scope:

This module applies only in areas undertaking the trial of theSingle Approach to Isolations on 25 kV a.c. infrastructure as set out in theScope of the main standard. Withinthe trial areas, this standard supersedes all the requirements ofNR/L3/ELP/29987. For all areas not involved in that trial, this standard doesnot apply and the provisions of the most recent issue ofNR/L3/ELP/29987 apply instead.

Withinthe trial areas, this module specifies how to contact Electrical ControlOperators in emergency and non-emergency situations.

Thismodule applies to Network Rail personnel and to Network Rail's contractorsworking within the trial areas, when working on the operational railway withoverhead electrificationor when working off the operational railway but where the work presents therisk of encroaching within 2.75 m of exposed Live parts.

Toprovide a consistent approach for working and managing the interfaces betweensystems and parties, other Railway Group members may, as best practice, applythis moduleto infrastructure they control within or adjacent to trial areas.
