are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
3)
In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the
wish that all National Committees should adopt the text of the IEC
recommendation for their national rules in so far as national
conditions will permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation
and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be
clearly indicated in the latter.

SECTION TWO - DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall
apply. Other terms used have the meanings attributed to them in IEC
Publication 50, unless otherwise stated.
5. General
A line trap, consisting of a main coil in the form of an inductor, a
tuning device and a protective device, is intended for insertion in a
high voltage power transmission line between the point of connection of
carrier-frequency signals and adjacent power system elements such as
busbars, transformers, etc. The tuning device connected across the
main coil ensures, with proper adjustment, that the line trap presents
a relatively high impedance at one or more carrier frequencies or
carrier-frequency bands, whereas the impedance of the line trap at
power frequencies is negligible. A line trap may also be used to limit
the loss of carrier-frequency at a power system tee point.
Untuned line traps are sometimes used where there is a requirement
for a wideband coupling. However, attention is drawn in Sub-
clause 5.4 to the possibility of series resonance occurring under
certain power system conditions, leading to an unacceptable shunting
effect of the carrier-frequency signal path.
Figures la and lb show the circuit diagrams of typical line traps.
5.1 Main coil
An inductor which carries the power-frequency current of the high
voltage transmission line.
5.1 .1
Apparent inductance
The reactance of the main coil divided by the angular frequency at
which the reactance was determined, uncompensated for the effect of
self-capacitance.
5.1 .2
Power-frequency inductance
The inductance L at power-frequency.
5.1.3
True inductance
The self-inductance Lt of the main coil at a specified frequency
compensated for the effect of self-capacitance.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST IEC 60353:1997
353©IEC -17-
5.1.4 Rated inductance
The value of true inductance L tN at 100 kHz.
5.1 .5 Self-capacitance
which, together with the true inductance, causes
The capacitance C
the main coil to "resonate at self-resonant frequency. The self-
capacitance is a function of the design of the main coil.
5.1.6 Self-resonant frequency
The frequency at which the combination of true inductance and self-
capacitance becomes resonant.
5.1.7 Resistance of main coil
The value of resistance at d.c. current.
5.1 .8 Temperature coefficient
The ratio a of the change in resistivity due to a change in tempera-
ture of 1 °C relative to the resistivity at 0 °C.
5.1.9 Rated power frequency
The frequency f of the high voltage power transmission system to
pN
which the line trap is connected.
Tuning device
5.2
The combination of capacitors, inductors and resistors connected
across the main coil. All of these components may not be present at
any one time, depending on the carrier-frequency requirements of the
line trap.
5.3 Protective device
The device connected across the main coil and tuning device which
prevents the line trap from being damaged by transient overvoltages
which may occur across it. Additional protective devices may be fitted
to protect individual components of the tuning device.
Carrier-frequency characteristics
5.4
Power system elements such as transformers, busbars, lines, etc.,
represent an impedance connected beyond the line trap between line
and earth. This impedance, in series with the impedance of the line
trap, may shunt the carrier-frequency signal path. The loss in signal
power resulting from this shunt depends upon the vectorial sum of the
two impedances.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST IEC 60353:1997
353 © IEC - 19 -
In the most unfavourable case, the reactive components of the two
impedances may neutralise each other thus reducing the total shunt
impedance to an unacceptably low value.
In order to eliminate this possibility and the further possibility of
varying shunting effects arising out of power system switching, the
blocking impedance of the line trap should always include a resistive
component. The line trap performance can therefore be assessed in
terms of its resistive component only.

specified carrier-frequency range.

