SC6-WG - Wireline Working Group

John Fuller

Guidance for the calculation of power station ground potential rise (GPR) and longitudinal induction (LI) voltages is provided, as well as guidance for their appropriate reduction from worst-case values, for use in metallic telecommunication protection design.

Workable methods for protecting wire-line communication circuits entering electric supply locations are presented. This document covers: the electric supply location environment; protection apparatus; services types, reliability, service performance objective classifications, and transmis-sion considerations; protection theory and philosophy; protection configurations; installation and inspection; and safety. Remarks: Revised by IEEE Std 287-2007

The inductive environment that exists in the vicinity of electric power and wire-line telecommunications systems and the interfering effects that may be produced are addressed. An interface that permits either party, without need to involve the other, to verify the induction at the interface by use of a probe wire is presented. This recommended practice does not apply to railway signal circuits.

Provides guidance for controlling or modifying the inductive environment and the susceptibility of affected wire line telecommunications facilities in order to operate within the acceptable levels of steady-state or surge induced voltages of the environmental interface (probe wire) defined by IEEE Std 776-1987. Procedures for determining the source of the problem are given. Mitigation theory and philosophy are discussed, and mitigation devices are described. The application of typical mitigation apparatus and techniques and installation, maintenance, and inspection of mitigation apparatus are addressed. Advice for determining the best engineering solution is offered, and general safety considerations are discussed.

This Recommended Practice presents engineering design procedures for the electrical protection of optical fiber communication facilities serving, or connected to, electric supply locations. Other telecommunication alternatives, such as radio and cable with metallic members are excluded from this document. Project purpose: This Recommended Practice presents safe and reliable methods for providing telecommunication facilities serving electrical supply locations using optical fiber.

Common denominators for subscriber line performance, independent of facility types, construction processes or equipment, and circuit provisioning methods are provided in this standard.

The main emphasis of this recommended practice is the engineering design of optical fiber communication facilities serving, or connected to, electric supply locations. This document includes methods for providing telecommunication facilities serving electric supply locations using optical fiber cables, and their related electronic systems, extending across the zone of influence (ZOI). (IEEE Std 1590?-2009 in its entirety, was replaced by IEEE Std 487.2 and IEEE Std 487.3.)

This Corrigendum corrects the Recommended value in Table 3 Longitudinal Balance Performance Thresholds. This Corrigendum also corrects the last sentence in the third paragraph of Clause 8.5.

This recommended practice addresses the inductive environment that exists in the vicinity of electric power and wire-line telecommunications systems and the interfering effect that may be produced thereby; guidance is offered for the control or modification of the environment and the susceptibility of the affected systems in order to maintain an acceptable level of interference. An acceptable level is defined as an amount of steady-state or surge induced longitudinal voltage or current that does not cause a personnel or public safety hazard, damage to cable or equipment, and/or circuit degradation or failure. To aid the user of this recommended practice in calculating induction between power and telecommunication lines, the concept of an interface is developed. This recommended practice permits either party, without need to involve the other, to verify the induction at the interface by use of a probe wire. This recommended practice does not apply to railway signal circuits.
