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.

55 Introduction
56 High power electronic equipment, together with low power microcontrollers and other electronic
57 devices, are being installed on trains in great numbers. Electromagnetic compatibility has therefore
58 become a critical issue for the design of train-related apparatus as well as of the train as a whole.
59 This document for rolling stock sets limits for electromagnetic emission and immunity in order to
60 ensure a well functioning system within its intended environment.
61 Immunity limits are not given for the complete vehicle. EN 50121-3-2 defines requirements for the
62 apparatus installed in the rolling stock, since it is impractical to test the complete unit. An EMC plan
63 includes equipment covered by this document.

115 4 Applicability
116 Generally, it is not possible to test electromagnetic compatibility invoking every function of the rolling
117 stock. The tests shall be made at typical operating modes considered to produce the largest emission.
118 The typical operating mode shall require all systems to be energised which are normally in continuous
119 operation during service. It is not necessary during the test to exercise systems which operate
120 transiently such as for example operation of internal doors, although they should be energised. It is not
121 necessary to test degraded modes of operation.
122 The configuration and mode of operation shall be specified in the test plan and the actual conditions
123 during the tests shall be precisely noted in the test report.
124 Basically, all apparatus to be integrated into a vehicle meet the requirements of EN 50121-3-2. In
125 exceptional cases, where apparatus meets another EMC Standard, but full compliance with
126 EN 50121-3-2 is not demonstrated, EMC is ensured by adequate integration measures of the
127 apparatus into the vehicle system and/or by an appropriate EMC analysis and test which justifies
128 deviating from EN 50121-3-2.
129 The frequency range considered is from 0 Hz (DC) to 400 GHz. No measurements need to be
130 performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified.
131 5 Immunity requirements
132 No tests are applied to the complete vehicle. It is expected that the assembly of the apparatus into a
133 complete vehicle will give adequate immunity, provided that an EMC plan has been prepared and
134 implemented, taking into account the requirements in EN 50121-3-2.
135 6 Emission tests and limits
136 6.1 General
137 The emission tests and limits for rolling stock in this standard should ensure as far as possible that the
138 rolling stock does not interfere with typical installations in the vicinity of the railway system.
139 Measurements shall be performed in well-defined and reproducible conditions. It is not possible to
140 totally separate the effects of the railway system and the stock under test. For radiated emissions, the
141 test conditions are defined in 6.3.1 and 6.3.2.
142 NOTE 1 Signalling and communication, train radio and other railway systems (axle counters, track circuits,
143 train control systems, etc.) are different in every country in terms of operating frequencies and waveforms.
144 Therefore, compatibility requirements are specified according to the type of signalling and communication
145 systems used (see e.g. EN 50238 series).
146 NOTE 2 There may be cases in which radio or other railway external services with working frequencies below
147 150 kHz are in operation close to the railway. The EMC management plan covers these cases and an adequate
148 level of emission from the railway on these working frequencies may be found in the values given in informative
149 Annex C hence no guarantee can be given for an undisturbed operation.
150 6.2 Interference on outside party telecommunication lines
151 6.2.1 Digital telecommunication lines
152 Interference with digital systems such as PCM, ISDN, xDSL are not covered in this European
153 Standard.
154 It should be noted that these systems operate in a higher frequency range using multiple carriers and
155 various automatic error correction protocols.
156 It is considered unlikely that rolling stock can produce sufficient interference in this frequency range.

157 6.2.2 Analogue telecommunication lines
158 No harmonized limits apply.
159 Information about interference on telecommunication lines can be found in Annex A.
160 6.3 Radiated electromagnetic disturbances
161 6.3.1 Test site
162 It can be assumed, that measurements will not take place in laboratory conditions. Trees, walls,
163 bridges, tunnels or other conductive objects in the vicinity of the measurement antenna could have an
164 impact on the measurement. Other railway vehicles operating in the same feeding section or nearby
165 the measuring point may affect the measurement result. Overhead/third rail discontinuities as well as
166 substations, power lines, buried lines, transformers, neutral sections, section insulators etc. close to
167 the measuring point may cause additional variations.
168 These influences shall be reduced as far as practical but in any case no obstacles above rail level
169 which may influence the measurements shall be located between antenna and EUT.
170 The overhead/third rail should be a continuous line as far as practical on both sides of the
171 measurement point (typically at least 200 m).
172 Since it is impossible to avoid the support masts of the overhead, the measurement point shall be at
173 the midpoint between masts, on the opposite side of the track (in case of a double track, on the side of
174 the track which is being used). If the railway system is powered by a third rail, the antenna shall be on
175 the same side of the track (worst case).
176 Since resonances may occur in the overhead line at radio-frequencies, it may be necessary to change
177 the test site. The exact location of the test site and features of both the site and the overhead system
178 layout shall be noted.
179 The contribution of the substation may be considered when assessing the emissions from the vehicle.
180 Note that the contribution of a DC substation depends on its load current and will not be measured
181 properly in a no-load condition.
182 At the beginning and at the end of the test series the ambient noise shall be recorded. This
183 measurement shall be done without any influence of the vehicle.
184 If at specific frequencies or in specific frequency ranges the ambient noise is higher than the limit
185 values less 6 dB, the measurements at these frequencies need not be considered. These frequencies
186 shall be noted in the test report.
187 NOTE It may be helpful to perform this ambient noise measurement also with the vehicle completely
188 powered down in front of the antenna.
189 6.3.2 Test conditions
190 The tests shall cover the operation of all systems onboard the rolling stock which may produce radiated
191 emissions.
192 Hauled stock (a representative version) shall be tested while stationary in an energ
