IEEE 1137-1991

This Guide offers users assistance in controlling or modifying the inductive environment and the susceptibility of affected wire-line telecommunications facilities in order to operate within acceptable levels of steady-state or surge-induced voltage of the environmental interface (probe wire) defined by IEEE Std 776. The methodology, application, and evaluation of results for mitigative techniques or devices in general are addressed for all Specific Type A and Specific Type B coordination methods also defined by IEEE Std 776.



New IEEE Standard - Superseded. Provides guidance for controlling or modifying the inductive environment and the susceptibility of affected wire line telecommunications facilities in order to operate within the acceptable levels of steady-state or surge induced voltages of the environmental interface (probe wire) defined by IEEE Std 776-1987. Procedures for determining the source of the problem are given. Mitigation theory and philosophy are discussed, and mitigation devices are described. The application of typical mitigation apparatus and techniques and installation, maintenance, and inspection of mitigation apparatus are addressed. Advice for determining the best engineering solution is offered, and general safety considerations are discussed.
