5 4.3 First order failure means the failure of one item of electrical apparatus such as a circuit breaker, rectifier unit, transformer or cable. Electricity remains available to provide the energy for the intended function. Examples are: Failure of a DCCB Failure of a rectifier unit Failure of one 22kV supply Failure of a transformer supplying the Essential Services Distribution System or signalling power supply system Note1. While supply remains available the nature of a particular failure may require limitations on train services delivery but not the suspension of services. Note 2. Failure of the overhead wiring system does not fit within this definition as services are disrupted. 4.4 Second order failure means the failure of two items of electrical apparatus such that the supply of electricity is severely compromised or unavailable to provide the energy for the intended function. Examples are: Failure of two DCCB s supplying the one overhead section Failure of a DCCB bus Failure of two rectifier units in one or two adjacent substations Failure of two 22kV supplies to one or two adjacent substations Failure of two transformers supplying the one region of the Essential Services Distribution System or Signalling Power Supply System 4.5 High Voltage Distribution System means the 22kV or 11kV system comprising incoming supplies from the supply companies and the feeders at these voltages within the Infrastructure Lease. 4.6 Essential Services Distribution System means the 3.3kV system sourced at substations and distributed within the Infrastructure Lease for the supply of the signalling system, communications systems and other electrical systems essential for the safe and reliable operation of the railway detailed in section 17 of this Standard. Note. The network traditionally known as the Signal Power Supply System is a component of the Essential Services Distribution System. 4.7 Industrial Power Supply System means those portions of the 22kV or 11kV system supplying industrial facilities such as train maintenance depots, wash plants and workshops V DC System means the direct current traction system supply for the trains. 4.9 Designated Essential Devices means the devices, apparatus and systems to be supplied by the Essential Services Distribution System as listed in clause PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 4 of 16

6 4.10 Electrolysis Mitigation System means the devices, apparatus and systems provided for the protection of underground assets from the effects of stray current corrosion Shall Is used as the descriptive word to express a requirement that is mandatory to achieve conformance to the standard. Should Standard 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. A set of high level requirements that are mandatory to be adhered to achieve MTM s objectives. 5 References & Legislations 5.1 General The electrical networks shall be designed and constructed in accordance with this Standard and relevant MTM Standards and Australian, Rail Industry and International Standards The design and construction of the electrical networks shall comply with all legislative requirements and codes Where a conflict arises between Standards or clarification as to the applicability of a Standard or a part of a Standard is required, the matter shall be referred to the MTM Chief Engineer for determination. 5.2 MTM Standards/Documents Document Number MEST MEST MEST MEST MCST MCST MEST L0-SQE-PLA-005 L1-CHE-PRO-004 Title Traction Substations and Tie Stations Overhead Line Electrification Train Maintenance Buildings Electrical Systems Earthing and Bonding Railway Bridges Electrical protection and Bonding Metropolitan Railway Stations Lighting and Power Design and Construction Track Bonding For Signalling and Traction Return Current Environmental Management Plan (Franchise Agreement Requirement) Type Approval Procedure PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 5 of 16

