Cable of AC choke was passing just beneath the ZCT leading to erratic operation
of ZCT due to variation in impedance value. Also, mechanical stresses developed
on the core of ZCT which leads to its failure.
There are two ZCTs for sensing internal and external earth faults.

Failure of ZCT AAL
There have been frequent failures of Battery Charger and chopper CT.
All failures were of ABB make CTs. There was a loose connection in
power supply terminals due to wrong position of screw.
Action plan Status
1 Firm have sent failed DCCT/CHCT
to OEM (ABB) for investigation and
reported failures were due to
defective batch of 180 no.’s.
Total 130 no.’s replaced .
Failures have reduced and
further performance is under
watch. Firm advised to
replaced remaining with LEM

Initially wiring of delay timer was tapped from secondary of Auto
transformer at 380 ± 5% V but the voltage spikes were the cause of
melting the fuses failures.

The firm proposed to change the
secondary tap point taken from
380 ± 5% V to 110 ± 5% since at
low voltage spikes will be less
Use of 110 V timer
Firm has modified 20 units
and after satisfactory
performance , firm has been
permitted to modify all the
units.

QCON TIMER CARD OF M/s HIND
The problem was unwanted firing pulse to crow bar thyristor for
protection of DC link over voltage.
Action plan Status
1 To prevent unwanted firing of crow
bar thyristor an energy absorption
unit is being introduce by firm.
Firm has introduced in 06
locos an energy absorption
unit (04 no ET, 01 CNB
01 JHS). which reduces the
excess energy generated due
to unwanted firing of crow bar
thyristor and thereby
preventing the melting of
fuse.
Another 50 units has been
permitted & to be done
within 02 (two) months.
Fitment feed back along with
performance is under watch.

CROW BAR THYRISTOR OF M/s HIND
The capacitance value (0.47 mF) of Snubber capacitors are deteriorating
after a service period of 3 to 4 years of service. The value is deteriorating
from 0.47 micro farad to 0.5 nano farad. The capacitors are Oil filled
and not dry type and the life of oil filled type capacitor is less than Dry
type.
Action plan Status
1 Firm has been asked to make a
cycle check on the value of
snubber capacitors and if the value
deteriorates they have to replace
with new Capacitors of Dry Type.
One cycle checking done.
Firm has replaced snubber
capacitors in 26 locos with
dry type. Total 247 unit have
been checked. Sheds have
also been requested to check
the value of capacitors during
maintenance and replace if
required. This has been
communicated to all railways.
20
Snubber Capacitor problem of M/s HIND
The basic problem is bearing failure. All the bearing failures are after a
service period of 4 years.
Action plan Status
1 Zonal railways are advised to
replace bearing after a service
period of 04 years. .
Zonal railways have to replace
the bearing .
21
Cooling Fan failures of M/s HIND
There are failures of Control Cards A 704 (Chopper) & A 703 (Inverter) .

The tripping of SIV occurred due to sensing over voltage of OHE though
OHE voltage was below specified limit.
Action plan Status
1. The case has been studied by the
firm and found that heat generated
in TDC-IF card which leads to
opening of solder joint of a resistor
in RC circuit. The firm has now
provided RC network in place of
resistor.
2. On further study the limit of OHE
sensor of SIV is being increased
from 500 ms to 1 sec. by software
modification vide letter dated
5.4.2017
3. Average time increased from 200ms
to 500ms
1. Problem occurred again in
the locos where modification in
RC network of TDC-IF card was
carried out. .
2. Software modification in 20
locos in ELS/CNB and KZJ.
The performance is satisfactory.
Firm has been advised to
implement the modification in
all units.

quality of crimping / soldering
of the contact.
2. Checking the contacts in
schedule maintenance as
specified in SMI.
(i) Two cases failed after a
service period of 05 years.

Maintenance practices adopted by ELS/ BZA & ED
ELS/ ED & ELS/ BZA have developed Electronic Lab for
testing of various Electronics cards of 180 KVA Static
Converter.
43
Maintenance practices adopted by ELS/ BZA & ED
ELS/ ED has repaired 83 Nos. of cards till date .
ELS/ BZA investigated the failures of GDU card and found
that GDU card was failing due to failure of Pulse
transformer. Shed has developed an In-house test bench
and re-wind the Pulse transformer. They achieved the
same voltage range of pulse of +16 V to -11 V and winding
resistance of 0.2 to 0.3 Ω.
44
Till now shed has provided 12 no.’s
of such re-winded Pulse
transformers and all are working
satisfactorily. In this way they have
saved purchase of complete GDU
card which costs 2.2 lakhs.
