Q

How do we cut in on a comeng?

A
  • open BVICS (BP to charge to 500 kPa)
  • lower Trip
  • BC handle to EMY (BP to 0 kPa to reset trip)

  • BC to step 7 (BP = 550, EP/ RS = 250)
  • insert portable
  • insert TDN into DDU
  • Inspect fault & status panel for fault indicators

A

Compressor

25
Q

What is control res out connected to?

A

Line breaker case
Trip

26
Q

What will happen if you isolate the compressor gov iso cock?

A

Main res is below 500 kPa
LOMV is de energized
BVICS closed

31
Q

What will happen if there is a fault with line breakers ?

A

Local light will illuminate (its equivalent to traction overload)

32
Q

Traction motor cut out switch - what happens when it is operated?

A

How do we reset the system?

A

Turn marker light switch to any position and back to desired position in both leading and trailing cats

36
Q

When will SPB apply automatically?

A

When MR is below 500 kPa
60 seconds reverser in Neutral
Reverser off
60 seconds after MA is started (circuit energized)

37
Q

When does SPB release?

A

8km or above when reverser is not in OFF (linked to anti- neutralization device)

38
Q

What are the master controller and reverser connected to?

A

Control circuit breaker. It supplies 110vDC
If it trips CANNOT CONTROL TRAIN from that cab.
Train is disabled

A

380-410 kPa up to 550 kPa

42
Q

What will happen if Compressor Gov is tripped?

A

The CG will not monitor MR air pressure on that car. Compressor will continue to operate.

train lined ON /OFF SPB buttons on THIS car will not operate

43
Q

What will happen if AUX CB is tripped?

A

Saloon doors and lights remains in currently state.
If doors ARE open train will FAIL
