PREFACE

This Standard will be managed under the Engineering Standards Development Procedure
(L1-CHE-PRO-032).
As documents are uncontrolled once printed, it is imperative to check the currency of the Document
on The Depot or the MTM’s Document Portal which is available externally at
https://documentportal.metrotrains.com.au.
All MTM Standards and Specifications are periodically reviewed, and new editions are published
which incorporate learnings and Technical Notes (formerly known as Design Practice Notes).
Technical Notes are issued between editions which correct any errors or ambiguities contained in
an MTM Standard/Specification. Standards and Specifications may also be withdrawn and/or
replaced.
In the event of conflicts or discrepancies between different types of technical documents, refer to the
order of precedence as defined in ‘Chief Engineer’s Guideline Engineering Standards Listing’ (L1-
CHE-GDL-005).
Note: Any clarification described in a Technical Note or Design Practice Note shall take precedence
over the impacted clause or clauses in the associated MTM Standard/Specification.
In the event a clause within a Standard/Specification is not achievable a waiver will need to be raised,
please refer to the ‘Engineering Waiver Procedure’ - L1-CHE-PRO-001.
Note: MTM does not have the authority to grant waivers on any Standards/Specifications or clauses
within a Standard/Specification which relate to Government Regulations or Legislation, e.g.

1 Preface
1.1 For the purpose of this document, the terms “Distribution” and “Transmission” are to be used
interchangeably. Transmission is defined as a voltage greater than 66kV, so a 22kV system
is a distribution system by modern definition. However, the term 22kV Transmission has been
used in the railway context historically for many years and is understood.

2 Purpose
2.1 To define the standards required for the design and construction of 22kV AC distribution
lines, cables and related equipment for the Melbourne Metropolitan Railway.

3 Scope
3.1 This Standard applies to the design and construction of all new electrification projects for the
Melbourne Metropolitan Railway Network.
3.2 This Standard also applies to the upgrading of the existing traction wiring, distribution lines,
cables and related equipment.
3.3 The Standard applies to works on the Infrastructure Lease and to works undertaken on other
land which are intended to expand or enhance the provision of passenger services and to
form part of the Infrastructure Lease.
3.4 MTM Head of Engineering – Electrical shall be consulted in cases where there are perceived
to be uncertainties, conflicts or ambiguities as to the requirements or the intent of this
standard.

10.1.3 Legacy HV distribution routes where the 22kV supply is mounted on shared
Overhead wiring support structures are to be relocated as rebuilding allows and
replaced with insulated cables in CSRs.
10.1.4 Where constraints exist, 22kV distribution conductors may be run as bare
Overhead conductors on free standing poles/masts only with the express approval
of the MTM Head of Engineering - Electrical, or delegate.
10.1.5 22kV distribution conductors may be provided from the point of supply from the
distribution/transmission provider or between traction substations.
10.1.6 For 22kV distribution clearances to the Overhead infrastructure, refer to drawing
H6999 or as per the applicable ESV regulation, whichever is the more onerous.
10.1.7 ESV regulations shall apply to clearances for 22kV conductors to ground, earthed
items, buildings, bridges, pedestrian overpasses and other public areas.
10.1.8 22kV distribution conductors shall not pass over platforms.
10.1.9 22kV distribution conductors shall not pass over tramways OHW conductors.
10.1.10 Masts and structures carrying HV conductors shall be earthed in accordance with
MEST 000002-07 – Earthing Requirements for HV Transmission Structures.
10.1.11 HV AC distribution line aerial conductors shall be fully rated for the load and fault
currents applicable to the installation.
10.1.12 HV AC distribution lines shall not be installed on masts which also support 1500V
conductors or signalling equipment.
10.1.13 Clearance requirements for ABC shall be as per bare aerial conductors.

perpendicular to the 1500VDC conductors.
10.2.1.8 Distribution conductors crossing public roads, waterways, footpaths or
pedestrian crossings shall be strain supported and shall include no joins
or splices in the crossing span.
10.2.1.9 Generally a tension length of distribution conductor is 1000m. Design
should consider the placement of strain supports accordingly.
10.2.1.10 Current carrying connections shall not be placed in tensioned 22kV
conductors.

10.2.2 Sag
10.2.2.1 All HV conductors shall, at the maximum conductor temperature and any
ambient conditions, not sag to below the applicable electrical clearances
to ground, other conductors or nearby structures. Refer D3218, H6999
and ESV regulations.

10.2.3 Splices
10.2.3.1 Splices in HV conductors are to be avoided. Where splices are required,
