2、Protection measures for radio base stations sited on power line towers Summary This Recommendation specifies measures to be taken with respect to safety and risk of damage to equipment through earth potential rise, when power line towers are used for locating radio base stations. It also considers t

3、he special lightning protection scheme, which is needed for this type of installation. This is of special concern when power is fed from the low-voltage network, which is the most common situation. Different options are described. Three appendices are attached: Appendix I, titled “Guide on the coord

4、ination of the isolation level required for the power supply circuit and the potential rise of power line towers“, gives information on how to determine the required isolation voltage level due to the EPR at an earth fault in the tower. In Appendix II, titled “Guide on the LV feeding arrangement“, m

5、ore details on the low-voltage feeding options are given. Finally, Appendix III, titled “Characterization and control of the EPR zone of tower earthing and estimation of the minimum length of the junction section“, presents simple calculations for estimation of the EPR for the determination of the l

6、ength of the so-called junction cable. It also shows graphs of the EPR and touch voltage when grading frame earths around the equipment cabinet are installed.

7、2003. ii ITU-T Rec. K.57 (09/2003) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,

8、operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in tur

9、n, 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 which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE

Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.

11、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 language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not s

31、h potential rise 4 General Locating radio base station antennas in power line towers is mainly of interest in rural areas, where there are no tall buildings, where antennas may be installed. At the same time, some precautions have to be taken in order to make the installation safe and not to cause d

32、amage to the equipment. At every power line tower with a radio base antenna, there is a cabinet located near the tower or between the tower legs. This cabinet is sometimes elevated, if possible. The location of the equipment cabinet is not a safety issue, but rather a question of accessibility to th

33、e tower. This cabinet is hosting equipment for transmitting and receiving and has cable connections for power feeding and signal transmission. There is a transformer cabinet for power supply in close proximity to the equipment cabinet or in a dedicated part of the cabinet. The antenna may be mounted

34、 below or above the phase conductors or even above the overhead earth wire(s), if any. The power line may belong to a directly or non-directly earthed power system. There are two phenomena that have to be considered: Earth potential rise in case of earth fault at the tower This problem is treated by

35、 isolating that part of the RBS equipment, which has external metallic connection, against its cabinet and equipment, which is bonded to the tower. Lightning hitting the tower This problem is handled by bonding the above-mentioned parts of the RBS equipment through suitable SPDs in order not to jeop

36、ardize the isolation for EPR. For further information, see II.2. ITU-T Rec. K.57 (09/2003) 34.1 Earth fault characterization of directly earthed power systems When an earth fault occurs in a power system with directly earthed neutral, there will be an earth potential rise, EPR, at the feeding substa

37、tions, and also at the fault location, which may be the tower, where the radio base station is installed. In most cases the EPR will be much higher at the fault location because the equivalent impedance to the earth at this point is much higher than at the substations. For further information, see A

38、ppendix I. 4.2 Earth fault characterization of non-directly earthed power systems When an earth fault occurs in a power system with non-directly earthed neutral, the EPR will be very small due to the small amplitude of the fault current. However, double earth faults may also occur. In that case the

39、fault current will be much higher and result in a substantial EPR at both fault locations. 4.3 Earth potential rise (EPR) When a single earth fault on a power line of a network with directly earthed neutral or a double earth fault on power line(s) of a network with non-directly earthed neutral occur

40、s, a large EPR will appear at the tower, maybe tens of kVs. The EPR, as a general term, involves the two kinds of potential rise as explained in the following. 4.3.1 Tower-earthing potential rise (T-EPR) The tower potential rise is the potential of the earthing (footing) of tower with respect to the

41、 remote earth occurring during earth fault. The amplitude of the T-EPR depends on a number of different factors such as: a) earth fault current amplitude; b) earth resistance of the pole; c) aerial and underground earth wires, if applied; d) distance to the feeding power stations; e) span between th

42、e towers. The factors mentioned in items d) and e) have of secondary importance. NOTE 1 When the power line is equipped with aerial or underground earth wires, the majority of the fault current returns through these wires and only a fraction of the earth fault current flows through the tower footing

43、. The T-EPR can be characterized by the product of that fraction (3I0E) of the zero-sequence component (3I0) of the earth fault current that is passing through the tower footing, and the earthing resistance (R) of the tower, i.e., 3I0ER. The T-EPR may be calculated or preferably measured in order to

44、 determine, whether special arrangements are not needed, which is unusual; see Appendix I. NOTE 2 When the power line is not equipped with earth wires, the whole of the fault current flows through the tower footing. The T-EPR can be calculated by the product of the zero-sequence component (3I0) of t

45、he earth fault current, and the earthing resistance (R) of the tower, i.e., 3I0R. The T-EPR shall be calculated for each given case by considering the actual conditions of the tower holding the base station. 4.3.2 Zone of the earth potential rise (Z-EPR) The zone of the earth potential rise (Z-EPR)

46、is that area surrounding the tower of the power line where earth potential with respect to the remote earth occurs in case of single phase to earth fault, or in case of non-directly earthed network, double earth fault. This potential falls more or less rapidly in the earth (“potential funnel“) as th

47、e distance from the tower footing increases. The magnitude and the way of decrease of the potential depends on the following factors: ITU-T Rec. K.57 (09/2003) 4a) the magnitude of the T-EPR causing the Z-EPR; b) the geometry (size and structure) of the earthing system; c) soil characteristics (geol

48、ogical nature, stratification, etc.). More detailed characterization of the Z-EPR is given in Appendix III. 5 Power supply The RBS equipment may be powered in the following ways: 1) From the LV network through an isolating transformer in order to separate the EPR area from the surrounding: This is m

49、ost commonly used. 2) From a MV power network: In this case you can use the MV/LV transformer as isolation between the EPR area and the surrounding. 3) From the HV power line itself for example through capacitive voltage divider or inductively coupled loop: This method is expensive and hardly used. For further information, see Appendix II. 5.1 Feeding from the LV network Figure 1 shows the arrangement, when the equipment cabinet is powered from the LV network.
