ITU-T K.65 (01/2011) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of te
8、lecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing tele
9、communications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the
10、procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a
11、telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all
12、of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGH

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU

ITU-T K.65 (01/2011) 1 Recommendation ITU-T K.65 Overvoltage and overcurrent requirements for termination modules with contacts for test ports or surge protective devices 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies the requirements and test procedures for termination modules with c
22、ontacts for test ports or SPDs (see clause 3.2.15) used for symmetric pair conductors subjected to overvoltages and overcurrents. Note, other Recommendations exist, such as ITU-T K.12 and ITU-T K.28, specifying characteristics for surge protective components (SPCs). An example of where termination m
23、odules included in the scope of this Recommendation may be used is given in Figure 1. The following types of terminating modules covered by this Recommendation are: a termination module with terminals but without the facility for an SPD; a termination module with terminals and the facility for an SP
24、D; an integral termination module/SPD. The termination module and SPD are not meant to be separated. This Recommendation does not cover the requirements of termination modules used in equipment. These are covered by the relevant equipment Recommendations, i.e., b-ITU-T K.20, b-ITU-T K.21 or b-ITU-T
25、K.45. It does not cover either the requirements of insulation displacement connectors or termination modules without contacts. These are covered by ITU-T K.55. Refer to Appendix I for information on when and how to test termination modules. Basic Recommendation ITU-T K.44 (test methods and test circ
26、uits) is an integral part of this Recommendation. This Recommendation should be read in conjunction with ITU-T K.11, ITU-T K.39, ITU-T K.46, ITU-T K.47 and IEC 61643-21.

36、ions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere The majority of definitions used in this Recommendation are defined in ITU-T K.44. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 above ground: A termination module/surge protective device is considered to be above gro
37、und if the joint enclosure is not normally exposed to water. Rec. ITU-T K.65 (01/2011) 3 3.2.2 below ground: A termination module/surge protective device is considered to be used below ground when the joint enclosure may be exposed to damp or wet conditions on a regular basis, e.g., a direct buried
38、joint or a joint in a pit or manhole. A joint installed in a building basement or an enclosure is not considered below ground if flooding and water ingress is prevented. 3.2.3 controlled environment: The humidity is controlled using energy, e.g., air-conditioning. 3.2.4 earthing bar: A part or parts
39、 intended for providing an earthing connection from the earth pin of the SPD to earth. This bar may be an integral part of the termination module or a separate component when SPDs are installed. 3.2.5 fail-safe: A device used in conjunction with a surge protective device (SPC) to prevent excessive t
40、emperature rise of the SPC. If the SPC reaches a set temperature, due to the current being conducted, the fail-safe will operate and short out the SPC. 3.2.6 insulation displacement connector (IDC): An IDC is an interconnecting or terminating element for symmetric pair conductors where the insulatio
41、n is mechanically displaced during the termination process. A 2-wire connector is used to connect two wires together. A 3-wire connector is used to connect a conductor or tap from the main conductor. A modular connector, or multi-pair connector, is a connector containing more than one termination. C
42、onnectors can be either “dry“ or “filled“. A filled connector is filled with grease or gel to make it moisture resistant. 3.2.7 insulation resistance (IR): Insulation resistance is the resistance from one connection point to an adjacent connection point or earth. 3.2.8 protection circuit (PCT): A pr
43、otection circuit contains one or more surge protective devices or protective components. It may include a printed circuit board. 3.2.9 protection holder: A component used to support and electrically connect to a protection circuit (PCT). The protection holder and PCT may be integral (not separable).
44、 The combination of protection holder and PCT is a surge protective device (SPD). Different holders may be required for matching to the different types of termination modules. The termination module and SPD may also be integral (not separable). 3.2.10 protective component (PC): A protective componen
45、t is any component used in a protection circuit which cannot be classified as a surge protective device (SPC). Examples of PCs are resistors, PTCs and fail-safes. 3.2.11 semi-controlled environment: An attempt has been made to control the environment by passive means, e.g., by sealing to reduce the
46、probability of water ingress, or by ventilation to reduce the probability of water condensation. 3.2.12 surge: Temporary excessive voltage or current, or both, coupled on a telecommunication line, from an external electrical source. NOTE 1 Typical electrical sources are lightning and AC/DC power sys
47、tems. NOTE 2 Electrical source coupling can be one or more of the following: electric field (capacitive), magnetic field (inductive), conductive (resistive), electromagnetic field. 3.2.13 surge protective component (SPC) (adapted from b-IEC Electropedia, 151-11-21): Constitutes part of a surge prote
48、ctive device which cannot be physically divided into smaller parts without losing its protective function. NOTE The protective function is non-linear. Amplitude restriction effectively begins when the amplitude attempts to exceed the predetermined threshold value of the component. 4 Rec. ITU-T K.65
49、(01/2011) 3.2.14 surge protective device (SPD): Device that restricts the voltage of a designated port or ports, caused by a surge, when it exceeds a predetermined level. 1) Secondary functions may be incorporated, such as a current limiting device to restrict a terminal current. 2) Typically, the protective circuit has at least one non-linear voltage-limiting surge protective component. 3) An SPD is a combination of a protection circuit and holder. 3.2.15 terminati
