Line-pantograph EMI in railway systems

Download PDF(1.74 MB)

Abstract

At present, the EN50121 standards are the main reference for electromagnetic compatibility in European railway systems. These standards should improve as technology and testing develops. Therefore, major sources of EMI in a railway environment need to be better understood. This study is complex because many different railway power systems exist in Europe (1.5 kV DC, 3 kV DC, 15 kV 16.7 Hz, 25 kV 50 Hz). European railways are using new control and communication systems, and electromagnetic compatibility problems should be carefully studied and solved.
