 European Signalling System for
Caledonian Railway Cables
Rail Industry

European Signalling System for Rail Industry

Interoperability has become a keyword in the European Rail

sector. It is easy to see there is an urgent need for a harmonized,
interoperable train control system. At least seven proprietary ATP
systems (Bombardier, Alstom, Invensys, Alcatel, Ansaldo/CSEE,
Siemens /ZUB) were installed in European railway, creating a
considerable barrier to Interoperability. A deep change in the
communication and signalling system is taking place with the new
ERTMS projects (European Rail Traffic Management System). Its
purpose is to set up a common ATP/ATC System through Europe,
allowing trains to cross borders easily and therefore increase the
competitiveness of railways on international corridors for freight
and passengers. The vision is to operate all high-speed lines and most other conventional lines through ERTMS/ETCS in
Europe.
In the early days of ETCS development，Siemens and other signaling suppliers worked together within the
EUROSIG group, which defined and specified the ETCS components to ensure compatibility and interoperability of the
various sub-components and sub-systems. Siemens was the first to offer the S21 Eurobalise for commercial projects.
German Rail (DB) has chosen the Berlin--Halle/Leipzig line as one of the European pilot lines for commercial operation
at ETCS Level 2. The objectives of the pilot project are to demonstrate the interoperability of the system, employing
components developed by various manufacturers. The line is equipped with conventional axle counters and lineside
signals. For ETCS Level 2 operation, the line will have three radio block centres, each connected via LAN to the relevant
electronic interlocking, and approximately 1000 S21 Eurobalises. Installation of GSM-R (Global System for Mobile
Communications--Railways) has been successfully completed, covering the basic functionality of ETCS Level 2, such as
movement authorisation.
The Signum system (Automatic Train Warning System –ATW) was the first in the Swiss Rail network to provide help
or supervision to drivers. It significantly increased the safety with acoustic signals in cabins coupled with distance signals.
However, this ATW system had no impact on network capacity. The French equivalent ATW system was the“crocodile”
based on another technical concept, which of course was a problem to interoperability. When Swiss Federal Railways
(SBB) introduced new signals in the 1990s, the ZUB system (Automatic Train Protection – ATP, with balises on the
tracks) was introduced in order to launch emergency barking in case of exceeding specific needs. Such a system was
mainly implemented in German speaking countries, whereas in France for example it was the KVB. At least 10 different
ATW/ATP systems were then developed in Europe, creating a considerable barrier to Interoperability.

ÔÔ What is ERTMS
The European Rail Traffic Management System has been defined in 3 levels

55 ERTMS Level 1:

With the Infill loop functionality, the train will receive

a message in advance to pass this signal before reaching the
balises. Therefore, the train can accelerate immediately
when the signal goes from red to green

ERTMS Level 1 is a Train Control System based on track-to-train communication by an intermittent system. The
system includes Lineside Encoder Units (LEU) which is designed to acquire traffic information and convert this into
conditioning messages to be sent to the balise for subsequent processing by the On Board equipment. Each LEU can
command up to 4 balises. Each Encoder cabinet can house up to 8 LEUs. The maximum distance between balises is
5 km. Connection to Computer Based Interlocking is either through a safety protocol stack based on“Profibus”, or
HDLC proprietary serial link. Purpose of the Eurobalise is to transmit a message to the On-Board equipment in order to
advise the driver and the On-Board ATP processing unit about the train positioning and the conditions of the track and
traffic ahead, and hence take the appropriate actions for train speed and for the protection of the train itself, passengers
and infrastructure alike. LEUs and Eurobalises are linked through a suitable connection cable. The On Board equipment
serves to calculate the dynamic speed profile, select the most restrictive speed value, compare the train’s actual speed
with the permitted speed and, if necessary, perform brake application. Radio In-fill is a functionality that can be optionally
added to the ERTMS Level 1 in order to increase the performance of the line. Purpose of the Radio Infill Unit is to
transmit the message corresponding to the Eurobalise in advance with respect to the Eurobalise placed at the signal. In
this way, a train approaching a signal at stop can revoke braking as soon as the signal clears without waiting to get to the
signal itself. The In-fill message is transmitted via radio using GSM-R and Euroradio safety protocols, as in ERTMS Level
2. The use of radio allows a continuous infill coverage at unlimited distance from the signal.

