The overall supervisory remote control and data acquisition system designed for 25 KV traction supply essentially consists of :1.Master controller of RCF/Front End Processed (F.E.P) 2.Remote Controller at TSS, SP and SSP. Functionally the provided at the remote control centre (RCC) performs the functions required for sending telecommands receiving telesignals and telemeter purpose. The F.E.P is the heart of the system and master controller is used as mimic driver. This originates the interrogating messages during the normal scan sequence mode, or the control messages during the control mode. These serial messages are transmitted to the remote controller through modem. It also performs formatting and parity generation operations. The F.E.P and SN -73 enables in maintaining the scan time within reasonable limits, and also provide large amount of date processing, data logging and Supervisory Control Operations through workstation keyboard. A mimic diagram board can be connected through suitable interface to the master, The MDB workstation provides a visual indication of state of the equipment at various stations. The remote controller are ruggedised stand alone units, capable of performing task of acquisition monitoring and control required at TSS, SP and SSP. These act as intelligent slaves to the master at RCC, thereby reducing processing requirements of the master and the communication overhead. The remote controller is a microprocessor based data acquisition and control system capable of accepting analog as well as digital inputs. The remote controller has a communication interface which allows it to communicate with the master over telephone lines. The operation is half duplex, with FSK modulation and nominally at 600 baud-rate. The status of the circuit breakers, isolators, etc. are given by the digital input modules. The system is isolated from the field inputs to ensure that no damage is done to the system as result of high voltage spikes on the input lines. The commands to circuit breakers, isolators etc. are given by digital output modules. The on-board relay contacts can carry a maximum of 2 amps current which is

sufficient to drive the interposing relays. The current, voltage, MVA power factor and other analog measurements are done by feeding the signals to the analog input modules. The transducers convert the parameters into acceptable signals in the form 0 -10V, -5 to +5 or 0-20 mA current loop. The input module use ADC having a resolution of 12 bits. Besides the above technical features, the system bus structure has been specially designed for noisy environment at high data transfer rates.

Different types of masts are used in TRD. Out of these, most common mast's weight schedules are as follows:RSJ :- 507.205 BFB ( 6"x6") :- 361.285
Approx. 30 % of RKM is elctrified which runs 65 % freight traffic of IR. Total fuel bill of IR is Rs.8000 Crore out of which electric traction bill is Rs. 5000 Crore.

A circuit breaker is a manually or automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overloador short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and interrupt current flow. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city.

Isolator is use to isolate the circuit but it can't be operated in on load conditionwhere breakercan be operated in on load or off load condition.Isolator

can't disconnect faulty circuit in case of any fault condition while breaker are used as protecting device and disconnect circuit in faulty conditions.
