CHAPTER –1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 One of the solutions to avoid accidents is provision of Auxiliary Warning System. The
ZUB-100 system devised by M/s. Siemens Ltd. has been introduced on suburban of
section of Western Railway, Bombay from 24/02/87.

1.2 Auxiliary Warning System (AWS) : - The microprocessor-based system is essentially

an aid to the driver. It continuously monitors speed, direction of travel, distance
traveled, aspect of signal passed and driver’s alertness and acts to protect lives of
passengers, train crew, railway property by avoiding accidents, thereby increasing
reliability of railway system.

1.3 Control exercised by the system: - When the train passes green signal, maximum
speed of the train is restricted to preset level of 90 KMPH. In the existing form, double
yellow signal has been equated to green on Western Railway. When train passes
yellow signal, the speed of the train has to be reduced to 38KMPH in 290-meter
distance from foot of the yellow signal. When the train passes permissive red signal or
is moved under signal failure bypass condition, maximum speed is restricted to
15KMPH. If vehicle is moved in reverse direction emergency brakes are applied. (EP
brakes at 2 mtrs. and EB at 5-mtrs. distance) If any of the above speed limits are
exceeded the system acts in manner indicated below:

Speed ≥ speed limit + 1 KMPH– Audible warning.

Speed ≥ speed limit + 5 KMPH – Service brakes.
Speed ≥ speed limit + 10 KMPH – Emergency brakes.
The brakes automatically release, when speed reduces to the limit.

1.4 Functional description of the system (refer fig. 1-1) :-

The AWS components have been shown in the diag. The signal aspect information is
connected with track magnet through opto coupler card. The oscillators in the track
magnet, corresponding to signal aspect, generate frequencies which are picked up by
engine magnet, when vehicle passes over track magnet and information regarding
signal aspect is communicated to central processing unit.
The information regarding speed of train and direction of travel is received

by central processing unit from tachogenerator. The driver communicates with central
processing unit through indication panel.
The central processing unit processes information. The output are fed to indication
panel, hooter, buzzer and brake actuating unit. The brake actuating unit is connected
with brake system on train. The isolation unit meant for connecting power supply to the
system.

1.5 As already explained the system consist of followings:

A) Track side equipments.

1) Opto coupler card.
2) Track Magnet (TM)
B) Cabborne equipment:
3) Engine magnet (EM)
4) Tacho Generator (TG)
5) Indication Panel (IP)
6) Brake Actuating Unit (BAU)
7) Isolation Unit (ISU)
8) Hooter / Buzzer
9) Central Processing Unit (CPU) consisting of Microprocessor
and PCB cards.
10) Brake control.

1.6 Brief function of each of the above components.

 The opto coupler card connects signal aspect information with track magnet.

 Track magnet has oscillators. Depending on signal aspect, particular oscillator oscillates.
On receipt of energy from engine magnet it starts oscillating, thus communicating signal
aspect to central processing unit in engine.

 The engine magnet receives energy from power supply card in central unit. It detects
presence of track magnet, receives and transmits signal aspect information on principles
of resonance coupled oscillating circuit to central processing unit.

 The Tacho-generator is axle driven unit and informs speed and direction of vehicle to
central processing unit.

 The indication panel consists of push buttons, counters and indication lamps. These
convey signal aspect passed, to driver and permit certain operations by driver.

 Brake actuating unit consists of brake control relay, emergency braking reverse relay,
emergency braking normal relay and service braking relay. These relays help actuating
EMU braking system.

 The isolation unit has manually operated isolating switch and set of MCBs. It connects
110V supply to AWS system. Provision also exists for counting No. of isolations.

 Hooter / Buzzer – these are used for giving audible warning to drivers.

 Central processing unit has various printed circuit board cards each with designations
such as B1, A1, B2, A1 etc. and having specific task. Microprocessor is situated in B11,
A1 card. The unit receives, processes, all information and issues instructions for acting
depending on preset programme.

Depending on pulses received from central processing unit, brakes are actuated and are
applied on EMU. EP brakes are applied by connecting supply to EP relays and emergency
brakes are applied by disconnecting supply to magnet valves provided for the purpose.

CHAPTER – 2

TRANSMISSION OF SIGNAL INFORMATION TO EMU

2.1 The Central equipment needs information regarding signal aspect being passed by the
train. The information is processed by microprocessor and control is exercised on
EMUs.

