Safety of Pipelines in Close Proximity to Electric Transmission Lines
نویسنده
چکیده
AC interference from high voltage power lines can constitute an electric shock hazard and a threat to equipment integrity during both load and fault conditions. Mitigation systems are usually installed to reduce the touch voltages so that the nearby metallic utilities are safe. This paper discusses the states of the touch and step voltages for a few typical right-ofway systems under load and fault conditions. The effects of a typical mitigation system on the inductive interference levels are also studied. The results presented in this paper clearly illustrate the safety behavior of pipelines subjected to electromagnetic interference from neighboring electrical networks and the effectiveness of mitigation. Index Terms – AC Interference, safety, pipelines, touch voltages, step voltages, potentials, induced voltages, mitigation.

Abstract: Due to the expansion of high voltage Alternating Current (AC) power transmission lines and cathodically protected buried pipelines, it is becoming more and more difficult to construct them with enough safe distances between them. Thus, the pipelines are frequently exposed to induced AC interferences, which result in perturbation of Cathodic Protection (CP) due to AC corrosion. To s...
