At present, the EN50121 standards are the main reference for electromagnetic compatibility in European railway systems. These standards should improve as technology and testing develops. Therefore, major sources of EMI in a railway environment need to be better understood. This study is complex because many different railway power systems exist in Europe (1.5 kV DC, 3 kV DC, 15 kV 16.7 Hz, 25 kV 50 Hz). European railways are using new control and communication systems, and electromagnetic compatibility problems should be carefully studied and solved.