2.2 Transmission of signal information: This is based on principle of resonance coupled

oscillation circuits. When EMU passes over track magnet, current dip is experienced in
Engine magnet 50 kHz coil due to presence of tuned circuit. The microprocessor then
gets this information. Further, oscillators corresponding to signal aspects are
energized and frequency corresponding to signal aspect are modulated in 100 kHz
circuit and are picked up by engine magnet which are fed to microprocessor after
demodulation and amplification. Thus signal aspects are communicated.

2.2.1. The devices used for the purpose of receiving information are as under: -
(i ) Opto coupler card.
(ii) Track magnet.
(iii) Engine magnet.

2.2.2 The engine magnet is installed on EMU bogie. The track magnet is situated in between
two rails. The distance of the both EM and TM from rail inner edge is 283 +40mm
along center. The vertical clearance of EM is kept as 175 + 0 / -5 mm for 1969 stock.
183.5 + 0 /-5 mm for ICF stock, If 180.5 + 0 / -5 mm 1963 stock from rail level.

2.3 Opto coupler card: ( Ref. fig. No. 2.3 ). Opto coupler card helps selection of particular
Oscillator in track magnet depending on aspect of the signal. The tuned oscillator in
turn generates audible range frequencies.
The signal aspect bulbs are lit by a supply across secondary of signal transformer.
This supply is 12V (9 to 20 V). The same is fed to a rectifier and is taken to an LED.
Light emitted by LED is fed to base of photo transistor, the cathode of photo transistor
is fed from power coil of track magnet through terminal No. 6. The particular LED lights
up, the corresponding photo sensitive transistor, is switched on and supply is fed to
corresponding two oscillators through diodes and oscillator generates frequency
which is modulated on 100 kHz coil. This is picked up by engine magnet 100kHz coil
and sent to central equipment where it is demodulated, filtered, amplified for use by
relevant cards and the microprocessor. The oscillators energized correspond to signal
aspect.

2.4 The track magnet:

The track magnet top surface is in level with rail. The track magnet has three
chambers. The first chamber contains 50 kHz coil and tuned circuit. There is also a coil
in series with 50 kHz coil to nullify mutual induction effect of other coils in the magnet.
The second chamber contains oscillators tuned to different frequencies.

 Annexure of Spec no. RDSO/PE/SPEC/D/EMU/0190–2017 (Rev.0) issued in August'2017

Frequencies used are in audible range and have frequencies as under:

F1 2800 Hz +/- 71 F2 3600 Hz. +/- 71

F3 4400 Hz +/- 71 F4 5200 HZ +/- 71
F5 6000 Hz +/- 71 F6 6800 Hz +/- 80
F7 7600 Hz +/- 89

When engine ma`gnet passes over track magnet, dip is experienced in EM coil current
due to tuned circuit in track magnet.

The third chamber consists of power coil, modulator card and 100kHz coil with tuned
circuit. The 100 kHz frequency is used as a carrier for audible range frequency, which
is modulated over it. The amplitude modulation is done in modulator card. Supply for
the oscillators is received from power coil, in which it is induced from engine magnet
coils and approximately 12V supply is obtainable. This is fed to oscillators through
point No. 6 of the coupler. The oscillator circuit is completed through opto coupler card.

2.4.1 Track magnets used in the system are of two types:

Type ‘A’ denotes magnet used with normal signals and type ‘B’ are those used for
getting fixed frequency. Type ‘A’ will carry frequencies from F1 to F5 in combination
of F2. Also at gates signal combination of F1,F2,F6 is used.
Type ‘B’ are used for fixed information like F4, F5 or F6. Speed restrictions for
engineering work, curves etc. are not being imposed through AWS at present. The
circuit of opto coupler cards used on normal signals depends on type of signal like 3
aspect, 4 aspect or use of auxiliaries like shunt signal, calling on signal, A marker etc.

2.4.2 The track and engine magnets are supposed to be water tight to prevent / stop
nonfunctioning or malfunctioning during flooding conditions. They are tested for this
property by feeding 9.5kg/cm2 air pressure for one minute and dipping in water. There
should not be any pressure drop, failing which corrective action has to be taken. The
leakage source is identified and proper sealing is done.

2.5 The Engine Magnet: -

It acts as follows: -

(i) It acts as a power sources for track magnet.

