CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION  
 
1.1 
INTRODUCTION  
 
Signalling systems used more mechanical signalling components. Gradually they were 
reduced with the usage of electric point machines, electromagnetic relays and electric locks. 
 
The two essential components used in this Electrical signalling are "Relays" & Cables ". 
These find their application in modern control systems also.   
 
Relay scan be classified based on type of contacts material used as- 
 
a) Metal to Metal contact 
b) Metal To Carbon (Silver impregnated graphite) 
 
Based on the usage, the relays can be classified as- 
 
a) Line relay 
b) Track Relays 
c) 
Lamp Proving Relays 
d) Timer Relay 
e) Flasher Relay 
f) 
Contactor Relays 
 
Based on polarity requirement of a relay relay can be classified as – 
 
a) Polar Relay 
b) Neutral Relay 
 
Details may be seen in Chapter1 to 10 
 
Cables for signalling use are mainly of two types 
 
a) Signalling Cable  
b) Power Cable 
 
Details may be seen in Chapter No-12  
Let us study certain symbols, abbreviated nomenclatures.   
 
1.2 
SYMBOLS AND NOMENCLATURE: 
 
Symbols are brief sketches which represent the character and main function of the equipment. 
 
These are usually accompanied by numerical and/or alphabetical terms to specify and 
identify them with a particular device or its component. 
 
Nomenclature is a collection of simple and brief designations of apparatuses to describe 
their nature and location. 
 
In an electrical circuit diagram straight lines represent the wire connections between the 
specified devices or their components with their symbols and nomenclatures. These also 
include the wire terminals, the separation between locations as well as the interconnections 
between power sources, controls and the operated loads. 
 
The power signalling systems on our railways conform to two practices: (1) The British 
Railway practice and (2) the continental or German practice. Therefore we adopt two different 
languages each peculiar to one of the two practices. There are some few common elements 
between them but broadly they differ very sharply.

classified as: -
