© 2013 CUI Inc  Modern railway systems achieve efficiency by using a nominal battery voltage of 100 Vdc. However, most electronic equipment runs on 5 Vdc,12 Vdc, and 24 Vdc. CUI’s railway dc-dc converters address this issue by converting the nominal 110 Vdc.  To satisfy the stringent EN shock and vibration standard, the railway bricks have been specially designed with high shock and vibration tolerances.  EN defines the relative humidity standard; the power module should be able to withstand 75% average yearly relative humidity and 30 consecutive days with 95% relative humidity in a given year.  Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is another main category of the EN50155 standard. It states that the power module should be protected so that it is not negatively affected by conducted or radiated interference. This is referred to as EN and should not emit radio frequency interference (RFI) in excess of the defined levels. European Standard EN 50155

© 2013 CUI Inc EN defines several standards for electrical service conditions in an effort to overcome the severity of railway applications and to provide stable service. These standards include input voltage range, input voltage ripple, and input surges. EN Standard Continued CUI’s railway bricks have been designed to handle input transients between 66 Vdc ~ 160 Vdc.
