------------ Inside the "LHB Generator Car/Power Car" of all "LHB AC Premium Trains" ---------
Brief description about the LHB Generator Car/Power Car: There are Two generators in each car. The control panel offers several functions to monitor electrical load at different locations in rake, temperature and most notably the axle speed (in Kms/hr) of generator car. Which means a train have 2 EOG Vans and 4 Generators(Two in each cars of both ends). It is to be noted that the 2 generators of each car are not "Switched On" simultaneously. The generators are functioning in the following manner:
Suppose...
more... for example 12313 SDAH Rajdhani have "Generator 1" of the First Car(Just after the Engine) is on and "Generator 2" of last EOG(Guard Van) is on to supply the "Power" to the "Entire Train" on her way to Delhi, that is in "Up" direction. Now when this train will return back from Delhi i.e in 12314 Dn Rajdhani Exp "Generator 2" will be on of the First Power Car(Just after the Engine) and "Generator 1" of last EOG(Guard Van) will be on to supply the "Power" to the "Entire Train" on her way back to SDAH. Because "Generator 1" of 1st car and "Generator 2" of last car will be in "Rest" when the train will return from New Delhi except the malfunctioning or technical problem of the other one in each EOG of the train.
Source of functioning of Generators: The "Staff" of the "Generator Van" of 12259 NDLS durnto told me about this functioning of Generators of EOGs during my NDLS trip in this train in last July. The Generator Operator of NDLS duronto was a "Very friendly Person" and a "Resident" of West Bengal. I and my father had a "Long Chat" regarding this functioning of EOGs during my NDLS trip in last July. It is needless to say that the "Pantry Staffs" of NDLS Duronto were very amicable and helpful. They helped us a lot in "Serving Black Tea" which is generally not served in NDLS Duronto.( I have already described my trip report in NDLS Duronto on 16.07.2014 in /blog/post/1350390)
