EMC Vehicle-Level Layout Design for Railway Vehicles in Complex Electromagnetic Environment

Abstract

Currently, with the rapid urbanization process in China, rail transport systems have become a good solution to the traffic jam problem. Their electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) plays an important role in the safe and reliable operation of railway vehicles. Therefore, this paper proposes an EMC vehicle-level layout scheme for railway vehicles, and designs their electrical device layout and wiring layout. Meanwhile, based on the device distribution, the railway vehicles are divided into three parts, i.e. the roof, the interior and the bottom, and their corresponding EMC partition layouts are given. Finally, taking the Shanghai Metro Line 6 as an example, the proposed EMC layout scheme is tested. The test results show that the proposed scheme can meet the requirements of EMC standards for the railway vehicles and guarantee their predefined safe and reliable operation.