ERTMS Level 2 is a Train Control System based on data communications between the Centralized Block Centre
and the trains, via a radio system. ETCS Level 2 brings the introduction of radio transmission for railway signalling i.e.
GSM-R (Global Standard of Mobile Communication-Rail) in the frequency range of 900 MHz. In this case, the Eurobalise
acts as intermittent transmission device, mainly for location reference. The Radio Block Centre (RBC) is wayside
redundant management system designed to provide information continuously to each train and knows from trains their
positions; it receives track circuits and route status information from the Automatic Block System and from Interlockings.
ETCS Level 2 combines many advantages as follows:
- Long term compatibility with other European railways by use of Eurobalise beacons;
- On-board signalling by use of radio transmission with the GSM-R protocol;
- Minimum amount of devices in the track, what reduce time and costs for track maintenance.

 Electrification System for Rail Industry

The electric railway needs a power supply that the trains can
access at all times. Transmission of power is always along the track
by means of an overhead wire (catenary) or at ground level, using an
extra, third rail laid close to the running rails. AC systems always use
overhead wires, DC can use either an overhead wire or a third rail;
both are common.
The railway electrification system supplies electrical energy to
the trains at different voltages which include 600V DC, 750V DC,
1500V DC, 3000V DC, 15KV AC 16⅔Hz & 25KV AC 50Hz. The lower
voltages are often used with third or fourth rail systems and voltages
above 1000V are normally limited to overhead wiring for safety reasons. 750 volt DC third rail supply has been used
extensively in UK for trains running up to 145 km/h, which is about its limit for speed.
25KV AC is the preferred system for high-speed and long distance railways, commonly adopted in Europe, India and
United States. DC system is the preferred option for shorter lines, urban systems and tramways. 1500V DC is commonly
used in Netherlands, Japan, India, France, New Zealand and United States, 3000V DC is commonly used in Belgium,
Italy, Spain, Poland and south Africa.
While use of a third rail does not require the use of DC, in practice all third-rail systems use DC because it can carry
41% more power than an AC system operating at the same peak voltage. Third rail is more compact than overhead
wires and can be used in smaller-diameter tunnels, an important factor for subway systems. DC systems are limited to
relatively low voltages, and this can limit the size and speed of trains and the amount of air-conditioning the trains can
provide. This may be a factor favoring overhead wires and high voltage AC, even for urban usage. In practice the top
speed of trains on third-rail systems is limited to 100mph (160km/h) because above that speed reliable contact between
the shoe and the rail cannot be maintained. Besides the third rail, fourth rail system may be adopted, as found in the
London Underground. The additional rail carries the electrical return that on third rail and overhead networks is provided
by the running rails. On the London Underground, a top contact third rail is beside the track, energized at +420V DC and
a top contact fourth rail is located centrally between the running rails at -210V DC, which combine to provide a traction
voltage of 630V DC.

Basic Design for Railway Cables

As a global supplier, Caledonian offers extensive range of copper and fiber cables in three key economic sectors:
infrastructure, industry and building. Our cables are used in rolling stock, railway infrastructure, energy and telecom
networks, automobiles, shipboard, oil, mining & petrochemical, windmill applications, etc. Caledonian has always been
at the forefront of meeting the requirement of the most advanced railway standards within the ERTMS. The ERTMS
requires high levels of EMC performance. Caledonian signaling and control cables are designed and built to comply with
such EMC requirements, with the use of special insulation and sheath materials with different screening designs.