(ii) It performs supervisory function of detecting presence of track magnet

by dip in current of 50 kHz coil as explained.

(iii) It receives modulated frequency and transmits it to central processing

unit.

It has two tuned coils.

(i) 50 kHz coil.

(ii) 100 kHz coil.

50 kHz coil is fed across elemex terminal No. 1 and 2 and 100 kHz coil is fed across
elemex terminal No. 3 and 4 ( refer fig. No. 2.2 ) The frequencies are received from
frequency generator card B1 in which crystal oscillator generates 400 kHz. Through
frequency deviders 100 kHz and 50 kHz supply is tapped and fed to engine magnet.

2.5.1 Current drawn by coils is measured during tests. In case of engine magnet, the current
is measured on points provided in B1 card and specified values are given below:

Socket 1-3 200 + / - 20 milli Amps.
Socket 5-7 350 + / - 25 milli Amps.
The actual measurement is across one ohm Resistance and Voltage drop is
measured.

2.6 Cascading: -
Cascading in signalling language means assuming lower signal aspect by a signal in
case of fusing of bulb of higher aspect. But under this condition the AWS opto coupler
card would have assumed lower aspects. This is prevented by blocking circuit in opto
coupler card. For example, consider fusing of green signal bulbs on three-aspect
signal. Frequencies corresponding to green are F3, F4. Now due to cascading signal
will assume yellow aspect. Frequency corresponding to yellow are F1, F4. As soon as
yellow bulb lights the transistor shorts LED corresponding to green aspect and end
result is achieved. However in case of double yellow signal, fusing of bulb does result
in frequency corresponding to yellow signal aspect.

2.7 Out of 7 frequency two are used at a time to communicate particular signal aspect.
Thus, 21 information’s can be fed. Their utilization is given below. However, all
combinations are not being used presently, Frequencies at sr. No. 6,7 and 11, 12, 14
and 21 are not used.

CHAPTER – 3

AWS PERIPHERALS

3.1 The Tachogenerator:-

It is provided to measure speed of the train and its direction of movement. It is

provided on right hand axle end driving coach. The working principle is as follows:

3.1.1 The Tachogenerator has a toothed rotor. It is connected to axle of EMU through axle
attachment. The rotation of rotor varies inductance of LC resonant circuit, which is
housed in TG assembly. The inductively working scanning heads detune each time
one oscillator and thus frequency is modulated. This is then converted into voltage
change in discriminator card; subsequently schimil trigger generates square wave
output, depending on voltage changes. See diag. 3-1.

Discrimination is made in forward and reverse movement by phase displacement of

two oscillators. The displacement is of order of T/4. i.e. the outputs of two oscillators
are out of phase with each other by T/4.

3.1.2 24V supply is fed to Tacho oscillators from elmex terminal No. 13 and 11 and pulses
are received at terminal No. 12 and 14 from channel. 1 & 2. Channel 1 & 2 means
pulses received from oscillator circuit 1 & 2. The oscillator sensors are placed 1.25
pole apart. On receipt of pulses HQ LED on card B4 – A1 extinguishes and W1 LED
starts flickering. Non-receipt of tacho pulses results in emergency brake application
which cannot be reset by reset push button on indication panel. (See diag. 3.2 and
3.2A)

3.1.3 Distance travelled is measured taking into account No. of pulses per unit time and
wheel diameter setting in distance evaluator card.

3.2 Indication Panel : (IP)

The indication panel is placed adjacent to brake controller and consist of following:-

1. Signal failure bypass button (SFBB)

2. Reset push button (RESET)
3. Vigilance push button (VPS)
4. Signal failure bypass counter (SFBC)
5. Emergency brake counter (SBC)
6. White lamp
7. Blue lamp (Blue glass, White lamp)
8. Yellow light (LED)
9. Red light (LED)

12 core cable terminates on amphenol coupler of indication panel.

SSE/PS&EMU SSE/PS&EMU DSE/PS&EMU
 Annexure of Spec no. RDSO/PE/SPEC/D/EMU/0190–2017 (Rev.0) issued in August'2017
Corresponding terminal Nos. of elemex terminal are also indicated in diag.3.3.

