    MODIFICATION SHEET NO. RDSO/2022/EL/MS/0490 (Rev. ‘0’) dated 09.09.2022

    1.0 Title:

    Modification to avoid Speedometer OFF & ON during running of train/locomotive due


    to VCU reset in three phase electric locomotives.

    Page 1 of 5
    File No.RDSO-EL/0/TPS(TPTE)/1/2020-O/o PED/SE/RDSO-Part(1)

    2.0 Brief History:

    2.1 This office has issued the modification sheet in existing control electronics (CE)
    resetting scheme of 3-phase electric locomotive to eliminate the faults purely
    transient in nature during running of train/locomotive vide Modification sheet no.
    RDSO/2018/EL/MS/0475(Rev.0).

    2.2 There is a provision of VCU reset switch in 3-Phase locomotives. By operating this
    switch, power to all the control electronics including VCU & Speedometer will be cut
    off and restored after some time.

    2.3 Speedometer power gets OFF & ON during control electronics (VCU) reset in
    modified locos. During VCU reset Procedure, Contactor 218 gets de-energized which
    leads to Speedometer also getting OFF & ON as power supply is in common path.
    Once power is restored, Speedometer will perform self-test of all the internal
    hardware including Memory, controller, RTC, relays etc. which will take around 15-
    20 seconds. During this period, there will not be any recording in Speedometer.

    2.4 As mentioned in CLW letter no. C/D&D/T/42 dated 28.08.2018 and RDSO letter no.
    EL/11.5.5/21 dated 12.12.2018 only control electronics (VCU) will get reset and reset
    switch can also be operated during running of train/locomotive. But in this case,
    Speedometer is also getting OFF & ON during VCU reset.

    3.0 Objective:

    3.1 As the reset switch can be operated during running of locomotive, Speedometer
    power will be interrupted during this period. Being a safety device, it is not desirable
    that Speedometer power be interrupted during locomotive running.

    3.2 The objective of this modification sheet to suggest a scheme to avoid Speedometer
    OFF & ON during running of train/locomotive due to VCU reset in three phase
    electric locomotives.

    4.0 Limitation in existing Scheme:

    It is to be mentioned that Speedometer also getting OFF & ON with VCU reset during
    running condition of train/locomotive by operating VCU reset switch due to their
    power supply in common path. When VCU reset switch is pressed, VCU reset relay gets
    de-energized and its interlock on contactor 218 coil branch gets opened leading to coil
    of contactor 218 de-energize causing contactor 218 to get open circuited. Due to this,

    incoming power supply coming from contactor 218 through wire no. 2096 to
    Speedometer MCB (127.92) got interrupted leading to Speedometer OFF.

    5.0 Modified Speedometer Scheme:

    As described in Para 4, it is not feasible to do VCU reset without Speedometer OFF &
    ON as per existing Scheme. In view of this, following modification is proposed in control
    supply wiring of Speedometer circuit to avoid its OFF & ON during VCU reset. In this
    modified scheme, input supply to speedometer MCB will be fed from output of
    contactor no. 126 through wire no. 2095. Modified scheme is given as under.