current /kN flowing through the main coil for a specified time without

assumed to be 2.55 times the r.m.s. value.
5.5.3 Emergency overload current
The amount of current which the main coil can sustain for a
specified period without suffering permanent damage or a significant
reduction in useful life.
SECTION THREE - REQUIREMENTS
6. General requirements
6.1 Main coil
The rated inductance of the main coil shall be chosen from the
recommended values given in Clause 20 and shall not be less than 90%
of the stated value.
Where there is a requirement for interchangeability, a suitable upper
limit shall be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser. Otherwise,
an upper limit does not require to be specified.
Note.- For calculations of blocking resistance or bandwidth based on
blocking resistance, the lower tolerance should be used.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST IEC 60353:1997
353 ©IEC - 23 -
6.1.1 Self-resonant frequency
This frequency shall always be higher than 500 kHz except for line
traps having a rated inductance greater than 0.5 mH where it may not
be possible to achieve such a high frequency because of the physical
construction of the main coil.
6.1.2 Q factor
Where interchangeability is of prime importance, a Q factor of not
less than 30 at 100 kHz must be assured. The physical construction of
the main coil can have an influence on the Q factor.
6.1.3 Current ratings
The continuous and short-time current ratings shall be in accordance
with Clauses 21 and 22.
6.2 Tuning device
The tuning device shall be so arranged as to permit interchange
without removing the line trap. It shall be so designed that neither
significant alteration in the line trap blocking requirements nor
physical damage shall result from either the temperature rise or the
magnetic field of the main coil at continuous rated current, rated
short-time current or emergency overload current.
6.3 Protective device
It is recommended that non-linear resistor type arresters for a.c.
systems in accordance with IEC Publication 99 or an equivalent national
standard, whichever is more appropriate, be used for insulation co-
ordination and that the nominal discharge current be equal to or
greater than that of the station arresters installed behind the line
trap. In no case shall this current be taken as less than 5 kA.
The protective device shall be so designed and arranged that neither
a significant alteration in its protective function nor physical damage
shall result either from the temperature rise or the magnetic field of
the main coil at continuous rated current, rated short-time current or
from emergency overload current. It shall neither enter into operation
as a result of the power-frequency voltage developed across the line
trap by the rated short-time current nor shall it remain in operation
after a response to a transient overvoltage which is immediately
followed by the power-frequency voltage developed across the line trap
by the rated short-time current.

SIST IEC 60353:1997
353©IEC - 25 -
7. Blocking requirements
Specification of the blocking impedance and the tapping loss are for
agreement between manufacturer and purchaser. This standard does
not give any detailed guidance on the permissible variation of these
two quantities within the bandwidth of the line trap.
Attention is, however, drawn to Clause A3 of Appendix A where the
relationship between rated inductance, blocking resistance and band-
width is discussed.
For the purpose of stating the bandwidth, a maximum loss of 2.6 dB
is suggested for both tapping loss and tapping loss based on blocking
resistance. This corresponds to a line trap blocking resistance of 1.41
times the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. A typical
case is that of a line trap of 570 Q blocking resistance connected to a
transmission line of 400 Q characteristic impedance, this being a typical
value of the phase/earth impedance of a single conductor transmission
line.
8. Continuous service requirements
The temperature rise of any part of a line trap under rated
continuous current conditions shall not exceed the values given in
Table I at altitudes below 1 000 m and the air temperature range given
in Sub-clause 4.3. The temperature rise at the hot spot should be
measured directly and the average temperature rise calculated from the
increase in resistance of the main coil as described in Sub-clause 19.1.
Since a line trap is usually not fully loaded during all its working
life, the values given in Table I are higher than those given in IEC
Publication 85.

adopted by agreement between manufacturer and purchaser.

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------

SIST IEC 60353:1997
353 © I EC - 27 -
If a line trap is intended for service where the air temperature is
likely to exceed the upper limit of the range given in Sub-clause 4.3
by not more than 10 °C, the allowable temperature rise shall be
reduced by:
- 5 °C if the excess temperature is less than or equal to 5 °C;
- 10 °C if the excess temperature is greater than 5 °C but less than
10 °C.
No recommendations are given regarding the temperature rise where
the air temperature exceeds the upper limit given in Sub-clause 4.3 by
more than 10 °C.
For a line trap intended for use at altitudes greater than 1 000 m
but tested at lower altitudes, the limits of temperature rise given in
Table I must be reduced by 2.5% for each 500 m above 1 000 m.
Note.- Certain parts of a line trap may require, or be capable of
having, individual temperature specifications depending on
their positions relative to the main coil. For bare metallic
parts or windings, the temperature rise shall not exceed the
limits given for adjacent material. For the dimensions of the
terminals, attention is drawn to IEC Publication 129 noting
that the terminals of line traps operate at higher temperatures
due to eddy currents produced by the magnetic field of the main
coil.
9. Ability to withstand rated short-time current
9.1 Mechanical strength
The ability of a line trap to withstand the mechanical forces
produced by the asymmetrical peak value /km of the short-time current
a) of Sub-
shall be verified by carrying out the tests specified in Item
clause 19.4.
9.2 Thermal behaviour
The ability of a line trap to withstand the heating effect of the rated
short-time current /kN shall be verified by carrying out the tests
specified in Item b) of Sub-clause 19.4.
10. Insulation level
10.1 Insulation across a line trap
The insulation level for the insulation between the terminals of a line
trap is governed by the rated voltage of the protective device. The
insulation of the main coil and the tuning device shall be adequately
rated for:

