Cable design in accordance with EN 50264 & EN 50306

Cable Make Up
Conductors
Tinned fine copper strands according to VDE 0295 / IEC 60228. class 5 are generally used for railway cables. For nominal cross section
of over 50mm sq, 0.41mm strand wire will be used instead of 0.51mm as stipulated in IEC 60228. The IEC 60228 Class 5 enhances
flexibility and the ease of handling, thus lengthening the product life of the cable. These class 5 class conductors are extremely flexible,
and easy-to-install in the compact rolling stock environment.
Insulation and outer sheath
Crosslinked polyolefine copolymer or EPR will generally be used for insulation whereas electron-beam cross-linked elastomer is
employed for sheathing. Cross-linked elastomer compounds offer very good durability that can resist heat, oil, vibration, chemical
aggression, etc
Electrical Characteristics
Nominal voltage
Nominal voltage of a cable refers to the reference voltage for which the cable is intended to be used. In EN 50264. applicable to power
cables, different voltage ranges ranging from 0.6/1 kV, 1.8/3 kV to 3.6/6 kV are defined. For each of these voltage ranges, specific
insulation thickness requirements are also stipulated in this standard. The operating voltage should not exceed the corresponding
maximum nominal voltage allowed.
Current Carrying Capacity
Current carrying capacity is defined as the amperage a conductor can carry before melting either the conductor or the insulation. There
are many factors which will limit the amount of current that can be passed through a wire. These major determining factors are:
Conductor Size:
The larger the circular mil area, the greater the current carrying capacity. The amount of heat generated should never exceed the
3
 Caledonian
maximum temperature rating of the insulation
Ambient temperature:
The higher the ambient temperature, the less heat required to reach the maximum temperature rating of the insulation.
Conductor Number:
Heat dissipation is lessened as the number of individually insulated conductors, bundled together, is increased
Installation Conductors:
Restricting the heat dissipation by installing the conductors in conduit, duct, trays or raceways lessens the current carrying capacity. This
restriction can be alleviated somewhat by using proper ventilation methods, forced air cooling, etc.
According to EN 50343. “Railway applications - Rolling stock – Rules for installation of cabling” current carrying capacity are based on
maximum conductor temperatures of 90°C and 150°C defined in 3 b. The ambient temperature is 45°C. The following table shows the
current carrying capacities for a cable installed in mid air.

Ambient temperature
External conditions such as ambient temperature and bundling must be taken into account when
determining actual current carrying capacity. The following tables show the corresponding k1 modification factors depending on an
ambient temperature differing from 45 °C. Current carrying capacity decreases or increases depending on these factors

Physical Characteristics
Temperatures and overload temperatures
EN 50264 defines two overload categories for cables at 90°C and 150°C : 160°C/50 h for 90°C and 250°C /50 h for 150°C. This means
that for a period of less than or equal to 50 hours, increased conductor temperatures can be withstood, while the operability of the cables
remains unimpaired. This has the advantage that short-time temperature increases can be identified and more serious damage such as
fires can be prevented.
Environmental conditions
Cables are suitable for fixed installation in rail vehicles up to – 40°C and are resistant to oil according to EN 50305. EN 60811-2-1. UIC
895 and resistant to fuel according to
EN 50305. EN 60811-2-1. UIC 895.
Fire Performance
EN 50264 and EN 50306 only describe cables and wires made from halogen free materials that minimise the risk of damage to persons
and property. These materials refer to hazard levels 1 – 4 as defined in EN 45545-1( fire protection on railway vehicles). These levels

