Overview
This standards contain an Application Guide which supports the European Standards EN 50526-1 and EN 50526-2. Guidance is offered on the subjects of selection and installation of surge arresters, selection and installation of voltage limiting devices as VLD-O and VLD-F as well as arrangement of the surge arresters and VLDs. Because of differences in the established, proven methods, electric traction systems of nominal voltage d.c. 600 V - d.c. 750 V are treated separately from the systems at higher nominal voltages. This Application Guide only applies to d.c. electrified traction systems. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 351.2 "Ortsfeste Anlagen" ("Fixed installations") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
