Overview

IEC 62236-5:2018 - Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 5 - defines emission and immunity requirements for electrical and electronic apparatus and systems used in fixed railway power supply installations (for example substations, switching stations, autotransformers, booster transformers and power switchgear). The standard focuses on ensuring that traction and non-traction power equipment do not cause or suffer harmful electromagnetic disturbance across a very wide frequency range (DC up to 400 GHz) and is a part of the IEC 62236 EMC family.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope of applicability: equipment within substation boundaries, trackside items that control/regulate power, feeder conductors supplying substations and other non-traction railway power supplies.
  • Emission requirements: limits for radiated and conducted emissions within substation boundaries and to the outside world. This edition extended emission requirements into the 1 GHz to 6 GHz range.
  • Immunity requirements: defined immunity tests and performance criteria for various ports and enclosures (see tables in the standard). Immunity was extended in this edition into 5.1 GHz to 6 GHz.
  • Port-based approach: separate immunity criteria for enclosure ports, signal/data ports, process/control ports, DC/AC power ports and earth ports (tables 1 to 6).
  • Zoning and applicability: heightened immunity expectations for vital equipment, devices connected to traction conductors, apparatus inside a 3 m zone, ports with connections in the 3 m zone, and ports inside the 10 m zone with cables >30 m.
  • Frequency and measurement guidance: frequency span considered DC–400 GHz; specific emission test bands and annexes provide measurement guidance (including switch operation emissions).
  • Changes from previous edition: clarifications of scope, expanded emission and immunity frequency ranges, and removal of certain radiated H‑field limits in 9 kHz–150 kHz due to low reproducibility and limited outside-world impact.
  • Use with other IEC documents: intended to be read alongside IEC 62236-1 and references IEC 61000 series test methods (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2 to -6).

Applications and who uses it

  • Railway system designers and electrical engineers: to specify, design and validate power substations and trackside power equipment for EMC compliance.
  • Equipment manufacturers: to develop power switchgear, protection and control apparatus that meet emission and immunity limits.
  • EMC test laboratories and certifiers: to perform standardized emission and immunity testing for procurement and safety verification.
  • System integrators and asset owners: to ensure interoperability, reliability and minimal electromagnetic disturbance across railway power installations.
  • Procurement and regulatory bodies: to include EMC compliance criteria in contracts and safety demonstrations.

Related standards

  • IEC 62236-1 (general EMC provisions for railway applications)
  • IEC 61000‑4 series (EMC test methods)
  • IEC 61000‑6 series (generic emission/immunity standards)

International Standard IEC 62236-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 9:
Electrical equipment and systems for railways.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. It constitutes a
technical revision and has been developed on the basis of EN 50121-5:2015.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) clarification of scope (Clause 1);
b) emission requirement extended in the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz following
IEC 61000-6-4;
c) immunity requirement extended in the frequency range 5,1 GHz to 6 GHz;
d) removal of limits for radiated H-fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 150 kHz due to the
fact that:
– there are very few outside world victims;
– there is low reproducibility.
This Standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62236-1.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
9/2340/FDIS 9/2370/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in

INTRODUCTION
The requirements of this part of IEC 62236 have been specified so as to ensure a level of
electromagnetic emission which will cause minimal disturbance to other equipment. The
levels, however, do not cover the following cases:
a) where the probability of an occurrence likely to produce emissions in excess of those
which would normally be experienced is extremely low,
a) which may occur with an extremely low probability of occurrence in any location;
b) where highly susceptible apparatus will be is used in close proximity of the equipment
covered by this document, in which case further measures may have to be taken.
The emission limits given are on the basis that the equipment of the product family range is
installed in railway traction substation areas.

