Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Steering Group
The purpose of the Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Steering Group (EMC SG) optimises the interface between vehicles and train control and communication sub-systems and between vehicles and the energy sub-system with respect to electromagnetic compatibility. This optimisation activity is not covered in any detail in any other GB forum, but it is essential to get a cross-industry view.
"EMC SG provides an informed GB view of European developments in the area of EMC standards to ensure that proposed requirements for standards are acceptable to infrastructure managers and rolling stock suppliers. We are focusing on two key areas: developing guidance for compatibility with telecoms circuits, and assessing the impact of Electrical Resonance occurrences on compatibility."
Scope
The work of the EMC SG specifically relates to balancing the design of new rolling stock and the specification of target or preferred train control and communication systems. The group considers the strategy for how new train control and command systems can be introduced with existing rolling stock. It also considers the operation of new vehicles with existing train control and communication systems.
