Railway applications - Insulation coordination - Part 1: Basic requirements - Clearances and creepage distances for all electrical and electronic equipment

This European Standard deals with insulation coordination in railways. It applies to equipment for use in signalling, rolling stock and fixed installations. Insulation coordination is concerned with the selection, dimensioning and correlation of insulation both within and between items of equipment. In dimensioning insulation, electrical stresses and environmental conditions are taken into account. For the same conditions and stresses, these dimensions are the same. An objective of insulation coordination is to avoid unnecessary over dimensioning of insulation. This standard specifies: - requirements for clearances and creepage distances for equipment; - general requirements for tests pertaining to insulation coordination. The term equipment relates to a section as defined in 3.3 it may apply to a system, a sub-system, an apparatus, a part of an apparatus, or a physical realization of an equipotential line. This standard does not deal with: - distances through solid or liquid insulation; - distances through gases other than air; - distances through air not at atmospheric pressure; - equipment used under extreme conditions. Product standards should align with this generic standard. However, they may require, with justification, different requirements due to safety and/or reliability reasons, e.g. for signalling, and/or particular operating conditions of the equipment itself, e.g. overhead contact lines which should comply with EN 50119. This standard also gives provisions for dielectric tests (type tests or routine tests) on equipment (see Annex B). NOTE For safety critical systems, specific requirements are needed. These requirements are given in the product specific signalling standard EN 50129.

Bahnanwendungen - Isolationskoordination - Teil 1: Grundlegende Anforderungen - Luft- und Kriechstrecken für alle elektrischen und elektronischen Betriebsmittel

Applications ferroviaires - Coordination de l'isolement - Partie 1: Prescriptions fondamentales - Distances d'isolement dans l'air et lignes de fuite pour tout matériel électrique et électronique

La présente Norme européenne traite de la coordination de l'isolement dans le domaine ferroviaire. Elle s'applique aux matériels utilisés en signalisation, matériels roulants et installations fixes. La coordination de l'isolement porte sur le choix, le dimensionnement et la corrélation de l'isolement tant à l'intérieur des matériels qu'entre eux. Pour le dimensionnement de l'isolement, il est tenu compte des contraintes électriques et des conditions d’environnement. Ces dimensions sont les mêmes lorsque les conditions et contraintes sont les mêmes. L'un des objectifs de la coordination de l'isolement est d'éviter de surdimensionner inutilement l'isolement. La présente norme définit: - des exigences relatives aux distances d'isolement dans l'air et aux lignes de fuite applicables aux matériels; - des exigences générales pour les essais concernant la coordination de l'isolement. Le terme "matériels" se rapporte à une section, telle que définie en 3.3; il peut s'appliquer à un système, un sous-système, un appareil, une partie d'appareil ou une réalisation physique de ligne équipotentielle. La présente norme ne traite pas: - des distances à travers une isolation solide ou liquide; - des distances à travers des gaz autres que l'air; - des distances à travers de l'air qui n'est pas à pression atmosphérique; - des matériels utilisés en conditions extrêmes. Il convient que les normes de produit s’alignent sur la présente norme générique. Cependant, ces normes peuvent requérir, moyennant justification, des exigences différentes du fait de raisons de sécurité et/ou de fiabilité, induites par la signalisation par exemple, et/ou par des conditions de fonctionnement particulières du matériel proprement dit, par exemple, des lignes aériennes de contact dont il convient qu’elles soient conformes à l'EN 50119. La présente norme donne également des dispositions applicables aux essais diélectriques (essais de type ou essais individuels de série) réalisés sur les matériels (voir Annexe B). NOTE Des exigences spécifiques sont nécessaires pour les systèmes de sécurité critique. Ces exigences sont déterminées dans la norme spécifique de produit relative à la signalisation, l’EN 50129.

Železniške naprave - Uskladitev izolacije - 1. del: Osnovne zahteve - Izolacijske in plazilne razdalje za vso električno in elektronsko opremo

Ta del standarda EN 50124 obravnava uskladitev izolacije pri železnicah. Uporablja se za opremo za signalizacijo, vozna sredstva in stabilne naprave električne vleke.
Uskladitev izolacije zadeva izbiro, dimenzioniranje in korelacijo izolacije znotraj opreme in med elementi opreme. Pri dimenzioniranju izolacije se upoštevajo električne obremenitve in okoljski pogoji. Za enake pogoje in obremenitve so dimenzije enake.
Cilj uskladitve izolacije je preprečitev nepotrebnega prekomernega dimenzioniranja izolacije.
Ta standard določa:
zahteve za izolacijske in plazilne razdalje za opremo;
splošne zahteve za preskuse, ki se nanašajo na uskladitev izolacije.
Izraz »oprema« se nanaša na razdelek, kot je opredeljeno v točki 3.3, in se lahko uporablja za sistem, podsistem, napravo, del naprave ali fizično realizacijo izenačitve potencialov.
Ta standard ne obravnava:
razdalj skozi trdno ali tekočo izolacijo;
razdalj skozi pline, razen zraka;
razdalj skozi zrak ne pri atmosferskem tlaku;
opremo, ki se uporablja v ekstremnih pogojih.
Standardi za proizvode morajo biti usklajeni s tem splošnim standardom.
Vendar pa lahko z utemeljitvijo zahtevajo različne zahteve zaradi varnosti in/ali zanesljivosti, npr. za signalizacijo, in/ali posebne pogoje za uporabo same opreme, npr. kontaktnih vodnikov, ki morajo biti skladni s standardom EN 50119.
Ta standard vsebuje tudi določbe za dielektrične preskuse (tipske in rutinske preskuse) na opremi (glej dodatek B).
OPOMBA: Za ključne varnostne sisteme so potrebne posebne zahteve. Te zahteve so podane v standardu za signalizacijo za posamezen proizvod EN 50129.
