Installation, Testing and Commissioning of SSBPAC (D)

1.1 Introduction
This handbook contains guidelines on installation, testing and commissioning of Efftronics make
SSBPAC (D) in reference to Fundamentals of SSBPAC (D) & System Description of Efftronics
SSBPAC (D) issued in July 2022. The installation, testing and commissioning of SSBPAC (D)
are important stages as unless the system is not installed and tested properly, its flawless
performance after commissioning cannot be ascertained. There are various steps involved in the
above process such as site survey, estimation of additional inputs and interface wiring, circuit
alterations in existing installation, equipment wiring, various types of testing, compliance as per
pre-commissioning check list etc. The details of these processes are given in following
paragraphs.

1.2 Strategy for installation, wiring, testing & commissioning of SSBPAC D

There are four scenarios– for commissioning of SSBPAC D. Strategy for each type is given
below.

1.2.1 Existing block instrument replacement by SSBPAC D in Relay Interlocking

(i) To wire inputs to SSBPAC D, spare contacts in the existing relays shall be used. Where
spare relays are not available repeater relays are to be picked up.
(ii) By this block instrument working can be tested – except for removal of existing block
conditions and including new block conditions in Advanced starter signal control circuit.
(iii) Advanced starter circuit alteration can be done during disconnection.

1.2.2 SSBPAC D commissioning with Station Interlocking in Relay interlocking

Since station interlocking and SSBPAC D are going to be commissioned at a time – installation,
wiring, testing, and commissioning can be done along with station interlocking.

1.2.3 Existing block instrument replacement by SSBPAC D in Electronic Interlocking

(i) Four output relays of EI - ASRR, HSRR, ASGNCR & HSGNCR – which are to be wired
as input relays to SSBPAC D are to be wired first
(ii) Output relay of SSBPAC D, ASCR – which must be wired as input to EI has to be wired

Installation, Testing & Commissioning –Efftronics SSBPAC-D Page 1 of 54

Table of Contents
 CAMTECH/S&T/2022-23/ITC-SSBPAC-D/1.0 September 2022

(iii) Other 3 input relays of SSBPAC D – i.e., HSATPR, HSBTPR & AZTR – are also to be
wired with spare contacts of the existing relays
(iv) Output relays – ASRR, HSRR, ASGNCR & HSGNCR – operation can be simulated with
switches – to test SSBPAC D
(v) After testing with simulation – EI logic can be changed, and testing can be done with EI
outputs and input

1.2.4 SSBPAC D commissioning with Station Interlocking in electronic Interlocking

Since station interlocking and SSBPACD are going to be commissioned at a time – installation,
wiring, testing, and commissioning can be done along with station interlocking

1.3 Pre-site visit

To prepare a proper strategy and avoid last minute hassle during commissioning, a pre-site visit
is performed. The outcomes of pre-site visit are:
 Smooth and timely commissioning of SSBPAC D and
 Trouble free working leading to its maximum availability

Items to be considered for pre-site visit

(i) Identification of space for placement of equipment
(ii) Checking communication medium and power supply requirements
(iii) Estimation of interface wiring – station interlocking relay contacts required as input to
SSBPAC D. Circuit changes in advanced starter circuit for usage of SSBPAC D output
[ASCR] in station interlocking
(iv) Estimation of additional inputs to be wired to data logger and spare capacity availability
(v) Spare ports in data logger to collect diagnostic data of SSBPAC & ACCU
(vi) Checking for competency of operating staff [possession of competency certificate]

3 Maintainer Maintainer -- On maintainer table – for comfortable
Terminal room operation and viewing
4 GPS module Relay room – -- Wall mounted near window such that
with receiver wall distance between GPS receiver & module
is least

1.3.2 Checking for communication medium and power supply requirements

(i) Ensure at least two communication media is available between two stations
(ii) Estimate laying of communication cable between telecom room and relay room to extend
the channels to SSBPAC D
(iii) Cater for a separate 24 V, 5A DC – DC converter with standby converter in IPS
(iv) In case of conventional supply plan for 80 AH battery with 24 V 10 Amp auto charger
(v) Measure earth resistance - if it is more than 2 ohms, take action to reduce it to 2 ohms.

1.3.3 Estimation of interface wiring

Check for spare contacts of station interlocking relays for proving in input interface circuit of
SSBPAC D.