004 www.caledonian-cables.co.uk
 Caledonian Railway Cables Basic Design for Railway Cables

Caledonian designs a wide range of signaling and control (branded as RAILSIG), power (branded as RAILFEEDER),
coaxial (branded as RAILCOX), fiber optic (branded as RAILOPTICS) and databus cables (branded as RAILDATA)
specially adapted to rail environments, providing enhanced fire performance, oil resistance and flexibility. In rail sections
including the station, trackside and tunnel, virtually all the cables have to be halogen free, as well as fire retardant, and
assure low toxicity and minimal smoke to enhance survival, fire fighting and emergency operations.
Caledonian covers wide area network for main line, metropolitan area network for subway, light rail and intercity
arrival/departures, and station range cable for efficient rail management. Caledonian can provides optic fiber for both
analogue and digital railway applications such as (ESTMS/ETCS). Caledonian can also offer reliable cables to power the
trackside equipments and provide low frequency communications.
Copper multicore, multipair and multiquads are used for signalling and control cables. Caledonian signalling and
control cables guarantee electromagnetic immunity critical for communications from catenaries and current rail. They
are designed to survive along the track, resistant to high temperatures, humidity, oil and ultra violet light. They have
high dielectric strength, and come in Low smoke halogen free and fire retardant versions suitable for tunnels, stations
and platforms. The cables can be customized to provide different reduction factor, special fire performance sheathing
and specific color coding. Caledonian signalling and control cables exhibits exceptional performance because of special
manufacturing process, choice of suitable insulation and sheathing materials for the rail environments.
Caledonian railway cables offer Rail authorities and operators, contractors a wide range of cable solutions, which may be
one of the world’s most comprehensive and technologically advanced answers to rail industry.
Caledonian has developed railway cables that meet the challenges posed by railway industry for low smoke and
toxicity, even in a system that has the stringent requirement in the world. London Underground, a thriving railway system
that carries a billion passengers in a year, also lay claim to be the oldest train system in the world. The first underground
railway to operate electric train, it is usually referred to as a tube, thanks to the shape of the tunnel far below the street
level. Built in late 1800s, the long tunnels were not designed for optimum fire safety. In fact, the long sections are designed
without exits. As a result, if a fire began inside the tunnels, smoke and fumes will overwhelm the passengers, who would have
no ready means of escape. Therefore, extreme precautions are taken to prevent the occurrences of fire smoke, fume and toxic
vapor, which is one reason the system standard for smoke and toxicity is the most stringent of any rail systems in the world.

55 Low smoke and fume, Low toxic and Oil resistant

The railway industry has the exact requirements for cables that are used in both infrastructure (the tunnels)
and rolling stock (trains). These requirements cover underground train, tunnels, railways, subway, tram, trackside
and mass rapid transit propulsion equipments. Safety is the critical issues. In fact, smoke and fume levels deemed
safe are specified in different standard including BS 6853(UK), NFF 16101(France), DIN 5510 (Germany) and TS
45545-2(Europe).
Caledonian become aware of the market demand for a low smoke and fume, halogen free railway cables that would
meet London Underground BS 6853 for low smoke and low toxicity, while also providing excellent resistance to mineral
oil, withstanding IRM 903 for 7 days at 100 deg C.

55 Flame retardant, UV resistant and temperature resistant

In addition to low smoke and toxicity in the event of fire, the cables are featured by
-Highly flame retardant
-No acid gas emission during fire
-Mineral oil resistence at high temperature (IRM 903 7 days at 100C)
-Wide operating temperature from -40degC to 120degC

www.caledonian-cables.co.uk 005
 -Weathering testing indicates 20-years UV resistance.
-Can be crosslinked via dry silane or e-beam technology to achieve high temperature resistance.
Caledonian railway cables can be designed to offer an extremely wide operating temperature range of +125℃ down to -60℃ ,
a very low smoke density and are always classified as short circuit cable and earth fault-proof cables

55 Anti Induction for Railway Signalling & Control Cables

The magnetic field resulting from the power supply voltage of the catenaries (25KV A.C.) induces an electromotive
force (e.m.f) in all conductors subjected to this field. If a conductor is protected by a conductive e metallic sheath, the e.m.f
decreases from V1 to V2. The ratio rk = V2/V1 is called the screening or reduction factor. This screening or reduction factor is
measured according to CCITT standard, requiring the cable sample of 2m length should achieve the required values for this rk
factor as given in the table here below.

