Railway applications - Environmental conditions for equipment - Part 2: Fixed electrical installations

This European Standard takes into account environmental conditions within Europe. This European Standard deals with the environmental influences on fixed electrical installations for traction power supply and equipment essential to operate a railway - in open air; - in covered areas; - in tunnels; - within enclosures placed in above areas. Escalators, lifts, fire protection, lighting in tunnels and on platforms, ticket machines, ventilation systems and non-essential functions are not included. Such influences include altitude, temperature and humidity, air movement, rain, snow, hail, ice, sand, solar radiation, lightning, pollution, vibration, shocks and EMC. This standard does not specify the test requirements for equipment. In case of environmental conditions not covered by the standard the data to be adopted for a specific project should be clearly stipulated when preparing a specification. This standard is not intended to apply to cranes, installations in underground mines, suspended cable cars and funicular railways. Nuclear radiation is excluded. Signalling and telecommunications systems are not considered in this standard. Fixed installed signalling and telecommunication equipment shall comply with EN 50125-3.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this standard the following definitions apply.

3.1
covered area
protected from precipitation, but open to the effects of humidity and wind

NOTE 1 Some constructions may be affected by solar radiation.

NOTE 2 Tunnels are excluded from this definition.

3.2
cubicle
closed space where the direct open air influences are excluded

3.3
environment
the surrounding objects, region or circumstances which may influence the behaviour of the
system and/or may be influenced by the system

3.4
environmental conditions
conditions which are brought about because of the environment

3.5
environmental protection
provisions to avoid the interaction of the system with the environment

3.6
open air
not protected from direct environmental influences

3.7
tunnel
artificial underground passage through a hill or below the normal ground level or under sea level

4 Environmental conditions
4.1 General
The purchaser shall specify clearly in his specification the class to consider. Otherwise the class
mentioned in the product standard shall apply where available. Where no other specifications
are specified, the normal requirements in this standard shall be used. Installations shall
function, or be capable of functioning, under all specified conditions.

The environmental conditions are considered for normal operation. More severe conditions may
be specified for the equipment to withstand, when not operating, without suffering damage. An
example of such a condition is wind velocity high enough to cause dewirements but not tearing
down the overhead contact line.

Microclimates surrounding components may need special requirements which are covered by
product standards.
Special conditions are classified with a suffix X.

The severities specified are those which have a low probability of being exceeded. All specified
values are either maximum or minimum limits. These values can be reached, but do not occur
permanently. Depending on the situation there are different frequencies of occurrence related to
a certain period of time. Such frequencies of occurrence have not been included in this
standard, but should be considered for any environmental parameter, if relevant. In this case
they shall be specified.
4.2 Altitude
Altitude related to sea level is relevant for air pressure. Air pressure shall be considered in
accordance with HD 478.2.3.
The different classes of altitude above sea level in open air at which the equipment shall
perform as specified are given in Table 1.

- 7 - EN 50125-2:2002
Table 1 - Altitude relative to sea level

Class Altitude range relative to
sea level
m
A 1 up to 1 400
A 2 up to 1 000
A X above 1 400
NOTE  In class A 2 installations under sea level are included.

Using A X class, the maximum altitude shall be specified by the purchaser.

4.3 Air temperature and humidity

4.3.1 General
For air temperature and humidity in open air, the climates according to Table 2 of HD 478.2.1
shall be used, excluding the first and the last two climates.

These values are illustrated in Figure 2 to Figure 7 of HD 478.2.1.

For weather-protected areas, information is given in EN 60721-3-3.

Different values depending on national requirements are possible. These values are to be
agreed separately between purchaser and supplier, as appropriate to the local conditions.

In principle, air temperatures are measured in the shade.

The values of humidity can be 100 %.

4.3.2 Special conditions
When considering the temperature of an object, the effects of thermal radiation from the ground,
or due to the proximity of other large objects, has to be taken into account.
