ITU-T K.68 (04/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Teleco
7、mmunication 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 telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization As
8、sembly (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 procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology w
9、hich 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 telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with
10、 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 of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory lan
11、guage 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.

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process.

21、08) v Introduction The Directives (Directives concerning the protection of telecommunication lines against harmful effects from electric power and electrified railway lines) are the reference documents dealing with the electromagnetic interference (e.m. interference) produced by electric power syste
22、ms and electrified railway systems on telecommunication systems. The Directives (1988, 1989, 1999 and 2008 editions) are divided into 9 volumes, each dealing with a separate part of the overall subject. Their use can be guided as follows: For a broad understanding of telecommunication, power and rai
23、lway facilities and their mutual coupling effects, consult Volume I. For further information on inducing installations in power or electrified railway systems, consult Volume IV (railway systems) or Volume V (power systems). For understanding the physical-mathematical theory of the e.m. interference
24、 and to know calculation methods, at various levels of detail and precision, consult Volumes II and III. To understand the effects of induced voltages and currents, i.e., danger, damage and disturbance, and the recommended permissible values, consult Volume VI. For advice on protective components or
25、 complex protective devices, consult Volume VIII. For information on relevant testing and measuring techniques, consult Volume IX. NOTE The content of the Directives has been formally agreed by ITU, CIGRE and UIC. Since their first edition (1952), the Directives have been the worldwide reference tex
26、t in the field of e.m. interference, used for establishing regional or national standards, even for topics not identical to the ones dealt with in the Directives but strictly related to them, like e.m. interference produced by electric power systems and electric traction systems on pipelines or meta
27、llic structures. The Directives were established when the number of actors involved in e.m. interference was low. Even if, in some countries, the liberalization in telecommunication, energy and transportation dates back a long time, in many countries there was only one telecommunication company, one
28、 energy company, one railway company. The solution of e.m. interference problems was managed by few specialists and had the character of scientific study. Now the number of actors is highly increased, and the solution of the e.m. interference problems must be treated as a normal design activity and
29、the need of information and the guidance of such actors are necessary. The Directives contain a very large amount of valuable information both at the scientific and practical design levels. Therefore, there is the need to guide through this information the mainly small companies or companies who cou
30、ld face the e.m. interference problems for the first time. In fact, the Directives do not answer the following questions: 1) who is responsible for the e.m. interference; 2) when the e.m. interference has to be evaluated; 3) how this evaluation shall be carried out. This Recommendation deals with th
31、e management of the e.m. interference; in particular, it aims to define: the maximum distance between the involved plants for evaluating the e.m. interference (when); the conditions (installation conditions, working conditions, energy flow, etc.) of the involved plants to which the management voltag
32、es are related (how); the Operators responsibilities for the e.m. interference (who). This Recommendation deals with all the aspects of the management of e.m. interference in a comprehensive manner. Rec. ITU-T K.68 (04/2008) 1 Recommendation ITU-T K.68 Operator responsibilities in the management of
33、electromagnetic interference by power systems on telecommunication systems 1 Scope This Recommendation gives the criteria defining situations to be examined and the installation conditions of both power and telecommunication plants under which the management voltages are applicable to the e.m. inter
34、ference produced on telecommunication systems by the following power systems: a.c. electric power systems; d.c. electric power systems; a.c. electrified traction systems; d.c. electrified traction systems; resulting from the following physical mechanisms: inductive coupling; conductive coupling; cap
35、acitive coupling; for different power system conditions: normal; fault; in the frequency range 0 Hz to 9 kHz. It covers the resulting effects of: danger to people; damage to the telecommunication system; disturbance to the telecommunication system (malfunction, noise). This Recommendation is applica
36、ble to all telecommunication lines with metallic elements. Fibre-optic cables are to be considered only if a metal conductor, screen or sheath, is included in their construction. The objective of this Recommendation is to establish: the procedure for evaluating the e.m. interference (clause 4); the
37、maximum distance between power and telecommunication plants for studying the e.m. interference between them (clause 5); the installation conditions (clause 7) of both power and telecommunication plants under which the interference results shall be evaluated (through calculations in accordance with v
38、olume II or III of the Directives, through measurements, or through a suitable combination of both) in order to check the compliance (clause 8) of the induced voltages on the telecommunication line with the appropriate management voltages (clause 6); an official agreement between telecommunication o
39、perators and electric power and electrified railway operators in order to clearly share responsibilities and, as a consequence, if necessary, the relevant expenses for mitigation measures (clause 9); 2 Rec. ITU-T K.68 (04/2008) a reminder of the need to maintain a suitable monitoring of the technica
40、l characteristics evolution of the plants involved in the interference to avoid, due to modifications, an acceptable interference evolving into an unacceptable one (clause 10). This Recommendation is applicable to all situations where a private or public telecommunication plant is liable to be influ
41、enced by one or more power plants. This Recommendation is applicable to new telecommunication and new power plants and also to existing plants where modifications are proposed, such as changes of system earthing, line configuration, operating voltage and fault current (also due to modifications in p
42、lants connected to another under consideration), which will significantly increase the existing levels of e.m. interference. This Recommendation shall be used in the determination of the types of coupling to be considered for various power system operating conditions, and in the comparison of predic
43、ted induced voltages with the management voltages given in clause 6. This Recommendation does not apply to e.m. interference from electric power systems with a nominal operating voltage below 1 kV. The definition of the mitigation measures, if necessary, is outside the scope of this Recommendation.
