 ROOF EQUIPMENT
• The HT current for feeding the locomotive is
taken from the 25KV 50Hz 1Phase catenary line
by means of pantographs.
• The locomotive is equipped with two
pneumatically controlled pantographs PT1 and
PT 2.
• Each of these two pantographs can be put out of
operation and earthed by means of hand-
operated bar HPT 1 and HPT 2.
• For ensuring safety of the operators during
maintenance work, to be carried out in the
locomotive.
 ROOF EQUIPMENT
• Hand-operated earthing switch HOM is provided
which makes it possible to earth simultaneously
the entire roofline and the HV input terminal of
the locomotive after lowering the pantographs.
• When earthed switch HOM cuts off the
compressed air supply to the pantographs, locks
the electric control handle of the pantographs,
• And releases the keys in the key box for opening
the HV compartment and the ladder leading to
the roof.
 ROOF EQUIPMENT
• On the contrary, in its “Normal” position (not
earthed) earthing switch HOM makes it possible
to feed the pantographs with compressed air,
releases the electric control handle of the
pantographs, locks the interlocking keys of HT
compartment doors and ladder in the key box.
• The protection of the locomotive against surge
voltage is secured by means of two roof surge
arrestors with spark dischargers ET 1 (mounted
on a support insulator of the HT Roof Bars) and
ET 2 (mounted on the HT input terminal of the
locomotive).
 ROOF EQUIPMENT
• The compressed air operated high voltage
circuit breaker DJ makes it possible, when
closed, to feed the main transformer winding
TFWR and thereby the windings for the auxiliary
circuits (TFWA).
• When tripping out, the circuit breaker DJ
switches off the feed to the main transformer
and therefore also all locomotive circuits except
the control circuits fed by the battery for control
of pantographs, high voltage circuit breaker,
traction control circuits, running and braking
control circuits. Signaling and Lighting circuit.

RC networks for each of the two secondary.
 SILICON RECTIFIERS
• Conversion of the alternating current supplied by
the secondary (a3 – a4, a5 – a6) windings of the
main transformer into direct current takes place
by means of two silicon rectifiers.
• The undulation of the current thus rectified is
reduced to a value acceptable for the traction
motors by means of the smoothing reactors to
two separate groups of three through Line
Contractors each.
• In case of any one silicon rectifier being
defective each rectifier can be cut-off.

 TRACTION MOTOR EQUIPMENT
• The traction motors double reverser J 1-2,
pneumatically controlled, connects the exciting
windings of the motors in such a way that these
carry current in one direction or in the other thus
enabling the locomotive to run in either
directions.
• Permanent field weakening resistance RPS 1-6
in parallel with the field windings of motors are
used to prevent the ripple component of the
current from passing into the field windings.
 TRACTION MOTOR EQUIPMENT
• Three step field-weakening resistances (RS) are
connected through contactors for each motor.
These resistances in steps control the field of
the traction motor.
• In traction position all the 6 motors M-1 to M-6
are supplied by the two silicon rectifiers in two
groups of 3 motors each connected in parallel
through contactors L-1 to L-6.
• Traction motors are connected in parallel, with
each rectifier unit catering to three motors.

 PROTECTION RELAYS
• [Link] Voltage Overload Relay QLM:-
• The relay QLM is fed by means of the high voltage
current transformer TFILM (250/5A) which causes the
high voltage circuit breaker DJ to trip out, if the current
taken in by main transformer exceeds the setting value
of the relay (300 A).
• 2. Overload Relays for Silicon Rectifies (QRSI 1 & 2):-
The relays QRSI 1-2 are fed by means of the rectifiers
current transformer RSILM 1 and 2 (4000/5A) which
cause the high voltage circuit breaker to trip, if the
current taken in by the rectifiers exceeds the setting
value of the relays (3600 A) or 4000A.
 PROTECTION RELAYS
• [Link] Device Differential Relay QD 1-2
• Wheel slip relays of current differential type are provided.
When the current difference is 160 A in between motors
2 and 3 and motors 4 and 5, the relay operates.
• In case of slipping, it feeds relay Q-48, thereby
energizing sanding electro valves, VESA and sand is
applied to corresponding wheels.
• Relay Q-51 is also energized causing regression of tap
changer till the slipping stops.
• 4. Main Circuit Earthing Relays QOP 1-2
• In case of failure of insulation of traction power circuit to
earth, the battery supply available to the relay trips the
 PROTECTION RELAYS
• relay through the earth fault and in turn opens the HV
circuit breaker DJ.
• The switch HQOP 1-2 makes it possible to isolate the
relay QOP 1 or 2 and replaces it through a resistance
RQOP in order to limit the fault current.
• Otherwise it will not be possible to switch on again the
circuit breaker DJ in order to bring the locomotive to the
shed.
• 5. Traction Motor Relay Q-20
• Relay Q-20 which is connected via resistance RQ-20
across rectifier output causes buzzer SON 1-2 to work, if
voltage exceeds 790 V.
• When voltage falls to 700 V, buzzer stops working.
 PROTECTION RELAYS
• [Link] Voltage Relay Q-30
• The relay Q-30 drops out if the single phase auxiliary
winding voltage drops below 215 volts.
• Its contacts switch off relay Q-44, thereby tripping DJ.
Relay Q-30 is switched on directly via the contacts of the
relay Q-45 and is fed via resistor RQ-30 after the relay
Q-45 opens/drops.
• 7. ARNO Starting Relay QCVAR
• Relay QCVAR has been put across ‘W’ phase and
neutral of ARNO to ensure proper starting.
• This cuts out ARNO starting contactor C118. It picks up
at 155-160 volt a.c.
 Battery Charger Signaling Relay QV-61
• [Link] Charger Signaling Relay QV-61
• This relay, which has been provided across the battery
charger CHBA, indicates the working of the charger.
• This relay operates at a voltage of 68-136V d.c.
• 9. Regression Relay QRS
• Relay QRS is energised when the loco is in running
condition and de-energised when the brake is applied.
• This relay operates Q 51 relay through its N/C contacts
and regress the tap changer.
 MEASURING ISTRUMENTS
• [Link] Motor Voltmeter (U 1-2) &(U 5-6 )
• The meter indicates the voltage applied to traction motor
armature during traction.
• It is a moving coil type having range of 0-900 V.
• 2. Traction Motor Ammeter (A 1/1, A 1/2 & A 2/1, 2/2)
• These ammeters are provided to read the traction motor
currents during service.
• These are moving coil type instruments having a range
of 1500-0-1000 Amps.
• 3. Voltmeters (UA-1 & UA-2):-
• The voltmeter UA-1, UA-2 are fitted in the control desks
and have double scale on which the auxiliary voltage
and the catenary voltage can be read.
