The choice of diagnostic features for electric trains circuits

The necessary completeness and depth of electric circuits diagnostics can be provided by means of resistance assessment of control circuits loops under consideration and high-voltage power and auxiliary circuits sections. Obviously, the current sensors mounting at each loop of control circuits is inexpedient, as in that case the diagnostic complex complication exceeds the diagnosed object complication in several times.

To determine the specified parameters with the minimal number of sensors and the diagnostic complex flow lines, a principle of control circuits functional-test diagnostics has been developed. The principle consists in determining of each branch diagnostic features through timely inclusion of the branch in the operational process. This inclusion is carried out by means of test impacts injection to the main and auxiliary inputs. The specific sequence of impacts makes them identical to working ones.

At the same time the high-voltage circuits switching units fulfill the assigned functions in the whole range of possible combinations. The use of additional inputs (impacts injection has not been foreseen by the operation working algorithm for these impacts) for test impacts injection even with functional impairment in the branches of control circuits, corresponding to the main inputs, allows to ensure the impact transfer to the actuator, thus performing their primary function.
