How do you isolate a panto? And do you need special permission to do so? Why? |
Stable the train and note that the pantos have lowered Go to the T car and turn the three way switch to the manual lower and isolate Turn the crank handle anti clockwise to lower Submit TMM
You need special permission from TC, because isolating a panto means that you are running in a degraded mode as you have lost your high voltage and low voltage system, only have battery power for that unit : HIGH RISK |
|
|
When there is a loss of overhead, will the pantos drop? |
No as the electric panel motor will stay mechanically locked in the raised position |

Go into each cab and find the 1 or more traction eq fault light by activating the cab, turn that cabs traction isolate switch to isolate to extinguish the light
The traction fault light will remain illuminated only where the fault is |
|
