'''Kawasaki Heavy Industries & Nippon Sharyo C751B cars''' are part of the rolling stock used in Singapore's original [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Mass Rapid Transit]] network, operating on the [[North South Line]] and the [[East West Line]] since early 2000. 21 trainsets of 6 cars each were purchased, and it is the first rolling stock to feature VVVF Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor traction control system. Kawasaki Heavy Industries manufactured 66 cars and Nippon Sharyo manufactured 60 cars respectively with one differences (trains built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries had 276 seats while trains built by Nippon Sharyo has 288 seats), even having built to agreed specifications. Kawasaki Heavy Industries & Nippon Sharyo C751B is the third generation of rolling stock to be used on the North South and East West MRT Lines.
These trains were manufactured from 1999 to 2001 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Nippon Sharyo. Despite having built to agreed specifications, only 1 visable differences could be found.

==Exterior design==
==History==
The most prominent difference between these trains, and trains of the older generation, such as the [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151|Kawasaki C151 train]] before refurbishment, are in terms of its exterior design and colours. The front of the train sports a more slanted and streamlined look, with the run number display in Orange LED Display. The sides of the train, instead of having the conventional white background with a red stripe, consists of a shiny black area covering the middle portion of the train from just above the windows to below the windows, followed by a bold red stripe and a thinner grey stripe at the bottom of the train.
The C751B trains were bought mainly to complement the existing trains due to the opening of the Changi Airport Extension on the East West Line. These trains began revenue service in 2001. Unlike its older counterparts, the C751B trains features a new livery which consist of mainly black and a more slanted and streamlined look.


==Interior design==
Some of the C751B trains were also installed with luggage racks for travelers to place their bags easily as they travels to Changi Airport, but was subsequently removed when the through-train service was removed.

[[File:blueint.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Interior of the second or fifth cars]]
[[File:greenint.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Interior of the middle cars]]
All cars are equipped with 6 Liquid Crystal Displays per car (which have since been deactivated), and all except Train 347/348 feature LED displays (which have been replaced by the VFDs of the STARIS system). These used to show rail travel information, commercials and movie trailers. They also come with more grab poles, wider seats, more space near the doors and wheelchair space. The interior and exterior design of the train have been improved, incorporating a much sleeker design. The LEDs however have seen little usage after a new series of voice announcements were introduced across the system in mid-2008. 327/328 is the only one to have VPIS working in 2009; and in 27 July 2010, STARIS were installed on 319/320 and 321/322 as demonstrators, followed by the rest of the C751Bs from September 2010. All VPIS were removed to make way for the STARIS.


The colour layout on these trains are also different from their earlier counterparts. Cars 1 and 6 use a sort of pinkish-purple color on the seats, while cars 2 and 5 use a different shade of blue, and the middle cars using a bluish-green. All door panels and walls are white, which was subsequently adopted in the refurbishment of the [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151|C151 cars]].
===Fragmented Gearbox===
On 13 April 2002, a fault was detected in a C751B train and was subsequently withdrawn to the [[Changi Depot]] for investigations. As the trains was under warranty, engineers from the manufacturer inspect for fault and found metal fragments in gearbox. The fragmented gearbox was then replace with a new one flown in on 22 April. Further check on 23 April founded that the other 20 trains also have fragmented gearbox and the whole fleet was grounded until the fragmented gearbox was fixed. The first 8 trains was then returned to service in early May 2002. The last trains was then return to service in June 2002.


==Equipment==
==Design==
===Main Propulsion Controller/Motor===
{| class="toccolours" border="1" style="border-collapse:collapse;"
The C751B is the second commuter type Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) made in Japan to feature electric systems fully manufactured by Fuji Electric. Propulsion is controlled by VVVF Inverter with 2-level IGBT semiconductor controller, rated at 415 kVA. Each inverter unit controls two motors on one bogie (1C2M), and one motor car features two of such units. Motors are three-phrase AC induction type, model MLR109, with a maximum output of 140 kW.

===Bogies===

The C751B uses the monolink axlebox type bolsterless air spring bogie. There are no major technical difference between a trailer and motor car bogie other than additional electrical components for the latter.

===Auxiliary Systems===
|- valign=top
A break from tradition, the C751B features auxiliary inverters for its electrical systems on all six cars of the train. Previously, auxiliary inverters are mounted only on motor cars. The VVVF Inverter is controlled by IGBT semiconductors and rated at 80 kVA. A battery charger is built with the inverter and provides 16 kW output.

==Experimental programmes==
|- valign=top
In 2001, when the Changi Airport Extension was opened, some of these trains plying the East West Line had luggage racks installed. These luggage racks were installed in every carriage of the train, taking up the space of two seats next to the door at the end of each carriage. The purpose of those racks were to let travellers heading to the airport, who usually carry a large amount of luggage, to have a space to place their bags easily.
!style="text-align:left"|Train Run Number
 
|colspan=2|Orange LED
However, these luggage racks were always underutilised. Travellers preferred holding on to their bags where they were standing or sitting, as opposed to placing them on the luggage racks, probably due to convenience and fear of theft. Some commuters were also complaining that these racks took up critically needed space which could be occupied by other passengers which often filled the train. Furthermore, the service to Changi Airport was cancelled and replaced by a shuttle service to and from Tanah Merah station, dismissing the need to provide these racks for non-airport bound train services. Therefore, in 2003, trains with the luggage racks had them removed, and replaced with an empty standing area, with a dual purpose of serving as a wheelchair area.

==Trainset Numbering==
On 13 April 2002, a fault was detected in a C751B train and was subsequently withdrawn to the [[Changi Depot]] for investigations. As the train is under warranty, the engineers from the manufacturers of the train and gearbox flown in on 21 April and they detected that the gearboxes had metal fragments found in it on 22 April. When they found out the other 20 trains had fragmented gearboxes on 23 April 2002, SMRT withdraw all 21 C751B trains and suspended the Boon Lay - Changi Airport train through service and replaced with the Tanah Merah - Changi Airport shuttle service. Train's frequency was also adjusted until early May when 8 trains returned to service. By June 2002, all C751B trains had return to service and the through service was resumed.

History

The C751B trains were bought mainly to complement the existing trains due to the opening of the Changi Airport Extension on the East West Line. These trains began revenue service in 2001. Unlike its older counterparts, the C751B trains features a new livery which consist of mainly black and a more slanted and streamlined look.

Some of the C751B trains were also installed with luggage racks for travelers to place their bags easily as they travels to Changi Airport, but was subsequently removed when the through-train service was removed.

Fragmented Gearbox

On 13 April 2002, a fault was detected in a C751B train and was subsequently withdrawn to the Changi Depot for investigations. As the trains was under warranty, engineers from the manufacturer inspect for fault and found metal fragments in gearbox. The fragmented gearbox was then replace with a new one flown in on 22 April. Further check on 23 April founded that the other 20 trains also have fragmented gearbox and the whole fleet was grounded until the fragmented gearbox was fixed. The first 8 trains was then returned to service in early May 2002. The last trains was then return to service in June 2002.

Trainset Numbering

  • The car numbers of the trains range from x311 to x352, where x depends on the carriage type.
  • The first digit depends upon whether the car is the first, second or third car from the end of the train it is nearer to, where the first car has a 3, the second has a 1 and the third has a 2.
  • The other 3 digits is the train identification number. A full length train of 6 cars have 2 different identification number, one for the first 3 cars, and the same number plus 1, for the other three. The smaller number is always at the front.
    • For example, trainset 329/330 would consist of 6 cars with serial number 3329, 1329, 2329, 2330, 1330, 3330 respectively.
