7.2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN LHB NON-AC COACHES
Electrical system in LHB NON-AC Coach consists of following part:
Power Supply
Train Lighting
Water Supply arrangement
Power Supply
The power supply system for the NON-AC coach is being designed to feed the
various electrical loads in the system operating at different voltage. Feeding of
power supply for all these load to be executed through following items:-
Figure 4: ZS Coupling
(RDSO/PE/SPEC/TL/0158-2010, REV-0)
This is a 3 phase dry type distribution transformer designed for LHB type NON
AC EOG coaches for providing power to coaches from 750 V supply of power
cars. There are two types of transformer i.e. type I- 9 kVA for general IInd class
and 3 tier sleeper coaches (train lighting load 6.5 kVA-415V + 2.5 kVA -190V
AC) and Type II- 15 kVA for chair cars (pantry load and train lighting load 12.5
kVA- 415V+ 2.5 kVA 190V AC).

The Regulated Battery Charger (RBC) is used for charging the batteries of
LHB coaches and to supply power to all DC loads in the coach. This battery
charger is fed power with three phase 415 volts AC 4 wire at 50 Hz from
the750/415 V step down transformer fitted on LHB coaches.
Two types of Regulated Battery Chargers (RBCs), 4.5 kW under-slung with
on-board display unit and without on-board display unit are in use respectively
on LHB AC and Non AC type of coaches as per RDSO specification no.
RDSO/PE/SPEC/AC/0183 (Rev.0) issued on 15.02.2016.
This is further revised vide revision specification no. RDSO/PE/SPEC/AC/0183
(Rev.1)-2018, and two types of battery chargers have been standardized and
modified to single unit Battery Charger for both AC & Non AC coaches. Now
this unit also incorporates Emergency Battery Charger into it. This will help in
reducing maintenance and also maintaining different inventory.
This IGBT based Regulated cum Emergency Battery Charger, is natural
cooled and without on-board display panel, suitable for both AC & Non AC LHB
EOG/HOG coaches.

7.2.1.6 Wheel Set Earthing Equipment
(Ref: RCF EDTS-101,REV-C,AM-1)
Wheel set earthing equipment for the wheel set is provided to prevent return
current flow through the axle bearings and likely damage . Thus the earthing
contact system acts as a current bridge that creates a connection by means of
wiper contact (brush) from the stationary bogie frame to the rotating wheel set.
This set comprises following subassemblies per bogie:
i. Wheel set earthing equipment with stainless
steel braided earthing cable: RCF drawing no.
LW 71231 – 1 set
The set of panels comprises of the various cubicles consisting of power and
control switchgear as mentioned below. Provision of halogen free electron
beam irradiated cables conforming to RDSO specification no.
ELRS/SPEC/ELC/0019 Rev-2.
i. High Voltage Cubicle (under-slung mounted)
ii. Battery Charger Box (under-slung mounted) (Battery charger box is

The box is earthed with two earthing terminals on top and bottom on
diagonally opposite ends.
Note:- RCBO shifted from High Voltage Cubicle to Onboard On Board
Rotary Switch Panel (Ref:- Amendment No.4 to specification No.RCF
EDTS-355, REV-1, AM-1,2 & 3)
Disconnecting and Earthing Device
A disconnecting and earthing device along-
with high voltage fuses is mounted inside the
panel. It is an OFF load device rated for 63 amps
at 750 volts fed from Generator Car through ZS
couplings.
It has two positions ON & EARTH. The main function of this device is to
separate the two feeders (input supply) and simultaneously earthing 750
volts ac network of the coach in case of emergency like contactor jamming
or maintenance of coach even during running of coaches.
High voltage fuses and contactor K01, K02 for net 1 and net 2.

The on-board panel houses the rotary switch panel as used in conventional
coaches for distribution of light and fan. This also houses rotary switch for
feeder selection to select the feeders as provided in the under-slung HV
cubicle and rotary switch for mobile charging socket along-with connectors,
push button for testing AEL is also provided in this box. This cabinet is made
of CRCA (Cold Rolled Close Annealed) sheet of thickness 2 mm and powder
coated to Siemens grey shade.

The lights are arranged in two circuits (L-I, L-II) and fans in one circuit-F, each
controlled by a rotary switch. Each circuit of lights and fans is protected by
HRC fuse which acts as back up protection in case of any short circuit fault,
isolating the faulty circuit only.
Figure 21: Rotary Junction Box Figure 22: Fuse Distribution Board
The circuit L-1 have essential/emergency lighting circuit which also include all
Lavatory lights, 50% of compartment lights, doorway lights, Night lights in all
types of IInd Class coaches. The L-II light circuit feeds all the balance lights in
the coach.
Glass fuses of proper rating protect the branch circuits for lights and fans.
These glass fuses are located on a distribution fuse board. All branch circuits
are protected by the fuses, both on negative and positive sides. The grouping
of negative wires is done in such a manner that the group load is within the
capacity of the distribution fuse board and arrangements are identical on
positive and negative sides.
Positive and negative wires shall be run in separate conduits on opposite side
wall of the coach.
Colour Code:
For easy identification of the cables, the various circuits have colour code as
indicated below:
Paralleling main and fan positive cables …….… Red
Light positive cables. …………………..… ……Yellow
Fan negative cables ………………………..…… Black
All other negative cables except fan negatives … Blue
