PARAMETER
DESCRIPTION
FAULT CODE
1007
FAULT MESSAGE Power Circuit Ground Fault.
RESTRICTIONS
Motoring and Dynamic Brake Prohibited.
Engine speed restricted to Idle.
ALARM BELL
Continuous ON
RESET LEVEL
Medium, Manual
After manual reset if the fault still present, the fault will be generated
again.
FAULT
RECOVERY
Autometic when the traction alternator neutral to ground leakage
current value is reduced below the set limit and Master Handle is
brought to IDLE.
PROBABLE
CAUSES
1. The fault may be transient or permanent.
2. The Fault is automatically recovered after 15 seconds once the
throttle is brought to IDLE.
3. Driver can work further with out any trouble.
4. If the fault is recoring for more than 3 times in one hour, it
indicates fault is persisting and needs attention.
5. The fault is logged due to
A. Moisture in Traction Motors.
B. Flash over in Traction Motors
C. Cracked insulators on traction Traction Alternators / Traction
Motors / Power Rectifier / Dynamic brake grids / BKT / REV /
power contactors.
D. Any external metal parts touching to power terminals.
E. Any power circuit cables are rubbing to body and insulation is
damaged.
FAULT
ISOLATION
If the fault is recurring:
1. Set the display mode to ‘Mixed’ through Display Menu setup.
2. Apply Loco motive brakes and ensure locomotive brakes are
physically applied.
3. Set the locomotive operation to motoring mode and notch to 1.
4. Observe the traction alternator leakage current (TANGI) on the
display.
5. If the leakage cauurent ismore than set (0.4 Amps) value, then
there is a real ground.
A. Inspect traction alternator power circuit cables for any rubbing
to loco body. If so isolate the cables.
B. Inspect traction motor cables for any rubbing to locobody. If so
isolate the cables.
C. Check for any cracked insualators in the equipements as
mentioned above.
D. Check for any flash over / burnt marks in the power rectifier and
connected cables.
