BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCO:
The WAG-9 &9H is a high-speed main line locomotive for hauling FREIGHT trains
and WAP-7 is a high-speed main line locomotive for hauling PASSENGER trains.
This locomotive is a double-ended design, which means that there are a drivers cab
and coupling elements at both ends of the loco.
2.1
Mechanical Features:
The three axles, three motor Co-Co bogie assemblies, is one of the major parts of
the locomotive. Two bogie assemblies support the entire weight of the locomotive
and provide a means for transmission of the tractive effort to the rails.
The bogies are designed to withstand the stresses and vibrations resulting from
normal rolling stock applications. An important function of the bogie is to absorb and
isolate shock caused by variations in the trackbed. The suspension systems
minimize the transmission of these shocks to the locomotive under frame.
The traction motors are suspended in the bogie frame and on the individual axis.
The motors transmit their energy to the driving axles through a gearbox mounted on
the driving axle. The force from the driving axles is transmitted to the contact point
between the wheel tread and the rail. Traction force is, in turn, transmitted through
the axle journal boxes and guide rods to the bogie frame. The push-pull link rod,
connected between the bogie transom and car under frame, transmits the tractive
forces to the car body.
The WAG-9/9H is equipped with the following pneumatic braking systems: automatic
train brake, direct loco brake, parking brake, and anti-spin brake. As with the tractive
effort, braking effort is transmitted to the bogie frame by the axle journal boxes and
guide rods and from the bogie frame to the locomotive by the traction rods.
Isolation and absorption of shock loads and vibration is performed by the primary
and secondary suspension. Movement between the car body and bogie is smoothly
controlled by the primary and secondary suspension. Although the springs permit
free movement in any direction, lateral buffers and dampers limit the amount and
rate of lateral movement. Rebound limit chains and vertical dampers limit the
amount and rate of the vertical rebound of the locomotive car body. Yaw
(longitudinal) dampers control the car body pitch rate. Guide rods control the fore
and aft movement between the axles and the bogie frame, while the link rod controls
the fore and aft movement between the bogies and the locomotive car body.
Chap. 2, Page - 1
INDIAN RAILWAYS
The primary suspension, located between the axles and the bogie frame, is provided
by twin coil springs on the axle journal box fore and aft of the axle line. Vertical
hydraulic dampers are used to dampen the rebound rate of the springs. This Flexi
coil arrangement permits lateral movement of the axle. Longitudinal control of the
axle, and the transmission of tractive and braking effort to the bogie frame, is
provided by guide rods connected between the axle journal boxes and bogie frame.
Spheribloc rubber bushes in the guide rods allow the axle lateral movement without
undue restriction.
Secondary suspension is also provided by coil springs and vertical hydraulic
dampers, located between the bogie frame and the locomotive under frame on each
side of the bogie. The weight of the locomotive car body is carried by the secondary
suspension springs. The Flexi-Float arrangement of the secondary suspension
allows the locomotive car body to move both laterally and vertically within certain
limits relative to the bogies.
2.2
Electrical Features:
Vehicle propulsion concept:
3-phase converter drive.

-
Main transformer
The main transformer is housed in an aluminium tank. It is mounted underframe

between the two bogies.
-
Traction Converter
The machine room contains one traction converter per bogie with 2-point switching.
This comprises a line converter (NSR) and a 3-phase drive converter (ASR).
The traction motors are supplied with power directly by two relevant bogie selective
drive converters with appropriate control electronics.
Axle drive
Three externally ventilated three-phase asynchronous squirrel cage motors of Type

6 FRA 6068 are installed on both bogies. The three traction motors on each bogie
are supplied with power by one traction converter.
Chap. 2, Page - 2
INDIAN RAILWAYS
Harmonic Filter
The harmonic filter consisting of resistor and capacitor reduces the high frequency
harmonics.
-
Auxiliary Circuits
Three modular auxiliary converters (BUR) are used to supply power to the 3-phase
auxiliary circuit motors. The auxiliary circuits are designed in a bogie-selective
manner.
-
Control electronics (MICAS-S2)
All functions of the locomotive are controlled by the control electronics. It takes the
form of bus stations with processors.
The bus stations communicate with each other via fibre optic cables which are
resistant to the effects of Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). The diagnostic
equipment comprises a diagnosis computer with monitor and keyboard in the
drivers cab. This provides an effective support for the duties of the locomotive driver
and maintenance personnel.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3.1
System Description
The following brake systems are present on this locomotive.

