scope:

This recommended practice defines the classification and composition, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packing, transportation, storage, and installation of distributed traveling wave fault location devices for high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission lines. This recommended practice can apply to a distributed traveling wave fault location device for HVDC transmission line and can be a reference for ac transmission lines.

Purpose

This recommended practice is intended to regulate the classification and composition, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packing, transportation, storage, and installation of distributed traveling wave fault location devices for HVDC transmission lines while promoting the application and development of fault location technology for HVDC transmission lines. This recommended practice can provide sufficient technical support for researchers of distributed traveling wave fault location devices for HVDC transmission lines, and help ensure the accuracy, reliability, and maintainability for location results.