Part 5: Emission and immunity of fixed
power supply installations and apparatus

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62236 applies to emission and immunity aspects of EMC for fixed power
supply installations and electrical and electronic apparatus and systems intended to be used
in these installations for use in railway fixed installations for power supply. This includes the
power feed to the apparatus, the apparatus itself with its protective control circuits, trackside
items such as switching stations, power autotransformers, booster transformers, substation
power switchgear and power switchgear to other longitudinal and local supplies.
Filters operating at railway system voltage (for example, for harmonic suppression or power
factor correction) are not included in this document since each site has special requirements.
Filters would normally have separate enclosures with separate rules for access. If
electromagnetic limits are required, these will appear in the specification for the equipment.
The limits in this standard do not apply to intentional communication signals.
If a port is intended to transmit or receive for the purpose of radio communication (intentional
radiators, e.g. transponder systems), then the radiated emission requirements in this
document are not intended to be applicable to the intentional transmission from a radio-
transmitter as defined by the ITU.
The frequency range considered is from DC to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be
performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.
Emission and immunity limits are given for items of apparatus which are situated:
a) within the boundary of a substation which delivers electric power to a railway;
b) beside the track for the purpose of controlling or regulating the railway power supply,
including power factor correction and filtering;
c) along the track for the purpose of supplying electrical power to the railway other than by
means of the conductors used for contact current collection, and associated return
conductors. Included are high voltage feeder systems within the boundary of the railway
which supply substations at which the voltage is reduced to the railway system voltage;
NOTE 1 Examples are one conductor of a 25-0-25 kV 50 Hz system and the 110 kV 16,7 Hz supply systems.
NOTE 2 Similar conductors which are outside the railway boundary are treated as in the public area and are
considered to be general overhead power lines although they feed only the railway.
d) beside the track for controlling or regulating electric power supplies to ancillary railway
uses. This category includes power supplies to marshalling yards, maintenance depots
and stations;
e) various other non-traction power supplies from railway sources which are shared with
railway traction.
The immunity levels given in this document apply for:
– vital equipment such as protection devices;
– equipment having connections to the traction power conductors;
– apparatus inside the 3 m zone;

– ports of apparatus inside the 10 m zone with connection inside the 3 m zone;
– ports of apparatus inside the 10 m zone with cable length > 30 m.
Apparatus and systems which are in an environment which can be described as residential,
commercial or light industry, even when placed within the physical boundary of the railway
substation, shall comply with the relevant generic International EMC standard comply with
IEC 61000-6-1 for immunity and IEC 61000-6-3 for emission requirements.
Excluded from the immunity requirements of this document is power supply apparatus which
is intrinsically immune to the tests defined in Table 1 to Table 6 of this document.
NOTE An example is an 18 MVA 230 kV to 25 kV power supply transformer.
These specific provisions are to be used in conjunction with the general provisions in
IEC 62236-1.

4 Performance criteria
The variety and diversity of the apparatus within the scope of this document make it difficult to
define precise criteria for the evaluation of the immunity test results. Three general levels of
performance are therefore used, as defined in IEC 62236-1.
5 Emission tests and limits
5.1 Emission from the traction substation to the outside world
Limit values for this emission, over the frequency range 9 150 kHz to 1 GHz are given in
IEC 62236-2.
NOTE Guidance values are given in IEC 62236-2 for emission of DC and power frequency
magnetic fields.
Conductors (overhead or underground) between the substation and the railway are part of the
railway installation, but because of their wide variety of positions and ampere loadings, limit
values cannot be set for the magnetic fields which they produce.
For apparatus which is under ground, measurements shall be made in the frequency range
9 kHz to 150 kHz at the surface of the ground above the apparatus.
NOTE No limits are set for emissions into the active space of the underground railway due to
the complexities of obtaining measurements in the confined space and the lack of a precise
method of relating the measured values to the degree of disturbance which other apparatus
would suffer.
No measurements are necessary for total underground railway systems with no surface
operation.
5.2 Emission test for apparatus operating at less than 1 000 V r.m.s. AC
The emission limits for apparatus covered by this document which is supplied with electrical
power at a voltage below 1 000 V r.m.s. are given on a port by port basis in IEC 61000-6-4,
Table 1.
5.3 Emission values within the boundary of the substation
Because there is such a wide variety of options for the design and the construction of the
substation, limits are not given for emission within the general space inside the boundary of
the substation. Practical measurements have been made and guidance values are given in
Annex A. These are for information only and are not part of the normative content of this
document.
6 Immunity tests and limits requirements
The immunity test requirements for apparatus covered by this document are given on a port
by port basis in Table 1 to Table 6.
Tests shall be conducted in a well-defined and reproducible manner. The tests shall be
carried out as single tests in sequence. The sequence of testing is optional.