- Regenerative brake (controlled by angle transmitter)
- Pneumatic automatic train brake (controlled by pneumatic automatic brake
handle)
- Direct loco brake (controlled by direct loco brake handle)
- Parking brake (controlled by parking brake push button, not for WAP-7)
- Anti-spin brake (controlled by SLG, FG90)
- Emergency brake (controlled by emergency brake valve)
Its released by following brake requests:
- Emergency brake vigilance
- Emergency stop push button cab1, cab 2
- Emergency brake cock cab 1, cab 2
- Emergency brake in case of over speed from SPEEDOMETER.
- Emergency brake if brake electronic fails
- Emergency brake sensed by pressure switch
Note:
If regenerative brake fails, pneumatic brake effort on loco can be controlled by
angle transmitter, except processor HBB2 or FLG2 fails.
3.1.1 Regenerative Brake
The regenerative brake is an electrical brake system.
Braking effort is generated by using the drive motors as generators, with energy
being supplied into the overhead Catenary system.
The electric brake is actuated by the TE/BE throttle.

Chap. 3, Page

INDIAN RAILWAYS
Fig. 3.1

System Description
Master Controller:
TE/BE Throttle
If regenerative braking effort exceeds 10 kN, the automatic locomotive brake is

inhibited. If the regenerative brake is not available or if it fails during a braking
operation, the pneumatic locomotive brake automatically takes over its function,
except in the case, when VCB is opened by the spring loaded switch BLDJ.
The full electric braking effort is reduced from 10 km/h to 0 kN at 0 km/h.
Note:
Even if the electrical and pneumatic brakes are activated together due to a fault
in the system, excessive braking of the locomotive is avoided because the antispin/slide control system reduces the electrical braking effort.

is actuated by the brake handle (1). The handle can only be plugged in or
removed in the NEUTRAL position, in conjunction with the locking device.
Note:
If the electronic brake control system fails, a priority 1 fault message appears on
the display and an emergency brake is triggered. A Start/Running Interlock is
initiated whenever:
Brake pipe pressure falls bellow 4.75 kg/cm2 and
the speed of the locomotive exceeds 10 km/h and
there is brake cylinder pressure on the loco as indicated on the
instruments on panel B.

Direct Brake:
The direct brake acts on the brake discs of the locomotive and is only able to
brake the loco. In multiple operations, the direct brake also acts on the slave
locomotive. Due to its direct action it is used whenever careful graduated braking
is required (e.g. shunting).
The brake handle (1) is only active when the drivers cab is activated.
A Start/Running Interlock is initiated whenever speed of the loco is above 10
km/h and there is brake cylinder pressure on the loco indicated on the instrument
on panel B.
Note:
For train operation, the handle has to be set to the release stop, in the fully
clockwise direction
In special situations, e.g. hill start (Starting on gradients), the direct brake can be
applied.

Note:
If there is no air in the pneumatic system, the parking brake applies automatically
by springs. Release of the parking brake is than possible by operating the
individual handles on the bogie frame (not applicable in WAP-7).
Warning
The use of the parking brake release handle outside the loco is strictly forbidden
in normal operation!
For authorized personnel only!
Before shunting or towing the dead locomotive, it must be ensured that the
parking brakes must be released.
Note
If the BL key switch in the main drivers cab is turned OFF, the MCE
automatically applies the parking brake (not for WAP-7).
Warning:
Before switching OFF the BL key, it must be ensured that the locomotive is stand

Note:
The emergency stop button is only active in the activated drivers cab. However,
its function is not dependent on the speed of the locomotive. When the
emergency stop button is pressed, the main circuit breaker opens and the
pantograph is lowered.
Emergency braking is actuated directly in all cases and is not controlled by the
MCE. However, the MCE responds to emergency braking by reducing traction
effort to 0.
If an emergency braking operation is triggered in multiple operations, it is
transferred to the slave locomotive also.

3.3.1 General Description

Due to technical and economical reasons electric traction vehicles are nowadays
provided with three-phase asynchronous traction motors. The three-phase
voltage required for operating the traction motors is generated on the vehicle by
means of the traction converter connected between the vehicles main
transformer (single phase) and the traction motors.
The traction converter allows the train not only to drive but also to brake
electrically. To control the tractive or braking effort, and hence the speed of the
vehicle, both the frequency and the amplitude of the three-phase converter
output voltage are continuously changed according to the demand from the
drivers cab. This allows continuous adjustment of the driving or braking torque of
the traction motors, which means that the driving speed changes smoothly.
When braking electrically the traction motors act as generators. In the converter
the resulting three-phase electrical energy is converted into single-phase energy
which is fed back into the line (recuperation brake).

System Description
3.3.2 Main Transformer

The locomotive is equipped with a main transformer.
The main transformer converts the overhead line voltage (25 kV) to the lower
operating voltages. There are four secondary traction windings (two on each
converter unit, 1269 V), one for feeding the auxiliary circuits (1000 V) and one for
the harmonic filter. The main transformer is installed in an enclosed, oil-tight
aluminum tank together with series resonant choke for traction converter & 3 DC
link chokes for auxiliary converters. This aluminum tank is divided into two
chambers. The larger chamber contains the main transformer; the smaller
chamber accommodates the series resonant chokes at the bottom and the
auxiliary converter chokes above them. The transformer tank is made entirely of
aluminum. This construction saves weight and, above all, exerts a damping effect
on high frequency magnetic fields.

