Foreword
This document (EN 50317:2012) has been prepared by CLC/SC 9XC, "Electric supply and earthing systems
for public transport equipment and ancillary apparatus (Fixed installations)", of CLC/TC 9X, "Electrical and
electronic applications for railways".
The following dates are fixed:

• latest date by which this document has to be
implemented at national level by publication of (dop) 2012-12-26

endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards
conflicting with this document have to (dow) 2014-12-26
be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50317:2002 + A1:2004 + A2:2007.
EN 50317:2012 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to

- new definitions for “cord force”, “mean contact force” and “total mean uplift force” (Clause 3);
- updated abbreviation lists (Clause 4);
- requirements for examination of total mean uplift force and aerodynamic portions (new Clause 6);
- a clear relation between the different portions of contact force (7.1);
- limits for aerodynamic influences of the force measurement system (7.2);
- the aerodynamic correction for measured contact forces (7.4);
- corrections and elaborations for calibration of force measurement (7.5);
- adjustment of filter requirements (7.6);
- adjustment of accuracy requirements for measurement of displacements (Clause 8);
- updated requirements for measurement of arcing (Clause 9).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

5 General
The measurement of the interaction of the contact line and the pantograph is intended to prove the safety of
operation and the quality of the current collection system. Results of measurements of different current
collection systems shall be comparable, to approve components for free access within Europe.
NOTE Measured values are also required for validation of simulation programs and other measurement systems.
To check the performance capability of the current collection system at least the following data shall be
measured:
