Question 9/5 - Interference produced by power lines and electrified railway lines into telecommunication networks

Continuation of Question 12/5 studied in 1997-2000

Type of question

Task-oriented

Reason for question

The electromagnetic interference between telecommunications lines and power and electrified railway lines have been studied by ITU and the results of these studies are reported in the nine volumes of the Directives and in Recommendations K.33, K.53 and K.54. There is a need to maintain these documents and to ensure good coordination between them.

Text of question

This question will revise Volume VI of the Directives considering Recommendations K.33 and K.53.

The question will also review the suitability of techniques for testing the immunity of telecommunication equipment against induced voltages by a.c. power and electrified railway lines (revision of Recommendation K.54)

Specific objective and time-frame

A new edition of Volume VI of the Directives providing guidance on limits concerning permissible levels of induced voltages and currents and on responsibility of different network (telecommunications and power/railway) operators (2002).

A revision of the recommendation on immunity test methods and procedures of telecommunication equipment (2004).

NOTE - The revision of the Directives should be done in collaboration with CIGRE and UIC.
