responsible for Performing preventive maintenance tasks to identify and addresspotential issues before
they lead to failures or breakdowns. They Undertake complete overhauls andrebuilding of mechanical
systems to extend the operational life of rolling stock. This involves disassembling, inspecting, repairing,
and reassembling components.
Generally when a coach enters the workshop it is usually laden with vast array of problems some of
which might not be easy to realize hence this departments is also responsible to Diagnose mechanical
problems, analyze performance issues, and identify root causes of failures in order to implement effective
solutions. If a part is deemed damaged it has to be replaced but there are certainparts that need to be
replaced due to the Periodic overhaul procedure mandates Replacing worn-outor damaged mechanical
components with new or refurbished parts to ensure the reliability and safety of rolling stock.

Another major aspect of this department is performing brake related Servicing and overhauling . It
Maintains and repair braking systems to ensure the proper functioning of brakes, which are crucial for
the safe operation of trains. Brakes are a consumable item but are still properly documented andthen
replaced and other systems relating to it repaired.

The body work is conducted and are responsible authority to Inspect, repair, and overhaul bogies
(undercarriages) that support the rolling stock, ensuring they are in good working condition.all of the
replacemets items are issued and certified for proper fitting but after finishong repairs proper
performance can be guaranteed only after Conducting performance tests on mechanical components and
systems to ensure they meet required standards and perform efficiently. Currently Older ICF coaches are

TYPES OF COACHES
There are 2 types of coaches (i) ICF coaches (ii) LHB

1. ICF coaches (integral coach factory):

Figure 2. Example of ICF Coach

The first attempt at standardization of manufacture of passenger coaches on Indian Railways led
to thedevelopment of IRS design of steel bodied coaches. An integral all metal coach design
was taken from M/s Schlieren, Switzerland in 1954 for manufacture at Integral Coach
Factory.These coaches aregenerally found in yellow or green color scheme .ICF is an Indian
Railways manufacturing unit located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It was established in 1952 andhas
been producing coaches for the Indian Railways network.ICF coaches were the standard for
many years, but they have been gradually replaced by LHB coaches due totheir improved safety
and comfort features.They are Heavier in weight and complex.The ICF coaches are broad gauge
self generating coaches, Meaning they are not supplied withelectrical power from the overhead
lines of other Power car connected with the train.In order to accomplish this the ICF coaches are
equipped with Alternators attached to the wheel which charge the batteries when rolling. the
charged batteries supply the electricals needs of a singlecoach.

Description of items in ICF coach.

1. Alternator.

Figure 3. Alternator \

Figure 4. Stator of Alternator forservicing

Alternators are commonly used to generate electrical power on board trains. They are usually
driven by the train's diesel engine or other prime movers, such as electric motors in the case of

electric trains. The alternators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is then used
to power the coach's electrical systems. The alternators used here are of DC brushless type.
These are axles driven with a belt drive to transfer the mechanical motion of the axle.

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY 9 SSEC,BHAVNAGAR

The ratings of the alternator is 4.5 kW, 37.5A, 120 V DC

2. Rectifier cum regulator unit.

Figure 4. Regulator cum Rectifier unit

To rectify the 3 phase AC output of the alternator through DC full wave bridge rectifier. In Self-Generating
Train Lighting and Air Conditioned (SG TL & AC) coaches, requirement of electricity for operating lights,
fans and air conditioning is fulfilled by generating by alternators driven by the axle of the coaches. Battery
of sufficient AmpereHour capacity is also connected parallel to feed the power to the coach during low
voltageconditions. In these SG coaches, magnetic amplifier controlledRectifier cum Regulator Units
(RRUs)are used initially to convert AC output of alternator into DC and regulate/ control the DC voltage
generated through the regulation of the field current of the alternator. This also prevents the reverse flow of
current from battery to alternator during periods of nongeneration. This rectified and regulated DC power is
used to operate the various electrical equipment and accessories inside the coach and to charge the batteries.

MEGGERING

Figure 18. meggering and meggering handbook

Meggering of Signalling cable is done to test the continuity and insulation of the cable conductors. The
Meggering should be carried out at initial stages, before and after cable laying. For maintenance purposes
thesetests shall be performed periodically. Low insulation of cable leads to inadvertent energisation or
deenergisation of circuits. Check for insulation values periodically enables to ensure integrity of circuits.
If a sudden fall in the value of insulation is observed during the test, the cause should be investigated and
immediate action should be taken to repair or replace the defective cable.
This test is carried out to confirm that the core under test is either showing break between both ends or
continuous.
