FAULT CODE
1021
FAULT MESSAGE Rectifier Blower Failed or RBB Breaker OFF.
RESTRICTIONS
Engine RPM and Power Limited to 4th Notch.
ALARM BELL
30 Sec.
RESET LEVEL
Medium, Manual
After manual reset if the fault still present, the fault will be generated
again.
FAULT
RECOVERY
Autometic when Rectifier blower Breaker is switched ON.
PROBABLE
CAUSES
1. The Rectifier Blower Breaker is in switched OFF / tripped position.
Note
: Probably this fault message will be logged in locomotives
equipped with self-cooled rectifiers and having thermal protection for
the diodes.
FAULT
ISOLATION
1. If the Rectifier Blower Breaker is in switched OFF / Tripped position,
switch ON / reset the breaker. 9 numbered Green and Yellow LEDs
on the digital input card in slot 12 indicate the status of the Rctifier
Blower Breaker. With RBB in ON position, Both LEDs should be ON.
2. If the Green LED is not ON, then
A. Check supply at wire terminals 50AA and 4 on the backside TB.
B. If the voltage is zero, then the breaker is defective or wire 55A
between RRB to backside TB is open circuited. Check up and
replace.
C. If voltage is > 65V, then rectifier blower should work. If rectifier
blower is not working, check up the voltage at same wire
terminals on rectifier TB.
a) If voltage is zero, then the wire 55A or 4 wire between
backside TB and Rectifier TB is open circuited. Check and
replace.
b) If Voltage is > 65 V, then check up with blower / Rectifier
wiring.
D. If the 9 numbered Green LED is OFF, then the wire No. RBBFB
from backside TB and MEP-660 is open circuited. Check up and
replace the wires.
E. If the Green LED and 9 numbered Yellow LED on Digital input
card in slot 12 is OFF, then digital input card is defective. Check
and replace.
