IEEE 16-2020

This standard prescribes design, application, and test requirements for electrical and electronic control apparatus on rail vehicles. NOTE--This standard covers neither rotating equipment nor the functional aspects of converters.

This standard is intended to provide a set of uniform design, application, and test requirements for electrical and electronic control apparatus on rail vehicles. These requirements are the minimum necessary for suitability for use in a rail vehicle environment. Use of this standard should lead to enhanced levels of safety and reliability, and lower acquisition and maintenance costs.

Revision Standard - Active. A set of uniform design, application, and test requirements for electrical and electronic control apparatus on rail vehicles is provided in this standard.
