ANNEX IIISupplementary provisions

ANNEX III The Annex to Decision 2002/733/EC (HS ENE TSI) is amended as follows: (1) in clause 4.1.1 ‘Voltage and frequency’, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The voltage at the terminals of the substation and at the pantograph shall comply with Annex N to this TSI. The frequency of the voltage shall comply with Annex N to this TSI. For conformity assessment, see Annex N4’; (2) in clause 4.1.2.1 ‘Geometry of overhead contact line for AC systems’, note (3) of Table 4.2 is deleted; (3) in clause 4.1.2.2 ‘Geometry of overhead contact line for DC systems’, note (4) of Table 4.3 is deleted; (4) clause 4.2.2.4 is replaced by the following: ‘4.2.2.4.    Vehicle dynamic envelope Overhead line equipment design shall comply with the dynamic envelope of the vehicle. The gauge to be adopted depends on the category of line. Conformity assessment shall be carried out within the energy subsystem’; (5) clause 4.2.2.5 is replaced by the following: ‘4.2.2.5.    Limitation of maximum power consumption The installed power on a high-speed line and upgraded or a connecting line determines the permissible power consumption of trains. Therefore, current limitation devices shall be installed on board as described in Annex O to this TSI. Assessment shall be carried out within assessment of the rolling stock subsystem’; (6) in clause 4.2.2.8 ‘Electrical protection coordination’, the first paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘Coordination between the electrical protection of substations and that of traction units is necessary to optimise the clearance of short-circuits. (Annex E to this TSI gives the applicable requirements.)’; (7) clause 4.2.2.10 is amended as follows: (a) the third paragraph is deleted; (b) in sub-clause ‘Requirements for design of energy subsystem’ the third paragraph is deleted; (8) clause 4.2.2.11 is amended as follows: (a) in sub-clause ‘General’, the third paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘A choice has to be made by the adjudicating entity’; (b) in sub-clause ‘Requirements for control-command and rolling stock subsystems’, the fourth paragraph is deleted; (9) in clause 4.2.3.4 ‘Exception in the case of execution of works’, third paragraph, the second indent is replaced by the following: ‘— railway undertakings operating on the line shall be given notice of these temporary exceptions, of their geographic situation, of their nature and of their particular signalling, by means of written notices describing the case being the type of specific signals used’; (10) clause 4.2.3.5 is deleted; (11) in clause 4.3.1.1 ‘Installed power’, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The adjudicating entity shall declare the type of the line depending on its function with reference to Annex F to this TSI. Electrification system design shall guarantee the ability of the power supply to achieve the specified performance. Therefore, clause 4.2.2.5 gives a requirement on limitation of power consumption by rolling stock subsystem.’; (12) in clause 4.3.1.4 ‘Regenerative braking’, the third paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The adjudicating entity can decide whether or not to accept regenerative braking on DC systems.’; (13) in clause 5.3.1.2 ‘Current capacity’, the first paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The current capacity depends on the ambient conditions which are maximum ambient temperature and minimum cross-wind speed as well as the permissible temperatures of the contact line elements and the duration of current action. The design of the overhead contact line shall take care of the limits for the maximum temperatures as specified in Annex B to EN 50 119, version 2001, taking account of the data given in EN 50 149, version 1999, point 4.5, Tables 3 and 4. An analysis shall prove that the contact line is able to comply with the specified requirements’; (14) in clause 5.3.2.7 ‘Mean contact force and interaction performance of the overhead line/pantograph system’, the fifth paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The manufacturer of the pantograph shall provide for the change between the three curves to be made on board taking the appropriate information e.g. use of 1 950 mm pantograph or information on the type of voltage on the overhead contact line’; (15) Annex D is replaced by the following: ‘ANNEX D REGISTER OF INFRASTRUCTURE, INFORMATION ON THE ENERGY SUBSYSTEM The data to be provided for the registers provided for in Articles 34 and 35 of Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council  ( *1 ) are those indicated in indicated in Commission Implementing Decision 2011/633/EU of 15 September 2011 on the common specifications of the register of railway infrastructure  ( *2 ) and Commission Implementing Decision 2011/665/EU of 4 October 2011 on the European register of authorised types of railway vehicles  ( *3 ) . (16) in Annex H, Section H.3.1 ‘Overhead contact lines’, note number 3 of Table H.1 is deleted; (17) in Annex J, Section J.3.1 ‘Overhead contact lines’, note number 4 of Table J.1 is deleted; (18) Annex O is amended as follows: (a) in Section O.2 ‘MAXIMUM TRAIN CURRENT’, the first paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The maximum allowable train current is given in Table O.1: the levels apply both in traction and regeneration modes.’; (b) in Section O.4 ‘POWER OR CURRENT LIMITATION DEVICE’, the second paragraph is deleted. ( *1 )    OJ L 191, 18.7.2008, p. 1 . ( *2 )    OJ L 256, 1.10.2011, p. 1 . ( *3 )    OJ L 264, 8.10.2011, p. 32 .’;