9 9.13 Stations shall generally be supplied from the street distribution supply. Stations may be supplied from the Essential services Distribution System. The particulars shall be as stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements The Essential Services Distribution System shall be used to supply all essential apparatus at stations. Where a loss of the street distribution electric supply would result in a public safety issue being created, the Essential Services Distribution System may be used to supply sufficient apparatus to maintain a safe environment. 10 High Voltage Distribution System 10.1 The 22kV supply is currently a number of separate systems. The independent supplies may be interconnected in future to provide improved capacity, reliability and redundancy A master plan for the 22kV network is to be developed with PTV Supply is generally to be taken from highly reliable dedicated sources being terminal stations or zone sub stations. Supplies that are shared with other electricity consumers should be avoided Supply may be taken from the supply company at 22kV or 66kV but shall be distributed within the railway network at 22kV The reliability of the 22kV supplies shall be high as appropriate for the electrical systems supporting assets involving public safety, such as avoiding the loss of supply that may stop trains between stations, placing public areas into darkness and compromising emergency response systems Independent supplies should be capable of being paralleled during switching of the network to maintain supply to the railway The 22kV network shall be designed to be fully rated for the current and projected loads over a minimum ten year period. The loads shall be as stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements. System Protection 10.8 The protection of the 22kV network shall be determined in conjunction with the supply companies The 22kV network shall be designed and fitted with electrical protection that discriminates fault currents and limits the loss of supply to the minimum number of locations consistent with the protection of the network. 11 Essential Services Distribution System 11.1 Railway stations are generally supplied from the street distribution system with all electrical devices at the station supplied from that system. This Standard requires that at new stations and existing stations where major renewal of electrical assets is undertaken, designated essential devices are to be supplied from the Essential Services Distribution System The Essential Services Distribution System is a 3.3kV supply from the traction substations. The supply shall have two sources from independent substations which shall also be supplied from two independent sources.

System Protection 11.6 The 3.3kV network shall be designed and fitted with electrical protection that discriminates fault currents and limits the loss of supply to the minimum number of locations consistent with the protection of the network The system shall be fitted with a detector that will generate an alarm at the electrical control centre in the event of a phase to earth fault. 12 Signalling Power Supply to Existing Lines 12.1 Where it is practical for the Essential Services Distribution System to be fully introduced and the signalling apparatus supplied from the system, this is to be implemented 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 following is to be put in place. The detailed requirements shall be as stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements The change from the existing 2200V and other single phase systems to the new 3.3kV system will be made progressively over many years. As a transition plan, with the upgrading of the signalling power supply locations, the equipment installed shall conform to that for the future being the 3.3kV, three phase system with UPS If necessary, the output of the 3.3kV, three phase system shall be transformed to provide a single White-Blue phase supply to the trackside. The supply shall be in phase with the existing system. The detailed requirements shall be as stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements. 13 Industrial Power Supply System 13.1 Major stations, rolling stock maintenance depots, under floor wheel lathes and train wash plants are candidates for an industrial supply The industrial power supply system may be derived from the High Voltage Distribution System or from a separate local supply. The detailed requirements shall be as stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements. PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 9 of 16

11 System Protection 13.3 The industrial power supply system shall be designed and fitted with electrical protection that discriminates fault currents and limits the loss of supply to the minimum number of locations consistent with the protection of the network V DC System System Voltage 14.1 The nominal voltage of the direct current traction system is 1500V. The system voltage is variable with loading and regeneration provided by braking trains The minimum voltage at the train pantographs under maximum demand with the traction system in normal condition shall be 1350 volts. Maximum demand is defined as occurring with the maximum number of trains in peak service operating in accordance with the timetable The minimum voltage at the train pantographs under maximum demand with the traction system in a first order degraded state shall be 1150 volts The maximum voltage under regeneration shall be 1850 volts at the train. Current Capacity 14.5 The current carrying capacity of the traction supply sections shall be based upon the maximum demand per train, the number of trains in the section, the peak current flow and the 15 minute heating effect current flow Each traction supply section shall be fully rated for the number of trains in the section under timetable and service disruption conditions. The loading conditions shall be projected ten years into the future The service disruption conditions shall assume that the loading in the traction supply section is 120 per cent of the maximum load due to the projected timetabled services The entire electrical circuit comprising circuit breakers, overhead wiring, rails, signalling equipment and negative conductors shall be fully rated for the fault, peak and 15 minute heating effect currents applicable to the section. System Protection 14.9 The 1500V DC System shall be protected against fault currents and overload currents that may damage the trains or the electrical infrastructure The protection shall be based on the principle that the operation of the protection and the removal of supply shall be limited to the affected electrical zone or section Protection of the overhead wiring system shall include instantaneous over current, over temperature detection and other contemporary proven direct current protection systems The protection system shall be designed and constructed to take account of the current generated by braking trains.