4
 Caledonian
define the degree of possibility of personal injury as the result of a fire. Amongst other things, they also form the basis of the
requirements for materials used in rail vehicles.
Halogen Free
The test is for determination of the amount of halogen acid gas, other than the hydrofluoric acid evolved during combustion of compound.
When tested in accordance with IEC 60754-1. the hydrochloric acid yield should be less than 0.5% (5mg/g) for LSOH compound.
Corrosivity
Corrosive gases produced in case of fire cause damage to vehicles and facilities and therefore should be avoided. According to EN
50267-2-2. a material is not corrosive if its combustion gases meet the stipulated target values for conductivity (≤10 　s/mm) and pH
value (≥4.3).
This is equivalent to IEC 61034
Toxicity
In accordance with EN 50305- 9.2. or NFC-20454 a toxicity index (ITC) is calculated following analysis and titration of combustion gases.
The aforementioned hazard levels require that certain toxicity indices are not exceeded.
The toxicity indices for power cables listed in the following table are derived from EN 50264.
HL ITC
HL 1 not specified
HL 2 / HL 3 5 (max)
HL 4 3 (max)
The required toxicity indices for cables and wires, depending on hazard level, in accordance with EN 50306 (thin wall) are displayed in
the following table:

Insulation and sheath S1 EM101-104 and sheath S2

HL 1 not stipulated not stipulated

HL 2 / HL 3 10 (max) 5 (max)
HL 4 6 (max) 3 (max)
Toxic Fumes
Naval standard NES713 burns a set amount of material and analyses the gases given off. The volume of each gas is multiplied by the
toxicity index for each gas. The toxicity index for each gas are added together to give an overall toxicity index for the material. LFH
materials should have a toxicity index maximum of 10.
Flame Retardance
In accordance with EN 50265- 2-1 or IEC 60332-1. testing is carried out for a single insulated wire or cable. The specimen is deemed to
have passed this test, if after burning has ceased, the charred or affected position does not reach within 50mm of the lower edge of the
top clamp.
In accordance EN 50266-2-4. EN 50305 9.1 and IEC 60332-3. testing is carried out for bunched cables. A gas burner flame is applied to
the bottom of a vertically arranged conductor bundle in a test furnace. Following completion of the flame test, the specimen consisting of
3.5m, is deemed to have met the requirements, if after burning has ceased, the extent of charred of affected portion does not reach a
height exceeding 2.5m above the bottom edge of the burner
Smoke Density
For smoke density testing, the cube test is employed according to EN 50268-2-1 or IEC 61034. The 3 metre cube test measures the
generation of smoke from electric cables during fire. A light beam emitted from a window is projected across the enclosure of to a photo
cell connected to a recorder at the opposite window.
The recorder is adjusted to register from 0% for complete obscuration to 100% luminous transmission. A 1 metre cable sample is placed
in the centre of the enclosure and then subjected to fire. The minimum light transmission of the smoke is then measured.

BS 6853.
In 1999. BS 6853 was introduced in UK and whose highest categories are probably the most demanding in the world. BS 6853 covers
both smoke emission testing and flammability testing. BS 6853 also introduced the concept of an R-Index, which is a single number
quantification of the toxic gas risk associated with candidate composite materials for use in railway rolling stock. The R-Indices are split
into the following categories:
Category 1a Trains which predominantly use tunnels R < 1.0
Category 1b Trains which use tunnels, but infrequently R < 1.6
Category 2 Trains which run, predominantly, overground R < 3.6

5
 Caledonian
The R-Index is generated by analysing eight gases of combustion, for which critical concentrations have been established by
NIOSH/OSHA and reported as IDLH, (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health), values.
Toxicity is the most important factor to address during the cable design. Toxicity limit for the UK and France are identical because both
require the same test method for elastomers (NF X 70-100). The only difference is that the U.K.'s specification requires an addendum for
nitrous oxides. Toxicity limits for French and the U.K. standards are developed from the IDLH values published in the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Guide. IDLH, or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health, values are calculated based on
levels of gas in a particular atmosphere for 30 min that would pose an immediate riskthe U.K.'s BS 6853 specification is the most
stringent, closely followed by the French, and finally the U.S. It's important to note that Germany does not have a toxicity requirement.

