scope:

This module states the general requirements for working on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines including responsibilities, a description of the electrification systems, the danger that can arise from live overhead line equipment and how to communicate with the Electrical Control Operator.

It is applicable to Network Rail personnel and to Network Rail's contractors.

To provide a consistent approach to working on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines, Train Operating Companies may, as best practice, apply this standard to infrastructure they control.

Purpose

This module will produce a consistent understanding of 25 kV a.c. electrification and application of the general requirements for working on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines. Further requirements for working on or about the electrified lines and for communication are contained in the Rule Book Modules AC and G1 (GE/RT8000/AC and GE/RT8000/G1).