The panel is meant for driver to communicate with central equipment and provides him
with visual indications. ( See diag.3-3)

3.3 Brake Actuating Unit:- (BAU)

It acts on braking system of EMU to apply EP or emergency brakes. (See diag. 3-4
and 3-5)
It consist of following:-
(i) Emergency braking reverse relay (EBRR)
(ii) Emergency braking normal relay (EBNR)
(iii) Service braking relay (SBR)
(iv) Brake control relay (BCR)

3.3.1 The first three relays operate on 24V where as BCR operates on 110V DC.
Emergency braking reverse relay and emergency braking normal relay are normally in
picked up condition where AWS equipment is functioning and is in operation. Dropping
of EB(R)R results in emergency brake operation as its normally open interlock is in
series with magnet valve coils, operation of EB(R) also results in operation of EP
brakes as normally open interlock of EB(R)R de-energises BCR. Dropping of BCR
results in closing its normally closed interlock and operation of EP relays. When only
service brakes are to be applied BCR is opened through SBR normally closed interlock
to give EP brake application.

3.3.2 In original design EB(R)R and EB(N)R were mechanically interlocked so that when
control supply is switched off by driver at terminating station, EB(N)R operate first and
dropping of EB(R)R was prevented by mechanical latch. A condenser was used for
providing time lag in operation. This arrangement was however not satisfactory and
now electrical interlocking has been provided i.e.

(i) In parallel with normally open interlock of EB(R)R in BCR circuit normally
closed interlock of EB(N)R is provided.

(ii) In magnet valve circuit normally closed interlock of EB (N)R is provided in

parallel with EB(R)R normally open interlock. This ensures that magnet valve remains
energized even when control switch is switched off.

(iii) Supply of SBR coil is taken through EB (N) R normally open interlock to
prevent EP application when control key is out off.

3.3.3 The relay designated as SBR is used for service brake application. It is normally in de-
energized condition and picks up when AWS applied service brakes. These are
normally applied when speed exceeds set limit by 5 to 10 KMPH.

3.4 The BAU is connected with CE through a 12 core cable.

There is also an inter-coupler between SAU and ISU. The brake output is controlled
through B8 Al card and service brake application through B6 AI card.

3.5 Isolating Switch:

This is meant for isolating AWS and connecting AWS with EMU. It consists of Isolating
switch, isolation counter, LEDs in ISU to show availability of control supply, supply to
magnet valves, supply to master controller and actuation of EP brakes. It also has
MCBs 1,2,3 & 4 which operate simultaneously. (See diag. 3.6)

Availability of 110V DC supply is indicated by Yellow LEDs. The first Green LED
shows availability of supply of master controller. Both Red LEDs are energized during
EP application. The first will indicate supply to wire No. 3601-holding relay and second
to wire No. 3602 the application relay.

The counter indicates isolation No. The isolation switch should normally be kept on
and sealed and should be operated only during emergency to switch off the AWS unit.

The functions of other contacts of the isolation switch have already been discussed in
chapter 5. The diagram attached is self-explanatory. In case of a defect on EMUs like
train not moving the LEDs should be checked to know availability of control supply and
supply to master controller.

4.8 Various setting required to be done in Central equipment are as under:

4.8.1 Setting the wheel diameter:

The wheel diameter setting is required to be done for purpose of distance evaluation
i.e. distance traveled over a length of time. The operation of different switches in
combination, result in different wheel diameter setting. This switch is situated on front
plate of distance evaluation card. i.e. B4 A1, PCB. The cover of the switch should be
opened with a screwdriver. It is a dual in line (DIL) type switch. Switches are ‘ON’ in
top position. The eight micro switches may be set after verifying wheel dia. from wheel
section and referring chart showing switch numbers and wheel dia..

4.8.2 Setting the switch “Change of Direction:”

There is switch along lower edge and is meant for change of direction of travel. The
switch No. 3 here is meant for change of direction since all tacho have been mounted
right hand side axle. Generally this switch is not required to be operated.

4.8.3 Setting the switch “Brake curve No. and Max. speed”
These are set on DIL switches in card B10 A1. These switches are in one row, these
are:-

E – Express / EMU
P – Passenger
G – Goods.

This type of switches are known as dual in line type switches. We have to use E switch
for EMUs. On this switch following setting have been done.

a. Brake curves No.

b. Maximum speed.

a. Brake curve number:

It signifies deceleration rate of vehicle, switch No. 1 to 4 of E switch should be used.

