USE OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN SIGNALLING ELECTRICAL ENVIRONMENT AFFECTING RAILWAY SIGNALLING INSTALLATIONS. APPENDICES

The present report on electrical interference in railways is intended to represent a catalogue of the knowledge and experience in European railways up to 1975. Quantitative information is given on interference sources as well as details on the coupling mechanisms through which electrical interference can affect the operation of equipment, with particular regard to electronic equipment. The report also proposes several measures to protect equipment against electrical interference although different factors make it impractical to recommend a standard code of practice. The measures and techniques described in Section 3 are of a general nature and their application will require the use of established engineering practice. The report also contains a brief account of the assessment of the replies obtained from an inquiry conducted with the European railway administrations.
