1 Scope
This part of IEC 62505 provides assistance, guidance and requirements in the design of protection, control and measuring systems in a.c. installations at traction voltages (see IEC 60850) intended to provide a power supply to traction systems. This application guide identifies the characteristics and parameters of equipment used in the measurement, control and protection of a.c. traction systems. Guidance is given in the correct use of protection.

3 Measurement Two types of measurements are made:
a) measurement of current and voltage signals for connecting to instruments and telemetering;
b) measurement of current and voltage signals used for operating protection relays on over- current, low impedance, over/under-voltage and short circuit or distance protection. The class, ratio and burden should be selected from the values in IEC 62505-3-2 or IEC 62505-3-3. The accuracy and purpose are dependant on the class selected.
4 Closing control systems
4.1 General The application of the features described below depends on the philosophy of the user’s control system. Closing control systems are usually only those which involve the electrical closing of switchgear devices. Their effect is to permit or inhibit a closure depending on the status of the system (and plant) and the compliance of specified requirements.
4.2 Anti-pumping
This system limits the closing device to effect a single attempt while the signal to close is maintained. If the device fails to complete a satisfactory close operation whilst the close signal is maintained, then attempts at further reclosing (pumping) are inhibited.
An anti-pumping can be achieved in the closing control circuit in various ways, either by using circuit-breaker mechanism auxiliary switches or a timing relay. It only allows a single closing pulse to the closing device, which resets when the initial closing signal is released.
The purchaser should specify the need for anti-pumping feature.
4.3 Auto-reclose with variable reclose time and final lock out
Auto-reclose is only applied to line circuit-breakers and its purpose is to restore the system voltage to the overhead contact line automatically when there is a temporary loss of supply.
