1 Purpose This document details the housings to be utilised in a standardised Modular Substation for installation in the Melbourne Metropolitan Railway.
2 Scope This document shall apply to all modular substation installations.
3 Abbreviations GPO General Purpose Outlet HVAC Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning MTM Metro Trains Melbourne OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer RAMS Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety RTU Remote Terminal Unit SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
4 Definitions Substation An installation for the conversion of Electrical Energy from one form to another. For the purposes of this document, the word Substation shall be interpreted as including Tie-stations. Tie-station An installation solely consisting of 1500V DC Switching Apparatus for the purpose of paralleling and protection of the DC Traction Overhead Wiring. Shall Is used as the descriptive word to express a requirement that is mandatory to achieve conformance to the standard. Should Is used as the descriptive word to express a requirement that is recommended in order to achieve compliance to the standard. Should can also be used if a requirement is a design goal but not a mandatory requirement.
5 Safety & Environmental
The substation modules and interfaces shall be designed, manufactured, operated and maintained in accordance with all relevant Acts, Legislation and Regulations, Codes of Practice and Standards, and shall be designed with an empirical focus on the reduction of the whole of life cost of the installation.

6 Housing Requirements Housings shall be readily transportable by road, preferably without the need for vehicle piloting (consult VicRoads regulations and requirements). Housings shall be designed to meet Australian Standards for buildings/enclosures, and any foreseeable external loads such as wind, etc. Housings shall have a minimum design life of 60 years. Overall, the Housing shall achieve an ingress protection level of IP66. Housings shall have a durable coating as protection against environmental factors such as UV, water, chemical attack, etc. They should be resistant to graffiti and able to be cleaned with standard graffiti removal techniques without sustaining damage. Housings shall have sufficient access for personnel, and for removal/replacement of equipment. Support structures shall be designed to meet Australian Standards for structural elements, and have a minimum design life of 60 years Where support structures are used, the space between support posts shall be completely occupied with fine-aperture, wire mesh panels that can be removed if necessary. These panels shall be fastened using security head fasteners.
7 Lighting Lighting shall be provided both internally and externally on each Housing. Lighting fixtures may be either of the LED or fluorescent type. The following lighting levels should be provided as a minimum: Internally: 200 Lux, 100% uniformity Externally: 14 Lux, 40% uniformity Exterior lighting shall be able to be operated both manually and automatically, either by means of a timer, or a durable PE cell.
8 Signage There shall be external signage providing warning of the high voltage nature of the substation in accordance with AS 2067. These shall be provided in the following areas as a minimum: All access doors/openings All visible walls On fencing (if fencing is provided) All equipment shall be numbered and labelled as specified in MESP 000003-06 - Substation Device Naming, Numbering and Labelling. The details of this aspect will be confirmed and approved by MTM before construction.

9 Emergency Equipment There shall be emergency exit signage located within each housing in accordance with AS 2293.1. Other features such as crashbar exits, emergency lighting, etc. shall be provided as required by relevant building codes and AS 2067. Fire extinguishers shall not be provided.
10 Security All external doors shall be secured with Protec2 Cliq locks which must be procured through MTM. Internal doors, if required to be lockable, may be secured with Protec2 Cliq or standard substation locks. The security system shall include the following: Fire and smoke detection (internal) Motion sensing (internal)
11 External Connections All connections between housings shall be readily accessible irrespective of the desired arrangement of modules. It is suggested that connections be located on the same face of the housing as a door, or on the underside of the housing. Consideration must be given to the bending radius of cables and the space required for maintenance when designing external connections, particularly for connections on the underside of the housing. No penetrations shall be made in the roof of the housing Any penetrations in the wall of the housing shall be sloped downwards, towards the outside to prevent water ingress. External connections should be designed to have an ingress protection level of IP66.
