EN 50152-2:2007

This EN 50152 2 is applicable to single-phase a.c. one-pole disconnectors, earthing switches and switches (switch-disconnectors and general purpose switches) designed for indoor or outdoor fixed installations for operation at frequencies of 16,7 Hz and 50 Hz on traction systems having an UNm above 1 kV up to 52 kV. This EN 50152 2 is also applicable to two-pole disconnectors, earthing switches and switches (switch-disconnectors and general purpose switches) connected in the following manner either: a) one pole supplying the connection to the contact line of the track, the other supplying the connection to the feeder cable which runs alongside the same track and is used to boost the track voltage at regular intervals in combination with autotransformers; or b) the two poles of the disconnector, earthing switch or switch (switch-disconnector or general purpose switch) are connected in series to provide secure isolation (i.e. two breaks in series).
