5 1 Purpose This document details the requirements for the 3.3kV Essential Services Distribution System sourced at and distributed between railway substations within the Infrastructure Lease for the supply of the signalling system, communications systems and other electrical systems as defined in L1-CHE-STD Scope This Specification shall be applied to all new infrastructure and major upgrades of infrastructure which includes Essential Services. This Specification describes the functional and design requirements for the Essential Services Distribution System. A reliable power supply distribution system is fundamental to the operation of the signalling, communication and other systems within the railway and hence to the on-time running of train services. This document describes the technical requirements for an essential services power supply system to provide the required high level of safety and reliability. For contract works, this document shall be read in conjunction with the particular specification, which refers to it. As per L1-CHE-STD-015 where the complexity of the signalling apparatus and the particular project parameters prohibit the full introduction of the Essential Services Distribution System, a compromise as described is to be put in place. The detailed requirements shall be as stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements. I. The change from the existing 2200V, 1000V or 650V systems to the new 3.3kV system may be made progressively over many years. As a transition plan, with the upgrading of the signalling power supply locations, all equipment installed shall conform to that for the future, being the 3.3kV three phase system with UPS backup. II. Where necessary, the output of the 3.3kV three phase system shall be transformed to provide a single phase supply to the Signal Zone Boxes. The supply shall be in phase with the existing system. The detailed requirements shall be as stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements. This specification supersedes the relevant clauses in VRIOGS 12.1 and Where any conflict in the requirements exists, the Head of Engineering - Electrical or Head of Engineering - Signals as appropriate, shall make a direction on the issue. 3 Abbreviation ACCB CBI CCTV CER DCCB Alternating Current Circuit Breaker Computer Based Interlocking Closed Circuit Television System Communications Equipment Room Direct Current Circuit Breaker PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 5 of 33

All 3.3kV ACCB switchboards shall be contained in power equipment rooms when part of a substation, station, SER or other building. When the ACCB switchboard is required to be contained in its own enclosure, such as at trackside location boxes, then it shall be housed within a stainless steel enclosure, as detailed in L1-CHE-SPE-150. The ESDS comprises of: Substation Architecture The system shall be supplied from an ESAT which typically would be a 100kVA, 3Φ, 22kV/400V Dyn11 transformer. The ESAT will then feed a 400V three phase supply which is connected to a UPS from the 400V switchboard. The UPS shall be a dual conversion type (3Φ 400V input/3φ 400V output) with static and manual bypass switches, as shown in Appendix B. PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 9 of 33

10 The UPS shall feed a 3Φ 400V/3.3kV Dyn1 transformer, yielding a 3.3kV supply in phase with the 22kV distribution system. The 3.3kV supply shall be connected to an ACCB switchboard with an incoming ACCB and the appropriate number of feeder ACCBs, which is normally two. The ESDS distribution section between two Substations will generally be normally fed from the up side Substation. Trackside Reticulation The three phase 3.3kV supply shall be reticulated via an underground three core cable, from the Substation, to trackside ring main switchboards, located at the ESDS power distribution locations. The reticulation shall be installed as detailed in L1-CHE-SPE-070. The trackside ring main unit enclosure shall also house a step down transformer, LV circuit protection and cable fault locator units. Each line side supply point shall be regarded as a separate location with remote control and indication of the apparatus at that location. Signal Zone Box Signal Zone Boxes shall be distributed via a ring main unit, containing a 3.3kV/110V transformer and 110V Switchboard. SER SERs shall be supplied from the ESDS via a ring main switching unit. From the ring main switching unit, a 3.3kV/ V transformer shall supply a 400/230V essential services bus, which will in turn supply the main 110V field signal equipment switchboard from a V/110V transformer. Any CER or Vic Track equipment; CBI UPS and general Light and Power shall be fed from the 400/230V essential services bus. DTRS Facility The DTRS facility shall be supplied via a ring main ACCB unit housed in an enclosure separate to the equipment hut, which shall also house a 3.3kV/ V transformer and switchboard. CER / Vic Track Communication Room Vic Track Communications Rooms and CERs shall be supplied from the ESDS. Where a separate Vic Track Communications Room or CER exists then a ring main switching unit shall supply a 3.3kV/ V transformer which shall supply the Vic Track / CER UPS and the associated light and power required for the room. The 3.3kV/ V transformer shall be housed separately to the CER and/or Vic Track Communications Room. If a CER or Vic Track Communications Room is located together with another CER or Vic Track Communications Room, or a station or SER, they shall be supplied from the same 400/230V Essential Services bus.

11 Railway Stations The station designated essential services shall be supplied via a 3.3kV ring main unit housed in a dedicated power equipment room or enclosure. This shall include a 3.3kV/400V transformer supplying a 400V Essential Services switchboard. There shall be strict separation of the power company and the essential services earthing systems. 7.3 Architecture Low Voltage Supply to Non Designated Essential Services The non-designated ESDS loads at railway stations shall be supplied from a low voltage 400V/230V power company supply via an isolating transformer. If the load is substantial then a standalone kiosk substation could be used where the main HV/LV transformer may act as an isolating transformer The 400V/230V supply to non-designated essential services including safety services, which will predominately be at Railway Stations, shall be supplied from the external power company supply. The earthing and bonding scheme shall ensure effective isolation between the power company supply and 400V/230V supply to the non-designated essential services loads. 7.4 ESDS System Electrical Operations UPS Synchronisation The Electrical Network Control Centre Electrol will remotely control the ESDS Distribution System. The electrical operation of the ESDS shall be based on the following principles: Switching of the ESDS shall involve closing the alternate supply circuit breaker, and subsequently opening the previous supply circuit breaker, with a short period of parallel operation to prevent a loss of supply. Paralleling of UPS supplies shall only occur when the UPS output is synchronised and in phase with the portion of the ESDS with which it is to be paralleled. A synchronising signal shall be able to be provided to the UPS. The synchronising signal shall be provided via a Load Bus Synchronisation Unit. A synchronisation signal from the line side of at least two ESDS feeders at the substation shall be input into the Load Bus Synchronisation Unit from which the signal can be selected, based on the switching arrangement in place. Alternatively a remote synchronisation signal may be provided electronically using optic fibre communications. All operating scenarios and switching arrangements including normal, one UPS out of service, a UPS feeding outwards in all directions and end of line sections shall be considered, and synchronisation provided to enable sufficient reliability and redundancy in each scenario.