 Caledonian Railway Cables Basic Design for Railway Cables

ZCO3- Anti Induction Cables with two helically applied steel tapes (electromagnetic shield) and copper tapes
(electrostatic shield)
In a theoretical and simplified way, this factor is equal to |R/Z|, R being the linear D.C. resistance of the metallic
sheath and Z its linear impedance Z= r + jLω at the frequency ω/2π (generally 50Hz). The minimum value of the rk factor
is obtained by decreasing R using screen with a high conductivity (such as copper) and by increasing L (and Z) choosing
a screen with a high magnetic permeability (such as steel).

ÔÔ Signalling & Control Cable to French Rail Standard

According to French rail, intercity Railway Signalling Cables rated
750V Railway signally cables are meant for signal circuits which link
permanent installations situated along rail tracks. They are generally
installed in conduits and meet the ST 698G (ZPGU-ZPAU Series)
and CT 362 (ZCO3 Series) standard. They are multicore or multipair
signaling and control cables providing low voltage energy and two way
telecommunications for field equipment. The key features lie in the
electromagnetic immunity with high reduction factor, especially for high
speed lines.

55 Unarmoured Local Link Cables (ZPGU Series)

The unarmoured ZPGU cables are used mainly on short distance links inside or outside the service cabins.

55 Armoured Main Signalling Cables for non electrified lines or 1500V DC Lines (ZPFU Series)
The armoured ZPFU cables are used for the main circuits of 1500V DC electrified lines.

55 Armoured Main Signalling Cables for 25KV AC electrified lines (ZPAU Series)
These cables are called“Anti induction cables”which are recommended for use in the main circuits of electrified
lines in 25KV A.C. They are designed with improved protection against induction according to the following principle:
when a telecommunication line is affected by electrical and magnetic fields resulting from the power supply voltage of the
catenaries (25KV A.C.), there is an electromotive force induced between conductors and earth. The anti induction cables
include several layers of metallic screens (copper and steel) to provide a very efficient protection against interferences.

55 Armoured Main Signalling Cables for High Speed Train lines (ZCO3 Series)
The basic application of ZCO3 cables is for the carrier current signal system of high speed train line (TGV). Due to
an increase in the induction screen thickness and the steel armor, their anti induction protection is much higher than the
ZPAU Series cables.

55 Equipment Cables for Control Centers (ZUG/SUG/ZUT, CV/CVZ & SCG Series)
ZUG/SUG/ZUT are equipment cables installed in traffic control centre or trackside equipment shelter, used for indoor
interconnection between the computer devices and railway network equipment. ZUG & ZUT are multipair equipment
cables and SUG are multicore equipment cables. CV/CVZ cables are used as cabling wires for the relays and electronic

www.caledonian-cables.co.uk 007
equipment. The cables are suitable for use only in Optical Control Panel (OCP) wiring. The SCG cables are designed for
connect the equipment centre to the device concerned. The cables are used as local control or power supply cables for
trackside and between the rail equipments.

55 K23 Cables
K23 are main armored LSZH multiquad signalling cables for metro local train and tramlines. They are designed
for remote controls and teletransmissions in underground railway networks. The cables are used for digicode cable
signaling, being laid in channel, cable tray, or on hook supports, along suburban railway lines, electrified at maximum
1500V DC. The cables have aluminium moisture barrier, double steel tape armour and LSZH sheath.

55 K24 Cables
K24 are LSZH multipair signalling cables for metro local train and tramlines. They are designed for remote controls
and teletransmissions in underground railway networks. The cables are used for digicode cable signalling, being laid in
channel, cable tray, or on hook supports, along suburban railway lines, electrified at maximum 1500V DC u, b. K24 have
aluminium moisture barrier and LSZH sheath, with optional double steel tape armouring,

55 Digicode Cable
Digicode Cable are indoor railway signaling cables designed for transmission of track circuit digicode signals up to
30KHz in electrified lines, being installed in cable trays. The cables are covered by flame retardant LSZH sheath with
double layers of steel tapes, with low capacitance values.

