The outputs are used to energize two separate track circuits made up of the straight and the diverging part of the switch within an OS-section. Track circuits play important role in stop accidents, traffic. The os-Boss dcx2 is a dual DC-DC converter that is typically powered by 12 to 14 VDC, that is converted to two electrically isolated. Nowadays for signaling purposes, trains are monitored automatically by means of TRACK CIRCUIT. Track circuits are categorized as DC Track circuits, AC Track circuits, and Electronic Track circuits (AFTC). DC Track circuits are the simplest, least costly, and most reliable type of track circuit. Track switches in railroad switchyards, control points and other locations, may be 'thrown' remotely by operating personnel or a computer.
#Os track circuits trial#
The project, which will be run as a trial project will be installed at 10 locations at an estimated cost of 73 crore rupees in the first phase. An OS-section is trackage that includes a track switch plus limited additional track beyond the fouling point and before the switchpoints. The new system, which uses high-speed infrared and digital cameras, will replace a physical examination of the wagons by railway staff. Also he or she should have a basic understanding of signal systems, track circuits, and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) rules. When current flows in from the track via terminal 1, it is blocked by Diode 2, but carried by Diode 1, allowing Relay 1 to energise. separate polarities are split using the two diodes. Indian Railways is installing state-of-art technology along train tracks to detect of faults and defective parts in coaches, wagons, and locomotives. The following circuit diagram shows how the track is connected to the two relays. Its working length is dependent on the immunity of the track relay. Track circuit does not get shunted properly by vehicles. Do not Test the track circuit by shunting with a wire only. Replace the damaged and corroded bonding wires. Change the relay which is due to for overhauling. The OS track circuit 13 may consist of bus interface circuits, a DC to DC converter and a Hall effect current sensor. Top up distilled water if the electrolyte level is low in batteries. Those sections of the track circuit in which occupation by a vehicle cannot be detected. 0.25 s (in special cases 0.When a train occupies the track circuit portion, the axel & wheels shunt the track much of the circuit current is passed through the wheels due to less resistive path and very less current is available for track relay, which is not sufficient enough to pick up the relay.ġ.