INDIAN RAILWAYS
System Description
The converter unit has the task of converting power between the transformer and
the asynchronous traction motors in such a way that optimum tractive or braking
effort can be generated at any speed.
Due to GTO technology, the line is ideally loaded with a power factor of almost 1.
A 2-point circuit converter unit is installed on each bogie. The line converter
(NSR) converts the constant frequency AC voltage supplied by the transformer
into DC voltage (intermediate link).
The drive converter (ASR) generates a 3-phase system with variable voltage and
frequency. The energy flow is reversed during regenerative braking.
The power elements of the converter unit (line converter, drive converter) are oilcooled.
The power semiconductors and all snubber circuits are installed in the valve set
tank.
The 2-point circuit valve set in simple terms, performs the function of two static
changeover switches in each case.
3.3.3.1
Line Converter (NSR)
The line converter of a bogie comprises two identical valve sets. These connect
the secondary traction windings of the transformer to the DC-Link.
3.3.3.2
DC-Link
The power passing through the line converter and the traction converter is not
equal at every time interval. Compensation of these energy differences is
performed in the intermediate voltage link.
The capacitor bank in the DC-Link maintains DC-Link voltage at a constant level.
To retain control of over voltages in the DC-Link, the DC-Link is equipped with an
over voltage protection unit (MUB). This consists of a resistor and a GTO. In
case of a protective shut-down the GTOs of ASR & NSR are blocked and the
energy stored in the DC-Link is converted into heat in the MUB.

INDIAN RAILWAYS
3.3.3.3
System Description
Drive Converter
The drive converter (ASR) of a bogie comprises two valve sets. These connect
the 2-point intermediate voltage link to the three phases of the traction motors.
On the traction side, it must be possible to set the terminal voltage and the
frequency in an infinitely variable manner. To achieve desired values, the cycle
pattern is generated with three different control principles:
-
ISR (Indirect Self Control) in the lower frequency range.

DSR (Direct Self Control) in the middle frequency range up to motor rated

3.4.1 Auxiliary Circuits

The motors used for the auxiliary circuits are 3-phase squirrel cage motors. The
cost of maintenance is therefore low. The 3-phase power required is supplied by
the auxiliary converter controls (BUR), which in turn receive their power from a
secondary winding on the main transformer.
The following loads are connected to the auxiliary converters:
- Blower for the traction motors
- Blower for oil cooler on converter and transformer
- Scavenge blowers to traction motor blowers and oil cooling blowers
- Oil pumps for converter and transformer
- Compressors
- Battery charger
The auxiliary circuits are controlled as required. The oil cooler blowers run only
when required (BUR1). The control electronics adjust the selected stage of
measured operating temperatures, nominal traction values and speed.
The machine room blowers and the corresponding scavenge blowers are directly
supplied by the auxiliary transformer. Therefore, these blowers are running as
soon as the VCB is closed (independent of MCE).

General
The locomotive is equipped with the following ventilation systems:

56
54
55
53
59
Two scavenge blowers for the machine room blower

Two machine room blowers
Two scavenge blowers for the traction motor blowers and the oil cooling
units
Two traction motor blowers
Two oil cooling units (transformer/converter)
The ventilation of the traction motor and oil circuits is based on a three-stage
design, with ventilation being controlled by the equipment temperatures.
Note:
If one of the on-board converters (BUR) fails the whole load is distributed
between the two remaining BURs. They can continue to supply the auxiliary
circuits, practically without losses and full traction is also available.
The machine room blower and the corresponding scavenge blowers are fed
directly from the auxiliary transformer and therefore operate independently of the
MCE, as soon as the VCB is closed. Therefore the loco can be cooled even if
MCE is not in operation.
The blowers on the traction motor and the oil cooling units are individually
supplied for each bogie by the auxiliary converter (BUR).
However, if two BUR fail, there is no traction available and the power supply to
the auxiliary circuit fails.

System Description
Scavenge Blowers
Each of the three ventilation systems is using a centrifugal filter panel where
contaminated air is removed via a scavenge flow system. The efficiency of the
filter panel is dependent on the removal of contaminants by the scavenge
system, and therefore it is important that the scavenge system meets the
minimum flow rate requirements.

