1.0 INTRODUCTION
This training package is prepared for the training of motorman and maintenance staff of AC-DC EMU (Siemens rake). Various equipments, switches, MMI displays and all other accessories of Siemens Rake with their locations and functions are described with suitable pictures in this document.
1.1 THREE-PHASE TECHNOLOGY
The vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art three-phase drive with asynchronous motor. The advantages over direct current drives are as follows:
• Smooth (Step-less) acceleration.
• Reduced weight
• Wear-resistant drives hence less maintenance and high level of reliability as no wearable part like carbon brushes and commutator.
• Good starting properties
• High tractive force over the whole speed range
• Wear-free regenerative brake for reduced maintenance, increased wheel and other mechanical component life and energy conservation as well
• Easy starting even on gradients
The stator winding of the asynchronous motor consists of coils, which are electrically offset by 120°. If these are connected to a three-phase network, they generate a rotating magnetic field, also known as rotating field.
The rotor consists of one winding which is designed with rods whose ends are
short-circuited by means of rings. This kind of rotor is therefore called short-circuit rotor.
A rotating magnetic field induces an electromagnetic force into the rotor winding.
The electric circuit of the short-circuit rotor is always closed, thus creating a current flow which generates another magnetic field (rotor magnetic field). The rotor magnetic field attempts to catch up with the rotating field in the process. If the rotor rotates faster than the rotating magnetic field, the engine automatically switches into braking mode. This means that by changing the voltage and the frequency, the output (torque) and the speed (number of revolutions per minute) can be altered. The frequencies and the voltages are generated in the current converter. The main components are the four-quadrant converter, the intermediate circuit and the pulse width modulation inverter.
In DC mode, the voltage is fed into the intermediate circuit via a line filter. The
transformer and the four-quadrant converter are therefore not required. After an automatic commutation from AC to DC, the transformer cooling is automatically switched off.
In braking mode, the vehicle can feed the generated energy back into the contact
line network. This is only possible if the network is able to receive the generated energy. If the network is not able to do this, the pneumatic brake is activated.

1.2 CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
There are two central control units called CCU. These are located in the driver's cab. Apart from the control of the entire train, the CCU also controls the display. The vehicles of one unit and the units themselves are connected to each other via an MVB bus. The MVB is designed redundantly with line A and line B. If the MVB bus is not available despite of this fallback, the vehicle can be operated in degraded operation via the rescue drive mode. This function is only used for clearing the track. In this operating mode, the display is switched off and the auxiliary tell-tale lamps are switched on. All switches, buttons and devices which are controlled via the control technology are connected to a KLIP station.
1.3 DISPLAY SUPPORT
The MMI (Man-Machine Interface) is installed in the driver's cab in the DTC
and informs the driver of the current state of all important functions in the train. The states of functions are indicated to the driver by means of coloured icons. The driver can detect faults at a glance. The display assists the driver during the subsequent error detection. For information on further actions, the driver can call up the corresponding remedy for the error message. Automatic vigilance device has been implemented via the master controller. If the driver releases the vigilance monitoring button during the journey, the brakes are applied automatically and the power of the train is switched off. This only happens during the journey. If the speed is below 5 km/h, this function is disabled. In rescue drive mode, the automatic application of the brakes is immediately initiated even if the vigilance monitoring switch is not actuated and if the speed is below 5 km/h.
1.4 AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
The three-phase auxiliary equipments are supplied by an auxiliary inverter. The inverter for auxiliary equipment generates the following voltages:
• 415 Volt AC for fans / main air compressor and pumps
• 110 Volt AC for passenger compartment fans and lighting
• 110 Volt DC for the auxiliary air compressor, plugs, battery bus bar, instrument and emergency lighting.
The inverter for auxiliary equipment supplies the three-phase components with a
fixed frequency (50Hz) and voltage. The auxiliary equipment is connected by means of contactors.

5.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MOTOR COACH ELECTRICAL EQU IPMENT 5.1 PRE-CHARGING AC CONTACTOR
This is AC contactor working under AC OHE supply. The traction transformer has two secondary windings. This contactor is connected in one of the circuit. One resistor is connected across the HT contact of the pre-charging AC contactor. Initially this contactor remains open, keeping pre-charging resistor in power circuit of four quadrant chopper module. As a result, initial inrush of charging current for DC link is reduced considerably which ensures the safety of semiconductor devices of the four quadrant chopper module.
5.2 PRE-CHARGING DC CONTACTOR
This is DC contactor working under DC OHE supply. Its function is to connect the equipment to power supply under DC condition. One resistor is connected across the HT contact of the pre-charging DC contactor. Initially this contactor remains open, keeping pre-charging resistor in power circuit of DC link. As a result, initial inrush of charging current for DC link is reduced considerably which ensures the safety of semiconductor devices in the HT circuit.
5.3 TRACTION CONVERTER CUBICAL
The traction converter cubicle is a completely assembled unit installed in the HT compartment of the motor coach. The traction control unit (TCU) is situated inside the cabinet. The technical details are as following:
Nominal input voltage 2 x 950 V AC, 50 Hz 1500V DC
Input voltage range in AC mode 627 V – 1083 V AC
Which is related to a line voltage from
16.5 – 28.5 kV
Input frequency range in AC mode 46Hz – 54 Hz
Input voltage range in DC mode 800 V – 1800 V DC
Nominal DC link circuit voltage traction operation
AC Mode 1800 V
DC Mode 1500 V
Power factor in AC at different loads and line voltages
Approx. unity
5.3.1 Four Quadrant Chopper Module (4 QC)
The IGBT’s are used as switches with a high closing sequence. The function is
described exemplarily for rectifier-operation starting from a current less situation. To build up a current in the self-inductance of the transformer LN one of the two IGBT’s A2 or A3 (positive half-wave, A1 or A4 at the negative half-wave) is triggered. During this the secondary side of the transformer is short circuited. As soon as the current has reached the desired value the IGBT is blocked. The current continues to flow via the free wheeling diode into the DC link circuit and is reduced by this (UD > UN). Afterwards the process starts again and during it the IGBT’s are used alternately to put equal thermal burdens on them.

