Railway applications - Supply voltages of traction systems

Railway applications - Supply voltages of traction systems

This European Standard specifies the main characteristics of the supply voltages of traction systems, such as traction fixed installations, including auxiliary devices fed by the contact line, and rolling stock, for use in the following applications :
– railways;
– guided mass transport systems such as tramways, elevated and underground railways mountain railways, and trolleybus systems;
– material transportation systems.
This European Standard does not apply to
– mine traction systems in underground mines,
– cranes, transportable platforms and similar transportation equipment on rails, temporary structures (e.g. exhibition structures) in so far as these are not supplied directly or via transformers from the contact line system and are not endangered by the traction power supply system,
– suspended cable cars,
– funicular railways.
This European Standard deals with long term overvoltages as shown in the Annex A.

Railway Applications - Fixed installations and rolling stock - Technical criteria for the coordination between electric traction power supply systems and rolling stock to achieve interoperability - Part 1: General
EN 50388-1:2022

This European Standard establishes requirements for the compatibility of rolling stock with infrastructure particularly in relation to:  –   co-ordination of protection principles between power supply and traction units, especially fault discrimination for short-circuits; –   co-ordination of installed power on the line and the power demand of trains; –   co-ordination of traction unit regenerative braking and power supply receptivity; –   co-ordination of harmonic behaviour. This European Standard deals with the definition and quality requirements of the power supply at the interface between traction units and fixed installations. This European Standard specifies the interface between rolling stock and electrical fixed installations for traction, in respect of the power supply system. The interaction between pantograph and overhead contact line is dealt with in EN 50367. The interaction with the “control-command” subsystem (especially signalling) is not dealt with in this standard. Requirements are given for TSI lines (both high speed and conventional) and classical lines. For classical lines, values, where given, are for the existing European networks. Furthermore the maximum values that are specified are applicable to the foreseen developments of the infrastructure of the Trans European rail networks. The following electric traction systems are within scope: –   railways; –   guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways; –   material transport systems that are integrated with railways. This European Standard does not apply retrospectively to rolling stock already in service.  Information is given on electrification parameters such as to enable train operating companies to confirm, after consultation with the rolling stock manufacturers, that there will be no consequential disturbance on the electrification system.

Simulation techniques are used to assess the dynamic interaction between overhead contact lines and pantographs, as part of the prediction of current collection quality. This document specifies functional requirements for the validation of such simulation methods to ensure confidence in, and mutual acceptance of the results of the simulations.
This document deals with:
- input and output parameters of the simulation;
- comparison with line test measurements, and the characteristics of those line tests;
- validation of pantograph models;
- comparison between different simulation methods;
- limits of application of validated methods to assessments of pantographs and overhead contact lines.
This document applies to the current collection from an overhead contact line by pantographs mounted on railway vehicles. It does not apply to trolley bus systems.

Railway applications - Compatibility between rolling stock and train detection systems - Part 3: Compatibility with axle counters
CLC/TS 50238-3:2022

For the purpose of demonstrating compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter detectors, this document defines the interference limits and evaluation methods to verify rolling stock emissions. Wheel sensors and crossing loops are not covered by this document.
This document gives recommended individual limits to be applied to establish compatibility between RST and all selected types of axle counter detectors, including any covered by national standards.
The list of selected types of axle counters and their limits for compatibility are drawn on the basis of established performance criteria. It is expected that the trend for newly signalled interoperable lines will be fitted with types that meet the compatibility limits published in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/033281).
To ensure adequate operational availability, it is essential that the rolling stock complies with the defined limits; otherwise, the established availability of the valid output function of axle counter detectors may be compromised.
NOTE   The influences from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy current brakes or magnetic brakes, are not covered by this document but are considered on the basis of national technical specifications.
For wheel sensors and wheel detectors in other applications than axle counters but utilizing the same rail sensors and detectors, transient and continuous interference can be considered as equivalent to axle counter detectors or axle counter sensors.

SIST EN IEC 61133:2022(Main)
Railway applications - Rolling stock - Testing of rolling stock on completion of construction and before entry into service
EN IEC 61133:2021

This International Standard specifies general criteria to demonstrate by testing that newly
constructed complete railway vehicles conform with standards or other normative documents.
This International Standard, as a whole or in part, applies to all railway vehicles except
special purpose vehicles such as track-laying machines, ballast cleaners and personnel
carriers. The extent of application of the standard for particular vehicles will be specifically
mentioned in the contract, to take account, where necessary, of any legislative requirements.
NOTE 1 The parts of the standard which are applicable will depend on the type of vehicle (e.g. passenger, freight,
powered trailer, etc.).
NOTE 2 The scope of this standard excludes railbound and road/rail vehicles for construction and maintenance of
railway infrastructure.
NOTE 3 This standard does not deal with tests carried out on components or equipment before fitting to the
vehicle.
In so far as this International Standard is applicable, it may be used for the following:
– generator sets mounted on a vehicle provided for auxiliary purposes;
– electrical transmission used on trolley buses or similar vehicles;
– control and auxiliary equipment of vehicles with non-electrical propulsion systems;
– vehicles guided, supported or electrically propelled by systems which do not use the
adhesion between wheel and rail.
NOTE 4 Specific technical requirements apply to vehicles which operate on the railways in the European Union.
The source of those requirements is given in Annex B. Where a European requirement applies to a given clause, a
note has been inserted at the end of the clause

Railway applications - Fixed installations - Particular requirements for AC switchgear - Part 4: AC metal-enclosed traction switchgear
CLC/TS 50152-4:2021

This part of EN 50152 specifies requirements for prefabricated metal-enclosed traction switchgear for alternating current of traction voltages and frequencies as specified in EN 50163:2004 and used in indoor and outdoor installation. Enclosures may include fixed and removable components and may be filled with fluid (liquid or gas) to provide insulation.
NOTE 1 EN 50163 specifies the a.c. traction systems 15 kV 16,7 Hz and 25 kV 50 Hz
NOTE 2 This standard applies to single-phase or two-phase systems.
For metal-enclosed traction switchgear containing gas-filled compartments, the design pressure is limited to a maximum of 300 kPa (relative pressure).
NOTE 3 EN 62271-203 can be used as a guide for design and testing in case the design pressure of gas-filled compartments exceeds 300 kPa (relative pressure).
Components contained in metal-enclosed traction switchgear are to be designed and tested in accordance with their various relevant standards. This document supplements the standards for the individual components regarding their installation in traction switchgear assemblies.
This document does not preclude that other equipment may be included in the same enclosure. In such a case, any possible influence of that equipment on the traction switchgear is to be taken into account.
NOTE 5 Switchgear and controlgear assemblies having an insulation enclosure are covered by EN 62271-201. For definition see there or IEV 441-12-06.
