TROUBLE SHOOTING DIRECTORYPUBLISHED BY EMU CARSHED - TIKIAPARA SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY EDITION - 2015 SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY V. K. AGGARWAL Chief Electrical Engineer. Garden Reach, Kolkata – 43. Dear Railway men, EMU services were introduced on S.E.Railway since 1.05.1968. EMU Car Shed, Tikiapara is the pioneering car shed on S.E.Railway having vast and varied experience in various facets of maintenance of EMU coaches. The car shed has acquired deep insight into the diagnosis of the defects of various sub – assemblies & components of the EMU and their trouble shooting in a systematic manner. The EMU services were hitherto confined to Howrah – Kharagpur – Midnapur, Panskura – Haldia, Panskura – Digha , Santragachi – Shalimar and Santragachi – Amta sections of Khargpur Division .With the introduction of MEMU services, there has been a compelling need to encompass the trouble shooting experiences treasured by the Tikiapara Car Shed in a lucid manner so that the motorman and supervisors involved in running and maintenance of EMU/MEMUs are exposed to the whole gamut of trouble shooting in a structured manner. Picking up abnormal signs correctly in case of trouble experienced on line and proceeding in a systematic manner as outlined in the directory is imperative to avoid repercussions on traffic and loss of punctuality of the sensitive services. The defects have been arranged according to their probability of occurrence and a step – by- step procedure has been prescribed. The TSD is Motorman – friendly. Due care has been taken to indicate the terminology commonly used by the Motormen. The TSD which is culmination of efforts of a team of experienced supervisors of Tikiapara Car shed catalogues rudimentary technical details and other salient features as well. Relevant details and sketches have been juxtaposed with the associated texts to avoid cross – references to the extent possible. Entry of the defects and abnormalities experienced online in the log book offers important clue to the maintenance personnel to zero in on the root cause of the defects .As such detailed account of such observations and corrective action taken must be entered in the log book to facilitate quick diagnosis & rectification of the defects by the shed. The TSD has been revised and updated with latest developments in EMU/MEMU pertaining to introduction of Air Suspension & Parking brakes. I am confident that the concise and structured TSD will become an unfailing companion of the Motormen and hone their knowledge and skill in quick trouble shooting of the defects experienced during operation of the EMU/MEMUS. Wishing you happy, punctual and safe journeys. Date:- 06.01.2015 V. K. AGGARWAL Chief Electrical Engineer. CHECK BRAKE POWER OF TRAIN AT FIRST OPPORTUNITY.

(63) PARKING BRAKES SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF EP/PARKING BRAKE IN MOTOR COACH – EMU/MEMU. MODIFIED PARKING ARRANGMENT PARKING BRAKE ARRANGEMENT IN AIR SUSPENSION RAKE . (64) PARKING BRAKE IN EMU AND MEMU This system of brake is provided in all the MEMU motor coaches and EMU motor coaches provided with air spring in secondary suspension. Parking brake is applied while the rake is stabled and thus to prevent rolling. Hence parking brake is a substitute of hand brake. Four numbers of parking brake cylinders have been provided in each motor coach adjacent to wheel number 1, 3, 5 and 7. These cylinders are mechanically coupled with existing brake cylinders' piston through lever arrangement. Function of parking brake cylinder is just opposite to the normal brake cylinder. When the air pressure is applied to parking brake cylinder, the brake gets released and when there is no pressure in the parking brake cylinder the brake is applied by the spring action. The spring is provided inside the parking brake cylinder. Working of the cylinder is being controlled by a magnet valve provided in MR pipe line and is located in driving cab. The magnet valve is energized through a switch in BL box in driving cab. During running condition the switch will remain in 'ON' position and thus air will be supplied to the parking brake cylinder through a limiting valve (known as parking brake limiting valve set at 5 2 kg/cm and is provided in driving cab) and parking brake will be in released condition. In stable condition, the parking brake switch is to be put 'off' and thus brake will be applied. A governor is provided on parking brake cylinder line. This governor has two interlocks-one N/O contact connected in motor contactor control circuit and one N/C contact provided for indication of parking brake application in driver's LED indication panel. When parking brake is applied, there is no air in the parking brake cylinder. Then N/O contact of the governor will be opened causing non-closing of motor contactor and at the same time parking brake application indication will glow through its N/C interlock. During release of parking brake air will be available in parking brake cylinder line. This will cause closing of N/O contact resulting in closing of motor contactor and opening of N/C contact to extinguish the parking brake application indication. A bypass switch is connected in parallel with parking brake governor, so that in case of non-functioning of governor, the switch is to be put 'ON' to bypass the governor. A manual release device (release handle) is provided in the system to uncouple the parking brake manually if required. A bypass isolating cock is provided in parallel to parking brake magnet valve and is normally kept isolated. In case of failure of magnet valve, this cock is to be made normal to supply air to the parking brake cylinder bypassing the magnet valve. During shunting work in dead condition of motor coach, it is required to release the parking brake. So the release handle is to be operated to uncouple the parking brake lever which is coupled with the brake cylinder piston. Conditions warranting for mechanical release of Parking Brake. 1. Parking brake not released by putting PB switch in 'on' position due to any electrical fault or defect in magnet valve. 2. Non-availability of MR pressure. 