IEC · 2016-02

Railway applications - Fixed installations - Particular requirements for AC switchgear - Part 2: Disconnectors, earthing switches and switches with nominal voltage above 1 kV

1Key Takeaways

This part of IEC 62505 is applicable to single-pole, two-pole and three-pole alternating current (a.c.) disconnectors, earthing switches and switches which are: designed for indoor or outdoor fixed installations in tractions systems, and; operated with an a.c. line voltage and frequency as specified in IEC 60850. NOTE …

2Scope / Description

This part of IEC 62505 is applicable to single-pole, two-pole and three-pole alternating current (a.c.) disconnectors, earthing switches and switches which are: designed for indoor or outdoor fixed installations in tractions systems, and; operated with an a.c. line voltage and frequency as specified in IEC 60850. NOTE 1 IEC 60850 specifies the a.c. traction systems: 15 kV 16,7 Hz, 12 kV 25 Hz, 12,5 kV, 20 kV also 25 kV with 50 Hz, and 12,5 kV, 20 kV, 25 kV also 50 kV with 60 Hz. NOTE 2 As rails of a.c. traction systems are typically connected to earth and included in the return current path, all phase-to-earth voltages will be within the tolerances as specified in IEC 60850. Nevertheless, phase-to-phase voltages are sometimes higher, e. g. in autotransformer systems.
