Restarting EN57

[the810]

Any idea how to restart EN57 after it cuts power due to overspeeding? It happened to me recently on the line and I was able to coast to the next station but despite trying everything I could think of, it just refused to drive, no power was supplied.

it is the same way as by the EU07/EP08 ther is a switch in the cabin what disable the releaise for the motors you need to switch that and you can try again 🙂

Or temporarily enable the bot. 10 seconds should sort it.

I found success with reverser in neutral position and the "unlock traction overload relay"

That doesn't work for this kind of issues, because when you deactivate the bot, it falls back to whatever setting you had before.

 

Thanks everyone! I wish there were some troubleshooting manuals 🙂

That I wasn't aware of. Probably explains why a couple of times when I tried that method it didn't work.

For me it might have been overloaded under icy wires. I had train heating on and the pantograph fell and i stopped on the main line in the middle of nowhere

I tried everything, reverser into neutral, unlocking every overload relay etc, but even for god's sake neither of the pans wanted to go back up again. I activated the bot, allowed it to go on for a while, regained control and i was back to no pantos.

Indeed there should be some troubleshooting manual or tutorial cause it was damn embarrassing lol
