What is BS EN 50123-7-1 - Measurement, control, and protection devices for use in D.C. traction systems about?
BS EN 50123 is a European standard that discusses the D.C. switchgear for railways. BS EN 50123-7-1 is the first sub-part of the seventh part of the multi-part series that layouts the assistance, guidance, and requirements for the design of protection, control, and measuring systems in D.C. installations intended to provide a power supply to traction systems.
BS EN 50123-7-1 outlines the characteristics and parameters of equipment used in the measurement, control, and protection of D.C. traction systems.
Under BS EN 50123-7-1 guidance is given concerning the appropriate application of electrical protection systems.
Who is BS EN 50123-7-1 -Measurement, control, and protection devices for use in D.C. traction systems for?
BS EN 50123-7-1 on the measurement, control, and protection devices for use in D.C. traction systems is useful for:
- C. switchgear manufacturers
- Maintenance staff
- Technical team
- Manufacturers of measurement, control, and protection devices
Why should you use BS EN 50123-7-1 - Measurement, control, and protection devices for use in D.C. traction systems?
A direct current (DC) traction unit uses current drawn from a third rail, fourth rail, ground-level power supply, or an overhead line. A.C. voltage is converted into D.C. voltage by using a rectifier. Control systems are usually only those which involve the electrical closing of switchgear devices
BS EN 50123-7-1 provides measurements for Current and Voltage dividers in D.C. traction systems.
BS EN 50123-7-1 provides you guidance on control systems for anti-pumping, auto-reclose with variable reclose time, auto-reclose with final lock out, line test device, and Undervoltage close inhibit for specific use in D.C. traction systems.
BS EN 50123-7-1 also provides guidance on protection systems for line circuit breakers (l), rectifier circuit breaker (R), direct-acting (series trip), and indirect-acting for specific use in D.C. traction systems.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 50123-7-1, you can enhance the efficacy of measurement, control, and protection devices for specific use in D.C. traction systems. Thus, can ensure the proper functioning of D.C. traction systems in the railway systems.
