That is, when the battery switch is closed, the failure compensation device is powered on and works; when the battery switch is opened, the failure compensation device loses power and does not work.

[0042] After the locomotive closes the main circuit breaker and raises the pantograph, it disconnects the main circuit breaker again. When the battery voltage is detected to be lower than DC88V, the power failure compensation device immediately discharges to provide emergency power to the locomotive control circuit, network system and lighting equipment.

[0043] Close the main circuit breaker and battery switch, and the locomotive charger will charge the failure compensation device. When the device voltage is greater than 110V, charging will stop.

[0044] The main circuit is disconnected again. At this time, the locomotive battery will first provide power to the locomotive control circuit, network system and lighting equipment.

[0045] After a short delay, disconnect the battery switch or wait until the battery voltage drops below DC88V, then immediately switch to power supply from the power failure compensation device.

[0046] The device stops discharging when its own voltage drops below DC 78V.

[0047] The device stops discharging when it detects a discharge current greater than 40A.

[0048] The technical features of this utility model are: simple wiring, only the power line of the disability compensation device and the power line of the battery need to be connected in parallel, and no other additional signals need to be connected;

[0049] The device automatically synchronizes with the battery when it is turned on and off, requiring no additional operation.

[0050] When the battery fails or is depleted, the power compensation device automatically intervenes without delay to supply power to the locomotive's auxiliary equipment.

[0051] It has a locomotive battery under-discharge protection function to prevent the locomotive battery from being over-discharged;

[0052] It is equipped with an energy management system, which can realize voltage equalization, charge and discharge protection, and temperature protection functions to prevent overcharging, overcurrent and other phenomena.

[0053] It has a single-capacitor voltage display function, which can display the voltage value of any single capacitor;

[0054] It has voltage, current, and power recording, display, and recording functions, allowing users to check the device status at any time;

[0055] The device has a data logging function, which can record voltage and current changes;

[0056] The device has automatic connection and disconnection functions. When the locomotive battery is powered, the device will automatically turn on and when the battery is disconnected, the device will automatically disconnect.

[0057] The charging current can be set by the program and can be automatically adjusted according to the battery voltage to prevent the battery from running out of power.

[0058] Fault alarm function: indicator light alarm;

[0059] It adopts a modular energy storage design, and energy storage modules can be added or removed according to different locomotive load conditions;

[0060] Small in size and light in weight, with the entire machine weighing no more than 20Kg, it is easy to install;

[0061] The design employs dual supercapacitor modules for mutual backup, featuring two sets of identical energy storage circuits. If one set fails, the other can continue operating, increasing product reliability.

[0062] In addition, all content not described in detail in this embodiment falls within the scope of existing technology and common knowledge.
