Electrical
General The electrical auxiliary system provides the electrical power to operate all electric loads on the Waratah train Set. Electrical auxiliaries consist of control and lighting power network to distribute control and lighting power to operate and control the Set. Control and Lighting Batteries Lead Acid GEL cell batteries are use for the battery banks. The batteries are fully sealed, non-spilling, can operate in any orientation, and are thus suitable for use for emergency illumination during 'vehicle rollover' situations. These batteries provide power to emergency loads/lights when no overhead 1500V DC power supply is available. Individual lighting batteries are provided in each Car to operate emergency ventilation and lighting even in the event of Car separation and / or rollover. Lighting System When there is no OHW voltage, the 110VDC lights will operate directly from the battery supply in that Car. Isolation Points Before commencing any type of Emergency or Rescue Operation where the train has sustained severe damage or an electrical hazard exists the relevant power supply source has to be isolated by authorised personnel. This will normally be in the form of RailCorp Electrical Operating Centre isolating the area and the train crew isolating the train if possible. 1500V DC Supply The lowering of the pantographs on the train set will isolate the high voltage on the train. Lowering of the Pantograph will:

1.5.6 1.5.6.1

110V DC Supply Isolation The 110V DC supply is derived from the train batteries. Once the Pantograph is lowered the battery charging is stopped but 110VDC is still available on the train via pre-charged batteries. To isolate the battery supply, battery isolator switches in each car are provided for each battery set. To isolate the 110V DC, rotate the Battery isolation switch handle to the OFF position.

2.1.1.2

All doors have an alternate form of release or opening for emergency purposes. Passenger Door Operation in an Emergency To open the door manually in case of emergency, two diagonally opposite passenger body-side doors (Figure 13) of each car are equipped with an Emergency Door Release (EDR) (Figure 14). These doors are additionally equipped with an EDR to enter the train from outside. During normal train operations, the EDR is available. The external and internal EDR act on the same mechanism and makes possible the opening of the door in case of emergency. The door mechanism is uncoupled mechanically so that the door can be opened manually. The emergency devices and can either be engaged (EDR available) or disengaged (EDR unavailable). The passenger will know if the emergency device is engaged if during the second stroke an increase of the force is noticed and notice that the door will start to unlock and unplug.

fully unlock and unplug the door. Starting with the second handle stroke the ratchet system is engaged and the doors will start unlocking and unplugging. After the third stroke the doors can manually be pushed out and slid open, the force to push out the doors is high. After the fourth stroke the doors are further unlocked and unplugged and can be pushed out with less force. The handle strokes five to nine will further unplug the doors and progressively reduce the force to push and slide the door open. 2.1.4 2.1.4.1 EDR Operation Set on side The emergency door release is designed to permit unlocking and door opening using the EDR when the vehicle is on its side. When the car is on its side the ratchet will experience more load and will have to operate the handle a maximum twelve times to fully unlock and unplug the door. The entire twelve strokes will be required to be completed to ensure the doors are fully unplugged to permit the doors to be slid open.

An EDR Handle will not be active immediately after the EDR cover is opened, once a passenger opens the EDR panel, following set of actions occur:
a. b.

The EDR comes under CCTV surveillance The Passenger will be connected to the guard via the PEI

2.1.9.3

The guard may instead use the passenger door controls to allow passengers to egress, rather than enabling the EDR. The guard is presented with an indicator (EDR cover open), to which two alternative actions are provided (Allow or Inhibit). If inhibited, the guard can then later choose to either Allow EDR. If the guard chooses allow, no further interaction is required, and the EDR operated indicator will illuminate once the EDR has been operated.
