This document specifies the permissible values of hazardous voltages on telecommunication lines and hazardous currents flowing through the human body when telecommunication lines are exposed to hazardous effects from power lines.
This document applies to various types of AC power lines and AC electrified railway contact networks under the following conditions where they may cause hazardous effects on adjacent telecommunication lines:
a) Fault conditions of power lines:
Single-phase short-circuit grounding of a three-phase symmetrically neutral-point directly earthed power line;
Single-phase short-circuit grounding of a three-phase symmetrically neutral-point non-directly earthed power line;
Simultaneous two-phase short-circuit grounding at different locations of a three-phase symmetrically neutral-point non-directly earthed power line;
Short-circuit grounding of AC electrified railway contact network conductors;
Short-circuit grounding of asymmetric power line conductors.
b) Normal operation conditions of power lines:
