Summary

This 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.
