17、RTS OF TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS 1. General The purpose of the protection measures against lightning is to reach a balance between the cost of protec- ting lines and plant from lightning damage and the cost of repair and the tolerable number of faults (see Chapter i), in a given area. These costs w

18、ili depend on the number of thunderstorm days per year (keraunic level), soil resistivity and the degree of shielding provided by buildings, water pipes, and metallic structures in general. A classification of zones according to the risk of lightning strikes appears to be useful. It is not possible,

19、 however, to make a universally valid classification solely in terms of the number of thunderstorm days per year, because the effect of lightning on telecommunication cables (which is the real criterion) differs according to the other factors involved, including the local earth resistivity and the t

20、opographical situation. A relatively low keraunic level may therefore give rise to a low fault rate in one region but to a high fault rate in another. Each country must make its own local observations to determine the relation between the keraunic level in their areas and the fault liability, and to

21、 classify their zones accordingly. Figure 6.1 indicates how a synoptic table may be drawn up showing lowdanger and higher-danger zones as a function of the number of thunderstorm days and of earth resistivity. 100 - D 50 - - al al u C - .- a t Y 20 10 10 10 firn CCITT-ZZCUI Earth resistivity (p) 0 L

Protection of lines 2.1 Overhead lines The route followed by an overhe

23、ad line is usually dictated by local conditions and can hardy be changed to take account of the requirements of protection against lightning. 2.1.1 Open-wire lines As a rule, it is difficult to protect open wire lines against direct lightning strikes. In sectors where conduc- tors are often broken b

24、y the electrodynamic forces of powerful discharges, the frequency of such damage can be reduced, for example, by choosing conductors of larger diameter. Some protection may also be provided by installing shield wires above the open wires. Such shielding may be provided by either electric power dis-

25、tribution conductors in cases where common poles are used, or conductors installed especially for the pur- pose. The latter should be earthed at intervals of about 100metres. 2.1.2 Aerial cables The protection of aerial cables depends on the use to which they are put. Cables containing a large numbe

26、r of conductors and linking important traffic centres justify higher protection costs than less important cables of simple design with a small number of conductors. The replacement of less important cables in the event of infrequent breakdown is cheaper than the application of expensive protective m

27、easures. Cables of short length and simple design fairly often have plastic insulation and sheath without any metal screen, though they may have a metallic water barrier (see Chapter 5, paragraph 12, type A). The protective effect of a metal sheath may be characterized by the method described in Cha

28、pter 5, paragraph 1 1. The fact must be borne in mind, however, that earthing the metallic sheath at intervals (for ex- ample at suspension points) is less effective than a uniformly distributed earthing of a buried cable with wire or tape armouring. In consequence, to attain the same fault rate, ae

29、rial cables need a higher quality factor than underground cables. Thisincrease in the quality factor should be obtained mainly by choosing an insula- tion between the cable core and the metallic sheath having a high dielectric strength (for example synthetic plastic materials), because using a metal

30、lic sheath with a low resistance would result in an undesirable in- crease in the weight and of the cost of the cable. The protectors, installed at the end of such a cable to protect the equipment connected to the conductors at that point, also protect the cable over a certain length against breakdo

31、wn of the insulation due to surges. In very stormy regions and in the case of long cables, it might be advantageous to install protectors at distribution points. The purpose of such protectors is to prevent dangerous differences of potential between the conductors of the main cable and they must the

32、refore be put on the main cable side of distribution and cross-connection points. In the case of thermoplastic cables without metallic sheath, protection can be provided by a shield wire or a suspender wire earthed at a large number of poles. Open-wire line insulators should not be mounted on, and a

33、erial cables should not be hung from, trees. 2.1.3 Transitions from overhead lines i) Some Administrations fit protectors at transition points only when the open wire line or aerial cable ex- ceeds a certain length, for example, 500 metres. Howe-fer, experience in other countries has shown that in i

34、) This paragraph concerns those aerial cables having a plastic sheath, with or without a metal screen or water barrier. It does not concern aerial cables with a metallic sheath, which do not need protectors at such transition points. Ed. 1978 4862593 Ob79073 31T CHAPTER 612.1.3 7 areas where thunder

