SummaryThis Recommendation deals with planning and constructing telecommunication lines at crossings of electric power lines. It gives information about: – protection against earth potential rise (EPR) in the vicinity of power line towers in cases where the telecommunication line is routed underground at the crossing; – the use of reinforced construction and/or insulation of conductors for overhead telecommunication lines; – the choice of protection measures dependant on the voltage of the power line. Reference is made to the Directives, Vol. VI. |
