3 PREFACE This Standard will be managed under the Engineering Standards Development Procedure (L1-CHE-PRO-032). As documents are uncontrolled once printed, it is imperative to check the currency of the Document on The Depot or the MTM s Document Portal which is available externally at All MTM Standards and Specifications are periodically reviewed, and new editions are published which incorporate learnings and Technical Notes (formerly known as Design Practice Notes). Technical Notes are issued between editions which correct any errors or ambiguities contained in an MTM Standard/Specification. Standards and Specifications may also be withdrawn and/or replaced. In the event of conflicts or discrepancies between different types of technical documents, refer to the order of precedence as defined in Chief Engineer s Guideline Engineering Standards Listing (L1- CHE-GDL-005). Note: Any clarification described in a Technical Note or Design Practice Note shall take precedence over the impacted clause or clauses in the associated MTM Standard/Specification. In the event a clause within a Standard/Specification is not achievable a waiver will need to be raised, please refer to the Engineering Waiver Procedure - L1-CHE-PRO-001. Note: MTM does not have the authority to grant waivers on any Standards/Specifications or clauses within a Standard/Specification which relate to Government Regulations or Legislation, e.g. Electricity Safety Act, Electrical Safety Regulations (Energy Save Victoria), Disability Discrimination Act.

5 1 Preface 1.1 For the purpose of this document, the terms Distribution and Transmission are to be used interchangeably. Transmission is defined as a voltage greater than 66kV, so a 22kV system is a distribution system by modern definition. However, the term 22kV Transmission has been used in the railway context historically for many years and is understood. 2 Purpose 2.1 To define the standards required for the design and construction of 22kV AC distribution lines, cables and related equipment for the Melbourne Metropolitan Railway. 3 Scope 3.1 This Standard applies to the design and construction of all new electrification projects for the Melbourne Metropolitan Railway Network. 3.2 This Standard also applies to the upgrading of the existing traction wiring, distribution lines, cables and related equipment. 3.3 The Standard applies to works on the Infrastructure Lease and to works undertaken on other land which are intended to expand or enhance the provision of passenger services and to form part of the Infrastructure Lease. 3.4 MTM Head of Engineering Electrical shall be consulted in cases where there are perceived to be uncertainties, conflicts or ambiguities as to the requirements or the intent of this standard. 4 Abbreviations ABC AC AS CSR DC EPR ESV HDPE HV kv MTM OHW ONRSR PTV Aerial bundled cable Alternating current Australian Standard Common services route Direct current Earth potential rise Energy Safe Victoria High-density polyethylene High voltage Kilovolt (equal to 1000 volts) Metro Trains Melbourne Pty Ltd Overhead wiring Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator Public Transport Victoria PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 5 of 16

6 SFAIRP XLPE So far as is reasonably practicable Cross-linked polyethylene 5 Glossary of Terms Ambient temperature Bond Distribution wire height Earth/ground Factor of safety Ground clearance Protective device Radial load Self-supporting anchor Slack span Span length Static clearance Strain span Suspension Wind load (operational) The weather related temperature of the conductors, which excludes temperature effects due to current in the conductors. An electrical connection between metal hardware (rails, structure etc.) that eliminates voltage difference. Distance between HV conductors/components and the top of surrounding surfaces or areas which are accessible to people/plant or which a person could stand. The reference point from which different potentials are measured and which acts as a common current return path in a fault condition. It is typically a physical electrical connection to the general mass of planet Earth. Margin of safety in terms, usually of strength, between the breaking load and the maximum design operating load expressed as a ratio. The distance between live components/conductors and the nearest standing surface. An open circuit device which short circuits under fault conditions such as spark gap, diode or automatic overvoltage relay device. It services to control the effects of stray currents (and the resultant electrolytic corrosion) and/or to provide electrical safety. Also referred to as a Voltage Limiting Device Horizontal load comprising of static forces caused by a change in the direction of a conductor at a support or registration point. Anchor mast without a back-guy. A span of aerial conductor where the tension is as low as possible (such as to limit sag to ensure electrical clearances are met). They are typically used as a transition between equipment (such as transformers, switchgear or isolators) and aerial distribution lines The length of transmission conductor between one support/suspension and the next. The distance between two items without the influence of external forces such temperature or wind. A span of aerial conductor where each end is independently tensioned and terminated to self-supporting structures at each end of the span such that it is not reliant on adjacent spans. Refer D7629 and STD_E0142 Support of a conductor in the vertical plane The maximum load imposed on a support or registration point due to a conductor under the highest operational wind speed condition PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 6 of 16
