What is PD CLC/TS 50238 ‑ 2 about?
PD CLC/TS 50238 ‑ 2 is the second part of a multi-series of standards. PD CLC/TS 50238 ‑ 2 defines, for the purpose of ensuring compatibility between rolling stock and track circuits, the limits for interference current emissions from rolling stock. The measurement and evaluation methods for verifying the conformity of rolling stock to these limits are presented in a dedicated annex.
PD CLC/TS 50238 ‑ 2 gives guidance on the derivation of interference current limits specified for rolling stock and defines measurement methods and evaluation criteria in a dedicated annex.
PD CLC/TS 50238 ‑ 2 defines:
A set of interference current limits for RST (Rolling Stock) applicable for each of the following types of traction system: DC (750 V, 1,5 kV and 3 kV),16,7 Hz AC, 50 Hz AC
Methodology for the demonstration of compatibility between rolling stock and track circuits
Measurement method to verify interference current limits and evaluation criteria.
