Railway applications - Fixed installations - Particular requirements for alternating current switchgear - Part 1: Circuit-breakers with nominal voltage above 1 kV
This EN 50152-1 is applicable to single-pole and two-pole alternating current (a.c.) circuit-breakers which are:
- for indoor or outdoor fixed installations in tractions systems, and
- operated with an a.c. line voltage and frequency as specified in EN 50163.
NOTE 1 EN 50163 specifies the a.c. traction systems 15 kV 16,7 Hz and 25 kV 50 Hz. NOTE 2 As rails of a.c. traction systems are connected to earth and included in the return current path all phase to earth voltages will be within the tolerances as specified in EN 50163. Nevertheless phase to phase voltages are sometimes higher e.g. in autotransformer systems. This European Standard is also applicable to the operating devices of circuit-breakers and to their auxiliary equipment. This European Standard does not address circuit-breakers with dependent manual operating mechanism. NOTE 3 It is impossible to specify a rated short-circuit making current for these circuit-breakers and it is likely that such dependent manual operation is not meeting safety considerations.

Železniške naprave - Stabilne naprave električne vleke - Posebne zahteve za stikalne naprave za izmenični tok - 1. del: Tokovni odklopniki za nazivno napetost nad 1 kV
Ta standard EN 50152-1 se uporablja pri tokovnih odklopnikih z enopolnim ali dvopolnim izmeničnim tokom (a.c.), za katere velja:
– uporabljajo se za notranje ali zunanje pričvrščene naprave v vlečnih sistemih in
– uporabljajo izmenični tok linijskega vodnika, kot je navedeno v standardu EN 50163.
OPOMBA 1 Standard EN 50163 določa vlečne sisteme z izmeničnim tokom 15 kV 16,7 Hz in 25 kV 50 Hz. OPOMBA 2 Ker so tiri vlečnih sistemov z izmeničnim tokom ozemljeni in vključeni v pot povratnega toka, bodo vsi vodniki do ozemljitve v mejah toka, ki so določene v standardu EN 50163. Kljub temu so lahko napetosti med vodniki višje kot na primer v sistemih z avtotransformatorji. Ta evropski standard se uporablja tudi za upravljalne naprave za tokovne odklopnike in njihovo zunanjo opremo. Ta evropski standard ne obravnava tokovnih odklopnikov z odvisnimi ročnimi upravljalnimi mehanizmi. OPOMBA 3 Za te tokovne odklopnike je nemogoče določiti naznačeni tok, ki povzroča kratki stik, in je zato verjetno, da tako odvisno ročno opravljanje ne upošteva varnostnih zahtev.

Standard values of transient recovery voltage have been taken from different tables to one, Table 2. Ratings
of mechanical endurance previously given under the clause ‘type tests’ were moved to the new Table 4
‘Mechanical endurance classes’. Standard values of prospective transient recovery voltage have been taken
from different tables to one, Table 5. Table 6 ‘Coordination table of rated values for circuit-breakers’ of the
previous version was removed.

Introduction
This standard needs to be read in conjunction with EN 62271-1:2008 and EN 62271-100:2009.
Where a particular clause of EN 62271-100 is not mentioned in this standard, that clause applies as far as
reasonable. Where requirements relate exclusively to three-phase systems or to voltages outside those in
use in traction systems, they are not applicable. Where this standard states "addition" or "replacement", the
relevant text of EN 62271-100 needs to be adapted accordingly.
The numbering of clauses in EN 62271 series is not used in this European Standard. The numbering in
square brackets refers to the numbering of clauses in EN 62271.
Where terms defined in EN 62271-1 and EN 62271-100 conflict with definitions of the same terms as given in
IEC 60050-811:1991 or of the other railway applications documents listed in the normative references, the
definitions in EN 62271-1 and EN 62271-100 need to be used.
NOTE The suffix N which appears in this standard for rated values is not present in EN 62271-1 and EN 62271-100.
References in subclauses of EN 62271-1 and EN 62271-100 need to be replaced by references to
applicable subclauses in this standard as far as reasonably possible.

1 Scope
This EN 50152-1 is applicable to single-pole and two-pole alternating current (a.c.) circuit-breakers which
are:
for indoor or outdoor fixed installations in tractions systems, and
operated with an a.c. line voltage and frequency as specified in EN 50163.
NOTE 1 EN 50163 specifies the a.c. traction systems 15 kV 16,7 Hz and 25 kV 50 Hz.
NOTE 2 As rails of a.c. traction systems are connected to earth and included in the return current path all phase to
earth voltages will be within the tolerances as specified in EN 50163. Nevertheless phase to phase voltages are
sometimes higher e.g. in autotransformer systems.
This European Standard is also applicable to the operating devices of circuit-breakers and to their auxiliary
equipment.
This European Standard does not address circuit-breakers with dependent manual operating mechanism.
NOTE 3 It is impossible to specify a rated short-circuit making current for these circuit-breakers and it is likely that
such dependent manual operation is not meeting safety considerations.