3. Disconnection of 'A' or 'B' jumper in MEMU and 'E” jumper in EMU motor coaches provided with air spring in secondary suspension (parking brake in rear M/C to be released manually). 4. For movement of loose M/C in dead condition. 5. Any mechanical fault in the system. (65) Instructions for Motormen for mechanical release of parking brake on line due to any of the reasons mentioned above. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Provide skid, release EP & Auto brake. Keep the parking brake switch 'on' in BL box. Ensure parking brake MCB in driving desk is 'on'. Isolate parking brake isolating cock in affected M/C. Manually release the parking brake on wheel no. 1,3,5,7 in affected M/C & ensure brake blocks are released from wheels. 6. Put the parking brake governor bypass switch 'on' in affected M/C. Note: In case of manual release of parking brake, 'parking brake on' LED indication in driver's desk will remain glowing. Improved version of Parking brake In improved version (modified arrangement) of parking brake system, if there is a pressure drop in MR, PB system will not be affected as there is a 3/2 way selector valve & this valve will not allow the PB cylinder to exhaust until PB application valve is operated. Also there is a 9 ltr. capacity auxiliary reservoir which will keep the PB released in case of MR pressure drop. In case this air reservoir also gets exhausted then only PB are to be released manually by manual release mechanism. In modified system electrical failure will not cause PB application or release because unlike earlier the present magnet valves used are energize to apply & energize to release (two separate 3/2 way magnet valves are provided). In modified arrangement air will always be in PB system for keeping the PB in released condition. But if this air also leaks out then manual release mechanism has to be operated. This will happen in case of extreme emergency only. A current pulse has to be given to the release magnet valve, which will shift the spool in the selector valve so the air supply from MR is connected to the PB cylinder to release. Similarly for application of PB the application magnet valve is to be made energized. This will shift the spool in the selector valve so the air in PB cylinder will be connected to atmosphere through exhaust port & PB will be applied. The magnet valves are not always energized. There is an electrical signal in the driver's cab. Whenever there is a pressure drop in the PB system due to bursting of air pipe or any air leakage & PB gets applied this indication will glow in driver's desk. At the 2 same time there will be traction cut through the pressure switch (set at cut in 3Kg./cm & cut out 2 Kg./ 2 cm ) provided in PB circuit. A separate MCB is provided in PB circuit. In modified arrangement PB application is independent of power failure as it has energized to apply & energize to release type magnet valves. In case of disconnection of 'A' jumper PB is to be released manually in rear M/coaches. Mechanical arrangement is same as in earlier PB system. Quality of manual locking/ release mechanism has been improved. (66) 3. DIFFERENT ISOLATING COCK The isolating cock are provided in the different areas of pneumatic pipe lines to facilitate the isolation of a particular circuit or equipment whenever required. When the handle of the isolating cock is parallel to the pipe line it indicates the cock is opened to air supply & when 0 the handle is at 90 , the cock is closed to air supply. Various isolating cock are: i) CIC – Compressor isolating cock to stop air supply from the main compressor. ii) BIC – Bogie isolating cock to stop air supply to the brake cylinder of a particular bogie. Each bogie is having an individual isolating cock. iii) EPIC – EP unit isolating cock to stop air supply to the EP unit of a particular coach. iv) ICA – Isolating cock for auto brake to isolate auto brake of a particular coach. v) MR Isolating Cock – Provided at both end of each coach for cut out MR pressure supply to a particular coach whenever required. vi) BP Isolating Cock – Provided at both end of each coach for cut out BP pressure supply to a particular coach whenever required. vii) Horn Isolating Cock – Provided in driving cab to stop air supply to the horn circuit. viii) Dead-man Isolating Cock - To stop air supply to the dead-man valve & is provided on BP pipe line below driving cab. ix) Isolating Cock for Control circuit - To stop air supply to the pneumatic control circuit of tap-changer and switch group & is provided in HT compartment. Generally this cock is known as control cock. x) Panto Isolating cock - To stop air supply to the Panto circuit. xi) Air dryer isolating cock – To stop air supply to the air dryer in case of air leakage/non- functioning of air dryer. There are three cock viz. 'A', 'B' & 'C'. In normal condition, cock 'A' & 'B' are to be kept open and cock 'C' will remain closed. In case of isolation of air dryer, cock 'C' is to be made open and cock 'A' & 'B' are to be made isolated. xii) Parking brake isolating cock with vent hole (located in driving cab/LT compartment where parking brake is provided) - To stop air supply to the parking brake and release the air from parking brake cylinder. Thus parking brake needs to be uncoupled mechanically when parking brake is isolated since parking brake gets applied when there is no air in the parking brake cylinder. In new EMU rakes parking brake isolating cock is provided in each bogie. xiii) Parking brake magnet valve by-pass cock (where parking brake is provided) Normally the cock will remain in isolated condition. In case of failure of parking brake magnet valve, the cock is to be made open so that MR pressure will directly go to the parking brake cylinder by-passing the magnet valve. The cock is located in LT compartment/driving cab. In modified parking brake arrangement, Rotex make magnet valve is provided which is having two push button, application & release. Therefore by-pass arrangement is not required in the coaches provided with modified parking brake arrangement. Following isolating cock are provided in newly supplied coaches provided with air spring: i) Air spring isolating cock (ASIC) – To stop air supply to the Air spring in entire coach. ii) Air Spring bogie isolating cock (ASBIC)- To stop air supply to the Air spring in each bogie.
