Railway Applications - Fixed installations and rolling stock - Technical criteria for the coordination between traction power supply and rolling stock to achieve interoperability - Part 1: general

This European Standard establishes requirements for the technical compatibility of rolling stock with infrastructure particularly in relation to:
-   co-ordination of protection principles between power supply and traction units, especially fault discrimination for short-circuits;
-   co-ordination of installed power on the line and the power demand of trains;
-   co-ordination of traction unit regenerative braking and power supply receptivity;
-   co-ordination of harmonic behaviour (see prEN 50388 2).
This European Standard deals with the definition and quality requirements of the power supply at the interface between traction units and fixed installations.
This European Standard specifies the interface between rolling stock and electrical fixed installations for traction, in respect of the power supply system. The interaction between pantograph and overhead contact line is dealt with in EN 50367. The interaction with the "control-command" subsystem (especially signalling) is not dealt with in this standard.
Values are given for the existing European networks. Furthermore the maximum values that are specified are applicable to the foreseen developments of the infrastructure of the Trans European rail networks.
The following electric traction systems are within scope:
-   railways;
-   guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways;
-   material transport systems that are integrated with railways.
As far as a migration strategy is not defined in legal documents referring to this standard, this European Standard does not apply retrospectively to rolling stock and infrastructure already in service.
Information is given on electrification parameters such as to enable train operating companies to confirm, after consultation with the rolling stock manufacturers, that there will be no consequential disturbance on the electrification system.

Bahnanwendungen - Ortsfeste Anlagen und Bahnfahrzeuge - Technische Kriterien für die Koordination zwischen Anlagen der Bahnenergieversorgung und Fahrzeugen zum Erreichen der Interoperabilität - Teil 1: Allgemeines

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen für die technische Kompatibilität von Bahnfahrzeugen mit der Infrastruktur fest, insbesondere im Bereich der
–   Koordination von Schutzprinzipien zwischen der Energieversorgung und Triebfahrzeugeinheiten, speziell der Fehlerkriterien für Kurzschlüsse;
–   Koordination der streckenseitig installierten Leistung mit dem Leistungsbedarf der Züge;
–   Koordination der Nutzbremsung der Triebfahrzeugeinheiten mit der Aufnahmefähigkeit der Energie-versorgung;
–   Koordination des Oberschwingungsverhaltens (siehe prEN 50388 2).
Diese Europäische Norm befasst sich mit der Definition und den qualitativen Anforderungen an die Energie-versorgung an der Schnittstelle zwischen der Triebfahrzeugeinheit und den ortsfesten Anlagen.
Diese Europäische Norm spezifiziert die Schnittstelle zwischen Bahnfahrzeugen und ortsfesten elektrischen Anlagen der Zugförderung hinsichtlich des Energieversorgungsystems. Die Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Dachstromabnehmer und der Oberleitung wird in EN 50367 behandelt. Die Wechselwirkung mit dem Teil-system der „Zugsicherung/Zugsteuerung“ (insbesondere mit der Signaltechnik) wird in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Es werden Werte für die bestehenden europäischen Netze angegeben. Außerdem sind die festgelegten Höchstwerte anwendbar auf vorgesehene Entwicklungen der Infrastruktur des Transeuropäischen Eisen-bahnnetzes.
Der Anwendungsbereich gilt für die folgenden elektrischen Zugförderungssysteme:
–   Eisenbahnen;
–   spurgeführte Nahverkehrssysteme, die in Eisenbahnen integriert sind;
–   Materialtransportsysteme, die in Eisenbahnen integriert sind.
Wenn keine Migrationsstrategie in rechtsgültigen Dokumenten festgelegt ist, die sich auf diese Norm bezieht, gilt diese Europäische Norm nicht rückwirkend für Bahnfahrzeuge und Infrastruktur, die sich bereits in Betrieb befinden.
Es werden Informationen über Elektrifizierungsparameter gegeben, um es Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen nach Rücksprache mit den Fahrzeugherstellern zu ermöglichen, die Bestätigung abzugeben, dass es keine Folgestörungen im Elektrifizierungssystem geben wird.

Applications ferroviaires - Installations fixes et matériel roulant - Critères techniques pour la coordination entre les installations fixes de traction électrique et le matériel roulant pour réaliser l’interopérabilité - partie 1 : généralités

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences relatives à la compatibilité technique du matériel roulant avec l'infrastructure existante, notamment en ce qui concerne :
-   la coordination des mesures de protection entre l'alimentation électrique et les unités de traction, et plus particulièrement la discrimination des défauts lors des courts-circuits ;
-   la coordination entre la puissance installée d'une ligne et la demande en énergie des trains ;
-   la coordination entre le freinage par récupération d'une unité de traction et la réceptivité de l'alimentation électrique ;
-   la coordination du comportement vis-à-vis des harmoniques (voir prEN 50388 2).
La présente Norme européenne porte sur la définition et les exigences de la qualité de l'alimentation électrique au niveau de l'interface entre les unités de traction et les installations fixes.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie l'interface entre le matériel roulant et les installations fixes de traction électrique dans le cadre du système d'alimentation électrique. L'interaction entre le pantographe et la ligne aérienne de contact est abordée dans l'EN 50367. L'interaction avec le sous-système « contrôle-commande » (en particulier la signalisation) n'est pas traitée dans cette norme.
Des valeurs sont données pour les réseaux européens actuels. De plus, les valeurs maximales spécifiées s'appliquent aux projets de développement de l'infrastructure des réseaux ferroviaires transeuropéens.
Les systèmes de traction électrique suivants relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme :
-   les chemins de fer ;
-   les systèmes guidés de transport en commun qui sont intégrés avec les chemins de fer ;
-   les systèmes de transport de matériaux qui sont intégrés avec les chemins de fer.
Tant qu'aucune stratégie de migration n'a été établie dans les documents juridiques se référant à la présente norme, la présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas de manière rétroactive au matériel roulant et à l'infrastructure déjà en service.
L'information sur les paramètres d'électrification est donnée pour permettre aux exploitants ferroviaires de confirmer, après consultation des constructeurs de matériel roulant, que le système d'électrification ne fera pas l'objet de perturbations consécutives.
