This document specifies requirements for the test and acceptance of simulation tools used for the design of DC electric traction power supply systems for urban rail guided mass transport systems, such as tramways, elevated and underground railways, mountain railways, trolleybus systems, and magnetically levitated systems which use a contact line system. The validation process will be carried out for the 750 V DC voltage, and other voltages can be validated with the cross-acceptance.
This document focuses on the validation of the core simulation functions comprising the equations and functions which calculate:
- the mechanical movement of trains and
- the load flow of the electrical traction power supply system.
NOTE 1 This document provides only the requirements for demonstration of the algorithms and calculations of core functions. The use of a validated simulation tool in accordance with this document does not in itself, demonstrate good practice in electric traction power supply system design, neither does it guarantee that the simulation models and data for infrastructure or trains used in the tool are correct for a given application. The choice and application of any models and data, of individual system components, in a design is therefore subject to additional verification processes and not in the scope of this document. Competent development of design models and full understanding of the limits of design tools remain requirements in any system design. This document does not reduce any element of the need for competent designers to lead the design process.
This document also specifies procedures for the modification of simulation tools, in particular the limits of applicability of acceptance when tools are modified. These procedures focus on determining whether the core functions of the simulation model are modified.
Because the purpose of this standard deals with the verification of the core functionality, the test case described in this document does not represent an existing network.
NOTE 2 Additionally, the application of this document ensures that the output data of different simulation tools are consistent and verifiable when they are using the same set of input data as given in this document.
This document excludes complex models with active components such as controlled rectifiers and inverters.
This document does not mandate the use of a particular simulation tool in order to validate the design of an electric traction power supply system.
This document does not deal with validation of simulation tools by measurement.
The document is not applicable to the validation of simulation tools with respect to:
- short circuit studies;
- electrical safety studies (e.g. rail potential);
- harmonic studies;
- studies of transient phenomena; and
- electromagnetic compatibility studies over a wide frequency spectrum.

This document establishes the acceptance criteria according to EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2 for compatibility between traction units and power supply for known phenomena and known technologies. That is in relation to:
- co-ordination between controlled elements and also between these elements and resonances in the electrical infrastructure in order to achieve network system stability;
- co-ordination of harmonic behaviour with respect to excitation of electrical resonances.
The following electric traction systems are within the scope:
- railways;
- guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways;
- material transport systems that are integrated with railways.
Public three-phase networks are out of the scope, but networks which are dedicated to railways are included.
This document is applied in accordance with the requirements in EN 50388-1:2022, Clause 10. It does not apply retrospectively to rolling stock or railway power supply elements already in service.
It is the aim of this Part 2 to support acceptance of new elements (rolling stock or infrastructure) by specifying precise requirements and methods for demonstration of compliance. This document acts as “code of practice” quoted in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2. However, it is still admissible to use the process as defined in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.3 instead.
This version of the standard only applies to AC systems. Later versions might include similar effects in DC networks in addition, see Annex D.
The main phenomena identified and treated in this document are:
- electrical resonance stability;
- low frequency stability;
- overvoltages caused by harmonics.
The interaction with signalling (including track circuits) is not dealt with in this document.

This document specifies parameters for the design and usage of axle counter systems.
For this, this document specifies the technical parameters of axle counter systems associated with the magnetic field limits for RST in the context of interoperability. In addition, test methods are defined for establishing the conformity and the performance of an axle counter detector.
This document is intended to be used to assess compliance of axle counter systems and other forms of wheel sensors used for train detection, in the context of the European Directive on the interoperability of the trans-European railway system and the associated technical specification for interoperability relating to the control-command and signalling track-side subsystems.
This document can also be used for axle counter systems installed on lines which are not declared as interoperable (including metro and tram lines).
For wheel sensors and wheel detectors in other applications than axle counters but using the same sensors on the rail and detection circuits, transient and continuous interference can be considered as equivalent to axle counter detectors or axle counter sensors.
Under interoperability, the frequency bands and rolling stock emission limits are currently defined in the axle counter FrM as specified in the ERA/ERTMS/033281 document.

This document defines the measurement and evaluation methods of rolling stock interference current emissions to demonstrate compatibility with track circuits. This includes rolling stock with or without traction equipment. The established limits for compatibility are defined in ERA/ERTMS/033281, PD CLC/TS 50238-2 or NNTRs as current flowing between the vehicle and the electric traction power supply system that can disturb the track circuit receiver, as part of the track circuit system. Additionally, the referred documents can define a minimum rolling stock impedance in order to guarantee compatibility between the electric traction power supply system and track circuits.
This document is relevant to the interference current limits defined in the "frequency management" for track circuits as defined in ERA/ERTMS/033281. It is also applicable to the demonstration of compatibility with all other types of track circuits which have established compatibility according to EN 50617-1. Finally, the methodology defined in this document can also be applied to other track circuit types, including those for which the only requirements are defined in NNTRs.
NOTE 1 Interface parameters between rolling stock and track circuits other than interference currents and impedance are out of the scope of this document.
NOTE 2 For track circuits prone to wrong side failures additional precautions might be needed to mitigate safety risks. The necessary precautions and safety considerations are outside the scope of this document, but can be found in NNTRs.

This document specifies parameters for the design and usage of axle counter systems. For this, this document specifies the technical parameters of axle counter systems associated with the magnetic field limits for RST in the context of interoperability. In addition, test methods are defined for establishing the conformity and the performance of an axle counter detector. This document is intended to be used to assess compliance of axle counter systems and other forms of wheel sensors used for train detection, in the context of the European Directive on the interoperability of the trans-European railway system and the associated technical specification for interoperability relating to the control-command and signalling track-side subsystems. This document can also be used for axle counter systems installed on lines which are not declared as interoperable (including metro and tram lines). For wheel sensors and wheel detectors in other applications than axle counters but using the same sensors on the rail and detection circuits, transient and continuous interference can be considered as equivalent to axle counter detectors or axle counter sensors. Under interoperability, the frequency bands and rolling stock emission limits are currently defined in the axle counter FrM as specified in the ERA/ERTMS/033281 document.

