within the first two weeks of the NDA government, there have been:

three terror attacks in kashmir with multiple casualties

NEET paper scam by NTA

a railway accident with multiple casualties in west bengal

UGC NET paper cancelled as its integrity was compromised

countless lynchings and destruction of houses belonging to muslims

a heatwave in the north (the temperature is literally 50°C)

the government has done absolutely nothing to tackle these issues.

tell me the story on when you were a jerk

:)

ah. Tis but the truth...I have not always been this kind and lovable gremlin...

Once I was a jerk! And it was some weird phase? Idk..

So basically, in my 5th grade elementary school I had a group of great friends! We'd always hang out! But I think I started talking to the mean kids and well.. Its like they converted my smooth brain to become an absolute nightmare! I was really rude to my friends and they were always just left confused. I made one 4th grade student cry because I decided to push them over and step on their hand, I made one other 5th grade student shed a tear after I yeeted him off the jungle gym.. (( I'm sorry :,] )) And once, I was talking some trash to the quiet kid, calling her some names... You know, 5th grade stuff... And she was Pissed. Ok I'm telling you DON'T MESS WITH THE QUIET KID... She dropped all of her things, cracked her knuckles, then punched me so hard in the stomach that I forgot how to breath for a solid 5 seconds. THAT WAS A STRONG PUNCH!!! I was just sitting on the floor looking at her. I was just like... trying to process what happened. She then pjcked up her stuff and walked past... well no she walked on and then past me. She stepped on my hand... Shocker.

...Don't be a jerk guys! You'll get punched so hard that you'll be knocked back to 1st grade! I was converted back to good boi after that. My friends forgave me! 🥲👍

((Shoutout to Nancy from 5th grade. You have strong punches and I'm scared of you))

Why High-Performance Rooftop Bushings are Crucial for High-Speed Rail Systems

As a leading name among railway rooftop bushing manufacturers in India, Radiant Enterprises is committed to producing durable and innovative solutions for modern rail systems.  This blog explores the importance of high-performance rooftop bushings in high-speed rail systems and their impact on safety, efficiency, and operational excellence.

What Are Railway Rooftop Bushings?

Railway rooftop bushings are insulating components mounted on the roofs of trains, primarily in electric locomotives and high-speed rail systems.  They facilitate the safe transfer of electrical power from overhead lines to the train's internal systems, ensuring uninterrupted energy flow.

These bushings must withstand extreme conditions such as high voltages, temperature fluctuations, mechanical stress, and environmental factors like rain, snow, and dust.  High-performance railway rooftop bushings are engineered to meet these challenges, offering exceptional durability and efficiency.

The Role of Rooftop Bushings in High-Speed Rail Systems

High-speed rail systems operate at voltages ranging from 25 kV to 50 kV, requiring advanced electrical insulation to prevent arcing and ensure safety.  Rooftop bushings play a pivotal role in this system, serving as a critical interface between the external power supply and the train’s internal electrical circuits.

Here is why railway rooftop bushings are indispensable in high-speed rail systems:

1.         Ensuring Electrical Insulation

High-speed trains rely on high-voltage power for propulsion and onboard systems.  Railway bushings provide robust electrical insulation, preventing leakage currents and maintaining safety for passengers and crew.

2.         Facilitating Power Transmission

Rooftop bushings enable efficient power transfer from overhead lines to train components, ensuring a seamless flow of electricity.  This is vital for the train’s propulsion, braking, and auxiliary systems.

3.         Enhancing Safety

With trains traveling at speeds exceeding 300 km/h, the reliability of electrical components becomes paramount.  High-performance rooftop bushings minimize the risk of electrical faults, ensuring safe operation even under extreme conditions.

4.         Supporting Sustainability

Modern rooftop bushings are designed to handle renewable energy sources and optimize power usage, aligning with global sustainability goals.  For rail operators, this reduces energy costs and supports eco-friendly transportation initiatives.

Challenges Faced by Rooftop Bushings in High-Speed Rail Systems

High-speed rail systems subject rooftop bushings to intense operational demands, including:

High Voltage Stress:  With voltages of up to 50 kV, bushings must prevent electrical arcing and withstand prolonged exposure to high voltage.

Mechanical Vibration:  Traveling at high speeds generates significant vibration and mechanical stress, which rooftop bushings must endure without compromising performance.

Environmental Factors:  Exposure to rain, dust, extreme temperatures, and UV radiation can degrade materials, requiring bushings with exceptional durability.

Space Constraints:  The compact design of modern trains necessitates bushings that provide high performance without occupying excessive space.

By addressing these challenges, leading railway rooftop bushing manufacturers in India like Radiant Enterprises ensure their products meet the rigorous demands of high-speed rail systems.

There is an 80 paise difference per passenger per kilometre between AC 3-tier coaches and reserved Sleeper Class in 2019-20. Moreover, the fare of AC 3-tier has increased by 33 paise per passenger per kilo-metre in the past decade, while that of reserved Sleeper Class increased only by 17.4 paise, validating the affordability concerns of travellers. These changes were mandated due to the poor operating ratio of the Indian Railways - which worsened after the pandemic. Before the pandemic Indian Railways on average used to spend ₹98 to earn ₹100. In 2021-22, it spent ₹107 to earn every ₹100.