The description of the tests, the test generator, the test methods, and the test set-up are
given in the Basic Standards which are referred to in Table 1 to Table 6. The contents of the
Basic Standards are not repeated herein, however, modifications or additional information
needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this document.
Where possible, the tests shall be made with a typical operating mode chosen to produce the
maximum susceptibility to noise disturbance in the frequency band being investigated,
consistent with normal applications. The manufacturer shall define the conditions of the test in
the test plan.
NOTE If the apparatus is part of a system or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, then
the apparatus should preferably be tested while connected to the minimum configuration of
auxiliary apparatus necessary to exercise the test point in accordance with the general
methods of CISPR 22 and IEC 61000-4 series.
The configuration and mode of operation during the tests shall be precisely noted in the test
report. It is not always possible to test every function of the apparatus; in such cases the most
critical mode of operation should be selected.
The tests shall be carried out within the specified operating range for the apparatus and at its
rated supply voltage.
Some of the immunity levels are higher than those of the heavy industrial Generic Standard,
because this has been found necessary in practice.
Voltages induced by traction currents are not addressed treated here. They shall have to be
covered by the functional specification (e.g. IEC 62497-1).

7 Fixed power supplies on railway property which are not used for railway
traction purposes
These are used for example for signalling systems, station services, office building services,
freight cranes and yard lighting.
They fall into two categories:
a) those that are supplied from non-railway sources. Examples are supplies from the local
public electricity supplier or from separate generators. These are outside the scope of this
document. For products in the scope of IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-3, IEC 61000-3-11 or
IEC 61000-3-12, the requirements of those standards also apply;
b) those that are supplied from railway sources which are shared with train traction. The
supply voltage may have a substantial harmonic content. It is the responsibility of the body
which puts the apparatus into service to establish the levels of immunity and emission
which will ensure EMC. The levels of immunity and emission should be defined in
agreement between the suppliers and client. Examples are supplies from tertiary windings
on rectifier transformers or from the railway AC overhead via transformers.

Annex A
(informative)
Emission within the boundary of the substation
for normal operation and during the operation of switches
As part of the programme of work to measure the emission from the boundary of the
substation, measurements were made of emissions at radio frequencies inside the substation
boundary. The antennas were placed in safe positions and fields were measured during
normal operation and during the operation of switches. Peak values of field strength were
found. Similar values were found in both AC and DC systems. Antennas were 3 m from
switches during tests.
A sufficient number of results were obtained to allow Figure A.1 and Figure A.2 to be drawn.
These show the upper boundary of all results, for the frequency range 9 150 kHz to
1 000 MHz. Values are peak fields, measured with CISPR 16-1-1 test apparatus and with the
recommended bandwidths.
Values are included in this annex for information only and must are not be interpreted as
being the basis for limits. They are an indication of the performance of apparatus of different
ages and designs, now in use in railway traction substations.
Substations have a wide range of configurations, ratings and system voltages. It has not been
found possible to set emission limits for apparatus which will be installed within the boundary
of the substation. Each specific substation will need to be the subject of detailed study to
ensure EMC between the various apparatus used inside the boundary.

Figure A.1 – Emission from switches – Peak
NOTE 1 Operation of switches will generate transient radio fields and when the switch interrupts nominal rated
current under conditions of rated voltage, the emission when measured with CISPR 16-1-1 equipment at 3 m from
the apparatus is not expected to exceed the values shown in Table A.1 and Table A.2.

WARNING: There is a danger of electric shock from uninsulated conductors in most
substations and any attempt to measure emissions from these conductors must is to be done
with the most careful attention to ensuring safe methods of working.

Part 5: Emission and immunity of fixed
power supply installations and apparatus

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62236-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 9:
Electrical equipment and systems for railways.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. It constitutes a
technical revision and has been developed on the basis of EN 50121-5:2015.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) clarification of scope (Clause 1);
b) emission requirement extended in the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz following
IEC 61000-6-4;
c) immunity requirement extended in the frequency range 5,1 GHz to 6 GHz;

– 4 – IEC 62236-5:2018  IEC 2018
d) removal of limits for radiated H-fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 150 kHz due to the
fact that:
– there are very few outside world victims;
– there is low reproducibility.