This document specifies requirements for the test and acceptance of simulation tools used for the design of DC electric traction power supply systems for urban rail guided mass transport systems, such as tramways, elevated and underground railways, mountain railways, trolleybus systems, and magnetically levitated systems which use a contact line system. The validation process will be carried out for the 750 V DC voltage, and other voltages can be validated with the cross-acceptance. This document focuses on the validation of the core simulation functions comprising the equations and functions which calculate: - the mechanical movement of trains and - the load flow of the electrical traction power supply system. NOTE 1 This document provides only the requirements for demonstration of the algorithms and calculations of core functions. The use of a validated simulation tool in accordance with this document does not in itself, demonstrate good practice in electric traction power supply system design, neither does it guarantee that the simulation models and data for infrastructure or trains used in the tool are correct for a given application. The choice and application of any models and data, of individual system components, in a design is therefore subject to additional verification processes and not in the scope of this document. Competent development of design models and full understanding of the limits of design tools remain requirements in any system design. This document does not reduce any element of the need for competent designers to lead the design process. This document also specifies procedures for the modification of simulation tools, in particular the limits of applicability of acceptance when tools are modified. These procedures focus on determining whether the core functions of the simulation model are modified. Because the purpose of this standard deals with the verification of the core functionality, the test case described in this document does not represent an existing network. NOTE 2 Additionally, the application of this document ensures that the output data of different simulation tools are consistent and verifiable when they are using the same set of input data as given in this document. This document excludes complex models with active components such as controlled rectifiers and inverters. This document does not mandate the use of a particular simulation tool in order to validate the design of an electric traction power supply system. This document does not deal with validation of simulation tools by measurement. The document is not applicable to the validation of simulation tools with respect to: - short circuit studies; - electrical safety studies (e.g. rail potential); - harmonic studies; - studies of transient phenomena; and - electromagnetic compatibility studies over a wide frequency spectrum.

This document specifies requirements for the protective provisions relating to electrical safety in fixed installations, when it is reasonably likely that hazardous voltages or currents will arise for people or equipment, as a result of the mutual interaction of AC and DC electric power supply traction systems.
It also applies to all aspects of fixed installations that are necessary to ensure electrical safety during maintenance work within electric power supply traction systems.
The mutual interaction can be of any of the following kinds:
— parallel running of AC and DC electric traction power supply systems;
— crossing of AC and DC electric traction power supply systems;
— shared use of tracks, buildings or other structures;
— system separation sections between AC and DC electric traction power supply systems.
The scope is limited to galvanic, inductive and capacitive coupling of the fundamental frequency voltages and currents and their superposition.
This document applies to all new lines, extensions and to all major revisions to existing lines for the following electric traction power supply systems:
a) railways;
b) guided mass transport systems such as:
1) tramways,
2) elevated and underground railways,

This document specifies requirements for the acceptance of simulation tools used for the assessment of design of electric traction power supply systems with respect to TSI Energy. This document is applicable to the simulation of AC and DC electric traction power supply systems, in the frame of assessment required by Directive (EU) 2016/797. The methods and parameters defined in this document are only intended for use in the design of the electric traction power supply system, and hence this document solely considers validation of tools within the TSI energy subsystem for all envisaged railway networks. This document does not deal with validation of simulation tools by measurement. This document focuses on the core simulation functions comprising the equations and functions which calculate the mechanical movement of trains and also which calculate the load flow of the electrical traction power supply system. In doing so this document provides all requirements necessary to demonstrate that a simulation tool may be used for the purposes of TSI approval of electric traction power supply systems. Any simulation tool which meets the acceptance requirements of the test cases in this document can be used to determine TSI compatibility for all systems of the same voltage and frequency without any requirement for further validation as part of the TSI assessment process. This document includes controls for the modification of simulation tools, in particular the limits of applicability of certification when tools are modified. These controls focus on determining whether the core functions of the simulation model are modified. This document provides only the requirements for demonstration of the algorithms and calculations of core functions. The use of a certified simulation tool in accordance with this document does not, in itself, demonstrate good practice in electric traction power supply system design, neither does it guarantee that the simulation models and data for infrastructure or trains used in the tool are correct for a given application. The choice and application of any models and data, of individual system components, in a design is therefore subject to additional verification processes and not in the Scope of this document. Competent development of design models and full understanding of the limits of design tools remain requirements in any system design. This document does not reduce any element of the need for competent designers to lead the design process. The test cases and data shown in Clause 6 in this document do not represent an existing network, but these data are used as theoretical/virtual network only for the purpose of verification of the core functionality. NOTE A new test case will be drafted considering metro, tramways and trolleybuses using DC 600 V or DC 750 V. Until this test case is available, this document can also be applied to subway, tram and trolley bus systems. This test case will also integrate rail systems using DC 750 V. Additionally, the application of this document ensures that the output data of different simulation tools are consistent when they are using the same set of input data listed in Clause 6. This document only applies to the simulation of electric traction power supply systems characteristics at their nominal frequency for AC or DC systems. It does not consider harmonic studies, electrical safety studies (e.g. rail potential), short circuit or electromagnetic compatibility studies over a wide frequency spectrum. This document does not mandate the use of a particular simulation tool in order to validate the design of an electric traction power supply system. This document does not consider complex models with active components such as static frequency convertors.
