Recommended installation practices for radio equipment in electric power substations

Abstract

There are many unique problems which must be considered when installing radio equipment in an electric power substation, e.g. the higher reliability requirements, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) caused by switching surges and corona noise; the sometimes harsh physical environment; and the aesthetic concerns of the substation design engineer and others.This paper presents recommended practices and selected references which will aid the communications design engineer in solving these problems.
