General
| There are a number of standards covering electrical components
and installations. The following is a list of the most commonly cited
standards for passenger transit rail vehicle applications. |
| Standard: |
APTA SS-E-005-98 - Standard for Grounding and Bonding
| | Purpose: |
This standard provides minimum requirements for grounding and bonding on passenger rail vehicles. It includes grounding return connections, grounding, bonding, and passenger exposure. It does not address ground brush arrangements or equipment ground fault protection
which vary according to application
|

| Standard: |
NEC - National Electric Code
(NFPA 70)
| | Purpose: |
The National Electrical Code provides specifications for design,
alteration, modification, construction, maintenance, inspections,
and testing electrical systems and equipment.

| Standard: |
IEEE 11 - Rotating Electric
Machinery For Rail And Road Vehicles
| | Purpose: |
This standard applies to rotating electric machinery, which
forms part of the propulsion, and major auxiliary equipment on internally
and externally powered electrically propelled rail and road vehicles.
Major auxiliary equipment includes equipment such as a blower and
compressor motors, motor generator, and motor alternator sets, auxiliary
generators and exciters, usually larger than 3 kW. This standard
provides specifications, as well as a variety of tests.

| Standard: |
IEEE 383 - Standard for Type
Test of Class IE, Electric Cables, Field Splices, and Connections
for Nuclear Power Generating Stations
| | Purpose: |
This standard provides direction for establishing type tests,
which may be used in qualifying electoral cables, Field splices,
and other connections. This specification is normally used in rail
applications to provide insulation test criteria.

| Standard: |
IEC 60077 - Rules for Electric
Traction Equipment
| | Purpose: |
This International Standard specifies the general service
conditions and requirements for all electric equipment installed
in power circuits, auxiliary circuits, control and indicating
circuits etc., on rolling stock.
This is a 5 part standard that covers;
Part 1: General service conditions and general rules,
Part 2: Electrotechnical components - General rules,
Part 3: Electrotechnical components - Rules for DC circuit-breakers,
Part 4: Electrotechnical components - Rules for AC circuit-breakers,
Part 5: Electrotechnical components - Rules for HV fuses
|

| Criteria: |
This standard is a design guide for a wide variety of rail car
systems, and may be applied in whole or in part. Additional criteria
should be supplied along with the standard reference.
|

| Standard: |
IEC 60034-14 - Rotating
Electrical Machines - Mechanical Vibration Of Certain Machines With
Shaft Heights 56 Mm And Higher - Measurement, Evaluation And Limits
Of Vibration Severity
| | Purpose: |
This standard specifies the factory acceptance vibration
test procedures and vibration limits for certain electrical machines
under specified conditions, when uncoupled from any load. It is
applicable to DC and three-phase AC machines, with shaft size
of 56 mm and larger and rated output up to 50 MW, with operational
speeds from 120 rpm up to and including 15,000 rpm. Values for
displacement, velocity, and acceleration, are given for various
vibration grades and mounting criteria. (Vibration grade A or
B, rigid or suspension mounted, etc.)
|

| Standard: |
IEC 60571 - Electronic Equipment
Used On Rail Vehicles
| | Purpose: |
This standard provides criteria for environmental, and electrical
service conditions, reliability, maintainability, expected life,
design, construction, components, etc. as applied to all electronic
equipment used for control, regulation, protection, supply, etc.,
installed on rail vehicles and associated with low-voltage power
supplies or batteries.
|
|---|
| Criteria: |
Specify the standard name, and compliance (add criteria if desired
- voltage, etc.)
|
