Railway applications - Testing of rolling stock for electromagnetic compatibility with axle counters

This European standard defines, for the purpose of ensuring compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter systems, the measurement and evaluation methods of rolling stock emissions to demonstrate compatibility. The established limits for compatibility are defined as magnetic field strength that can disturb the axle counter detectors, as part of the axle counter system. In the relevant frequency range of the axle counter detectors the magnetic field is dominant and only this type of field is considered. Experience has shown that the effects of electric fields are insignificant and therefore not considered. For axle counters systems whose limits are not defined in terms of magnetic fields at a detector level, National Rules apply where they exist. NOTE The influence from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy current brakes or magnetic brakes is out of the scope of this EN. Compatibility is established through individual testing according to the EN 50238 series or National Notified Technical Rules.

Bahnanwendungen - Prüfung von Fahrzeugen auf elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit mit Achszählern

Zur Sicherstellung der Verträglichkeit zwischen Schienenfahrzeugen und Achszählersystemen legt diese Europäische Norm die Mess- und Bewertungsverfahren für die Emissionen von Schienenfahrzeugen fest, um die Verträglichkeit nachzuweisen. Die bestehenden Grenzwerte für die Verträglichkeit sind definiert als magnetische Feldstärke, die die Achszählerdetektoren als Teil des Achszählersystems stören kann. Innerhalb des relevanten Frequenzbereichs der Achszählerdetektoren dominiert das Magnetfeld und lediglich diese Feldart wird betrachtet. Die Erfahrung hat gezeigt, dass die Auswirkungen elektrischer Felder unbe-deutend sind und daher werden diese außer Betracht gelassen. ANMERKUNG 1 Für Achszählersysteme, deren Grenzwerte hinsichtlich der Magnetfelder auf der Detektoren-Ebene nicht festgelegt sind, gelten - soweit vorhanden - nationale Regeln (für weitere Einzelheiten siehe auch 4.1). ANMERKUNG 2 Der Einfluss von metallischen Teilen oder induktiv gekoppelten Resonanzkreisen auf das Fahrzeug sowie von Wirbelstrom- oder Magnetschienenbremsen liegt außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieser Europäischen Norm. Die Verträglichkeit wird durch Einzelprüfungen in Übereinstimmung mit der Normenreihe EN 50238 oder notifizierten, nationalen technischen Regeln nachgewiesen.

Applications ferroviaires - Essais du matériel roulant pour la compatibilité électromagnétique avec les compteurs d'essieux

La présente Norme européenne définit, afin de garantir la compatibilité entre le matériel roulant et les compteurs d'essieux, les méthodes de mesure et d'évaluation relatives aux émissions du matériel roulant afin de démontrer la compatibilité. Les limites établies pour la compatibilité sont définies comme la force du champ magnétique qui peut perturber les compteurs d’essieux, en tant que partie du système de compteur d’essieux. Dans la gamme de fréquences pertinente des compteurs d'essieux, le champ magnétique est fondamental et seul ce type de champ est pris en considération. L'expérience a montré que les effets des champs électriques sont insignifiants et ne sont donc pas pris en considération. NOTE 1 Pour les compteurs d'essieux dont les limites ne sont pas définies en termes de champ magnétique, la Réglementation nationale doit s'appliquer (pour plus d’informations, se référer également au paragraphe 4.1). NOTE 2 L'influence des pièces métalliques ou des circuits résonants accouplés par induction sur le véhicule, les freins par courants de Foucault ou les freins magnétiques ne relève pas du domaine d'application de l'EN. La compatibilité est établie par le biais d'essais individuels selon la série EN 50238 ou les Règles techniques nationales notifiées.

Železniške naprave - Preskušanje elektromagnetne združljivosti voznih sredstev s števci osi

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje metode merjenja in ocenjevanja sevanja voznih sredstev za prikaz združljivosti za namene zagotavljanja združljivosti voznih sredstev s sistemi števcev osi. Določene mejne vrednosti za združljivost so opredeljene kot jakost magnetnega polja, ki lahko moti detektorje števila osi kot dele sistema števca osi.
V ustreznem frekvenčnem razponu detektorjev števila osi je jakost magnetnega polja dominantna in se upošteva samo ta vrsta polja. Izkušnje kažejo, da so vplivi električnih polj zanemarljivi in se zato ne upoštevajo.
OPOMBA 1: Za sisteme števcev osi, pri katerih mejne vrednosti niso opredeljene v okviru magnetnih polj na ravni detektorja,
se uporabljajo nacionalni predpisi, če obstajajo (za več podrobnosti glej tudi točko 4.1).
OPOMBA 2: Vplivi kovinskih delov ali induktivno spojenih resonančnih tokokrogov na vozilo, zavore na vrtinčne tokove ali magnetne zavore so zunaj področja uporabe tega standarda EN. Združljivost se vzpostavi na podlagi posameznega preskušanja v skladu s skupino standardov EN 50238 ali nacionalnimi tehničnimi pravili.

Introduction
This European Standard is being developed to permit compliance with the Railway Interoperability Directives.
The vehicle test methodology presented in this European Standard is also applicable to the demonstration of
compatibility with all types of axle counters which have established compatibility limits according to
EN 50617-2.
Compliance with the limits for rolling stock is necessary for a reliable and safe operation of the railway
system.
1 Scope
This European Standard defines, for the purpose of ensuring compatibility between rolling stock and axle
counter systems, the measurement and evaluation methods of rolling stock emissions to demonstrate
compatibility. The established limits for compatibility are defined as magnetic field strength that can disturb
the axle counter detectors, as part of the axle counter system.
In the relevant frequency range of the axle counter detectors the magnetic field is dominant and only this
type of field is considered. Experience has shown that the effects of electric fields are insignificant and
therefore not considered.
NOTE 1 For axle counters systems whose limits are not defined in terms of magnetic fields at a detector level,
National Rules apply where they exist (for more details, see also 4.1).
NOTE 2 The influence from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy current brakes or
magnetic brakes is out of the scope of this EN. Compatibility is established through individual testing according to the
EN 50238 series or National Notified Technical Rules.
