document.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national committee. A complete
listing of these bodies can be found on the CENELEC website.
1 Modification to Clause 2, Normative references
Delete “IEC 60050-811:2017, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 811: Electric traction”.
2 Modifications to Clause 3, Terms and definitions
Replace the introductory text with the following:
“For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/”
Replace the definition of 3.11 maximum design contact wire height with the following:
"theoretical contact wire height taking account of tolerances, movements, etc., designed to ensure the maximum
contact wire height is not exceeded
[SOURCE: EN 50119:2020, 3.1.5.8]"
3 Modification to 5.1, General
Exchange the first and second paragraph.
In the third paragraph change “applies” to “apply”.
4 Modification to 5.2.2, Infrastructure gauge for free passage of pantograph
In the fourth paragraph, second sentence (last sentence before Note 2), replace the word “can” with the word
“may”.
5 Modification to 5.2.3, Contact wire height
In Table 1, Contact wire height and gradient for AC and DC systems, in the last row, last column, replace “No
gradient” with “in accordance with EN 50119:2020, Table 12”.
6 Modification to 5.2.5.1, General
Replace the second sentence after Table 2 “The wind speeds and pantograph head lengths used to calculate
the limit of lateral deviation, needs to be defined.” with “The wind speeds and pantograph head lengths used to
calculate the limit of lateral deviation shall be defined.”
7 Modification to 5.2.7, Neutral sections
Replace the text of the last bullet with “adequate means shall be provided to allow a train that is stopped within
the neutral section to be restarted, except for short neutral sections as set out in Annex A, A.1.3.” and delete
the following NOTE.
8 Modification to 6.3, Contact strips

9 Modifications to 7.2, Static contact forces and current capacity
Replace the first sentence after the bullet list “The current demand of the train shall comply with the working
limits of the overhead contact line as set out in EN 50388:2012.” with “The current demand of the train as set
out in EN 50388:2012, 7.3 shall comply with the working limits of the overhead contact line.”
Replace the sentence inside Table 5, last row “The overhead contact line is designed to accept as a minimum
the value of current at standstill per pantograph stated here.” with “The overhead contact line shall be designed
to accept, as a minimum, the value of current at standstill per pantograph stated in this table.”
Replace the first paragraph after Table 5 with the following:
“For DC systems the maximum current at standstill shall be assessed in accordance with the test specified in
Annex A.3.
For pantograph assessment, the current at standstill shall be as a minimum, in accordance with Table 5 for
interoperable use, or a value in accordance with the specific vehicle consumption.”
After the now third paragraph, ending in "with the maximum current at standstill for this traction unit.", add the
following fourth paragraph:
“For the OCL assessment, the current collected by the pantograph shall be as a minimum, equal to the current
in Table 5.”
Rename the Note as "NOTE 1" and add the following Note 2:
“
NOTE 2 The figure for AC railways of 80 A has been derived empirically from experience gained from networks and
therefore does not require further testing.”
10 Modifications to 7.3, Dynamic behaviour and quality of current collection
Replace the second sentence in the sixth paragraph with: “The values to be achieved by the chosen method
are set out in Tables 6, 7 and 8.”
Replace the title of Table 7 “Limits for interaction performance (contact force) in tunnels with cross-sections ≤
2 2
55 m ” with “Different design limit for maximum mean contact force in tunnels with cross sections ≤ 55m ”
In the footer of Table 7, add the following Note:
“
NOTE The factor 1,25 has been derived empirically from experience gained from networks with small tunnels.”
In the first paragraph after Table 7, replace the first sentence with “The overhead contact line shall be designed
to accept as a minimum, the value of mean force (F ) in Tables 6 and for small tunnels in Table 7.”
m,max
In the first paragraph after Table 7, replace the second sentence with “The pantograph shall apply as a maximum
the mean force (F ) in Tables 6 and 7.”
m,max
11 Modification to 8.1, Requirement for pantograph

be implemented in accordance with EN 50206-1:2010, 4.7 and Clause 6.” with “The pantograph operating
system shall be implemented in accordance with EN 50206-1:2010, 4.7.”
