The broad subject of overvoltage protection in d.c. traction systems need to address the approaches, requirements and definitions of several disciplines and TCs. Concerned European Standards are referenced for generic definitions. This Technica
12、l Specification reflects the common practise of overvoltage protection in the d.c. traction community, as far as protection of equipment in the primary power supply is concerned (e.g. feeders, overhead contact lines, return circuits, power side of rolling stock). Therefore, definitions and approache
13、s in this Technical Specification, covering a specific application in line with EN 50526-1, are different for some aspects from the definitions and approaches in the EN 61643 series.

46、vervoltages by surge arresters. Main field of application are in substations, at sectioning posts and at singular points along the contact lines. The terminations of the insulated cables connected to the contact line system and the electronic apparatuses connected to the return pole of the rectifier
47、 in the substations should be protected by surge arresters. 4.2 Substations An important element of a lightning protection concept is the protection of the line feeders and return conductors in the substations with arresters (see Figure 1). The arresters have the following functions. The arresters A
48、1, which are connected in the substation between the feeder circuit-breakers (cable connection) and the return circuit, reduce the overvoltages at the feeder circuit-breakers and the rectifiers, inclusive of their measuring and monitoring devices, in case of positive lightning strokes. In case of ne
49、gative lightning strokes the diodes of the rectifier are conductive, but this does not endanger the elements. The arrester A2 between the return circuit and the structure earth is to limit overvoltages of the running rails. The arrester A2 is also important in case of direct lightning strokes into the running rails, e.g. if lines above earth have a conductor rail. The arrester A2 is not
