Wire Line Subcommittee (E0)

Scope

  1. Studying and reviewing engineering, operational, and testing aspects of the protection and use of all forms of single and multipurpose wire line communications systems that serve electrical power stations or that are otherwise subjected to the influence of electric power or lightning.
  2. Developing and maintaining related standards, recommended practices and guides for such aspects.
  3. Coordinating with other technical committees, groups, societies and associations as required.
  4. Preparing and arranging for publication technical reports related to the Subcommittee’s scope.

Standards

IEEE-1692 Guide for the Protection of Communication Installations from Lightning Effects
ChairVice-Chair:
Scope: The document addresses methods and practices necessary to reduce the risk of damages to communications equipment within structures arising from lightning surges causing GPR (ground potential rise) and similar potential differences.

Status: Active

IEEE-367 Recommended Practice for Determining the Electric Power Station Ground Potential Rise and Induced Voltage from a Power Fault
ChairVice-Chair:
Scope: Guidance for the calculation of power station ground potential rise (GPR) and longitudinal induction (LI) voltages is provided, as well as guidance for their appropriate reduction from worst-case values, for use in metallic telecommunication protection design.

Status: Active

IEEE-487 Standard for the Electrical Protection of Communications Facilities Serving Electric Supply Locations — General Considerations
ChairVice-Chair:
Scope: General considerations are presented for the electrical protection of telecommunications facilities serving electric supply locations. This standard contains material that is common to the IEEE 487(TM) family of standards (i.e., dot-series) including fundamental protection theory; basic electrical protection philosophy, concepts, and designs; protection apparatus; service types; reliability; service performance objective (SPO) classifications; and transmission considerations. In general, special protective measures, handling procedures, and administrative procedures are necessary to provide electrical protection against damage to telecommunications facilities and equipment, maintain reliability of service, and ensure the safety of personnel.
