This module applies only in areasundertaking the trial of the Single Approach to Isolations on 25 kV a.c.infrastructure as set out in the Scope of the main standard. Within the trial areas,this standard supersedes all the requirements of NR/L3/ELP/29987. For all areasnot involved in that trial, this standard does not apply and the provisions ofthe most recent issue of NR/L3/ELP/29987 apply instead.

Within the trial area, this module states therequirements for the Disconnection, securing, testing and earthing of theOverhead Line Equipment (OLE) for 25 kV a.c. electrification.

This module applies to Network Rail personnel and to Network Rail’s contractorsworking within the trial areas, when working on the operational railway withoverhead electrification or when working off the operational railway but wherethe work presents the risk of encroaching within 2.75 m of exposed Live parts.

Itis also applicable, in relevant parts, to Train Operating Companies and FreightOperating Companies having locally controlled 25 kV a.c. OLE which abut thosecontrolled by Network Rail.

To provide a consistent approach for working and managing the interfaces betweensystems and parties, other Railway Group members may, as best practice, applythis module to infrastructure they control within or adjacent to the trialarea.

Further requirements are contained in the Rule Book module AC (GE/RT8000/AC) andHandbook 16 (GE/RT8000/HB16), and in Network Rail’s Lifesaving Rules.
