2 TRUTHS AND A LIE

|FIND THE LIE!!!|

• The PANTOGRAPH is mounted on the roof of an electric rolling stock to collect power through the OCS.

• The PANTOGRAPH collects power from OCS and directs it to the Traction Motor.

• The PANTOGRAPH may operate in either direction of travel of the train.

The device which takes electrical energy is known as the electrical load. It consumes electrical energy in the form of the current and transforms it into other forms like heat, light, work, etc.

The loads can be the following except:

• Resistive Load

• Inductive Load

• Capacitive Load

• Alternative Load

The __________________ is used to supply the electricity that is sent out from the railway substation to the rolling stock and other essential loads inside the rolling stock including the lighting system, ventilating system, among others.

• Rectifier Substation

• Overhead Catenary System (OCS)

• Power Distribution Diagram

• Power Line Distribution System

The ____________ is a self-propelling train unit capable of coupling with other units of the same or similar type and still being controlled from one cab and is powered by electricity from an external source.

An electrical equipment is considered ENERGIZED when the following are present/occurring EXCEPT:

• Circuit is closed or connected

• Electricity flows in continuous current

• Creates potential for electrical shock

• Circuit is opened or disconnected

The following are activities related to the conduct of maintenance and inspection of contact line facilities (OCS) EXCEPT:

• Conduct insulation resistance

• Conduct panto-up, panto-down exercises

• Conduct inspection on cable, its connection, etc

• Check if installation parameters are met

How can you contribute in the attainment of a safe environment during the conduct of practical exercises at the railway operator's facility?
