Q

What happens if the power supply to the EP brake system fails or the EP circuit breaker trips?

A

The magnet valve will be de- energised and exhaust air supply to LP flag to atmosphere.
It will produce and audible warning and cause the flag to rise vertically
It will alert the driver that the EP brake is no longer operational and the train must be controlled by the air brake

Off Forward Neutral Reverse
32
What are the 4 powering and 1 non powering option on the master controller?
Notch 0 coast Notch 1 Shunt Notch 2 Series Notch 3 Parallel Notch 4 Weak Fields Notch 2 and 3 provide a low acceleration mode to prevent slipping on wet rail surfaces
33
What will happen when the reverser is placed to FORWARD or REVERSE and the master controller handle or foot pilot valve is not set?
It will cause the emergency brakes to apply
