EU-07 Central panel indications explanation.

[_SJAY_]

Hello engineers!

Hello, engineers! Can anyone explain the readings of the central panel on the Eu-07 locomotive? I am trying to study the operation of the locomotive in order to understand when and why different indicators light up.

Hi there! Let's see...

1. Compressors max current protection. May trip if you turn on the compressors right after turning on the converters/fans. You can reset it with the green button near the lamp.

2. Converters/fans max current protection.

3. Main circuit breaker closed.

4. Traction motors max current protection. You can reset it with the green button near the lamp, after setting the power to zero.

5. Traction motors differential circuit breaker. May trip in case of a fault at one of the four engines; you would then need to find out which one you need to exclude, but this is not possible in SimRail.

6. Converters/fans temperature protection. I don't think it's simulated?

7. Repeats a relay, which is on when the power is at zero and it is possible to give power to the traction motors, so brakes are released, main circuit breaker is closed, power available, etc.

8. Wheel slipping.

9. High current mode (you can drive up to 800A instead of 600A, but you can't use parallel).

10. Powering the traction motors through resistors. This reminds you that you are using the resistors to power the loco, and should exclude them as fast as possible.

11. Power available to the coaches.

My respect!

i made a suggestion to the devs to have 'tool tips' in the language set in SimRail show when we hover the mouse over the lights and gauges in each train,   similar to how we have with the switches.

Or maybe hover the mouse pointer over a light that is lit up, and right click to see a tool tip like 'compressor overload tripped, reset with compressor relay button'

Maybe a setting that can be turned on or off in helper settings, so people who know what all the lights are for don't get tool tips showing when they move the mouse over them?

This is a good idea, but is not implement now.

я предложил разработчикам, чтобы "всплывающие подсказки" на языке, установленном в SimRail, отображались при наведении курсора мыши на огни и датчики в каждом поезде, аналогично тому, как у нас с переключателями.

Или, может быть, наведите указатель мыши на загоревшийся индикатор и щелкните правой кнопкой мыши, чтобы увидеть всплывающую подсказку типа "сработала перегрузка компрессора, сброс с помощью кнопки реле компрессора"

Может быть, есть настройка, которую можно включить или выключить в вспомогательных настройках, чтобы люди, которые знают, для чего предназначены все индикаторы, не получали всплывающих подсказок при наведении на них курсора мыши?

This is good idea, but is not implemented now.
