Railway applications - Fixed installations - Particular requirements for AC switchgear - Part 4: AC metal-enclosed traction switchgear

This part of EN 50152 specifies requirements for prefabricated metal-enclosed traction switchgear for alternating current of traction voltages and frequencies as specified in EN 50163:2004 and used in indoor and outdoor installation. Enclosures may include fixed and removable components and may be filled with fluid (liquid or gas) to provide insulation.
NOTE 1 EN 50163 specifies the a.c. traction systems 15 kV 16,7 Hz and 25 kV 50 Hz
NOTE 2 This standard applies to single-phase or two-phase systems.
For metal-enclosed traction switchgear containing gas-filled compartments, the design pressure is limited to a maximum of 300 kPa (relative pressure).
NOTE 3 EN 62271-203 can be used as a guide for design and testing in case the design pressure of gas-filled compartments exceeds 300 kPa (relative pressure).
Components contained in metal-enclosed traction switchgear are to be designed and tested in accordance with their various relevant standards. This document supplements the standards for the individual components regarding their installation in traction switchgear assemblies.
This document does not preclude that other equipment may be included in the same enclosure. In such a case, any possible influence of that equipment on the traction switchgear is to be taken into account.
NOTE 5 Switchgear and controlgear assemblies having an insulation enclosure are covered by EN 62271-201. For definition see there or IEV 441-12-06.

Introduction
This document needs to be read in conjunction with EN 62271-1:2017 and EN IEC 62271-200:2021.
Where a particular clause of EN IEC 62271-200:2021 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 IEC 62271-200:2021 needs to be adapted accordingly.
The numbering of clauses in the EN 62271 series is not used in this document. For easier understanding the
numbering of clauses in EN IEC 62271-200:2021 is given in square brackets.
Where terms defined in EN 62271-1:2017 and EN IEC 62271-200:2021 conflict with definitions of the same
terms as given in IEC 60050-811:1991 or of the other railway application documents listed in the normative
references, the definitions in EN 62271-1:2017 and EN IEC 62271-200:2021 need to be used.
The term ‘traction switchgear’ is used whenever EN 62271 series uses ‘switchgear and controlgear’, except
for headlines which are kept.
NOTE The suffix N which appears in this standard for rated values is not present in EN 62271-1:2017 and
EN IEC 62271-200:2021.
References in subclauses of EN 62271-1:2017 and EN IEC 62271-200:2021 need to be replaced by
references to applicable subclauses in this document as far as reasonably possible.
