Railway applications - Testing of rolling stock for electromagnetic compatibility with axle counters; German version EN 50592:2016
Bahnanwendungen - Prüfung von Schienenfahrzeugen auf elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit mit Achszählern; Deutsche Fassung EN 50592:2016
Overview
This European standard defines, for the purpose of ensuring compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter systems, the measurement and evaluation methods of rolling stock emissions to demonstrate compatibility. The established limits for compatibility are defined as magnetic field strength that can disturb the axle counter detectors, as part of the axle counter system. In the relevant frequency range of the axle counter detectors the magnetic field is dominant and only this type of field is considered. Experience has shown that the effects of electric fields are insignificant and therefore not considered. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 351.1 "Fahrzeuge" ("Rolling stock") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