Annexure D – Miscellaneous information useful in installation of SSBPAC D

(A) Magnetic LATCH relay

Neutral relay working principle:
 Neutral relay has one coil – if supply is given to the coil, relay picks up – when supply is
cut off, relay drops
Magnetic latch relay working principle:
 Magnetic latch relay has two coils – operating / reverse coil, release / normal coil
 In addition, it has permanent magnet at the heal of the core
 When supply is given to operating / reverse coil relay picks up – it remains picked up
even after supply to operating / reverse coil is cut off – with the help of flux of permanent
magnet
 To drop the relay, supply is given to release / normal coil - relay remains dropped even
after supply is cut off to release/normal coil – the flux of release coil works against the
flux of permanent magnet and drops the relay. The flux of permanent magnet is not
sufficient to pick up the relay – hence when once the relay drops, it cannot pick up unless
supply is given to operating coil
Two magnetic latch relays are used in SSBPAC D – for TGTR & TCFR. Two outputs are
generated by SSBPAC D to operate each magnetic latch relay. TGTR is operated at train
sending station and TCFR at train receiving station.

Annexure F
RDSO Technical Advisory Note No. STS/E/TAN/6001 Ver. 1.0 dated
04.10.2011- Digital Axle Counter- Wiring discipline

In order to overcome intermittent failures due to electromagnetic interference from parallel

circuits RDSO had issued a Technical Advisory Note No.TAN/6001 vide letter No.
STS/E/AC/Digital/GenI dated 04.10.2011:

1. Parallel circuits
a. Requirement is that parallel circuits shall be as far spaced, spatially, as possible. Long
parallel circuits shall be avoided in the same quad. So, one long and one short circuit can
be accommodated in same quad but not both long circuits.
b. DAC circuits in BPAC of UP and DN lines in double line sections shall be in separate
quads and kept one/two quad distance away from each other to avoid mutual interference
in long parallel circuits.
c. DAC circuits in location shall not be bunched along with parallel relay/power circuits.
Relay circuits are known to generate switching transients that can couple enough energy
in parallel circuits nearby and interfere with low power DAC data circuits.
d. Any other parallel wiring (relay circuits/power circuits/earthing wires etc) shall cross
DAC circuits at perpendicular and any parallel portion shall be kept at minimum 150
mm (lateral distance) away from the wiring for DAC circuits.
e. Relay circuits shall preferably not be taken in same cable as DAC circuits. In unavoidable
circumstances relay circuits shall be in furthest quad (spatially) from the one containing
DAC circuits.

Note: Relays driven by quad cables may be provided with free whelling diodes.

2. Twisting of cable pair

a. Twisted pairs are required to avoid mutual interference between low level data signals.
Even short lengths of non- twisting (few inches) can couple enough noise to interfere low
voltage DAC communication signals.
b. Quad cable twisting shall be ensured during termination so that minimum one twist per
inch is maintained till the last inch into terminations.
c. Any wiring from quad cable terminations to equipment shall be done using twisted
singles of indoor signal1ing cable (1 mm square) or any other approved indoor twisted
pair cable.
d. Signalling cable or any other untwisted cable pair shall never be used in DAC
communication circuits to avoid intermittent type of failure.

3. Wiring & Terminations

a. Preferably, quad cable shall be terminated in cage clamp type terminals that provide
solid 360 degree surface connection and sufficient pressure on the wire to make a good
electrical contact.
b. Cables shall be terminated at the bottom portion of location keeping equipment and their
wiring at higher level inside location. This will help in keeping wiring of different types
segregated from each other. All earth wires and surge protection devices also shall be
kept at the lower levels for the same reasons.
c. Wiring and cabling shall not be bent abruptly and shall be given sufficient bending
radius to ensure that conductors inside the cabling/wiring are not damaged due to
bending.
d. Wiring shall be properly supported by channels troughing, cable clamps and other
means to ensure that connections are not under pressure due to wire hang.
e. Wiring and cabling shall not be supported at any sharp edged object to ensure that
conductors are not damaged during their installation/maintenance.

4. Continuity and Earthing of cable armor & screen at intermediate terminations/ Joints
a. Screening of quad cable is effective only when sufficient induced current can flow in the
screen thereby cancelling/reducing the induction from 25KV AC for the cable
conductors. For adequate induced current to flow in screen, it is necessary that good
earth connections are provided for cable screen & armor.
b. Quad cable screen & armor shall be made electrically continuous at the intermediate
terminations/joints by soldering and connecting both ends of cable screens & amours at
the locations.
c. Connections to screen shall preferably be made by thin metallic clamps soldered to
screens to ensure good surface connection for electrical continuity.
d. Combined Earth for armor and screen at intermediate locations shall have earth values as
low as possible but shall be never more than 5 ohms.
e. Earth connections shall be kept as short and as straight as possible because any loop or
turns can create inductive elements that impede quick discharge of transients and surges
to ground.
