Harmonic Filter Controlcircuit Operation
Filter ON/OFF: -
To switch ON/ OFF filter circuit Contactor (8.1) is used whose coil is energised through Converter
Control Electronics (415 WG/1). With Key switch in Driving (D) position, Control Electronics contactor
218 closes and extends supply to potential 5101B, A through MCB 127.1 and to coil of contactor 8.1
through converter Control Electronics 415 and NC contact of Contactor Discharging Resistance
(8.41).
Control electronics controls the closing of filter ON/OFF contactor in the following manner: -
1. With VCB closed and Reversor position selected, the filter ON / OFF Contactor (8.1) will close
when TE/BE throttle is moved from Zero Position to any other position.
2. After wards whenever Throttle is brought to Zero with VCB closed the filter contactor will
remain close. However, if this situation persists for more than 5 minutes then Filter
Contactor (8.1) opens Discharger Contactor (8.41) closes for 120 M seconds. Filter ON/OFF
(8.1) will remain close when TE/BE throttle is moved again. With contactor energised, its
auxiliary contacts 8.1 connected between potential 2801A and 2861A, B closes and this
message is taken by converter control electronics connected at potential 2861A, B.
Filter Adaptation:
Contactor 8.2 is used for Filter adaptation, which is closed when both the bogies are in operation
and open when one bogie is isolated. Contactor coil is energised through converter control
electronics (415) With Key Switch in Driving (D) position, Control Electronics Contactor 218 closes
and supply comes to potential 5101B, A through MCB 127.1 Supply comes to coil of contactor 8.2
through Converter Control Electronics 415 (5101A, B-2866) Control Electronics will allow supply to
the contactor coil only when one Traction Converter is isolated
With contactor energised, its auxiliary contact 8.2 connected between potential 2801A and 2862A, B
closes and this message is taken by control electronics connected at potential 2861A & B.
Resistor discharging: -
Contactor 8.41 is used for resistor discharging, which is closed to discharge harmonic filter capacitor
(8.41) through Discharge resistor (8.42) and is controlled by control electronics. Supply comes to coil
of contactor 8.41 through control electronics 415 and normally closed contact (NC) of filter ON/OFF
contactor 8.1 to ensure that contactor 8.41 is closed only when contactor 8.1 is open. With
contactor energized, its auxiliary contact 8.41 connected between potential 2801A and 2863A, B
closes and this message is taken by control Electronics connected at potential 2863A, B.
