[@karthikkumarcse]

thanks for the very informative video. what is that black cable being plugged at 5:55 apart from the two feeders?

[@SiddharthanC]

Karthik Kumar Well that is called UIC cable,for transmitting control signal from loco to power car.

[@Sangita-b6d]

Is the same coach used for HOG and EOG???

[@roshansha2820]

Nice video.. Can u tell me that when loco is reversed n the connection of hog is done is it necessary to down both the pantograph.... For security reasons.??

[@SiddharthanC]

Roshan sha yes, it is done for security reasons...

[@bhotla66]

Is there a break in lighting and air conditioning when the loco passes thru section crossovers as the loco electric connection is switched off. When we travel by Delhi metro, there is a five seconds gap as pantos are lowered during such crossovers..

[@SiddharthanC]

Ramagopal Vishnubhotla Yes there is a break for Air-conditioning in HOG, but the lightings are provided with battery backup.. BTW thanks for watching..

[@manoharram9327]

Ramagopal Vishnubhotla that was 'neutral section'. Technically speaking it was a phase change of power supply. Due to this locomotive should stop intake of power from one when entering other isolating mixing of phases. To prevent the power disturbance. In memu it happens for upto 10 secs due to the train has to cross the neutral section from starting loco to ending loco. completely.

It is called the UIC cable, helps in monitoring the systems from the locos

[@AshishDiggi]

nice video... one question... why the eog is being used if the power has to be taken from hog??... will the energy be now taken from eog or hog ???

[@SiddharthanC]

Ashish Diggi Please note that the Technician goes to turn off EOG before the coupling of HOG cables from the loco.. the electricity for the coaches are taken from the loco.. so the EOG don't run after coupling...

[@SiddharthanC]

Harish Mv Yes.. The power car coach act as intermediate , backup in case HOG failure and as a guard van

[@rupanjannayak2049]

@@mvh996 What if Loco fails, fault in panto or the overhead lines....Imagine the suffocation in ac coaches due to lack of power to for safety and backup and also before the Loco connects EOG is used for power. Power loco coupling EOG is just a redundant failsafe system. (Source: As observed in Jan 20 in HWH Puri Exp)

[@NambiValavan]

Nice, informative video.how to identify train running with HOG, is there any extra sound from WAP 7 apart from usual engine sound or if the train running with EOG with no sound

[@SiddharthanC]

Nambi Valavan The train will actually run with no sounds from the EOG, as well as the Cables from EOG are connected to loco, we can infer that the train is running with HOG

[@VimalKumar-up9zb]

I think this WAP 7 also has Air Conditioned cabs for locopilots.

[@fristanlobo1204]

Does the AC work well in all the coaches? As there must be some neutral point where the electricity may get cutoff. Even loco will have more load of passing the current to all the coaches

[@chetansharma99999]

Yes AC work very well in HOG as like with EOG.... Yes there is Neutral point in overhead wires but its nothing effected due to transformers in EOG.... Loco is just supply the rectified current to EOG after and rest of the work is handled by Transformers which is located in EOG

[@RishiTheRailPhillic]

Thank You so much for sharing ! I has some questions to be answered. While the connection were being made , the Loco's panto was raised ? Even if not raised, power supply is through Batteries. Is there any threat of a Electrical Shock , As the Black coloured wire is plugged in and that Thick cable is attached to the hotel load coupler.

[@SiddharthanC]

Rishi The Rail Philic The pantos were lowered when the Hotel load coupling took place.. Probably for precautions they might have did it. The lighting have battery backup, but the Airconditioners don't. The thick black cable is called UIC Cable, used for controlling signals between the loco and the EOG.. BTW Thanks for watching... :)

[@1AxK9]

Siddharthan C BTW they also have HOG kill switch in Loco itself too...

[@SiddharthanC]

Kunal Sarkar I am not into that much bro..

[@1AxK9]

Siddharthan C NP, BTW (this) HOG tech is quite complicated, Every EOG coaches don't have those cables to Support HOG facility. *Many* HOG capable WAP-7 are Omnidirectional i.e. can supply power only for One direction of Travel, because of lack of Port on the other side of Loco.

[@SiddharthanC]

Kunal Sarkar Yes, HOG capable EOGs have two inter vehicular couplers , while normal ones have one..

[@Oktolibre]

what's the purpose of that thin black cable?

[@SiddharthanC]

It is Called UIC cable, which is used for Monitoring the Voltage and etc. From the loco

Those look like Westinghouse automatic couplers. The lever on the side operates them to open so shunters etc do not have to get between buffers or other places to get crushed. Another of George Westinghouse's brilliant ideas.

What's the need of EOG when it is converted to HOG?? Railways say that eog will be eliminated and it will be replaced by new coach which consists of luggage room, physically disabled, passenger's coach(around 40 members) and guard room.

[@SiddharthanC]

EOG is a method to transfer power to the coaches, however the new coach of LHB SLR also consist of generator below the coach in addition to the passenger seats and luggage rooms.

How to identify a HOG loco?

[@1AxK9]

rahul kopparthi Spot for Extra Air Vents for HOG heat exchanger.

[@AnubhabKundu]

rahul kopparthi look for the extra 4 ventillators besides the ones you see on WAG 9, also you will find 2 thick receptacles for the HOG connection to the generator car. The kVA rating of the transformer of such loco is high, so there will be even more noise from the loco. Most trains are running with either this edition or the normal WAP 7.

[@swapnilsahu162]

Only WAP 5, WAP 7 and WAG 9 are HOG compatible.....