We are at present using brake curve number 13 on W. Rly. EMUs. Worst loading
conditions, permissible brake cylinder isolation and overlap distance at signal should
be taken into account while deciding brake curve number for acceleration.

CHAPTER –5
INTERFACING OF AWS IN EMUs

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS :

5.1 AWS needs 110V DC supply from EMU, for its operations. The supply has been taken
from junction box in driving cab across wire No. 16 and 29. The DC supply from
junction box is however not very smooth and disturbances caused due to various
electrical operations in EMUs, cause malfunctioning of AWS. Supply is now being
given from battery fuse through wires SP8, SP9 in jumper B.

5.2 Details of terminal bar in junction box: ( Refer diag. 5.1)

A malamine terminal bar provided in junction box for AWS purpose has 7 terminals.
Wire No. 16 is taken to terminal No.1 of ISU. Wire No. 1609B comes from master
controller and passes out through ISU via BCR interlock to become 1609A and is
taken to deadman contact. Terminal No.6 & 7 of ISU given supply to 3601 & 3602 for
EP circuit. Note that on terminal for magnet valves, there is no shorting strip, instead
supply coming from ISU passes through 2.5Amps. MCB to magnet valves. All
negatives are on one terminal and are connected to terminal 2 of ISU.

5.3 Supply to AWS Central processing unit (Refer diag.5.2)

DC supply is fed to central processing unit of AWS at terminal No. 55 & 58 on elmex
terminal in CE. The feed on terminal No. 58 is through Driver control switch.
Availability of control supply can be verified by lit green LED in ISU (see diag.5.3)

5.4 Supply to Master Controller :( Refer diag.5.3) wherever AWS applies brakes on
EMUs, it is essential to cut off supply to master controller for obvious reasons. The
existing circuit of supply to master controller has therefore been modified as under:
It may be seen that supply to Master Controller is through ISU contact in AWS ‘OFF’
position. In AWS ‘ON’ condition the supply is through BCR interlock which opens out
during service and emergency braking. Green LED in ISU indicates availability of
supply to master controller.

5.5 Supply to magnet valves, (Refer diag.5.4)

The AWS needs two magnet valves. Both the magnet valves are permanently
energized. In AWS ‘OFF’ condition the supply to valves is through ISU contact and in
AWS ‘ON’ condition, through EB(R) R interlocks. Whenever emergency brakes are
required to be applied by AWS, supply to magnet valves is cut off, by EB(R) R
interlock. When M/Man changes end at terminating station i.e. switches off control key,
EB (N)R operates first to maintain supply to valves. EB(R) R operates subsequently
and this time delay prevents brake application. The time delay is achieved by a
condenser in coil of EB(R)R.
One magnet valve is known as ‘feed cut off’ valve and another is known as “Brake pipe
exhaust valve”. “Feed cut off valve” is used for charging brake pipe and is similar to
application magnet valve of EMUs i.e. when energized it permits air to pass through.

15

Prepared by Checked by
SSE/PS&EMU SSE/PS&EMU DSE/PS&EMU
 Annexure of Spec no. RDSO/PE/SPEC/D/EMU/0190–2017 (Rev.0) issued in August'2017
Whenever brakes are applied, Brake pipe charging is prevented by the de-energizing
the feed cut off magnet valve. The other magnet valve is also de-energized when
brakes are applied. It connects brake pipe to exhaust and in turn operates emergency
brake valve. The operation of the valve has a similar effect as blowing of pilot valve in
master controller. Its operation is similar to holding magnet valve in EP unit i.e. when
energized it blocks exhaust of air.

5.6 Supply to EMU EP brakes, (Ref. diag.5.5)

When EP brakes or emergency brakes are applied BCR is de- energized and its
normally closed interlocked link. 110V supply to wire No. 3601 and 3602, to apply EP
brakes on EMU. The lighting of Red LEDs indicates application of EP brakes.

