IEC 62848-2:2019

Railway applications - DC surge arresters and voltage limiting devices - Part 2: Voltage limiting devices

IEC 62848-2:2019 applies to Voltage Limiting Devices (VLDs) to be applied in DC traction systems in order to comply with protective provisions against electric shock from DC, and combined AC – DC voltages, in accordance with the IEC 62128 series, taking into account stray current provisions.
VLDs operate in such a way as to connect the track return circuit of DC railway systems to the earthing system or to conductive parts within the overhead contact line zone or current collector zone.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.