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------

SIST IEC 60353:1997
353 ©IEC - 29 -
a) the voltage U developed across the line trap at rated power
frequency by the rated short-time current. This voltage U shall
be:
U = 21 • f • Lp •
pN
/kN
where:
f pN = rated power frequency
L = power frequency inductance of the main coil measured in
p
accordance with Clause 19.6
rated short-time current
I kN
The rated voltage of the protective device shall be higher than U.
b) the front of wave impulse sparkover voltage or the residual voltage
caused by the nominal discharge current of the protective device,
whichever is higher.
10.2 System voltage insulation
The system voltage insulation of a line trap is provided by insulator
strings or post insulators. For these IEC Publication 383 applies. The
line trap system voltage insulation shall be consistent with the other
equipment in the associated high voltage transmission network.
10.3 Line traps for use at high altitudes
In the case of line traps intended for use at altitudes between
1 000 m and 3 000 m, but tested at altitudes below 1 000 m, the test
voltage for those insulations which are formed by air distances shall be
increased in accordance with IEC Publication 71-1.
11. Radio influence voltage (RIV)
Radio influence voltage may be generated by corona on the line trap.
It is therefore recommended that the corona inception voltage be at
least 15% higher than the phase to earth voltage (U m/V3) of the trans-
mission network to which the line trap is connected. The maximum
system voltages U given in Table II are in accordance with IEC
m
Publication 71-1. The test voltages (1.15 . 0 /V3 in three-phase supply
networks) relating to each power system voltage, are also given in
Table II. The maximum radio influence voltage is a matter for
agreement between manufacturer and purchaser.

12. Power losses
Power losses occur in the main coil due to the passage of power-
frequency current and the presence of eddy currents. The magnitude
of these losses is a function of the design of the line trap and the
material used in the windings.
If the purchaser requires the losses to be determined, this should
be done by agreement with the manufacturer who should thereafter
declare them. It is pointed out that a requirement for low power losses
can influence the carrier-frequency performance of the line trap.
Since line traps vary widely in design and construction, it is
recommended, for comparison purposes, that the losses should be
corrected for a temperature of 75 °C.
A method of correcting power losses with regard to temperature is
given in Appendix A, Clause A4, for guidance only.
13. Tensile strength of suspension system
The suspension system of a line trap shall be designed for a tensile
stress of at least twice the mass of the line trap in kilograms, multi-
plied by 9.81 to convert to newtons, plus 5 000 N.

Bird barriers
14.1
The provision of bird barriers is optional. If provided, no entrance
to the line trap shall admit a sphere having a diameter of 16 mm.

The position and type of terminals used is a matter for agreement
between manufacturer and purchaser. Attention is, however, drawn to
IEC Publication 518 and NEMA Standard CC1-1975 for details of
recommended dimensions.
SECTION FOUR - RATING PLATES

This should be in accordance with IEC Publication 99-1.
SECTION FIVE - TESTS
18. General conditions
The tests may be made by the manufacturer at any ambient
temperature between 0 °C and +40 °C, indoors or outdoors.
For the tests, the line tap shall be mounted in a position similar to
what it would be in service unless otherwise stated. The ambient
temperature during the tests should be noted.
Some or all of the type tests may be repeated as sampling tests if
specially agreed to between manufacturer and purchaser. The tests on
the protective device shall be carried out in accordance with IEC
Publication 99-1, or an equivalent national standard.
Note.- For some of the following tests, particular methods are
suggested in the interests of simplicity. Other methods,
including direct read-out instruments which eliminate or reduce
computation, can be used providing their accuracy and suit-
ability can be adequately demonstrated. It is important when
carrying out carrier-frequency measurements, to ensure that the
measuring loop is kept as small as possible in order to exclude
extraneous impedances.
Also, all equipment used in such measurements (including the
line trap) should be kept clear of metallic surfaces and
objects and, where appropriate, the impedance of the test leads
taken into account.
19. Tests
The titles of the following sub-clauses will indicate which are type
tests and which are routine tests.
19.1 Temperature rise test (type test)
This test is designed to prove the thermal behaviour of the line trap
at rated continuous current. The temperature rise of the main coil of
the line tr
