Fixed installations and rolling stock for railway applications - Technical criteria for the coordination between electric traction power supply systems and rolling stock to achieve interoperability - Part 1: General
Abstract
This document establishes requirements for the electrical aspects to achieve technical compatibility between rolling stock and electric traction systems, limited to: — co-ordination of protection principles between power supply and traction units, i.e. separation sections, train set current or power limitation, short circuit current discrimination, circuit breaker coordination and use of regenerative braking; — co-ordination of installed power on the line and the power demand of trains, i.e. traction unit power factor, train set current or power limitation, electric system performance, type and characterization; — compatibility assessment relating to harmonics and dynamic effects. Informative values are given for some parts of the existing European railway networks, in annexes.
