IEEE 487

Description / Abstract: This standard presents general consideration for special HVP systems intended to protect telecommunications facilities serving electric supply locations. This standard contains material common to all of the IEEE 487™ family of standards including fundamental protection theory and basic electrical protection concepts and designs.

Purpose

This standard presents general considerations for the electrical protection of telecommunications facilities serving electric supply locations. This standard contains material that is common to the IEEE 487 family of standards (i.e., dot-series) including fundamental protection theory and basic electrical protection concepts and designs. In general, special protective measures, handling procedures, and administrative procedures are necessary to provide electrical protection against damage to telecommunications facilities and equipment, maintain reliability of service, and ensure the safety of personnel.
