This document specifies requirements for protective provisions against the effects of stray currents, which result from the operation of DC electric traction power supply systems.

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.