Semiconductor IGBT
Type of phase module SIBAC BB S P 1500 FL
Pulse frequency 750 Hz
5.3.2 Pulse Width Modulated Inverter
The IGBT’s can be essentially defined as basic switches with a high clock
frequency. This means it is possible to connect 3 output terminals U, V, W as required to the + or of the voltage DC link CD. The switching sequences are selected so that a sinusoidal current is obtained. The voltages between two output terminals are now observed. The maximum possible amplitude of the phase to phase output voltage is a function of the magnitude of the DC link voltage Ud.
The RMS value of the output voltage can be reduced by clocking. This clocking
comprises brief turn-off operations within a basic fundamental. The frequency, with which the output waveform is repeated, is the same as the PWM inverter output frequency.
When braking, the motor torque direction opposes the direction of rotation. There
is considerable phase shift between the voltage and current. By entering the basic fundamental, the PWM inverter adjusts the phase between the voltage and current.

Protection resistors are externally connected to the brake chopper for protection. When any serious fault is detected by SIBAS, it turns off all IGBT modules and fires chopper. During this, entire DC link gets discharged through protection resistors. This is only for over voltage protection of the DC link & no full duty braking resistor.

The pantograph receives the supply voltage of either 25 kV catenary or 1500 V
DC catenary. The detection of AC or DC voltage is achieved through voltage sensing device which includes PT (potential transformer) for AC voltage detection & in series resistors for DC voltage detection. In case of AC voltage detection or no voltage detection, changeover switch AC/DC remains in the AC position thus connecting VCB (Vacuum circuit breaker) to the pantograph. This is a failsafe method of protecting the DC equipments against high voltage AC. For DC catenary, changeover switch AC/DC moves to DC position connecting HSCB (High speed circuit breaker) to pantograph.
A spark gap lightening arrestor is mounted directly on the pantograph to protect
the complete circuit from extreme over voltages.
The VCB is the main circuit breaker in case of AC catenary & the HSCB acts as the same for DC catenary.
Each motor coach is equipped with a main transformer. The main transformer
converts the 25 KV overhead line voltages to lower operating voltages. There are two secondary windings each of 950V (corresponding to 25 kV), 625 kVA. The transformer is oil cooled.
For AC catenary, as the VCB closes, the main transformer steps down the voltage
& feed the 4-QC (Four Quadrant Chopper Module) through two secondary winding of 950 V each (corresponding to a ratio of 25 kV/ 950 V). The initial charging of the 4-QC is done through a pre-charging resistor (AC) which is in series with secondary winding-1 of the main transformer. Once the voltage at the 4-QC output is build up to certain voltage level of DC using rectification process, the contactor across the pre-charging resistor are closed & the 4-QC builds up a fixed voltage of 1800 V DC to feed the PWM inverter & the auxiliary converter through DC link capacitor.
Main functions of 4-QC’s are to maintain a fixed DC voltage at its output
irrespective of the catenary voltage variations & to maintain a near unity power factor for the current consumed from or fed back to the AC catenary. It achieves these functions through two pairs of IGBT based modules. An LC filter circuit is provided at the output of the 4-QC, to filter out the second harmonic components from the rectified voltage & smoothen the DC link voltage.
The AC circuit is protected against surge voltages through gapless surge arrestors
(AC). Similarly DC circuit is protected through gapless surge arrestors (DC).
For DC catenary, Changeover switch AC/DC is in DC position. As the HSCB closes the DC link capacitor is charged through pre-charging resistor (DC) to avoid heavy inrush current. After some time delay Line Contactor is closed to bypass the pre-charging resistor & the full catenary voltage is applied across the DC link.
The function of the PWM inverter is to convert the DC link voltage into a variable
3 ØAC voltage of variable frequency in order to feed the traction motors. This is achieved through IGBT based modules. The voltage & the frequency of the 3 Ø output is determined by the control electronics named SIBAS-32 (SIemens Bahn Automatisierungs System with 32 bit microprocessor) based on the demand. The traction motors are ASM (Asynchronous Motor) or squirrel cage induction motors.

Inductor is used for smoothing & makes along with capacitor, a low impedance power source under DC catenary for the inverter & auxiliary converter.
Protection resistors are externally connected to the brake chopper for protection.
When any serious fault is detected by SIBAS, it turns off all IGBT modules and fires chopper. During this, entire DC link gets discharged through protection resistors. This is only for over voltage protection of the DC link & no full duty braking resistor.
There are two Auxiliary Converter modules connected in series. These IGBT
based modules convert 1500V/ 1800V DC to 3 Ø, 415 V AC supply. This supply is connected to two independent primary windings of isolation transformer. There are three secondary windings out of which, two are 3Ø, 415 V & one is 1Ø, 110 V AC. One 3 Ø, 415 V AC supply is extended to auxiliary machines which includes main compressor. Another supply of similar voltage is given to battery charging equipments. One battery of 110 V DC supply along with battery charging equipments are provided to extend control supply & emergency light supply. 1Ø, 110V AC supply is extended for normal lights & fans in passenger compartment. The same supply is also extended for redundancy lines to adjacent units.
