ITU-T Study Group 05 Bad installation and insufficient resistibility 5 7/3/2011 TTC WorkShop SPD Surge Protective Device Optic Fiber Smart Meter Good installation and Adequate resistibility are needed.

ITU-T Study Group 05 Philosophy of protection 6 7/3/2011 TTC WorkShop SPD SPD Surge Protective Device Optic Fiber SPD Good Bonding (K.66) Additional Protection (K.66) Adequate Resistibility (K.21,K.44,K.66,K.71,K.hnwr) Classification of interface (K.75) Good installation and Adequate resistibility of equipment Who knows K.66? Is Japanese type grounding configuration special?

ITU-T Study Group /3/2011 TTC WorkShop Yes No Determine the power induction limits Identify the equipment and the number and type of ports Does the equipment have more than one port type? Enhanced Are there unique problems requiring high isolation values? No Yes Special Basic Are the power induction limits > 600 V? Yes No Figure 1/K.hnwr - Flowchart for determining required level of resistibility Selection for Required resistibility (K.hnwr/Draft) Bad bonding configuration (K.66 For example, the bonding wire length >1.5m ) 5.2 Resistibility Recommendation K.21 has two levels of resistibility basic and enhanced. Specification EN 50468:2009 gives advice on the selection of basic and enhanced. EN 50468:2009 advises: For equipment having only external telecommunication ports the resistibility requirements are defined in ITU-T K.21Basic level. For equipment having additional connections to networks e.g. power networks, the test levels are defined in ITU-T K.21 Enhanced level The required level of resistibility can be determined in Figure 1/K.hnw. Information on Special requirements is contained in K.44. When the bonding configuration is not along with K.66

ITU-T Study Group 05 Concideration Coordination of protecters and Safety and Lightning protection are important. 9 7/3/2011 TTC WorkShop A N E Un safe method Class II without earthed SPDs A N E Safe method Class II with earthed SPDs Safety and lightning Protection in no earth FUSE Safety = Breaking Fuse Minimize of Damage ratio = No Breaking Fuse SPD2 SPD1 The impedance is need for coordination between SPDs V0 V1 V2 Coordination of protection o Resistibility of inherent ICs or circuit is becoming smaller, so it becomes more difficult to prevent the damage. o No Earth is Un safe?

ITU-T Study Group 05 Bypass circuit and Safety standard o Conflict between Safety standards (e.g. IEC 60950) and Lightning protection (Recommendation K.66 and so on). Bypass circuits between AC mains and telecom ports described in K.66 should be permitted in any case to protect telecommunication equipments against overvoltages. The protector operate voltage would be higher than the insulation test voltage. Unfortunately the safety standards, e.g. IEC 60950, do not allow voltage limiters to bridge supplementary insulation, double insulation or reinforced insulation. Technical Session - Home Networks - Geneva TD566 is describe in detail, please read them.

ITU-T Study Group /3/2011 TTC WorkShop Conclusion o If we are to prevent damage to HNW equipment we need: Adequate resistibility of equipment Special resistibility of equipment, when the equipment can not be controlled the installation environment. Correct classification and use of ports Good installation practices Correct earthing and bonding Protection for external and internal ports as necessary.
