EN 50155 Electronic Equipment on Railway Vehicles - EMCEN 50155 Electronic Equipment on Railway Vehicles - EMC Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
Standard-Related Information
EN 50155 is a European Standard that specifies the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for electronic equipment used in railway vehicles. The standard is published by CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization, and is widely adopted across Europe.
The standard provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring the EMC of electronic equipment on railway vehicles, including:
EN 50155 is based on the relevant international standards, including IEC 61000-6-3 and IEC 61326. The standard also references other relevant documents, such as ISO/TS 16785.
The standard is intended for use by manufacturers of electronic equipment used in railway vehicles, as well as by regulatory bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with EMC regulations.
Standard Requirements and Needs
EN 50155 Electronic Equipment on Railway Vehicles - EMC testing is required to ensure that electronic equipment meets the necessary EMC standards. This testing is essential to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) between different systems on a railway vehicle, which can compromise safety and reliability.
The consequences of not performing this test include:
EN 50155 testing is particularly important in the rail industry due to the high levels of electromagnetic radiation present on railway vehicles. The risk factors associated with EMI on railways include:
To mitigate these risks, EN 50155 testing involves a comprehensive evaluation of an electronic equipments immunity to electromagnetic interference and its own electromagnetic emission levels.
Test Conditions and Methodology
The test conditions for EN 50155 involve the following steps:
1. Sample Preparation: The electronic equipment is prepared in accordance with the relevant standard, including any necessary modifications or adjustments.
2. Testing Environment: The testing environment is set up to simulate the worst-case electromagnetic radiation levels on a railway vehicle, including temperature and humidity control.
3. Measurement Instruments: Specialized measurement instruments are used to evaluate the electronic equipments immunity to EMI and its own electromagnetic emission levels.
4. Data Collection and Analysis: Data is collected using the measurement instruments and analyzed to determine the electronic equipments compliance with EN 50155 requirements.
The testing methodology for EN 50155 involves the following steps:
1. Immunity Testing: The electronic equipment is subjected to various electromagnetic radiation sources, including radio-frequency (RF) signals, to evaluate its immunity to EMI.
2. Emission Testing: The electronic equipments own electromagnetic emission levels are evaluated using specialized measurement instruments.
