IEC 61991 pdf download RAILWAY APPLICATIONS– ROLLING STOCK – Protective provisions against electrical hazards
1Scope
IEC 61991 offers a set of rules that are applied in the design and manufacture of electricalinstallations and equipment to be used on rolling stock so as to protect the persons fromelectric shocks.
The methods used to satisfy the rules may differ，in accordance with the procedures andpractices of the operating organization.
IEC 61991 is applicable to vehicles of rail transport systems，road vehicles powered by anexternal supply (trolley buses)，magnetic levitated vehicles and to the electrical equipmentinstalled in these vehicles.
This standard does not apply to
– mine railways in underground mines;
crane installations, moving platforms and similar transport systems on rails;
-funicular railways;
temporary constructions.
Testing of vehicles against the requirements of lEC 61991 is not included.For this，referto lEC61133.

For the purposes of lEC 61991, the following definitions apply.For more information relating todefinitions of parts of the fixed installations,refer to lEC 62128 from which these definitions arederived.
NOTE In order to avoid risks of misunderstanding, definitions used in the text are written in italics.
3.1 Definitions concerning persons involved
3.1.1
skilled person
person who can judge the work assigned to him and recognize possible dangers on the basisof his professional training，knowledge and experience and of his knowledge of the relevantrequirements
3.1.2
instructed person
person informed about the tasks assigned to him and about possible dangers involved inneglectful behaviour and who, if necessary, has been given a degree of training
3.1.3
ordinary person
any person who cannot be defined either as a skilled person or as an instructed person
3.2Other definitions
3.2.1
closed electrical operating area
any room or location which serves exclusively for the operation of electrical equipment and iskept secure by a means appropriate to the voltage and location
NOTE1 Access to such areas is permitted only to skilled persons and instructed persons.
NOTE 2 The definition of closed electrical operating area can be suitable for underfloor or upper roof cabinets.Generally speaking it is any location (inside or outside the car body) which is kept secure because of the voltagethat can assume the equipment inside it.Access to such areas is not allowed to ordinary persons.
