IEEE 1137-2018

This Recommended Practice offers users assistance in 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(TM). 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.



Revision Standard - Active. 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(TM) is provided in this Recommended Practice. 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 are addressed. Advice for determining the best engineering solution is offered, and general safety considerations are discussed.
