Introduction
Delegates attending this course will develop their skills and knowledge to conduct maintenance and faulting activities on High Voltage Impulse (HVI) track circuits efficiently and effectively.
Objectives
On successful completion of the course the candidate will be able to:
 | Identify the main components of a HVI track circuit |
| Explain the principles and operation of a HVI track circuit |
| Identify different configurations of HVI track circuits |
| Perform routine service of HVI track circuits in accordance with the current SMS and complete the relevant documentation |
| Fault diagnosis and rectification to a HVI track circuit using a systematic approach |
| Use test equipment specific to HVI track circuits |
| Carry out basic fault finding activities |
Who Should Attend
S&T Technicians who work within maintenance
teams or who will be expected to maintain and/or test HVI track circuits. This
would also benefit persons who are expected to work on the installation and
testing of HVI track circuits Delegates should also have some experience of DC
track circuits
Prerequisites
Candidates should have basic
electrical/electronic knowledge and ideally would have attended a Basic
Signalling 1 course or equivalent. Delegates should also be familiar with the
Signal maintenance Specifications (SMS).
Features
Provides a comprehensive introduction to HVI track circuits and associated maintenance techniques. This course allows the candidate the opportunity to check for the correct set up of a HVI track circuit and testing of HVI track circuits, to SMS standards, in a safe environment on our operational track circuit. This allows each candidate the chance to be able to take all the readings required to fully complete a record card, basic fault finding techniques and the use of test equipment.
Learning Approach
Classroom theory sessions, with case studies,
demonstrations, experimentations and practical sessions using visual aids,
practical demonstrations and fault finding sessions. Simulated environment
with the ability to have faults applied.
Features
Hands on experience with the actual equipment. A simulated environment with the ability to have faults applied. The simulated environment also allows for component changing under controlled conditions.
Assessment
Written test paper plus practical assessment
(both of which must be passed to receive a certificate of merit) with evidence
collection during course
Duration
Four days
Further courses
Support - one day refresher every 2 years (optional)
Number of Participants
Minimum 4 Maximum 6