Main Compressors
47
The locomotive is equipped with 2 underframe mounted main

compressors.
3.4.5.2
Operating Modes
The compressors are able to operate in three different operating
modes.
172
These modes can be selected on the spring-loaded switch on main

compressor BLCP, (Panel A).
Pos. Off
Compressors switched off.
Pos. Auto Automatic pressure monitoring.
Pos. Man Compressors switched on (manual monitoring).
3.4.5.2.1
Operating mode OFF
172
Move spring-loaded switch BLCP into position OFF

Both main compressors are switched off.
3.4.5.2.2
Operating mode AUTO

The compressors are monitored by the specified pneumatic switches.
172.2
If the pressure drops below 8 kg/cm2, the Main compressor switch

8 kg/cm2 cuts out. Both units start to run at the same time until a
pressure of 10 kg/cm2 is reached
172.3
If the pressure drops below 8 kg/cm2, the Main compressor switch

8 kg/cm2 cuts out. Both units start to run at the same time until a
pressure of 10 kg/cm2 is reached.
269.4
If the pressure drops below 5.6 kg/cm2, when the Low main
reservoir pressure switch closes, this initiates a Start/Running
Interlock and the message Low pressure, main reservoir appears
on the monitor.
Both compressors start to run until a pressure of 10 kg/cm 2 is
reached.

Chap. 3, Page

INDIAN RAILWAYS
System Description
3.4.5.2.3 Operating mode MAN

172
In this operating mode, the driver moves the BCLB switch into the
position MAN. Both compressors run as long as the VCB is closed and
the switch is set in the position MAN.
Note:
The compressors are not cut out even if the main reservoir pressure
exceeds 10 kg/cm2. The compressors are, however, protected against
over pressure by their safety valves.
3.4.5.3
Auxiliary Compressor
172.4 The auxiliary compressor is used if the prevailing pressure is too low to
raise the pantograph. While the control circuit is switched on, the auxiliary
compressor is controlled by a pneumatic switch independently of the
MCE. If the pressure is low, the auxiliary pressure will start automatically
on switching on the control circuit till the pressure reaches 6.0 kg/cm2.
3.4.5.4 Air dryers
284.5 The air dryer is actuated when at least one of the main compressors is
switched on.

Control circuit
3.5.1 Battery
111
The battery is a NI-Cd accumulator, which consists of 78 cells, which are

connected in series. The nominal capacity is 199 Ah/C5A (C5A means
that the capacity is 199 Ah assuming the battery has discharged in 5 h).
The battery is in two halves, which are located on each side of the
locomotive.
All electrical components in the control current circuit are designed for a
nominal voltage of 110 V DC + 25% / - 30%.

Control Electronics
3.6.1 General
A sequential control checks the operating status and determines the order in
which operations are carried out. It includes nodes (states) which are connected
by transitions. The state of a system or sub-system can thus be simple and
logically controlled. The sequential control can only be in one defined state at any
one time.
The master sequential control (MSC) defines the current state of the locomotive
with the aid of a node number. The node number is the central reference for all
the system processors and is therefore decisive for maintaining the proper
locomotive operating procedures. The MSC also performs various protection
functions, e.g. the main circuit-breaker can only be closed after the MSC has
reached the corresponding node or state.

Chap. 3, Page
- 32
INDIAN RAILWAYS
System Description
A sub-sequential control defines the current state of a processor with the aid of a
node number. It is generally controlled by the MSC.
The most important functions are duplicated to enable the locomotive to remain
in operation in spite of the failure of a sub-system
3.6.2 Bus Concept
The remote arrangement of computers for the control electronics means that not
much wiring is required for the control signals.
Information is recorded as closely as possible to their sources and the actuating
members are piloted by the nearest computer.

3.10 Protection Concept

3.10.1 General
The protection concept is based on the following two main principles:
1.
2.
Prevention of dangerous situations

Prevention of damage
There are passive and active forms of protection:

Passive protection is defined as preventive measures such as
-
Contact protection
Earthing
Adequate dimensions
Over voltage surge arrestor.
Initiation of protective measures in dangerous situations means active protection
Active protection
Most measures are controlled by the MCE. For this purpose, the MCE monitors a
range of values such as voltages, currents, temperatures, pressures and other
signals.
In addition
-
earthing switches
circuit breakers
fuses
are used for active protection.

3.10.2 Interlocking Concept (for Maintenance / Repair)
To prevent high voltage reaching the locomotive while high voltage components
are accessible, the locomotive is equipped with a lock and key based interlocking
system. This operates with different coloured keys and starts in the following
manner:
Key A (light blue) and B (yellow)

Chap. 3, Page
- 40
INDIAN RAILWAYS
System Description
By locking the pantograph valve at Pneumatic Panel (PP), key A becomes free.
Key A unlocks the earthing switch on the main circuit breaker. If this is moved
into earthing position, the locomotive is earthed and both B keys become free.
Key B is used to unlock the key multiplier No. 1 for key C. Key multiplier No. 1 is
located in the machine room behind the cab.
Note:
The second B key (yellow) can be kept in the custody of a responsible supervisor
for additional safety.
The seven C keys (green) are used for:
-
Opening the auxiliary circuit block 1

Opening the auxiliary circuit block 2
Opening the auxiliary converter 1
Opening the auxiliary converter 2
Opening the filter block
Unlocking the earthing switch on traction converter 1
Unlocking the earthing switch on traction converter 2
By actuating the earthing switch on the traction converter, one D key (black)
becomes free in each case. With both D keys together, the key multiplied No. 2
for key E (white) is unlocked. Key multiplier No. 2 is located in the machine room
behind the cab.
With the 6 E keys, the following doors can be opened:
1004.6

3.10.6 Line Converter

The protection of the converter is based on four measures:
1.
An over voltage chopper in the DC-Link with over voltage protection
(MUB).The MUB is controlled by the ALG and protects the DC-Link from over
voltage, When a protective shutdown occurs, the DC-Link is rapidly discharged
by the MUB. The ALG monitors the temperature of the MUB. Excess temperature
in the MUB leads to a protective shut down. The maximum permitted
temperature has been selected to allow a protective shut down to occur without
endangering the MUB.