ÔÔ Signalling & Control Cable to German Rail Standard

55 AJ-2Y2YDB2Y
AJ-2Y2YDB2Y are multicore signaling cables designed for transmission
of service tensions up to 600 VDC / 420 Veff AC100Hz with induction
protection. With the combination of copper wires and either 0.5mm or 0.8mm
thick steel tape, the cables can be offered with different reduction factors ( 0.15,
0.35 and 0.55) and capacitance values (115, 145 & 95 nf/Km).

55 A-2Y2YB2Y/A-2Y2Yv

ÔÔ Signalling & Control Cable to Spain Rail Standard
55 EAPSP
EAPSP are multicore and multiquad signaling cables without induction protection, which can be installed directly to
the ground. This is equivalent to A-2Y(L)2Y(SR)2Y according to VDE standard. The cables are equipped with moisture
barrier and corrugated steel tape armouring.

55 CCPSSP & CCTSST

CCPSSP & CCTSST are multicore, multipair or multiquad armoured signaling cables used for transmission of low
frequency signals in high speed lines. Either copper wires or tapes are used to serve as electrostatic shield. With the
combination of either copper tapes or wires and double layers of 0.8mm thick steel tape, the cables can offer either 0.1
(copper wire) or 0.3 (copper tape) reduction factor. CCPSSP is covered with PE sheath equivalent to AJ-2Y(St)2YB2Y
according to VDE standard and CCTSST is covered with fire retardant non corrosive PE sheath, similar to AJ-2Y(St)
HBH. The cables can be jelly filled to offer full watertightness.

ÔÔ Axle Counter Cables

Axle counters are track-side devices that detect the passing of a train in
lieu of the more common track circuit. The axle counter monitor and count the
number of train wheels passing by them. A counting head (or 'detection point')
is installed at each end of the section, and as each axle passes the head at
the start of the section, a counter increments. A detection point comprises two
independent sensors, therefore the device can detect the direction of a train by the
order in which the sensors are passed. As the train passes a similar counting head
at the end of the section, the counter decrements. If the net count is evaluated as
zero, the section is presumed to be clear for a second train.
Axle counter cables are used to connect the track-side axle counters,
which are usually positioned at intervals of between 1 and 3km, to the central monitoring system for determining train
presence, direction of travel and number of wagons. Axle counter cables are usually armoured, jelly filled, PE insulated
and sheathed cables used for transmission of signals up to 90 kHz in axle counter train detection systems. The applicable
standards are RT/E/PS/00031 and NR/L2/SIG/30060.
Axle Counter cables are characterized by low reduction factor and offer a high level of shielding against the
electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced by high-voltage overhead catenaries and other power feeds.
Typically, the operating signals from the axle counters vary between 60 and 90V, and a key requirement for this
very demanding safety-critical application is that the axle counter cable should offer a low voltage drop, with a loss of just
a few volts over long lengths. This is significantly better than conventional signal cables. Further, Axle Counter cables
give clear advantages in term of cable size and watertightness performance. The cables are compact in size and flexible
enough to enable it to fit easily within the already crowded train axle counter systems.

ÔÔ Eurobalise Cables
Purpose of the Eurobalise is to transmit a message to the On-Board equipment in order to advise the driver and the
On-Board ATP processing unit about the train positioning and the conditions of the track and traffic ahead, and hence

010 www.caledonian-cables.co.uk
 Caledonian Railway Cables Basic Design for Railway Cables

take the appropriate actions for train speed and for the protection of the train
itself, passengers and infrastructure alike. The balise cables are used for the
Eurobalise and the balise transmission modules in the On-Board equipment.
The cables are flexible, resistant and have electromagnetic immunity for high
frequency communications which is a necessity for a radio based GSM-R traffic
management system.
These specialised balise cables are to be used in the upgrading of rail
network to meet ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) requirements. The implementation of ERTMS
will facilitate higher-speed services and an increased number of connections on railways. The balise cables are advanced
copper signalling cables which will be installed along the tracks to carry vital information regarding train position, length and
number of wagons. This information will be used by the Automatic Train Control (ATC) system and relayed both to the driver
via transponders, otherwise known as "balises", and to the train control centre. The balise cables therefore play a vital role in
maintaining high levels of safety as the volume of rail traffic increases.
