Advance Correction Slip No.12 Dated 28th April, 2005

The following may be added as a new item (a) in the existing Para 20830
Vol. II (Para I)

PaI'a 20830(a)- Temporal>' Speed Restrictions

The instructions regarding sped restriction, in electri fled sections are being
notified under GR-17.09. The temporary speed restrictions shall be imposed by
Electrical(TRD) Deptt, as per GR-4.09 wherein a caution order shall be banded
over to driver at the stopping station immediately short of the place where such
precautions are necessary. While imposing temporary speed restrictions, the
following guidelines shall generally be followed: -

(i) Whenever temporary mast is provided, speed restriction of about 15-40 krnph is
imposed: depending upon the site conditions. Then the new mast is provided, the
;. foundation of which takes about 5/6 days for curing and after that only OHE is
shifted to the new mast. -Total time taken in this process is about 10 days from
the date-of imposition of speed restriction depending upon the availability of
blocks. ' :
"',.~

Whenever mast gets bent due to.accidents etc. same is straightened using trifor.
Speed restriction of about' 30-60 krnph is imposed depending upon site
conditions/stagger profile. Bent is removed during next 3-4 days depending upon
.. the availability of blocks.

, (iii), Whenever there is extensive damage to 0[-1E due to Pan to entanglement etc. but
, not affecting the masts, or-IE is attended by using temporary droppers etc. and
speed restrictions of about 30-60 kmph is imposed depending upon site
conditions and restoration of sectional speed takes about 4 days depending upon

.
the extejit of damage and block availability .

(Sample)

Section: Tundla-Delhi North Central Railway

Length 292RKM Gauge 1676 111m

I. Total track kms electrified section - 650

2. Brief particulars of traction system: -

The type of Over I-lead Equipment installed on main line of the section is of the simple
polygonal type with swiveling brackets having tensions in the conductors regulated
automatically. The tension in the catenary and contact wire is kept as 1000 kgf each. The
contact wire has been given a pre sag of 103 111mfor a span of 72 m (suitably reduced for
smaller spans). On secondary lines and yards, the Over Head Equipment is of fixed type
and unregulated. The contact wire is grooved hard drawn copper with 107 sq. 111m cross
section supported by means of copper droppers from catenary which is stranded (1912.10
rnm) with 65 sq. 111m cross section made up of cadmium copper having 80%
conductivity. The maximum wind pressure- for design of masts and foundation has been
taken kg/sqrn. Maximum sPJl1 adopted on main lines is- 63 m. The Over Head
Equipment has been designed for a maximum speed of 160 km/h,

The power supply is taken from UPSEB at a single point viz. Aligarh from where railways
run their own transmission lines, for feeding the Sub Stations located at Haihras, Khurja
and Sahibabad. At eci&:hof the sub stations two power transformers 12.5 MVA, 132/25
KV are installed, one of them acting as standby. Standard arrangement of having neutral
of normal/short PTFE type have been provided at the sectioning post between two sub
stations for separation of phases. For sectioning and isolating facilities, sub sectioning
and paralleling posts have been provided. All the switching operations at power supply
stations are remote controlled from a single remote control center located at Tundla, The
RCC/SCADA system has been provided by (Manufacturer) and is or
........... Type (Microprocessor/PC based). The same will be commissioned by
(Target date, if not commissioned at the time of making application to CRS).