INTRODUCTION
The requirements of this part of IEC 62236 have been specified so as to ensure a level of
electromagnetic emission which will cause minimal disturbance to other equipment. The
levels, however, do not cover the following cases:
a) which may occur with an extremely low probability of occurrence in any location;
b) where highly susceptible apparatus is used in close proximity of the equipment covered by
this document, in which case further measures may have to be taken.
The emission limits given are on the basis that the equipment of the product family range is
installed in traction substation areas.

Part 5: Emission and immunity of fixed
power supply installations and apparatus

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62236 applies to emission and immunity aspects of EMC for electrical and
electronic apparatus and systems intended for use in railway fixed installations for power
supply. This includes the power feed to the apparatus, the apparatus itself with its protective
control circuits, trackside items such as switching stations, power autotransformers, booster
transformers, substation power switchgear and power switchgear to other longitudinal and
local supplies.
Filters operating at railway system voltage (for example, for harmonic suppression or power
factor correction) are not included in this document since each site has special requirements.
Filters would normally have separate enclosures with separate rules for access. If
electromagnetic limits are required, these will appear in the specification for the equipment.
If a port is intended to transmit or receive for the purpose of radio communication (intentional
radiators, e.g. transponder systems), then the radiated emission requirements in this
document are not intended to be applicable to the intentional transmission from a radio-
transmitter as defined by the ITU.
The frequency range considered is from DC to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be
performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.
Emission and immunity limits are given for items of apparatus which are situated:
a) within the boundary of a substation which delivers electric power to a railway;
b) beside the track for the purpose of controlling or regulating the railway power supply,
including power factor correction;
c) along the track for the purpose of supplying electrical power to the railway other than by
means of the conductors used for contact current collection, and associated return
conductors. Included are high voltage feeder systems within the boundary of the railway
which supply substations at which the voltage is reduced to the railway system voltage;
d) beside the track for controlling or regulating electric power supplies to ancillary railway
uses. This category includes power supplies to marshalling yards, maintenance depots
and stations;
e) various other non-traction power supplies from railway sources which are shared with
railway traction.
The immunity levels given in this document apply for:
– vital equipment such as protection devices;
– equipment having connections to the traction power conductors;
– apparatus inside the 3 m zone;
– ports of apparatus inside the 10 m zone with connection inside the 3 m zone;
– ports of apparatus inside the 10 m zone with cable length > 30 m.
Apparatus and systems which are in an environment which can be described as residential,
commercial or light industry, even when placed within the physical boundary of the railway

substation, comply with IEC 61000-6-1 for immunity and IEC 61000-6-3 for emission
requirements.
Excluded from the immunity requirements of this document is power supply apparatus which
is intrinsically immune to the tests defined in Table 1 to Table 6 of this document.
NOTE An example is an 18 MVA 230 kV to 25 kV power supply transformer.
These specific provisions are used in conjunction with the general provisions in IEC 62236-1.

