BS EN 60310:2016

This standard BS EN 60310:2016 Railway applications. Traction transformers and inductors on board rolling stock is classified in these ICS categories:

• 45.060.01 Railway rolling stock in general
• 29.280 Electric traction equipment
• 29.180 Transformers. Reactors
• 45.060.10 Tractive stock

This International Standard applies to traction and auxiliary power transformers installed on board rolling stock and to the various types of power inductors inserted in the traction and auxiliary circuits of rolling stock, of dry or liquid-immersed design.

NOTE The requirements of IEC 60076 (all parts) are applicable to transformers and inductors where they do not conflict with this standard, or with the specialized IEC publications dealing with traction applications.

This standard can also be applied, after agreement between purchaser and manufacturer, to the traction transformers of three-phase a.c. line-side powered vehicles and to the transformers inserted in the single-phase or poly-phase auxiliary circuits of vehicles, except instrument transformers and transformers of a rated output below 1 kVA single-phase or 5 kVA poly-phase.

This standard does not cover accessories such as tap changers, resistors, heat exchangers, fans, etc., intended for mounting on the transformers or inductors, which are tested separately according to relevant rules.
