The nominated performance of all components and devices shall be guaranteed at this ambient temperature. 8.2 Electrical Conditions The Assembly will be used to supply 1500V DC power to trains on the MTM network. This electrical network consists of traction substations and tie-stations and a 1500V DC overhead contact wire distribution system. The substations contain rectifier units with continuous power ratings of between 1.5MW and 4.0MW. The voltage of the 1500V DC network at the substations and tie-stations typically varies between 1000V DC and 1800V DC. The overhead contact wire distribution system typically consists of sections between 2 and 5 km in length. It is susceptible to lightning and short-circuits, typical of this type of construction and use. The maximum prospective fault current of the 1500V DC network adjacent to a substation is typically in the range of 30,000 A to 120,000 A. The time constant of the fault current is generally in the range of 5 to 20 milliseconds. The maximum prospective fault current through the Feeder DCCBs for a fault at the distant end of an overhead section is typically in the range of 3,000 A to 15,000 A with a time constant of 15 to 50 milliseconds. The assembly enclosure will typically be electrically insulated from the floor, and connected to the substation 1500V DC negative bus at a minimum of two points. Alternatively it may be insulated from the floor and connected to the substation earth via a single frame leakage relay for the assembly.
