Dangerous Drilling in LHB Coaches


Recently we came across the root cause of Mini-Pantry supply failures. The drill damage shown in above 2.5 sq.mm E-beam cable came as shock ! These are the cables that feed deep-freezer, hotcase and bottle coolers of Min-Pantries.
What happens is that these cables are running behind the wall panels of LHB coaches. Now for fixing the hooks, mechanical department drills into wall, unaware of the 230 V live cables running behind the wall !
Quite often, the drill damages PVC conduits and the cables as shown above. This is dangerous as damage to 230 V cables just inside the passenger coach can lead to fire also.
