STEP BY STEP TROUBLE SHOOTING PROCEDURE FOR SIV

SIV NOT STARTING

Checking sign:
While pressing BLRDJ;
LSDJ Extinguishes
UA meter deviates, but
No sound from Auxiliaries and
LSCHBA remains glowing
1. Check CCINV and CCA fuses.
2. If melts, renew with spare fuse.
3. If again melts, keep HOBA in OFF and renew the fuse.
4. If CCINV and CCA are in good condition, check the QSVM relay.
5. If not energised, wedge QSVM in energised condition
6. Check whether QV 60 relay is in de-energised condition.
Switch ON BLDJ, BLCP & BLVMT then press BLRD
Before closing DJ, ensure BLVMT is switched ON to avoid SIV over loading
COMPRESSOR NOT WORKING
Ensure BLCP/BLCPD is switched ON.
Check whether QTD 101 is energised.
If QTD 101 is not energised, Wedge QTD 101 in energised condition.
If QTD 101 is wedged, wait for 5 seconds after LSCHBA extinguishes and then Switch ON
BLCP/BLCPD

DJ TRIPPING

WITH LSSIT
LAMP GLOWING
WITHOUT LSSIT
LAMP GLOWING
Trouble in
Aux. Power circuit or SIV

Trouble in
DJ control circuit

DJ tripping without LSSIT

Tripping failure through control circuit of DJ.
DJ TRIPPING IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELEASING BLRDJ
Reason Q30 defect.

DJ tripping within 15 seconds after LSCHBA extinguishes

CAUSES: DEFECTIVE:
MVSL 1 or QVSL 1
MVSL 2 or QVSL 2
MPH or QPH
MVMT 1or QVMT 1
MVMT 2 or QVMT 2
MVRH or QVRH

Keep HVSL-1 in 3 position

Keep HVSL-2 in 3 position
Keep HPH-1 in 3 position
Keep HVMT-1 in 3 position
Keep HVMT-2 in 3 position
Keep HVRH in 3 position

If DJ is not tripping after keeping switches as above, check the working of aux. motors and
normalize the switches one by one.
After normalizing the switch if again DJ trips, keep the particular switch in 3 position and
resume traction.
If any auxiliary motor is not working, trouble shoot as per TSD.
DJ tripping after taking 1st notch
Trouble shoot for Operation-I
DJ tripping after taking 6th notch
Trouble shoot for Operation-II
DJ Tripping with LSSIT
Reason:
Any internal Fault in SIV unit, like
1. Fan fault
2. Rectifier fault
3. Fuse melted
4. Inverter fault
5. Control electronic circuit fault
Any External Fault (Auxiliary circuit), like
1. Earth fault (Any terminal touching the loco body)
2. Short circuit (Winding Short circuit)
3. Single phasing ( Due to one phase is open circuited)
4. Over Load (Bearing seized and Impeller broken etc.,)
If any External or Internal fault is sensed by SIV control electronics then,
SIV stops & restarts with LSCHBA glowing for 2 to 5 times normally (in AAL
Type)
DJ trips with LSSIT after few seconds without restarting (in SIEMENS Type)
But DJ is in remain closed condition and UA meter is deviating
If trouble is not rectified, DJ trips through relay QSIT and LSSIT lamp glows in drivers
desk.
Note: For some internal faults, DJ trips with LSSIT immediately without restarting

DJ Tripping with LSSIT

Trouble Shooting Procedure:
9 Check the aux. Power circuit for any abnormality like
smoke, smell, fire etc.,
9 Check the display panel of SIV
9 Switch OFF HBA for few seconds and Switch ON again
9 Re-close DJ, if SIV starts and LSCHBA extinguishes, resume traction
9 If again SIV stops & restarts or DJ trips with LSSIT
1. Keep HRA-1&2 and HVT in 0 and remove CCSPM
Or
2. Keep HRAVT in 0 or 3 position and remove CCSPM.
3. If switches are not provided, Remove CCRA-1&2, CCVT and CCSPM,
4. Switch OFF ZRT, BLRA
5. Do not switch on BLCP & BLVMT
6. Re-close DJ, if again DJ trips with LSSIT
7. Keep the following isolating switches in 0
1. HVSL- 1&2 in 0
2. HVSI- 1&2 in 0
3. HPH in 0
8. Close DJ
If SIV starts normally, Trouble is in Aux. power circuit
Switch ON BLCP or BLCPD, if SIV shut down/ DJ trips with LSSIT, change HCP
position and try
Switch ON - BLVMT if SIV shut down/ DJ trips with LSSIT, keep HVRH, HVMT-1 &
HVMT-2 in 0 position and try
Normalise the switch one by one
After Switching ON BLCP & BLVMT, no abnormality is noticed then
Normalise HVSL-1, HVSL-2, HVSI-1, HVSI-2 & HPH to 1 position one by one
After changing the position to 1 if SIV shut down/ DJ trips with LSSIT, isolate the
particular auxiliary load
Follow the procedure as per TSD for isolation of auxiliary motor
Note: Isolating switch to be operated only when DJ is in open condition
Even after isolating all the auxiliary loads, if DJ trips with LSSIT + EARTH FAULT
indication appears in display panel, follow the procedure

SIEMENS
Indication:
1. DJ trips + LSSIT glows + inside fault lamp glowing + Earth Fault in LCD display
or
2. DJ trips + LSSIT glows + out side fault lamp glowing + Earth Fault in LCD
Display

Normalize all the isolating switches for auxiliary motors

Press RESET button & Keep HSIV in 0
Re-close DJ, inform TLC for arranging relief and resume traction
Clear section with in 45 min.

At the end of 45 min. if there is a permanent earth fault, DJ trips with LSSIT and SIV
locked permanently
AAL
Indication:
DJ trips + LSSIT glows + Earth fault LED glowing + ELD_FT in VFD display

Normalize all the isolating switches for auxiliary motors

Keep HBA to OFF and ON again
(LSSIT extinguishes now)
Keep HSIV in 0
Press ELD BYPASS ON button in SIV panel
ELD BY PASS lamp will glow now
Re-close DJ, inform TLC for arranging relief and resume traction
Clear section with in 45 min.