5.7 Supply to Brake Control Relay (BCR): (Refer diag.5.6)

This relay is connected across 110V supply permanently. It is an important relay since
it controls supply to master controller and application of brakes through AWS. It may
be seen that supply passes through MCB 1 of ISU and then through ISU / BAU inter
coupler, SBR normally closed interlock and EB (R) R normally open interlock. There is
normally closed interlock of EB (N) R across EB(R) R interlock to ensure that while
driver changes end at terminating station i.e. switches off control switch, BCR is not
de-energized and AWS does not apply brakes. Further, supply passes through BCR
normally closed self-interlock, across which an economizing resistances has been
provided. Further, the supply is taken through BCR coil, ISU/BAU inter coupler and to
negative through MCB2 of ISU. A free wheeling diode has been provided across BCR
coil.
5.8 It may be seen that 110V DC supply is used in power supply cards for making
available 24V, 12V and 5V DC supplies to AWS system. These are used for different
purposes as follows:
24V Relays EB, RR, ES, NR, SBR indication panel etc.
12V CMOS circuitory of various cards.
5V TTL circuitory in control cards.

5.9 PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS:

These are needed for implementing emergency braking on EMUs. In rakes fitted with
AWS equipment brake pipe is charged through feed cut off magnet valve which is
normally energized. The valve is similar to application magnet valve.
When AWS applies brakes the valve is de-energized and brake pipe charging is
stopped. In case of AWS isolation, Isolating cock is provided across feed cut off valve
to cater for emergency conditions, so that brake pipe charging is not interrupted.
EP exhaust magnet valve is also normally energized and prevents exhaust of B.P.
pressure. When AWS operates to initiates brake application, the valve is de-energized.
The brake pipe pressure is then connected to exhaust to apply emergency brakes. The
cock provided in exhaust circuit is in series with the valve. In case of defect in the
system, the cock can be closed to prevent exhaust of brake pipe pressure. The
operation of this valve is very similar to operation of pilot valve. Both apply brakes after
initiating operation of emergency valve.

CHAPTER- 6
AWS OPERATION

The chapter deals with AWS operation from driver’s point of view.

6.1 In order to understand the AWS operation, we have to first study indication panel.
6.2.0 Indication panel consists of followings: -
6.2.1 Signal failure by pass button (SFBB)
This button is used only in case of failure of a signal. This permits train to pass over
defective signal without application of emergency brakes. The button must be operated
in stand – still condition and within 100 mtrs. distance in rear of the signal.
6.2.2 Signal failure by pass counter (SFBC)
No. of operations of SFBB are recorded by this counter.
6.2.3 Reset: This is used for releasing emergency brakes. The push button is effective only
in stand-still condition.
6.2.4 Emergency braking counter (EBC)
It counts number of emergency brake applications.
6.2.5 Vigilance push button:
This is required to be operated by driver when he passes yellow or permissive red
signal. On passing these signals audible warning is heard and within 4 second, the
driver must press vigilance push button, failing which emergency brakes are applied.
If push button is kept pressed earlier than required, its action is not registered.
The driver can also perform functional test by pressing the vigilance push button for
10 seconds in stand – still condition.
6.2.6 Blue indication lamp:
This lamp is lit steady when AWS is `ON`. On passing green signal and double yellow
signal the lamp extinguishes for about 5 seconds and reappears. Flashing of this lamp
means fault in power supply, speed check or speed evaluation equipment.
6.2.7 White indication lamp:
This lamp is normally lit steady. On switching on it flashes and becomes steady.
Continuous flashing of this lamp means fault in control card. The lamp before
becoming steady on switching `ON ` must flash twice, failing which fault in control
card is indicated.
6.2.8 Yellow, indication lamp:
This is a set of LEDs and is normally off. It is lit steady if yellow signal is passed. After
passing 290 mtrs. it starts flashing (1:1) and remains flashing upto 800 mtrs. distance.
Also on passing yellow signal with inter-signal distance more than 700 mtrs. the lamp
flashes slowly (7:1) till it passes additional magnet.
6.2.9 Red indication lamp:
It is also a set of LEDs normally off and is lit steady if permissible red signal is passed
or emergency brakes are applied.
The red lamp flashes if service braking takes place or if signal failure by pass
button is pressed in standstill condition.

6.3.0 The following are also provided in driving cab: -

6.3.1 Hooter:
It sounds when vigilance push button is required to be pressed. It also sounds when
emergency brakes are applied or train moves in reverse direction 2mtrs. or more.
It sounds intermittently if speed exceeds by 1 KMPH. than permissible speed at any
stage .

This has been kept disconnected at present.

6.3.3 Isolating switch :

This switch is used for switching off AWS equipment, in case of defect in the system.
