PREFACE

Unbalanced high voltage power lines (operating at or above a voltage of 650 Volts) such as single-wire earth-return lines or multi-wire power lines feeding high voltage unbalanced earth-return spur lines, can cause interference to paired cable telecommunication circuits of Telstra, unless co-ordination measures are adequate.

Proposals for such power lines and telecommunications circuits require special consideration before erection and this Code specifies the conditions which must be
observed to avoid interference.

This Code has been prepared by Telecom Australia (now Telstra Corporation) and the Electricity Supply Association of Australia (ESAA) under the auspices of the Joint Committee for Co-ordination of Power and Telecommunications (CJC), as a basis for co-ordination where the activities of these bodies co-exist. However Telstra and member bodies of ESAA are not bound to accept the contents of this Code in their work practices or procedures. It is acknowledged that different

practices from those described may be equally satisfactory depending on site

circumstances.

The Code supersedes, in part, the Code of Practice for Unbalanced Single-Phase High Voltage Power Lines (1965), Code of Practice for Multiple Earthed Neutral High Voltage Power Lines (1968) and the Code of Practice for Earth-Return High Voltage Power Lines (1977).

A reference to the 'Application Guide' for this Code shall mean a reference to the

Application Sections of the above-mentioned Codes until such time as the

Application Guide for this Code is published.

NOTES

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

1.1

This Code is concerned with the interference effects of Unbalanced High Voltage (UBHV) power lines on paired cable telecommunication circuits. The Code sets down responsibilities of the Power Utility and Telstra and acceptable limits of interference.
1.1.1

This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

Unbalanced high voltage power lines include all power lines using the earth as a return conductor for part or all of the load current, and lines in which charging current due to unbalanced voltages is carried through the earth. Specific types of power line construction include:
1.1.2

Single-Wire Earth-Return (SWER) lines; Multiple Earthed Neutral (MEN) Lines;

Single-phase lines;
ci.

Two-phase lines where the phases are not 180 degrees apart;

e.

Any multi-wire power line feeding any of the above unless fed via
isolation transformers;

Electromagnetic fields associated with power lines that carry unbalanced currents will produce interfering voltages in telecommunication lines in the vicinity.
1.1.3

Such voltages may create a hazard to persons using or working on the

telecommunication lines, or may render the telecommunication circuits unusable due to excessive noise.
Conductive coupling of power line voltages from unbalanced high voltage system earths can also pose a problem to telecommunication lines, and measures are taken to avoid this type of interference.
Electrostatic fields associated with unbalanced power lines will produce interfering currents in telecommunications lines. This type of induction mainly affects unshielded overhead lines. Such currents may create a hazard to persons, but usually are a minor noise problem.

1.2 SCOPE AND APPLICATION

1.2.1

This Code is primarily concerned with the mitigation of excessive noise in

paired cable telecommunication circuits.
