IEEE 643-2004

IEEE Guide for Power-Line Carrier Applications

Revision of IEEE Std 643-1980 The purpose of this guide is to provide application information to users of carrier equipment as applied on power transmission lines. Since the major applications of the power-line carrier (PLC) is for protective relaying, special consideration for these applications has been included. Information related to the expanding usage of carriers on distribution lines below 69 kV is not specifically covered. Detailed equipment design information is avoided as this is primarily the concern of equipment manufacturers.

P643
Guide for Power-Line Carrier Applications

Material on power line carrier channel characteristics is presented along with discussions on intra-bundle conductor systems and insulated shield wire systems. Procedures are provided for the calculation of channel performance. Data for the calculations is drawn from various sections of the guide. The coupling components considered are line traps, coupling capacitors, line tuners, coaxial cables, hybrids, and filters. Frequency selection practices are also discussed. Detailed equipment design information is avoided as this is primarily the concern of equipment manufacturers. Information related to the expanding usage of carriers on distribution lines below 69 kV is not covered.

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
