Question 26/V - Directives concerning the protection of telecommunication lines against harmful effects from electric power and electrified railway lines (Continuation of Question 26/V, 1985-1988; revised title and wording) The nine Volumes of the Directives (1988 edition) should be updated whenever necessary. For this reason Contributions submitted to Study Group V relevant to the contents and presentation of the Directives are to be reviewed. Considering that - the Directives (1988 edition) differ significantly from the former editions; -inducing and induced installations are described in detail; -new methods of estimating and calculating the results of capacitive, inductive and conductive coupling have been inserted; -more comprehensive information on protective measures and devices is given. Information dealing with observations based on practical experiences or new results of studies should be submitted by the users of the Directives. 1 Coordinated protection schemes for optical fibre cables are under study.