Battery
1.
The control circuits are switched off when the drivers cab is activated and
none of the pantographs is raised for more than 10 minutes (this does not
apply during simulation mode).
2.
If the output current of the battery charger drops below 10 A, a fault

message with priority 2 appears on the display in the drivers cab.
3.
If battery voltage drops below 92 V for more than 30 seconds, a fault

message/ warning with priority 2 appears on the display in the drivers
cab.
4.
If battery voltage drops below 86 V, an interlock ensures correct switch-off

procedure. A priority 1 fault message appears on the display in the drivers
cab.
5.
If battery voltage drops below 82 V, then loco will be shut down and all
control circuits shall be switched off under all operating conditions.
3.10.11
Control Electronics
3.10.11.1
Reciprocal Monitoring of the Processors
All processors linked to the vehicle bus transmit a monitoring signal to the master
vehicle control unit (FLG 1 or 2, i.e. to the Master processor).
A failure of a processor or of the link via the vehicle bus is detected by the FLG
because it is unable to receive the corresponding monitoring signal. When this
occurs, the VCB is switched off. In a similar manner, the FLG transmits a
monitoring signal to all other bus stations. Failure of the FLG processor or of the
link via the vehicle bus is detected by the bus stations because they were unable
to receive the corresponding monitoring signal.
If the monitoring signal fails only briefly, the protective function trips the VCB.
If it fails for longer than 30 seconds, the affected processor is isolated.
The function of the diagnosis terminal is not monitored by the MCE.

3.10.11.2
System Description
Train bus
The train bus during multiple operation is controlled in a similar manner by

monitoring the corresponding signals between slave and master locomotive and
between master and slave.
If a train bus fault is detected on the master locomotive, the master locomotive
generates a fault message with priority 1, without tripping the VCB.
3.10.11.3
VCB
The correct position of the VCB is monitored by the MCE. The following switch
modes on the auxiliary contacts are recognized.
1.
One N/O contact remains in the OFF position for 1 second after the
command to switch on: Stuck-Off is detected and the command to switch
on is resetted and a priority 1 fault message is generated.
2.
One N/O contact remains in the ON position for 1 second after the switchoff command has been given: Stuck-ON is detected and the command to
switch off is resetted, a priority 1 fault message is generated: LOCO DEAD
Protective Actions:

3.10.11.5
System Description
Software
When the wrong software is loaded (e.g. software for WAP-5 installed on WAG9), a fault message with priority 1 is issued and the pantograph can not be raised
into position. (This is for the knowledge of maintenance/commissioning staff).
3.10.11.6
CEL Temperature
211.1
The CEL temperature is monitored by two thermostats. Excess temperature

- generates a DDS (Diagnostic Data Set). A diagnostic data set (DDS) is
generated whenever a protective action takes place.
- Actuates the indication lamp LSCE and
- Indicates the corresponding fault message on the display.
125
Above 70C control electronics does not switch on. The driver has to move the
cab-activating key to position C (cooling mode). Raise pantograph and close
VCB. This starts the machine room blowers.
166
When the temperature becomes normal the amber indication lamp LSCE
extinguishes. Now the cab-activating key switch can be moved to position D
(driving mode).
Note:
If above message appears during run, do not switch off the CEL.
3.10.11.7
Speed Sensors on Traction Motor
The sensors are monitored by the converter electronics. A defective sensor does
not however disconnect the corresponding bogie.
3.10.11.8
Harmonic Filter Circuit
An earth fault in the harmonic filter circuit is detected. The harmonic filter circuit is
also protected against over current.
3.11 Redundancy

