Signature of principal:
Rail coach factory, Kapurthala has been entrusted with the task of developing
and manufacturing of modern, high speed state of art coaches under transfer of
contract. RCF took the challenge, achieved the target and rolled out its first rake of
LHB coaches on 13-12-2003 for Rajdhani Express between New Delhi to Mumbai
Central.
ADVANTAGES OF LHB AC COACHES
Mechanical Advantages
Modern designs of vestibule for inter car connection
Anti – climbing feature to prevent climbing off during collision (CBC
COUPLING)
Coach length is increased by about 1.7 m to provide extra carrying capacity.
Length of ICF coach is 21337 mm (21.3 meter) whereas LHB coach is 23040
mm (23.04 meter). This extra length means two additional rows of chairs in
chair cars or one additional bay in sleeper coaches.
Weight reduction by 10% due to latest technology and SS material
1 AC 18 to 24
2 AC 46 to 54
3 AC 64 to 72
Electrical Advantages
Low noise, microprocessor controlled AC unit
Light weight epoxy molded 60 KVA Transformer
Integrated modular single switchboard with controls of AC lighting
Provision of FRLS cables
Uniformity of illumination
IGBT based battery charger used
Humidity control by microprocessor
Temperature control in seven step
Disconnecting and earthing device provided
Exhaust fan provided in toilet
Flap motor to adjust volume of fresh air automatically
NTC type sensor provided
The electrical equipment of roof mounted package units, exhaust fans and
pump equipment are supplied with 415 V, 3-phase supply received from 60
KVA transformer.
Loads of electrical appliances provided in sub pantry such as hot case, bottle
cooler, and refrigerator shall be fed with single phase at 230 V, 50 Hz by using
one out of three phases and neutral connection of 3-phase 415V AC supply.
The lights, electric razors socket etc. shall be supplied at 110 V, single phase
AC received from regulated battery charger.
The 110 V DC is used for supplying control for roof mounted package unit ,
anti-skid device, light control, emergency lights, telephone, night lights,
berth reading lights, power contactors control etc.
The power and control supply arrangement to various electrical loads in the
coaches shall generally be similar to originally imported LHB AC coaches. The
415/230 V AC network is designed as unearthed IT-4 conductor system.
Roof coach wiring shall be routed in PVC rigid conduit/trenches conduits.
Under frame wiring shall be with IP68 protection and shall be covered with
perforated cable trays as a primary safe guard against ballasts hitting.
All the equipment above 250 V shall be earthed at two places and below 250
V at one place. Voltage segregation shall be ensured during wiring.
The system will have earth fault/earth leakage protection to disconnect the
supply automatically, if the earth fault current exceeds the limit of current
for keeping the contact potential within reasonable limits.
EQUIPMENT DETAILS
• ZS Coupling – 4 Nos.
• Refrigerator – 1 No.
Disconnecting and earthing device is provided in switch board cabinet and is fed
750 V from power car through ZS couplings. It has two positions “ON” & “EARTH”.
It disconnects coach feed at 750V in case of emergency like contactor jamming and
earths the coach for maintenance even during running of coaches.
Capacity : 120 Amp
Purpose : It is an off load switch to ensure earthing before
maintenance.
Locations : In bottom right side of switch gear rack.
