Self Propelled Inspection Car (SPIC)

• In Indian Railways on a regular basis zonal headquarters and divisional headquarters officers undertake inspection of level crossings, over head equipment, tracks and stations. The idea of regular inspection is to ensure safety and better provision of passenger amenities. Hence an Inspection Coach is derived. Usually Inspection Coach is hauled by a locomotive – electric or diesel which requires deployment of a separate locomotive, which is not only a costly method, but also involves a lot of turnaround time in the process of engine reversal. For this purpose, A Self-Propelled Inspection Car is designed after modifing oldage 700HP DEMU which were not in use now a days. This not only helped railways to save lots of Revenue against every inspection events but also to release a costly locomotive resource for regular passenger train operations. Some of the salient features of the new Self-Propelled Inspection Car rake are: Seating capacity for 16 persons, Seprate Conference Room, Sleek Sofas, Staff Room, Swanky pantry equipment, Inverter Back-up, 700 HP Diesel-Electric power pack for propulsion, Bio Toilets, Direct and indirect LED interior lighting, Fully air-conditioned car including driving cab, Fans, Both Cab Synchronized for smooth operations from either sides.

Power Car Operation

• Power Car is a vehicle equipped with machinery for supplying heat or electrical power to other parts of a train. In a complete passanger rake Two power cars each equipped with 2×750 kVA DG sets, one at each end of the train, supplies 3 phase power at 750 V AC power to each electrically interconnected air conditioned coach. The voltage is stepped down to 3 phase 400 V and supplied to standard voltage equipment on each coach. EOG( End-on-Generation) system is followed for fully air conditioned train like Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duranto, Garib Rath, Premium special trains. LHB class of coaches is provided with the EOG system. As Gensets & Coupled Alternators are in continual use during moving trains, it not only requires monitoring during operations but also requires Schedule maintenance before the next round trip. We at ADD Hitech Services provides Services to Power Car Operations & Maintenance like Schedule & Periodic maintenance of Engine & Alternators before the next round trip, Maintenance of Power Control Pannel, Pannel Filters, Radiator Cleaning, Greasing, Cleaning of Power Car, Battery Health Check, Engine Oil Top Up, Deploying our Trained Technical Team for Monitoring Parameters and managing the Smooth Supplies to Coaches/Operations of Power Car. Thus ensuring trouble free travels of each passanger travelling in the train.

Genset Maintenance

• Power Generator Sets are widely used as an alternator source of Electrical Power. Hence it is treated as an Emergency Equipment. Now a days, due to high operation Cost it is used only in Power Failures, As an alternate soirce of Power in Field operations. Being Emergency equipment one has to keep it maintained. We at ADD HITECH SERVICES provides our Maintenance Service to these Electro- Mechanical Equipment through our Experienced, Trainned Technical Experts. Due to our expertise we can do Maintenance of any make Gensets. We proud to inform that we not only follow maintenance practice as per OEM Standerds & recommendations but also using Genuine Spares.
