Safety
• In normal operating condition, induced
voltage limited by national standards to
50 / 60 V.
• Higher induced voltage accepted in case
of fault on the transmission system.
Corrosion of pipelines
• Low level voltage induced by transmission
systems disturbs cathodic protection of
pipelines and might lead to corrosion.