35、storms are frequent, there is a risk to subscribers and equipment even when the open wire line is short, and protectors must then be fitted. In any case, protectors provided at transition points must be connected between all conductors, including unused spare conductors, and the metal sheath of the

36、un- derground cable. In addition, the common point of the protectors should be connected to a special earth elec- trode (buried wire or spike) in order to reduce the discharge currents flowing in the cable sheath. Such an earth electrode should be laid in the transverse direction to the cable run in

37、 the horizontal plane. The resistance to earth of any additional earth electrode should be as low as possible. If a suficienty low resistance cannot be achieved, each conductor of the overhead line must be provided with additional ad- vanced protectors 200 to 500 metres from the transition point. Wh

38、en a protector strikes, an impulse voltage builds up along the cable between the conductors and the metal sheath (see Figure 4.6). It may therefore be advisable, particularly with paper-insulated cables, to provide additional protectors between the conductors and the metal sheath at intervals determ

39、ined by the extent to which the voltage exceeds the dielectric strength of the cable. All of the above considerations are also valid in the case of transition points between open wire lines and aerial cables. 2.2 Underground cables 2.2.1 General The considerations in Chapter 1, paragraph 2, concerni

40、ng the aims and limits of protection against light- ning are the frst things to bear in mind when planning cable protection. Cables laid in built-up areas, alongside rdways, near iron ducts, or near other installations which act as shields, have already a certain degree of protection. Even in open c

41、ountry, damage can be avoided to a certain extent by a careful choice of route. Cables should, as a rule, be laid well away from roots of trees, isolated or in rows, and buildings in an exposed situation. Similarly, when there are down-going conductors of lightning arrestors in the neighbourhood, su

42、fficient distance should be left between them and the telecommunication cable, unless special measures have been taken to protect the latter. 2.2.2 Metallic-sheathed cables in contact with earth 2.2.2.1 General considerations concerning such cables Cables of earlier classical design (for example, pl

43、astic-sheathed cables with an armouring of steel wire or tape or lead-sheathed cables) can be constructed with a resistance to atmospheric surges which should ensure satisfactory service reliability in areas where the soil conductivity is good to medium and which are moderate- ly exposed to thunders

44、torms (for example, flat country). In such cases, however, the following precautions should be taken : a) The cable armouring should be connected to the jointing sleeves and the metallic sheath by soldered b) The metallic sheaths of the cables should be connected to the earth conductors of exchange

45、and line c) All joints must be meticulously finished so as to obtain a dielectric strength as high as in the cable. d) In the vicinity of steel structures exposed to lightning stroke (for example, the earthing systems of pylons of electric power lines), the cable sheath must be insulated from the ea

46、rth (for example, by drawing the cable through a watertight thermoplastic tube). The area of risk is shown in Figure 3.7. connections. equipments. Ed. 1978 m 4662591 0679072 056 8 CHAPTER 6/2.2.2.1 Additional service reliability can be obtained by the following methods: Transformers may be inserted

47、to ensure the galvanic separation of the circuits in a cable from the equipments. They should have a dielectric strength adapted to that of the cable. This condition is nor- mally fulfded by cables with paper-insulated conductors, but not by those with thermoplastic insuia- tion. Protectors may be i

48、nserted with the shortest possible connections between all conductors (including spare conductors) and the metallic sheath at the ends of the line and at ali branching points, par- ticularly when the conductors are galvanically Connected to the equipments. One or more shield wires (see Chapter 5, pa

49、ragraph 9.2) may be laid above or alongside the cable. A suitable material for shield wires is galvanized iron wire, 6 to 8 rnm in diameter, which is more flexible than steel tape and is therefore easier to lay. When copper is used for shield wires, care must be taken that galvanic corrosion elements do not form in conjunction with other, nearby metals. 2.2.2.2 Cables of special design security against lightning currents is to be found in Chapter 5, paragraph 11, and in Figure 5.2.
