AC Mitigation Field Data Collection

AC Mitigation Field Data Collection

The following information must be gathered in order to assess the requirement for AC mitigation and build successful AC mitigation systems:

Typical Electrical Transmission Data

  • Tower geometry
  • Tower grounding/earthing details
  • Phase conductor arrangement
  • Phase arrangement
  • Conductor heights
  • Conductor separation distances
  • Shield wire data
  • Locations of any phase transpositions
  • Current loading under different conditions namely:
  • Average conditions
  • Maximum conditions
  • Emergency conditions (for power lines with multiple circuits)
  • Fault information i.e. Duration, magnitude, etc.
  • Power line-to-ground fault currents

Pipeline Data

  • Physical attributes of the pipeline
  • Detailed pipe depth of cover and centreline location in areas of
    collocation with the overhead AC lines
  • Coating type and conductance
  • Pipeline diameter
  • Presence of valves, traps, casings, pig launchers, etc.

Soil Data

In compliance with the most recent NACE and industry standards, qualified CONSULTECH AC Mitigation professionals may visit your site and gather all the data required to analyze fault current and induced AC corrosion threats as well as identify safety issues. Data collected is used to promote efficient design through comprehensive pipeline AC modeling.
