STANDARD
BS EN 60322:2001
Issue date: 2001 08 15
Railway applications. Electric equipment for rolling stock. Rules for power resistors of open construction
This International Standard gives the rules for all power resistors (for example braking heating snubber and filter) used in the power and auxiliary circuits on board rolling stock irrespective of the circuit and the type of vehicle where they are used.
These resistors are generally of open construction and are used in polluted areas. The construction consists of resistor elements of grids plates strips ribbons or wires.
NOTECertain of these rules may after agreement between user and manufacturer be used for electrical equipment installed on other vehicles such as mine locomotives trolley buses etc.
This standard states
the characteristics of the resistors;
the service conditions with which the power resistors have to comply;
the tests intended for confirming that these conditions have been met and the methods to be adopted for these tests;
the information to be marked on or given with the resistors.
This standard does not give requirements relating to general service conditions and general rules which are given in IEC 60077-1.
The object of this standard is to adapt the general rules given in IEC 60077-1 to power resistors for rolling stock in order to obtain uniformity of requirements and tests throughout the corresponding range of components and to avoid the need for testing to two different standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about BS EN 60322:2001
When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.
Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
If you have an extensive portfolio of standards, we recommend using a professional standards management tool. With effects 2.0, you can manage your standards centrally and efficiently. You can optimise your procurement processes and benefit from an integrated information and subscription service. This ensures you are always up to date and never miss any relevant developments.