4.4.3.5 Knorrs Computer Controlled Brake (CCB) in WAG-9 Loco:

Cab Set Up:
In the in-operative cab, mode-switch on brake controller should be in TRL (trial)
and Auto/A9 handle locked in FS (Full Service).
In the operative cab, mode-switch should be in LEAD and Auto/A9 handle be
unlocked.
In case of multiple locomotive operations, trailing locomotive both mode switch in
TRL.
In case of banking operation, on banker locomotive, in addition to switching the
ZBAN switch on, the mode switch should be kept in HLPR (helper).
Chap. 4-page- 39
INDIAN RAILWAYS
Vehicle operation
AUTO/A9 Operation:
To charge the BP on first up (i.e. energizing the locomotive) Auto A9 handle
should be moved to FS. After 10 seconds BP will charge to 3 Kg/CM 2. Now
check Parking Brake (PB) pressure gauge. If pressure is zero then BPPB on
drivers desk should be toggled to release the PB. Now check, PB gauge should
show pressure more that 5 Kg/Cm2. Now on moving the Auto handle to RUN
(Running) position, BP would charge to more that 5 kg/cm 2 and BC would reduce
to zero.
For quick release of brake on farthest wagon, automatic BP overecharge of 0.2
kg/cm2 is provided after every brake application (service/emergency). This will
bleed automatically if handle is left in RUN position.
To intimate manual overcharge which overcharge BP by 0.5 kg/cm2, Auto/A9
handle to be held in REL (Release) position for 3-5 seconds.
To release Loco auto brake, PVEF function can also be performed by lifting bailring on Direct Brake/SA9 handle.
To check train BP leakage rate, move mode switch to TEST. For safety this
would apply BC pressure on locomotive only till mode switch is in TEST position.
After test is over move mode switch back to LEAD.
Parking Brake (PB) Operation (not applicable in WAP-7):
For the safety reasons whenever PB is applied, penalty auto brake would also be
applied and BP would be dropped to 3 kg/cm2 and to recover this, first release of
PB by pressing BPPB on drivers desk, move Auto/A9 handle to FS and then
back to RUN. BP would charge to more than 5 kg/cm 2.
PB-PDS (parking Brake Pneumatic Disable Switch) cock on brake panel,
normally is kept Horizontal (open). It is turned to vertical position to cut-off air to
PB cylinders for maintenance purpose or in case PB is defective.
PB-BUS (Parking Brake Back Up Switch) cock on brake panel, normally is kept.
It is used for manual operation on PB. It is turned to vertical position to only in
case of DEAD MODE or PTDC mode to keep PB released to manually apply
PB PB-BUS cock should be turned to Horizontal position.
Recover of Vigilance/Penalty Brake:
Vigilance penalty would results into dropping BP to 3 kg/cm 2 and application of
full BC pressure. To recover vigilance penalty, bring throttle handle (TE/BE) to 0,
wait for 120 seconds after the penalty then, move Auto/A9 handle to FS and
press BPVR on drivers desk. Then move Auto/A9 handle to RUN. BP would
charge to more than 5 kg/cm2. Acknowledge the fault by pressing BPFA. Resume
normal operation.
Chap. 4-page- 40
INDIAN RAILWAYS
Vehicle operation
Recover of Penalty Service Brake:

Penalty service brake would be applied by dropping BP to 3 kg/cm2 if
Both BC1 and BC2 cut out cock on brake panel are closed (isolated) at any time
in LEAD mode.
PB-PDS cock for some reason is in vertical position and BPPB from drivers desk
is operated at any time in LEAD mode.
PB-BUS cock for some reason is in vertical position and BPPB is operated at any
time in LEAD mode.
PB-R-COS cock for some reason is in vertical position and BPPB is operated at
any time in LEAD mode.
To recover this penalty brake, position of respective switch/cock should be set
right and after that move Auto/A9 handle to FS and then back to RUN. BP then
would charge to more than 5 kg/cm2.

4.10 Multiple Operation

4.10.1
Multiple operation with two locomotives
In multiple operation a maximum of two locomotives can be operated. Both must

be directly coupled to one another. They must not be separated by a carriage.
While in motion, the front driver's cab is usually activated.
When linking up or in unusual situations, it is also possible to control the
locomotives from another driver's cab.
The train bus configuration for multiple operation is only possible from the driver's
cab at the uncoupled end. A configuration from a rear driver's cab is referred to
as single-unit traction.
The train bus automatically checks the configuration:
The leading manned locomotive is called the master locomotive and the other
one is called the slave locomotive.
The two locomotives are correctly linked together once the mechanical and
pneumatic systems and the UIC cable have been connected.
Commands are transmitted down the UIC cable.
4.10.1.1
Pantograph
In multiple operation, both the most distant pantographs are raised if "pantograph
selection switches" in both the locomotives are in position "AUTO". The train bus
connections define the free end of each locomotive.
The command from the master locomotive to raise/lower the pantographs also
controls the pantographs on the slave locomotive.
Note:
179
Whenever the simulation key switches on the master and slave

locomotives are not in the same position, the pantographs are not active
(fault message).
Chap. 4-page- 51
INDIAN RAILWAYS
4.10.1.2
Vehicle operation
The command from the master locomotive to switch the main circuit breaker
"ON"/"OFF" also controls the main circuit breaker on the slave locomotive.
The VCB on the slave locomotive is switched on after a delay of 0.5 seconds
following the switch on of the VCB on the master locomotive. When switching off,
there is no delay.
Note:
If the VCB on the slave locomotive cannot be closed due to a fault, an
appropriate fault message appears on the screen.
4.10.1.3
Regenerative Brake
During multiple operation, there is a limitation on the regenerative brake on the

slave locomotive. This limitation reduces forces on the loco buffers (prevention of
derailing).
4.10.1.4
During multiple operation, the constant speed control of the slave locomotive is
inactive. The train bus transmits the selected tractive/braking effort from the
master locomotive to the slave locomotive. The master loco performs speedcontrolling function, demanding TE/BE on master and slave loco.
4.10.1.5
Anti-spin Protection
The anti-spin protection of the slave locomotive is independent of the master

locomotive.
4.10.1.6
Compressor Control
The compressors are able to operate in three different operating modes.

