Railway applications - Railway rolling stock cables having special fire performance - Guide to use

This European Standard gives guidance in the safe use of rolling stock cables specified in EN 50264, EN 50306 and EN 50382.These cables shall only be used for the wiring of railway rolling stock and within the limits given in the manner described in this European Standard. All these cables are for fixed installation where there is no free movement of cable, except for stresses due to typical service. This European Standard is to be applied in conjunction with the relevant product and installation standards. Stricter requirements than those given in this standard could be necessary; see in particular EN 50343. This European Standard is not applicable to: – intercarriage jumpers; – cables subject to continual flexing; – pantograph cables; – coaxial, data and fibre optic cables; – wire wrap; – cables rated at voltages greater than 3,6/6 kV; – applications other than the cabling of railway rolling stock; – cables requiring circuit integrity. Legal or statutory requirements do take precedence over the guidance given in this document. In cases where no guidance exists or where it cannot be derived from general information, it is recommended that advice shall be sought from the cable manufacturer.

Applications ferroviaires - Câbles ayant des performances particulières de comportement au feu pour matériel roulant ferroviaire - Guide d'emploi

La présente Norme européenne donne des lignes directrices pour l'utilisation en toute sécurité des câbles pour matériel roulant spécifiés dans les EN 50264, EN 50306 et EN 50382. Ces câbles sont uniquement utilisés pour le câblage du matériel roulant ferroviaire et dans les limites données de la manière décrite dans la présente Norme européenne. Tous ces câbles sont destinés à une installation fixe dans laquelle il n'y a aucun déplacement libre du câble, à l’exception de celui lié aux contraintes dues au fonctionnement normal. La présente Norme européenne est appliquée conjointement avec les normes pertinentes de produit et d'installation. Des exigences plus strictes que celles données dans cette norme pourraient être nécessaires ; voir en particulier l'EN 50343. Cette Norme européenne n'est pas applicable aux: – câbles de liaison inter-rames; – câbles soumis à des flexions continuelles; – câbles des pantographes; – câbles coaxiaux, de données et à fibres optiques; – faisceaux de fils; – câbles prévus pour des tensions supérieures à 3,6/6 kV; – applications autres que le câblage du matériel roulant ferroviaire; – câbles nécessitant l'intégrité des circuits. Les exigences légales ou réglementaires sont prioritaires par rapport aux lignes directrices données dans ce document. En l'absence de lignes directrices ou bien si celles-ci ne peuvent pas être déduites des informations générales, il est recommandé de demander conseil au fabricant du câble.

Železniške naprave - Kabli (in ožičenje) s posebno požarno odpornostjo v železniških vozilih - Vodilo za uporabo

Ta evropski standard vsebuje navodila o varni uporabi kablov v železniških vozilih iz standardov EN 50264, EN 50306 in EN 50382. Ti kabli se uporabljajo le za ožičenje železniških vozil in v okviru omejitev, ki so opisane v tem evropskem standardu. Vsi taki kabli so namenjeni stalni napeljavi brez prostega gibanja kablov z izjemo obremenitev, ki jih prinaša običajna uporaba. Ta evropski standard se uporablja v povezavi z ustreznim izdelkom in standardi namestitve. Morda so potrebne strožje zahteve od teh, ki so navedene v tem standardu; glej zlasti standard EN 50343.

Railway applications - Railway rolling stock power and control cables having special fire performance - Part 3-1: Cables with crosslinked elastomeric insulation with reduced dimensions - Single core cables
SIST EN 50264-3-1:2008

EN 50264-3-1 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, single core cables of the following types and voltage ratings: • 0,6/1 kV unscreened, unsheathed (1 mm2 to 400 mm2); • 1,8/3 kV unscreened, unsheathed (1,5 mm2 to 400 mm2); • 1,8/3 kV unscreened, sheathed (1,5 mm2 to 400 mm2); • 3,6/6 kV unscreened, sheathed (2,5 mm2 to 400 mm2). All cables have class 5 tinned copper conductors to EN 60228, halogen-free insulation and halogen-free sheath. They are for use in railway rolling stock as fixed wiring, or wiring where limited flexing in operation is encountered. The requirements provide for a continuous conductor temperature not exceeding 90° C and a maximum temperature for short circuit conditions of 200 °C based on a duration of 5 s. Under fire conditions the cables exhibit special performance characteristics in respect of maximum permissible flame propagation (flame spread) and maximum permissible emission of smoke and toxic gases. EN 50264-3-1 should be read in conjunction with Part 1 “General requirements”.

Railway applications - Railway rolling stock power and control cables having special fire performance - Part 1: General requirements
SIST EN 50264-1:2008

EN 50264-1 specifies the general requirements applicable to the cables given in all other parts of EN 50264. It includes the detailed requirements for the insulating and sheathing materials and other components called up in the separate parts. In particular EN 50264-1 specifies those requirements relating to fire safety. Based on proven experience and reliability over many years these cables are rated for occasional thermal stresses causing ageing equivalent to continuous operational life at a conductor temperature of 90 °C. NOTE This rating is based upon the polymers defined in 3.1 and 3.2. Before these polymers had gained widespread acceptance in the cable industry, ageing performance had been assessed via long-term thermal endurance testing and had been extrapolated to 20 000 h using techniques equivalent to those in EN 60216 (series). Subsequent experience in service has demonstrated that the predicted performance levels were correct. Where extrapolated data is used to predict lifetime in service it should be confirmed with the cable manufacturer, and should be on the basis of a failure mode appropriate to the type of material or cable. The maximum conductor temperature for short circuit conditions is 200 °C based on a duration of 5 s. This Part 1 should be read in conjunction with the other parts of EN 50264.

EN 50264-3-2 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, multicore cables of the following types and voltage ratings: • 300/500 V screened or unscreened (1 mm2, 1,5 mm2 and 2,5 mm2, number of cores from 2 to 40); • 0,6/1 kV screened or unscreened, (1,5 mm2 to 50 mm2, 2, 3 and 4 cores). NOTE Not all conductor sizes or number of cores are specified for every type. All cables have class 5 tinned copper conductors to EN 60228, halogen-free insulation and halogen-free sheath. They are for use in railway rolling stock as fixed wiring, or wiring where limited flexing in operation is encountered. The requirements provide for a continuous conductor temperature not exceeding 90 C and a maximum temperature for short circuit conditions of 200 C based on a duration of 5 s.
