Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 3-1: Rolling stock - Train and complete vehicle
This European Standard specifies the emission and immunity requirements for all types of rolling stock. It covers traction stock, hauled stock and trainsets including urban vehicles for use in city streets. This European standard specifies the emission limits of the rolling stock to the outside world. The scope of this part of the standard ends at the interface of the rolling stock with its respective energy inputs and outputs. In the case of locomotives, trainsets, trams etc., this is the current collector (pantograph, shoe gear). In the case of hauled stock, this is the AC or DC auxiliary power connector. However, since the current collector is part of the traction stock, it is not entirely possible to exclude the effects of this interface with the power supply line. The slow moving test has been designed to minimize these effects. There may be additional compatibility requirements within the railway system identified in the EMC plan (e.g. as specified in EN 50238). Basically, all apparatus to be integrated into a vehicle meet the requirements of EN 50121-3-2. In exceptional cases, where apparatus meets another EMC Standard, but full compliance with EN 50121-3-2 is not demonstrated, EMC is ensured by adequate integration measures of the apparatus into the vehicle system and/or by an appropriate EMC analysis and test which justifies deviating from EN 50121-3-2. Electromagnetic interference concerning the railway system as a whole is dealt with in EN 50121-2. These specific provisions are to be used in conjunction with the general provisions in EN 50121-1. The frequency range considered is from 0 Hz (DC) to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.

Overview
EN 50121-3-1:2017/A1:2019 is a CLC (CENELEC) harmonized European standard for railway applications - electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) focused on rolling stock: trains and complete vehicles. It specifies the emission and immunity requirements for all types of rolling stock (traction stock, hauled stock, trainsets and urban vehicles) and defines how vehicles must limit electromagnetic disturbance to the outside world. The standard covers the interface of rolling stock with its energy inputs/outputs (e.g., pantograph, shoe gear, auxiliary power connectors) and addresses frequencies from 0 Hz (DC) to 400 GHz. Amendment A1:2019 updates the 2017 edition and aligns the document with the EU EMC framework.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Emission limits and immunity requirements for rolling stock to ensure safe operation and minimal interference with external systems.
- Scope of interface: requirements stop at the vehicle’s energy interfaces (current collector or auxiliary connectors), while acknowledging coupling effects at those interfaces.
- Frequency range: full coverage from 0 Hz to 400 GHz; no measurements required where no requirement is specified.
- Measurement considerations: includes provisions (e.g., the slow moving test) to minimize power-supply coupling effects during testing.
- Equipment integration: on-board apparatus should comply with EN 50121-3-2; where other EMC standards apply, adequate integration measures, analysis or tests must justify deviations.

Cela vise à garantir que les interactions électromagnétiques avec d'autres systèmes et appareils sont minimisées, ce qui est essentiel pour le bon fonctionnement et la sécurité globale du réseau ferroviaire. En précisant que les exigences de cette norme se terminent à l'interface des véhicules avec leurs alimentations, elle établit des critères précis qui facilitent la compréhension des responsabilités des fabricants et des opérateurs. La norme inclut également des tests spécifiques conçus pour atténuer les effets des interfaces électromagnétiques, ce qui peut parfois poser des défis, notamment en ce qui concerne la collecte de courant. Par ailleurs, elle reconnaît la nécessité d'exigences de compatibilité supplémentaires, telles que celles spécifiées dans le plan EMC (compatibilité électromagnétique) et dans la norme EN 50238, ce qui renforce son applicabilité dans divers contextes ferroviaires. De plus, le document précise que tous les appareils intégrés dans un véhicule doivent satisfaire aux exigences de la norme EN 50121-3-2, ce qui assure un niveau de protection cohérent à travers le matériel roulant. Cette approche intégrée est d'une grande pertinence, car elle permet de gérer les déviations potentielles par des mesures adéquates d'intégration ou des analyses EMC, garantissant ainsi la conformité globale même dans des situations particulières. En considérant le spectre de fréquence de 0 Hz à 400 GHz, cette norme couvre un large éventail d'interactions électromagnétiques, tout en excluant les mesures inutiles à des fréquences non spécifiées. Cela simplifie le processus d'évaluation et permet aux utilisateurs de se concentrer sur les domaines les plus critiques pour la compatibilité électromagnétique des systèmes ferroviaires. Dans l'ensemble, la norme SIST EN 50121-3-1:2017/A1:2019 constitue un document essentiel qui adapte les exigences CEM aux réalités du matériel roulant, en veillant à la sécurité et à l'efficacité du réseau ferroviaire dans un environnement électromagnétique de plus en plus complexe.

Die Norm EN 50121-3-1:2017/A1:2019 mit dem Titel "Schienenverkehr - Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit - Teil 3-1: Rollmaterial - Zug und Komplettfahrzeug" bietet eine umfassende Regelung der Emissions- und Immunitätsanforderungen für alle Arten von Rollmaterial, einschließlich Triebzügen, gezogenem Material und Stadtbahnen, die auch im Innenbereich von Städten eingesetzt werden. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieser europäischen Norm liegt in ihrer klaren Fokussierung auf die Grenzwerte für Emissionen des Rollmaterials zur Außenwelt. Sie bietet eine detaillierte Definition der Schnittstellen von Rollmaterial mit seinen Energieeingängen und -ausgängen, insbesondere bei Lokomotiven, Triebzügen und Straßenbahnen, wo die aktuellen Abnehmer (z. B. Pantografen oder Stromschuhe) als kritische Punkte identifiziert werden. Diese präzise Regelung ermöglicht es, die Einhaltung von EMV-Vorgaben gezielt zu steuern und zu überwachen. Die Norm adressiert auch die Herausforderung, dass die Integration von Geräten in die Fahrzeugstruktur den EMV-Anforderungen von EN 50121-3-2 entsprechen muss. In Fällen, wo nicht alle Anforderungen erfüllt werden, ermöglicht sie zusätzliche Maßnahmen zur Gewährleistung der elektromagnetischen Verträglichkeit durch geeignete Integrationsmaßnahmen oder durch angemessene EMV-Analysen. Dies stärkt die Relevanz der Norm für die Praxis und die Sicherheit im Schienenverkehrssystem. Zudem berücksichtigt die Norm das gesamte Frequenzspektrum von 0 Hz (Gleichstrom) bis zu 400 GHz, wodurch sie sicherstellt, dass alle potenziellen elektromagnetischen Störungen abgedeckt sind. Durch die Verbindung spezifischer Vorschriften mit allgemeinen Bestimmungen in EN 50121-1 ist die Norm sowohl flexibel als auch umfassend, was ihre Anwendung in verschiedenen Szenarien des Schienenverkehrs angeht. Insgesamt zeigt die EN 50121-3-1:2017/A1:2019 durch ihre breit gefächerte Anwendung und die detaillierte Regulierung der elektromagnetischen Verträglichkeit, wie wichtig sie für die Sicherheit und Effizienz modernster Schienenverkehrssysteme ist.