4 Performance criteria
The variety and diversity of the apparatus within the scope of this document make it difficult to
define precise criteria for the evaluation of the immunity test results. Three general levels of
performance are therefore used, as defined in IEC 62236-1.
5 Emission tests and limits
5.1 Emission from the traction substation to the outside world
Limit values for this emission, over the frequency range 150 kHz to 1 GHz are given in
IEC 62236-2.
Guidance values are given in IEC 62236-2 for emission of DC and power frequency magnetic
fields.
Conductors (overhead or underground) between the substation and the railway are part of the
railway installation, but because of their wide variety of positions and ampere loadings, limit
values cannot be set for the magnetic fields which they produce.
No limits are set for emissions into the active space of the underground railway due to the
complexities of obtaining measurements in the confined space and the lack of a precise
method of relating the measured values to the degree of disturbance which other apparatus
would suffer.
No measurements are necessary for total underground railway systems with no surface
operation.
5.2 Emission test for apparatus operating at less than 1 000 V r.m.s. AC
The emission limits for apparatus covered by this document which is supplied with electrical
power at a voltage below 1 000 V r.m.s. are given on a port by port basis in IEC 61000-6-4.
5.3 Emission values within the boundary of the substation
Because there is such a wide variety of options for the design and the construction of the
substation, limits are not given for emission within the general space inside the boundary of
the substation. Practical measurements have been made and guidance values are given in
Annex A. These are for information only and are not part of the normative content of this
document.
6 Immunity requirements
The immunity test requirements for apparatus covered by this document are given on a port
by port basis in Table 1 to Table 6.
Tests shall be conducted in a well-defined and reproducible manner. The tests shall be
carried out as single tests in sequence. The sequence of testing is optional.
The description of the tests, the test generator, the test methods, and the test set-up are
given in the Basic Standards which are referred to in Table 1 to Table 6. The contents of the
Basic Standards are not repeated herein, however, modifications or additional information
needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this document.
Where possible, the tests shall be made with a typical operating mode chosen to produce the
maximum susceptibility to disturbance in the frequency band being investigated, consistent

– 10 – IEC 62236-5:2018  IEC 2018
with normal applications. The manufacturer shall define the conditions of the test in the test
plan.
If the apparatus is part of a system or can be connected to auxiliary apparatus, then the
apparatus should preferably be tested while connected to the minimum configuration of
auxiliary apparatus necessary to exercise the test point in accordance with the general
methods of IEC 61000-4 series.
The configuration and mode of operation during the tests shall be precisely noted in the test
report. It is not always possible to test every function of the apparatus; in such cases the most
critical mode of operation should be selected.
The tests shall be carried out within the specified operating range for the apparatus and at its
rated supply voltage.
Some of the immunity levels are higher than those of the heavy industrial Generic Standard,
because this has been found necessary in practice.
Voltages induced by traction currents are not treated here. They have to be covered by the
functional specification (e.g. IEC 62497-1).

7 Fixed power supplies on railway property which are not used for railway
traction purposes
These are used for example for signalling systems, station services, office building services,
freight cranes and yard lighting.
They fall into two categories:
a) those that are supplied from non-railway sources. Examples are supplies from the local
public electricity supplier or from separate generators. These are outside the scope of this
document. For products in the scope of IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-3, IEC 61000-3-11 or
IEC 61000-3-12, the requirements of those standards also apply;
b) those that are supplied from railway sources which are shared with train traction. The
supply voltage may have a substantial harmonic content. The levels of immunity and
emission should be defined in agreement between the suppliers and client. Examples are
supplies from tertiary windings on rectifier transformers or from the railway AC overhead
via transformers.

Annex A
(informative)
Emission within the boundary of the substation
for normal operation and during the operation of switches
As part of the programme of work to measure the emission from the boundary of the
substation, measurements were made of emissions at radio frequencies inside the substation
boundary. The antennas were placed in safe positions and fields were measured during
normal operation and during the operation of switches. Peak values of field strength were
found. Similar values were found in both AC and DC systems. Antennas were 3 m from
switches during tests.
A sufficient number of results were obtained to allow Figure A.1 and Figure A.2 to be drawn.
These show the upper boundary of all results, for the frequency range 150 kHz to 1 000 MHz.
Values are peak fields, measured with CISPR 16-1-1 test apparatus and with the
recommended bandwidths.
Values are included in this annex for information only and are not the basis for limits. They
are an indication of the performance of apparatus of different ages and designs, now in use in
traction substations.
Substations have a wide range of configurations, ratings and system voltages. It has not been
found possible to set emission limits for apparatus which will be installed within the boundary
of the substation. Each specific substation will need to be the subject of detailed study to
ensure EMC between the various apparatus used inside the boundary.

WARNING: There is a danger of electric shock from uninsulated conductors in most
substations and any attempt to measure emissions from these conductors is to be done with
the most careful attention to ensuring safe methods of working.

IEC 62236-5:2018 is a standard that addresses the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electrical and electronic apparatus used in railway power supply installations. It covers both emission and immunity aspects of EMC.