172
Pos. "Off"
Pos. "Auto"
Pos. "Man"
These modes can be selected with the spring-loaded switch

"BLCP", (Panel A).
Compressor switched off.
Automatic pressure monitoring.
Compressor switched on (manual monitoring).
.
Chap. 4-page- 52
INDIAN RAILWAYS
172
Vehicle operation
The selected position of the compressor switch is transmitted to

the slave locomotive.
In the "Man" and "Off" positions, all main compressors in both
locomotives are controlled directly.
In the position "Auto", there are the following options:

172.2
1.
A main reservoir pressure below 8 kg/cm2 on the master or slave
locomotive activates a particular compressor on both
locomotives. Each locomotive switches alternately and
independently between its two compressors.
172.3
2.
A main reservoir pressure below 7.5 kg/cm2 on the master or
slave locomotive activates all compressors on both locomotives
at the same time.
269.4
3.
At a main reservoir pressure below 6.4 kg/cm2, each locomotive
independently controls its compressors.
4.10.1.7
Parking Brake (deleted in WAP-7)
The multiple unit cannot drive if one of the parking brakes is applied.
Note:
268
An activated parking brake on the master or slave locomotive is indicated

in the activated driver's cab of the master locomotive by the red
illuminated push button "BPPB".
4.10.1.8
Emergency Brake
An emergency brake on the slave loco can only be initiated in the following
manner:
1. By actuating the brake handle of the automatic train brake to
"Emergency" position.
2. By actuating the emergency brake cock on the assistant driver's side.
269.1
If the pressure switches 269.1 on the master or slave locomotive

registers actuation of the emergency brake, the ensuing command for
emergency braking applies to both locomotives.
The master for all other emergency braking commands is the master
locomotive in the double (multiple) unit.

163
If a fault message appears on screen, the yellow illuminated push button

"BPFA" lights up. If this is a fault message of priority 1, the red indication
lamp "LSFI" starts flashing at the same time.
If a fault message with priority 1 is displayed, a fault message with
priority 2 is suppressed on the screen.
A fault message with priority 2 remains on the screen until it is
overwritten by a fault message with priority 1 or by a subsequent fault
with priority 2.
5.1.2 Isolating of Sub-systems

A constant priority 1 fault or a priority 2 fault which occurs twice within
one 30 minute period causes the appropriate sub-system to be isolated.
Chap. 5- Page -1
INDIAN RAILWAYS
163
If a sub-system has been isolated, it does not issue any more fault
messages and signals. The screen displays an isolation message and the
red fault indication lamps "LSFI" remains lit continuously.

Warning:
When sub-systems are isolated it is not recommended to reset the fault-status by
switching the locomotive off and on, since this resets the fault counter to zero.
At the end of the journey the driver must inform the maintenance staff to check
and, if necessary, repair the locomotive.

5.1.3 Acknowledgement of Fault Messages

5.1.3.1
Fault Messages with Priority 1
If a priority 1 fault occurs, the fault message must be acknowledged before the
loco can travel further. If the train driver fails to acknowledge, the protection
measures introduced remain in force. The fault is not remedied.
163.1 A fault is acknowledged by pressing the yellow illuminated push button
"BPFA". If a priority 1 fault appears, a sub-system isolation message
appears on the screen. If the train driver now presses the fault
acknowledge push button "BPFA" on the screen, the displayed subsystem is isolated.
Note:
All priority 1 faults are acknowledged simultaneously when the acknowledgement
button is pressed. However, if the train driver first wishes to see which faults
have been reported, he must press the "ENTER" key before acknowledging the
faults. When he does this, all faults are displayed in the following sequence:
Faults in the individual sub-systems of the master locomotive
Faults in the individual sub-systems of the slave locomotive
Chap. 5- Page -3
INDIAN RAILWAYS
Faults
By pressing the "CLEAR" button, the highest priority fault is displayed once
again.
Also, after the last fault message has appeared, the fault with the highest priority
is displayed once again (ring buffer principle).
5.1.3.2
Fault Messages with Priority 2
They are also acknowledged by pressing the illuminated push-button "BPFA".

