The relay Q45 closes provided that the auxiliary contact <strong>of</strong> the pantograph selector<br />

switch ZPT (pantograph raised) and the tap changer GR (contacts 43-44),in zero position are<br />

closed.<br />

The relay Q44 is switched on by contacts <strong>of</strong> the relay Q45, provided that the relay Q118<br />

has picked up (contacts closed) and the auxiliary contacts <strong>of</strong> the air motor for the tap changer<br />

ASMGR are closed (tap changer has not stopped between two notches). On closing or relay Q45<br />

and Q44, contactor coil Cl18 gets energised closing the Arno starting contactor and introducing the<br />

arno starting resistance Rl18. After these operations only EFDJ and MTDJ coils <strong>of</strong> the DJ will<br />

energise and close the DJ. If the pantographs <strong>of</strong> the leading locomotive are lowered thorough<br />

ZPT, the circuit breaker DJ <strong>of</strong> all locomotives coupled in multiple unit operation are tripped.<br />

5.5.4 ENFORCED OPENING OF DJ BY FAULTS<br />

Certain faults are followed by enforced tripping <strong>of</strong> the circuit breaker DJ on the<br />

locomotive on which the fault occurs. They are divided into three groups given below<br />

5.5.4.1 Instantaneous tripping follows in the event <strong>of</strong> any <strong>of</strong> the following faults<br />

• Upon overload on the high voltage side through tripping <strong>of</strong> overload relay QLM<br />

(contacts opened)<br />

• Upon overload <strong>of</strong> the traction circuits through overload relay QRSI1 or QRSI2<br />

(contacts opened)<br />

• Upon earth faults in traction circuits through earthing relay QOP1 or QOP2<br />

(contacts opened)<br />

• Upon earth faults in the auxiliary circuits through earthing relay QOA<br />

(contacts opened)<br />

• Upon pressure dropping in compressed air lines or in circuit breaker via pressure<br />

switched QPDJ (contacts opened)<br />

5.5.4.2 Tripping <strong>of</strong> DJ delayed by 0.6 seconds by relay Q44 follows in case <strong>of</strong> the<br />

following faults<br />

• Upon loss <strong>of</strong> 380 V auxiliary voltage through no-voltage relay Q30 (contacts<br />

opened)<br />

• Upon failure <strong>of</strong> one rectifier blower through contacts <strong>of</strong> relay QVSI1 or 2 or<br />

motor protection switched DMVSI 1-2 (contacts opened)<br />

breaker.<br />

Failures <strong>of</strong> any one blower <strong>of</strong> the two rectifier cubicles is sufficient to trip the main circuit<br />

To permit emergency operation <strong>of</strong> the locomotive with only one rectifier, the switch<br />

HVSI1 or HVSI2 is brought to position "O" to switch <strong>of</strong>f faulty rectifier and to bridge over the blower<br />

monitoring contacts QVSI and DMVSI <strong>of</strong> the faulty rectifier. The main circuit breaker can be<br />

reclosed now.<br />

• Upon opening <strong>of</strong> auxiliary contacts <strong>of</strong> air motor <strong>of</strong> the tap changer ASMGR if