NFF 16-101/2
In France the French Railway’s standard NFF 16-101/2 combines reaction to fire, (M rating), with smoke and toxicity, (F rating), to
provide a true FST evaluation of the fire safe properties of a composite material.
As with the UK BS 6853 standard, the M/F rating required in NFF 16-101 is dependent on
the type of rolling stock, the extent to which it uses tunnels and the position and orientation of the composite part in the vehicle.
Test methods
The standard comprises the following test methods:
Flammability
NF-EN 60695-2 Glowing Wire at 850+/-15C and 960+/-15C
NF-EN ISO 4589-2 Oxygen index determination
Smoke Density
NFX 10-702 Smoke density determination
Toxicity
NFX 70-100 Pyrolysis and combustion gas analysis
M rating
M rating refers for the fire resistance classification of the materials to be used in the transportation industry
This classification rates the material in five categories

M0: incombustible
M1: non flammable
M2: burns with difficulty
M4: easily inflammable
M5: very easily inflammable

I/F rating
I/F rating refers to ignition resistance and fume classification of non metallic electrical components used in the underground
transporation industry.
Test description
1. Ignition
The ignition characteristics is determined by a combination of glow wire test (GWT) and oxygen index.
The material under test is categorized in the following tables:
Class Oxygen Index Glow Wire
I0 >70 No ignition at 960C
I1 >45 No ignition at 960C
I2 >32 No ignition at 850C
I3 >28 Ignition does not persist at 850C after glow wire is withdrawn
I4 >20
NC <70
(Not classified)
2. Fume composition
The parameters tested are fume opacity and analysis of pyrolysis as well as combustion gases.

6
 Caledonian
All 3 parameters are used to calculate the smoke index ( SI) which in turns determines the fume class
F as follows:
F Class S.I Values
F0 ≤5
F1 ≤20
F2 ≤40
F3 ≤80
F4 ≤120
F5 >120

Classification
Each material will receive I/F rating, the smaller the number the better. Unfortunately, good I and good F are difficult to achieve: low I
values frequently means addition of fire retardant packages which in turns leads to high F values.

Consequently, 4 overall I/F performance classes are defined as follows:

I0 I1 I2 I3 I4 I5
F0 IV IV IV II I I
F1 IV IV IV II I I
F2 IV IV III II I I
F3 IV III III I I I
F4 IV III I I I I
F5 IV I I I I I

I Performance class 1. least demanding

II Performance class 2
III Performance class 3
IV Performance class 4. most demanding
DIN 5510
In Germany, the fire standards requirements in railways are defined by the DIN 5510. which does not include any measurement of toxic
gases but focuses only on reaction to fire and smoke produced in a fire scenario.
According to DIN5510. the test samples, vertically arranged in the test chimney, are stressed by a special bunsen burner for 3 minutes.
The combustibility, smoke release and dripping behaviour are then assessed.
The extent of destroyed surface area is decisive of the fire performance rating. The following are the fire performance classification:
Class
B1 Easily ignitable Damaged area 90%-100%
B2 Combustible Damaged area 76%-90%
B3 Difficult to ignite Damaged area <75%
B4 Incombustible No damage
The rating with respect to burning dripping are also observed in the chimney test. Differentiation between the classes is based on visual
observation by T1 burning dripping to T4 no visible deformation/ no softening.
The smoke release during the chimney test will be done by the reduced transmission value. Two classes, SR1 10% min and SR2 < 50%
min are used.
EN 45545
En 45545 is a common new EU standard is to replace the existing national regulations for fire safety in trains and track-guided vehicles.
This new standard constitutes a harmonising of the existing national standards based on the highest common denominator – and will
therefore represent a stiffening of the fire safety regulations applied in the individual countries.
The new standard divides railway vehicles into four operation categories. As seen below, it particularly targets safety in connection with
tunnels and bridges:
Category Services Infrastructure
1 Mainline, regional, urban and Operation not determined by underground sections, tunnels and/or
suburban elevated structures
2 Urban and suburban Operation determined by underground sections, tunnels and/or
elevated structures with walkways or other means for safe side
evacuation from the vehicles
3 Mainline and regional Operation determined by underground sections, tunnels and/or
elevated structures with walkways or other means for safe side
evacuation from the vehicles
4 Mainline, regional, urban and Mainline, regional, urban and suburban operation determined by
suburban underground sections, tunnels and/or elevated structures without any
means for safe side evacuation from the vehicles

7
 Caledonian
The standard also establishes four hazard levels that determine the requirements for protection against fire and smoke formation. Most
new railway vehicles will be designed to hazard level 3. but some vehicles, for example for light rail systems, will have to conform to
hazard level 4.:
