Head-on-Generation (HOG)Power is supplied from the train locomotive at the head of the train. The single phase 25 kV transformer of the electric locomotive is provided with hotel load winding which is converted to three phase AC at 750 V using 2×500 kVA inverter and supplied to the same system as that of EOG. In case of Diesel Locomotive, three phase alternator is mounted on the traction alternator and feeds the hotel load. This is the most efficient system as the cost of power is about 25% less as compared to EOG, but the system is still under development for the last 30 years. The other class of trains namely Electrical Multiple Unit and Main Line Electrical Multiple Units employs the same system for coach lighting. The system is similar to what is followed in train-set composition of train having a power unit at head as well as on tail and power the entire load of the coach for comfort.
