CISPR/TR 18-2 ed2.0: Radio interference characteristics of overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment – Part 2: Methods of measurement and procedure for determining limits
This technical report forms the second of a three-part publication dealing with radio noise generated by electrical power transmission and distribution facilities (overhead lines and substations). It contains recommendations for conduction of on-site measurements of electromagnetic noise fields in the vicinity of high-voltage (HV) overhead power lines and substations and for determination of limits for protection of radio reception.The recommendations given in this part 2 of the CISPR 18 series are intended to be a useful aid to engineers involved in maintenance of overhead lines and substations and also to anyone concerned with checking the radio noise performance of a line to ensure satisfactory protection of radio reception. Information on the physical phenomena involved in the generation of electromagnetic noise fields is found in CISPR/TR 18-1. It also includes the main properties of such fields and their numerical values. CISPR/TR 18-3 eventually contains a Code of Practice for minimizing the generation of radio noise.
