Hello experts,
I'm working with a company designing some equipment for both rolling stock and trackside applications for rail applications. Information about earthing schemes for this type of equipment seems to be ill defined. The customer has been given the (vague) requirement that they must achieve a 1.5kV isolation (presumably AC) from all equipment to Protective Earth. I'm assuming that this is on the low voltage side of a power supply but this too is unclear. Does anyone have access to any relevant standards literature, app notes, books, etc on Earthing requirements for rail applications? Any pointers at all would be welcome. Some googling on may part isn't coming up with much useful. Maybe I haven't found the correct search term?
