24、obtain the assurance that specific rolling stock operating on a specific route does not interfere with train detection systems installed on this route. Compatibility problems between train detection systems and rolling stock are a significant obstacle to cross-acceptance of rolling stock in Europe.
25、Unfortunately it is not possible to establish general rules for the maximum levels of interference allowed, valid for every country. This is due to the great diversity of rolling stock, power supply and return current systems, and train detection systems installed in Europe. This diversity leads to
26、consideration of the problem of compatibility of rolling stock and train detection systems for specific routes to avoid unnecessarily restrictive specifications. Compatibility is determined by both physical and electromagnetic considerations. With regard to EMC, the need is not for general values fo
27、r maximum levels of interference permitted, but for convenient methods by which to specify the level of interference allowed for operation on specific routes. Interference may be caused by rail currents, electromagnetic fields, differential voltage between axles, as shown in Figure 1: Rail currenttr
28、ansfer functionsElectromagnetic fieldtransfer functionsTrack circuit OthersWheeldetectorFeederstationFigure 5 Sources of electromagnetic interference In practice, the susceptibility of the system is determined by the sensitivity of individual components of the system, the application of the componen
29、ts, i.e. the configuration of the system. Therefore the problems concerning track circuits and axle counters or wheel detection systems will be looked at separately. BS EN 50238:2003EN 50238:2003 (E) 6 For determining the susceptibility of signalling systems, laboratory/simulation testing methods as
30、 well as methods to conduct tests on the “real railway” are proposed. Modelling enables worst-case conditions to be simulated. In addition, particular test sites are used because, from experience, they are known to provide the test evidence required. Then, taking account of the experience of the rai
31、lways, it is possible to establish a general method for determining the susceptibility of train detection systems, described in this European Standard. Before measuring the interference level on rolling stock, a sufficient knowledge of the electric circuit diagram of the power equipment is required,
32、 e.g. switching frequencies of on-board static converters, type of regulation used for power converters, resonant frequency of each filter, operating limits under high and low supply voltages, downgraded modes of operation etc. BS EN 50238:2003EN 50238:2003 (E) 7 1 Scope The scope of this European S
33、tandard is to describe a procedure for mutual acceptance of rolling stock to run over specific routes. It describes the methods of measurement of interference currents, the methods of measurement of the susceptibility of train detection systems, the characterisation of traction power supplies and th
34、e procedure for acceptance. The result of the acceptance procedure is a structured justification document referred to as a “compatibility case”, which documents the evidence that the conditions for compatibility have been satisfied. This European Standard is not generally applicable to those combina
35、tions of rolling stock, traction power supply and train detection system which were accepted as compatible prior to the issue of this European Standard. However, as far as is reasonably practicable, this European Standard may be applied to modifications of rolling stock, traction power supply or tra
36、in detection systems which may affect compatibility. The scope of the compatibility case is restricted to the demonstration of compatibility of rolling stock with a train detection systems characterisation (e.g. gabarit). Radio based signalling systems are not within the scope of this European Stand
