The Market scenario traction engineer demand high due to a lot of projects present in
industries. A skilled traction engineers can get respectable job with consultant and EPC
companies.
Anyone who trained in Traction OHE training course needs an introduction to the
electrical systems in electric rail systems.
Roles such as a Traction engineer’s estimators, work programmers and project
managers have a background in electric traction are often required to estimate,
program and project manage jobs that cover the whole project of building a rail line,
where the traction OHE knowledge is important.
The rail industry is a vibrant and growing field for public and freight transport.
It provides a service to customers wanting to travel and to the freight and haulage
industry.
The railways are a complex system and one of the key parts is the train.
Traction engineers have can make carrier in locomotives (also known as traction),
carriages (for passengers), wagons (for cargo) and multiple unit stock (rolling stock).

wayside power as well as on-board equipment for the trains.
ABB has a range of power and automation products and solutions for the rail industry
and a vast global installed base. Increasing concern for the environment, rapid
urbanization, the need to move more people and freight faster and volatile fuel prices
make rail a strategic focus sector for the company.
Elevators and Escalators –Metro's elevators and escalators provide access to the transit
system's many underground stations and to station platforms.
ROLE OF ELEVATORS IN METRO STATIONS Delhi Metro is a rapid transit system built
and operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited ,serving Delhi, Gurgaon and
NCR.
• Lifts have been provided for hassle free transit between different levels of stations
especially for Differently abled, Elderly and ailing passengers.
• They are designed for proper interface with Visually or hearing impaired passengers.
Lift for persons with disabilities ANALYSIS – MAJOR FOOTFALL, TIMING, FREQUENCY
• About 26 lakh people travel daily by
metro.
Elevator Control System is the system responsible for coordinating all aspects of
elevator service such as travel, speed, and accelerating, decelerating, door opening
speed and delay, leveling and hall lantern signals.
• The elevator leaves floor and will go to the fire-recall Floor and stops with its doors
open.
• The elevator will no longer respond to calls or move in any direction. Located on the
fire- recall floor is a fire-service key switch.
• Landing doors in lift -fire resistance of not less than one hour.
• Grounding switch at ground floor to enable the fire services to ground the lifts.
• a plan for each floor showing the location of Fire Exit Staircase.
• fire retardant low smoke cables FIRE MAN FIGHTING OPERATION MODE • activated
by a key switch located inside the elevator on the centralized control panel.
• Once the elevator gets to the desired floor ,it will not open its doors unless the fire
fighter holds the door open button. The fire fighter must hold door open until the door
is completely opened.
There are several fire detector types, each one with a specific operating principle.
Basically, they can operate by detecting temperature differences, smoke particles or by
light detection (DEWITT, 2007).
The fire detectors can also be classified according to the constructive type and
coverage area.
In this study, the fire detection devices are classified into two types:-
Punctual and linear.
The punctual detectors are compact units, with all the devices contained in a single
housing, and installed at a single point. They are intended to cover an area around the
point where they are installed. For a more inclusive coverage, it is necessary to install
these devices in more than one point, spaced at a technical criterion, depending on
each detector type.
Linear detectors consist of linear cables, or even light beams, usually suspended from
the roof of the protected area. They are intended to cover a linear range, that is, a
region in which the length is more important than other physical dimensions
(APSENSING, 2009).
Thermal Detectors Thermal detectors can be punctual or linear. They operate based on
the difference in temperature that exists between the external and internal device
regions. They can be classified into two types: fixed temperature detectors and
thermo-velocimetric detectors. Thermo-velocimetric detectors can be sub-classified
into two types: with compensation and combined temperature sensor. Another
classification of these devices is about their nominal operating temperature, also called
the device thermal classification. The operational nominal temperature is the
temperature at which the internal element of heat-sensitive detection must be heated
before acting.
Smoke Detectors According to the standard NFPA 72E (NFPA 130,1999), smoke can be
defined as "the totality of visible or invisible combustion particles carried by air".
Combustion visible particles, such as dense and heavy smoke have a small amount of
large particles per volume unit. On the other hand, the combustion invisible particles
have a large amount of small particles per volume unit. Smoke detectors may operate
based on optical, ionization or aspirating principle (MVFRA, 2011)
c) Aspirating Smoke Detectors Aspirating smoke detectors are ideally suited in cases in
which a great advance is needed to signal the fire. They are suitable for detecting fire in
the start-up phase. These detectors operate continuously aspirating the air
environment into a pipe network. A sample of this air goes through a two-stage filter.
The first stage removes dust and dirt. The second complements the first, through a very
fine screen, removing foreign particles as much as possible. After that, the air is led into
an optical or ionizing detecting chamber. In most detectors, this smoke chamber
analysis works with a laser light. The air sample is exposed to a controlled and stable
source of laser light. If smoke is present, the light is scattered within the detection
chamber, and this dispersion is instantly identified by optical sensors. These detectors,
nowadays, are employed in emergency exits of metros.
