Description / Abstract:
This guide contains information and recommendations for applying
audio tones over voice grade channels for power system relaying,
including transmitting and receiving equipment, leased voice grade
channels, application principles, installation, and testing.
Reflected in this guide is the knowledge and experience of
equipment manufacturers and telephone companies as well as that of
power utility users.
This guide is not intended to supplant specific or general
instructions contained in the manufacturers' instruction books or
in any contractual agreement between a manufacturer or telephone
company(s) or both and a purchaser of a given relaying system. The
figures in 4.3 are used for illustrative purposes only and do not
represent the preferred protection under all conditions.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this document is to guide the power
system user in applying, installing, and operating audio-tone
protective relaying systems over voice grade channels. Secondly, it
is to provide a reference for equipment manufacturers engaged in
the design and application of relaying equipment and for telephone
personnel engaged in providing telecommunications channels for
audio-tone protective relay schemes. The guide has been prepared
not only for those considering audio-tone relaying for the first
time, but as a reference for the experienced.
