BS EN 61377:2016 applies to the traction system consisting (when it applies) of
traction motor(s), converter(s), traction control equipment including software, transformer,
input filters, brake resistors, main circuit-breaker, cooling equipment, transducers, contactors,
etc.Figure 1 is just an overview and is not representative of all traction system architectures.
Current collector, mechanical braking systems and gearbox are not in the scope of this
standard.Types of motors applicable in this standard are asynchronous, or synchronous including
permanent magnet (PMM), or direct current (DC).The auxiliary converter(s) is (are) part of the scope when the auxiliary converter is enclosed
within the traction converter. Otherwise, when the traction system feeds an auxiliary system
outside the traction converter, the auxiliary system can be replaced by an equivalent load.NOTE 1 Energy storage system is not considered in this standard since there is no specific type test standard for energy storage system.NOTE 2 Auxiliary loads validation is not part of this standard.NOTE 3 The gearbox can be part of test set-up, but it is not a part of traction system.Cross References:IEC 60050IEC 60349-1IEC 60349-2IEC TS 60349-3IEC 60349-4IEC 60850IEC 61133IEC 61287-1IEC 62313EN 60349-1EN 60349-2EN 60349-4EN 61287-1IEC 60050-411IEC 60050-551IEC 60050-811IEC 60077-3IEC 60077-4IEC 60310IEC 60322IEC 60571IEC 62236-3-1IEC 62236-3-2IEC 62498-1ISO 14253-2ISO 17025ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008ISO/IEC Guide 99EN 60077-3EN 60077-4EN 60310EN 60322EN ISO 14253-2EN ISO/IEC 17025All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
