White Paper: EN 50155 Versus IEC 60571

The document compares two standards for electrical and environmental operating conditions for railway applications - EN 50155 and IEC 60571. While the requirements are nearly identical, EN 50155 provides more detail in some areas such as defining six operating temperature classes compared to seven in IEC 60571. Both standards address operating temperatures, interruptions of voltage supply, and testing procedures. All of intreXis' DC/DC converters meet both standards, making them suitable for worldwide railway applications. Contact intreXis for a detailed analysis of differences between the two standards.

White Paper New intreXis Boardnet Converter with Power Boost: Rev00

For railway-applications, requirements for electrical and environmental operating-conditions, design


requirements, construction and testing are defined in following main standards:

European Standard: EN 50155: 2017


International Standard: IEC 60571: 2012

The requirements in these two standards are nearly identical, except for minor differences in terminology
and definitions. Being more recently updated, the EN 50155-standard specifies some requirements more in
detail.

Examples for differences:

EN 50155 IEC 60571


Six operating temperature classes are defined: Seven ambient temperature classes are defined:
OT1-OT6 T1-Tx
Short term thermal conditions are specified with the Short term start up thermal conditions are defined in
Operating switch-on operating temperature classes: an additional column within above temperature
temperature ST0-ST2 classes.
Test cycles A, B and C are defined to perform the No test cycles for dry heat test are defined.
dry heat test for above temperature classes and their
combinations.

Three “interruption voltage supply classes” are Two “interruption of voltage supply classes” are
defined: defined:
S1-S3 S1-S2
Interruptions of Specifies clearly that the interruption is caused by a No specification of type of interruption.
short circuit of the DC supply distribution line and
voltage supply
that the input voltage may reduce to 0 V.
In this case, the DC distribution system presents a
low impedance, which can cause reverse current
from the device under test.

All DC/DC-converters from our intreXis Boardnet Converter Platform are fully compliant with both standards
and therefore can be used in worldwide applications.

For a detailed analysis of all differences of the two standards, please contact intreXis for advice.
