the LSCHBA indicationto ensure that loco with SIV does not trip through air flow relays.

ICDJ:

1. Check Add. CCBA, CCBA, CCPT & CCCPU. If any fuse melts, renew the same. If again fuse

melts, keep HOBA in OFF and renew the fuse.

2. Ensure MR/RS pressure is above 8Kg/cm2.

3. Check safety relay target, if any relay energized, act according to TSD.

4. Ensure BA voltage is above 90 Volts.

5. Ensure GR on ‘0’

6. Try to close DJ with BP2DJ.

7. Keep HQOP 1 in OFF, HQOP 2 in OFF, and HOBA in OFF and try.

8. Try from rear cab.

9. Keep HBA on ‘0’, wait for 3 minutes and try to energise the locomotive.

10. In ARNO provided locos check C118 contactor closing or not.

TLTE:

1. If LSB glowing ensure J1, J2 and CTFs are in proper position.

2. Ensure SMGR pressure is between 2.5 to 3.5Kg/cm 2.

3. Ensure RGEB 2 COC is in open condition.

4. Try with EEC operation.

5. Try from rear cab.

6. Keep HOBA in OFF and try.

Try to clear the section by manual operation of GR.At times, the fault diagnostic systems

are giving erratic information leading to wrong guidance since they are not stabilized fully.

Hence Loco Pilots should follow the normal procedure of troubleshooting.