12 Substation Locations Traction substations and tie stations shall be located as close as is practical to that location determined from analysis and modelling of the voltage, current flow and electrical system protection requirements of the network to support the reliable delivery of passenger services. The analysis shall take account of the electrical system parameters applying with the projected timetable services with a ten year time horizon and include the margin of 20% for additional electrical system loadings arising during recovery from service disruptions Taking the above point as the primary requirement, the actual location for the traction substations and tie stations shall be optimised having regards to: future railway easement requirements for additional tracks; availability of incoming electric supplies; access for construction and maintenance; topography of the land including required earthworks and likelihood of flooding; and heritage and environmental requirements. 15 Rail to Earth Voltages 15.1 The traction supply system shall be designed and constructed to maintain the rail to earth voltages under normal and first order failure modes within safe limits The system shall be designed such that under normal conditions the maximum rail to earth voltage is no greater than 60V in accordance with EN , In the event that the rail to earth voltage exceeds 120 volts instantaneously or 60 volts for a continuous period of more than 300 seconds, the rail shall be connected to earth through a contactor. The operation of the contactor shall generate an alarm at the electrical control centre. The opening of the contactor shall require manual intervention. 16 Future Proofing Requirements 16.1 The electrical networks shall be designed and constructed taking into account known and projected changes to the electrical systems. The Network Development Plan Metropolitan Rail, December 2012 and successor and similar documents of the State and Metro Trains shall be considered and the particular requirements for a project stated in Form MEMF Electrical Networks Functional Requirements The supply companies are moving to progressively lift the sub transmission supply voltage from 22kV to 66kV. The design of the future network shall have regard to the changes and the timing proposed by the supply companies and the impact on the availability of the 22kV supply to the railway The State or MTM may purchase energy from more than one source. As the system is developed, the opportunities to take energy from multiple sources at differing and beneficial rates should be explored.

13 16.4 The 1500V traction system voltage is likely to be increased over time to provide a higher voltage at the train pantograph when powering and the regenerated voltage during braking will also increase. A network voltage at the pantograph of 2000V and a regeneration voltage of 2800V can be anticipated based on overseas experience Future rolling stock energy demand will be greater than that of the present trains as the trains will be longer (with increased mass) and acceleration will be required at a higher rate to a higher speed Contemporary signalling systems are based on train to infrastructure communications, referred to as communications based train control (CBTC). These systems require high quality power without interruption for the safe management of trains. The Essential Services Distribution System will meet the requirements for the security of supply to the CBTC. The loads to be supplied are to be determined for the specific CBTC installation. 17 Apparatus Supplied by the High Voltage Distribution System 17.1 The 22kV system forms the primary supply system to the railway The 22kV system, through the traction substations, supplies the 1500V DC System At substations, the 22kV is transformed to supply the Essential Services Distribution System At some traction substations and industrial substations, the 22kV system supplies industrial power At some locations the supply from the supply company is at 11kV. 18 Apparatus Supplied by the Essential Services Distribution System 18.1 The 3.3 kv Essential Services Distribution System supplies the signalling power supplies, communications power supplies and other essential services The specific devices, apparatus and systems that shall be supplied by the Essential Services Distribution System are as follows Digital Train Radio transmitters, receivers and communication nodes All fibre optic and communication devices associated with train operations, signalling, data transmission, passenger information and security Security systems to stations and signal boxes Air conditioners where the system is required for the safe and reliable operation of essential service devices CCTV systems Metrol (where practical) Centrol (where practical) Electrol (where practical) The Disaster Recovery Centre (where practical) Lighting to signal relay and signalling computer rooms PRINTOUT MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE; REFER TO METRO INTRANET FOR THE LATEST VERSION Page 12 of 16