Even if this acknowledgement is not forthcoming, the locomotive is still able to
operate. The fault message still remains visible on the screen until it is
overwritten by a fault message with priority 1 or by a subsequent fault with
priority 2.
Note:
If a fault message with priority 1 is displayed, any priority 2 fault message present
at the same time is not displayed on the screen.
5.1.3.3
Resetting the status of the Locomotive
Dependent on the degree & frequency of a certain failure of the control

electronics tries to restore or isolate the concerned sub-system.
In case of blocking the train traffic due to isolation of too many sub-systems it
may be helpful to set up the locomotive in original conditions.
To reset the locomotive, the following procedure has to be carried out.
1.
VCB off
2.
Lower the pantograph
3.
BL Key switch to zero position, i.e MCE complete off
4.
Wait one minute
5.
Set up locomotive again as usual

The Concept
HOTEL LOAD:
Power is taken from the OHE through pantograph to the Transformer of

locomotive which is provided with a hotel load winding of 945 kVA, at
nominal voltage of 750 V single-phase.
750 Volts single-phase supply from Hotel Load winding will be fed to
IGBT based Hotel Load Converter, which will give 750 Volts 3-phase 50
Hz supply as output, for feeding the hotel load of the train.
Converter output will be used to at suitable voltage levels using step

down transformers to operate the lights, fans, air conditioning, water
raising apparatus of the coaches and the pantry car equipment.
Rajdhani /Shatabdi rake shall be used for HOG power supply scheme.
Merits
No air or noise pollution which is generated by power cars.
Highest reliability as compared to Self Generation (SG) and End on

Generation (EOG) system due to reduced number of equipments and
devices.
Low maintenance requirement.
Reduced dead weight as compared to SG & EOG system
Possibility of Elimination of under-slung equipments like alternator &

battery in conventional coaches thus enhanced safety.

IGBT Traction Converter based Locomotive
Introduction
In the recent past, all over the world the trend has been to switch over from
conventional DC drives to 3-Phase AC drives based on Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistor (IGBT) technology. At present, the flagship locomotive of Indian
Railways is the 3-phase locomotive. Presently, different variants, viz, WAG9,
WAG9H, WAP7 and WAP5 are running over Indian Railways. The heart of the
locomotive is traction converter which is responsible for conversion of single
phase AC drawn from OHE to 3-phase AC which drives the traction motor. At
present, switching device used in the traction converter is GTO. Considering the
obsolescence of the GTOs, Indian Railways have embarked on their ambitious
plan to migrate from current Gate Turn Off (GTO) based system to IGBT based
traction propulsion system retaining same transformer and traction motors, owing
to the advantages offered by IGBT as a power device. GTO being a thyristor
device need snubber circuits, resulting in high losses. GTOs are sensitive to
failures because of complicated gate drivers. IGBT does not require snubber
circuit (because of di/dt and dv/dt control) and belongs to a power transistor
family, has lesser losses, better control ability, higher performance and reliability.
Along with this, control also is changing to open standard controls Train Control
Network (TCN) confirming to IEC61375.
As the IGBT Traction converter is smaller in size and the liberated space can be
utilized for the installation of future new equipments like Hotel load converter, etc.
The first locomotive equipped with IGBT based traction converter flagged of from
CLW.
The IGBT based traction converter has been installed and commissioned by M/S
BTIL, also BHEL in association with M/s Strukton (Netherland), has developed
the prototype of IGBT based propulsion system for CLW.
Salient Features
The existing GTO based traction converter is a group drive, i.e., all the
traction motors in a bogie are connected in parallel. While, the IGBT based
converter has got single axle drive capability, therefore, in case of any
problem with a particular TM, only that particular TM can be isolated unlike in
the GTO based converter where the whole bogie has to be isolated.
Due to single axle drive it has got better adhesion performance.

Chap. 6.- page - 5
INDIAN RAILWAYS
Latest Up gradation
Because of smaller size of the converter it may be possible to install

additional equipments like hotel load converter in the locomotive.
In order to improve the control of the drive, the active type speed sensors
have been provided which have better resolution by incorporating sensors
which can provide strong signals at 200 pulse per revolution.
This converter has taken full advantage of the advancement in the processor
speed which has paved the way for less number of PCB cards with better
performance at the higher temperatures.
Power loss reduction by approx. 50% in comparison with GTO loco

equipment.
Annual energy saving (considering @ Rs 4.62 / unit) will be approx. Rs. 34

lakhs assuming loco utilization of 85% service per day.
40% reduction in weight and compact in size compared to GTO equipment.
60% reduction in usage of electric cards (only 3 major cards compared to
17), hence increasing the loco reliability.
Sensor less speed control.
Water cooled system thus safer vis--vis oil cooled system.
Better slip / slide controls, because of axle control and modern high speed
digital signal processing algorithm.
Less harmonics because of high switching frequency.
Designed without using any proprietary ASIC.
Configured to open standard controls TCN based network.
Modern design of software using Matlab / Simulink.
