IEC 62505-1:2009 Railway applications - Fixed installations - Particular requirements for a.c. switchgear - Part 1: Single-phase circuit-breakers with Un above 1 kV
This part of IEC 62505 is applicable to single-phase a.c. one-pole circuit-breakers designed for indoor or outdoor fixed installations for operation at frequencies of 16@7 Hz@ 50 Hz and 60 Hz on traction systems having an UNm above 1 kV up to 52 kV. This International Standard is also applicable to two-pole circuit-breakers when connected in the following manner: one pole supplying the connection to the contact line of the track@ the second pole supplying the connection to the feeder cable which runs alongside the same track and which is used to boost the track voltage at regular intervals in combination with autotransformers. The centre of this circuit is connected to earth. This Standard is also applicable to the operating devices of circuit-breakers and to their auxiliary equipment. This Standard does not address circuit-breakers with dependent manual operating mechanism. NOTE A rated short-circuit making current cannot be specified for these circuit-breakers and the use of these mechanisms may give reasons for the objection based on their safety in operation.
