1.0 FOREWARD
1.1 Chittaranjan locomotive works is manufacturing 3-phase electric locomotives. These

locomotives take power from OHE through pantograph to traction transformer. This
traction transformer is provided with a hotel load winding to cater for the power supply
to coaches (also referred to as Hotel Load). The capacity of this winding is 1245 KVA,
which gives 960 volt single phase at 50 Hz ±6% at 25kV primary voltage with rated
maximum current 1260 A ,which varies with OHE voltage variation. The details of
transformer are provided in Annexure-2.
With the technological up-gradation and continuous advancements in the field of

power electronics, control system and power supply systems Indian Railways has
decided to adopt an energy efficient power supply system for power supply to the
coaches referred to as Head On Generation (HOG) for Rajdhani/Shatabdi trains,
presently having “End On Generation” (EOG) system. LHB type of coaches are best
suited for adoption of “Head On Generation” (HOG) scheme as the rake integrity with
these coaches is expected to be maintained due to the specific design of their inter
vehicle mechanical coupling.
In EOG system the electrical load (i.e. load of lights, fans and air conditioning, pantry
etc. referred to as “Hotel Load”) in the coaches of Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express
trains are fed from the power cars placed at either ends of the rake. Each power car
is installed with 2 DG sets generating 3-phase (4 wire) power supply at 750 Volts 50
Hz and the same is transmitted to entire rake through two cable feeders, running
through the whole length of the train. This electric power supply is tapped at each
coach through a 50 KVA transformer in Conventional Coaches and 60 KVA
transformers in LHB coaches and is converted to 415 volt for feeding the equipment
working at this voltage and further transformed down to 110-volt AC single phase for
feeding the equipment working at that voltage. Since the power cars are placed at
either end of the rake, the system is termed as End On Generation, which shall be
referred in this specification as EOG.
1.2 In HOG scheme power is fed from the Electric locomotive to the train to cater for the
Hotel Load of the train. In Electric locomotives, power is taken from the OHE through
pantograph to traction transformer of the locomotive which is provided with a hotel
load winding of 1245 kVA, at nominal voltage of 960 V single-phase, which shall vary
with the OHE voltage variations. This 960 Volts single-phase supply shall be fed to
Hotel Load Converter, which shall give 750 Volts 3-phase 50 Hz supply as output, for
feeding the hotel load of the train. Converter output shall further be stepped down to
415 V, 3-phase AC by existing transformers provided in every coach. This electrical
power shall be used to operate the lights, fans, air conditioning, water raising
apparatus of the coaches and the pantry car equipment.
