Finance and Budget

Government expenditure is divided into two parts- 1. Voted - made from consolidated fund of India  2. Charged - Charged from consolidated fund of India.  Article 113(1) - Charged Expenditure is not subjected to vote of parliament. Article 113(2) of Constitution -  Voted expenditure Abstract Estimate - For obtaining Administrative Approval  Detailed Estimate - For obtaining Technical Sanction of competent authority.Cost should not exceed Abstract Estimate.Prepared in sufficient Detailed.Detailed Estimate is not required for work less than 5 Lakh. Supplentary Estimate - An item of work, which is found later,should be considered as being a part of an estimate already prepared and sanctioned. Revised Estimate -  1. If the expenditure on a work likely to exceed the sanctioned cost. 2. Prepared and submitted for sanction of the competent Authority. 3. Prepared based on earnings/ expenditure trends of first five months and projections for the balance period. For open ...

OFC

  SM fibre ( Single mode fibre)- It is a type of fibre optics cable that has smaller core diameter compared to multimode fibre. This means only a single mode of light can travel through it,resulting less signal loss and higher bandwidth. It transmits a single ray of light,which has higher bandwidth capabilities and preferred in longer distance applications. Multi mode Fibre Optic Cable- Large diameter core that allows multiple modes of light to propogate. As the core increases,more data passes through a given time. Quality of signal reduced over long distances. Typically used for short distances,data and audio/video applications in LANs. Windows of OFC - 1 st window - 850 nm - Short wavelength region 2 nd window - 1310 nm - O band 3rd window - 1550 nm - C band Attenuation is minimum at 3 rd window. 2nd and 3rd window are used in Single Mode Fibre.

Passenger Information System

System that facilitates dissemination of train related information to passengers are passenger Information System ( PIS) System that provides information at Railway station Premises - 1. Audio : The train related information like arrival/ departure announced through PA system. 2. Video: The information provided through video system.This is of two types. a. Interactive Video system:  It is Graphic user interface ( GUI) based touch screen directly operated by passenger to get information. These are called Passenger operated Enquiry Terminals (POET) or Touch Screen Display system. b. Non Interactive Video system - Provided train related information on CCTV monitors. These systems also display intertainment program like TV channel broadcasting. 3. Alphanumeric display systems-  Gives information in different languages on platform.This information guides the passengers to go to correct platform and in time. System that provides information at Passenger end- Two types - Interactive ...

T8 B Telecom Cables

  Size of Cable - The various size of conductors used in Cable are - 0.4 mm,0.51 mm,0.63 mm,0.9 mm and 1.2 mm. Twisting is done to avoid crosstalk. Distortionless condition- If there is no phase Distortion, the velocity of propogation must be same for different Frequency components and should be independent of Frequency. GL=RC is distortionless condition  Loading of Underground cable - When diameter of conductor increases,  value of R decreases . This is not possible due to its increased cost. If the value of G increases, transmission loss will increase which is also not acceptable. Therefore there is only one way to increase the value of GL by increasing L.This is achieved by using the coils of suitable inductance value wound on dust cores are placed in series with line on suitable intervals. This is called coil loading or lump loading.Value of each coil connected in each limb of a quad cable is 59 mh. V.F.balancing of underground cable - V. F balancing of underground ca...
