This module states the requirements to be met when working on Overhead Line Equipment.
It is applicable to Network Rail personnel and to Network Rail's contractors.
To provide a consistent approach to working on or about Overhead Line Equipment, Train Operating Companies may, as best practice, apply this standard to infrastructure they control.
This Standard also includes:
• Work on or about any future sections of electrification on Network Rail controlled infrastructure and areas required to adopt a process for securing points of disconnection to form points of isolation to use the Supplementary Isolation Process (Module X).
• Planning of isolations, testing and earthing of overhead line equipment on Network Rail controlled infrastructure equipped with 750V d.c. overhead line system (Sheffield Tram Train - Module Y).
• Planning of isolations, testing and earthing of overhead line equipment on Network Rail controlled infrastructure equipped with 1500V d.c. overhead line system (Sunderland Metro Systems Operating Area - Module Z).
Purpose
This module provides a consistent approach to working on Overhead Line Equipment.
NOTE: Further requirements for working on or about the electrified lines are contained in the Rule Book Module AC (GE/RT8000/AC) and Handbook HB16 (GE/RT8000/HB16).