Flame Detectors The flame is composed by visible or invisible combustion gases
produced by a fire. Flame detectors are linear sight devices that generate an alarm
signal when exposed to the radiant energy of a flame. As this radiant energy travels at
the light speed, flame detectors have the potential to act very fast. These devices
cannot have obstructions such as structural elements or even the presence of dense
smoke or gases. Considering their fast action, flame detectors are generally used where
there is a significant risk of fire, such as storage and fuel transfer areas and in industrial
processing installations [Kaneshiro] [DeWitt]. The operating time of these devices is
around a few milliseconds.
a) Ultraviolet Radiation Detectors Among the flame detectors, ultraviolet detector (UV)
responds to invisible radiant energy in the ultraviolet range (below 4000 Ǻ). Typically,
UV detectors are designed to respond in the range of 1800 to 2500 Ǻ [DeWitt]. This
narrow band allows a reduction in the incidence of false alarms from electrical
discharges, lightning and solar radiation. The UV detectors have some limitations. One
of them is that they can generate some alarm because of the radiant energy of X-ray,
welding machines and lightning. Smoke also hinders the use use these detectors,
because it filters radiant energy. Thus, they are not suitable for areas in which a dense
volume of smoke can occur before the appearance of the flame.
c) Flicker Flame and Photoelectric Detectors Flicker flame and photoelectric detectors
respond to visible radiant energy, with wavelengths in the spectrum between 4000 to
7700 Ǻ. The photoelectric device has a photocell, allowing the generation of an alarm
signal when exposed to the radiant energy of a flame. The flame flicker detection
device, which also operates in the photoelectric principle, contains a filter that allows
adjusting to limit its action only in case of radiant energy modulated at a characteristic
frequency of a flickering flame [DeWitt]. Challenge H: For an even safer and more
secure railway .
Optical Fiber Detectors This system can work for kilometers, measuring the
temperature values at every specified period (for example, 10 seconds). The system
takes temperatures over the optical fiber, which acts as a linear sensor. These
temperatures are recorded continuously along the optical fiber. This ensures a good
precision of temperature measurement over large distances in a short time. The system
uses the so-called Raman Effect to measure the temperatures in optical fibers
(PROTECTORWIRE, 2011).
Sensor Cable Detector The sensor cable detector has small temperature sensors placed
at regular intervals along a cable used as a data and power bus. The sensors are
continuously monitored. Evaluation logic uses the values to determine when to report
an alarm. The system can be connected to a PC or fire control panel.
Sao Paulo Metro In the Sao Paulo Metro, there are some fire detectors installed. They
are located at several points of the stations. Public areas such as platforms and
mezzanines, subjected to a large flow of people, are not equipped with fire detectors. It
is considered that the people themselves are in charge of detecting any incidents and
of reporting them to the operational staff (METRO, 2009). Below the platforms are the
aspirating smoke detectors. In the technical rooms are the punctual optical detectors.
In the operating rooms, thermal detectors are more commonly used.
Road Tunnels In Brazil, there are optical fiber cable and resistive cable detectors
installed in road tunnels. The main applications are in the Imigrantes Highway tunnels,
and the Cidade Jardim Tunnel, in Sao Paulo. (TELVENT, 2009). 4.2.3 Other Metros
CoMET (Community of Metros) is an organization that brings together key rail
transportation systems in the world. Currently, it is formed by the metros of several
cities: Beijing, Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Mexico City, Madrid, Moscow, New York,
Paris, Santiago, Shanghai and Sao Paulo. It promotes a benchmarking between these
systems, allowing experience exchange (CoMET, 2011). Considering the subject of this
paper, a question was asked to the CoMET community about which fire detection
equipment the metro companies are using in tunnels. The response was provided only
by one metro company. According to them, fiber optics is used in tunnels, and linear
thermal systems at stations, especially in the escalators engine room. 4.2.4 Trains
Challenge H: For an even safer and more secure railway In the São Paulo Metro, the
Line 4 - Yellow trains are being designed with an aspirating smoke detector system
inside the passengers lobby. In the future, the intention is to employ the same fire
detection philosophy in the modernization of existing trains. However these systems
are not used to detect fire in the tunnel, caused by other materials outside the train.

Overall Benefits of the internship
I found practical knowledge at the site as much possible. Real work on site is quite
different from the knowledge gained from class. However seeing thing I could relate
many things to the theoretical which I read.
Talking various official and supervisors I have increased my theoretical knowledge and
concepts.
Talking to different person on site such as supervisors, engineers, labours etc I have
learned to communicate accordingly.
For effective completion of task one should work in team to increase productivity.
I have seen how supervisors and engineers guide and monitor workers using their
leadership skills. I have also tried to copy those qualities from them.
Work ethics :-
The overall quality in one’s behaviour towards appreciating the process of work flow
which I have learned from my teachers.
