These are not covered in this standard.<\/p>\n<p>D.C. systems that can cause currents to flow in the earth or any other electrolyte, whether intentional or unintentional, include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>d.c. traction systems;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>trolley bus systems;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>d.c. power systems;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>d.c. equipment at industrial sites;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>d.c. communication systems ;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>cathodic protection systems;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>high voltage d.c. (HVDC) transmission systems;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>d.c. track circuit signalling systems. For stray currents from traction systems EN 50122-2 gives requirements for minimizing their production and for the effects within the railroad.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Systems which may be affected by stray currents include buried or immersed metal structures such as:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:lower-alpha\">\n<li>\n<p>pipelines;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>metal sheathed cables;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>tanks and vessels;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>earthing systems;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>steel reinforcement in concrete;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>steel piling.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>An affected structure carrying stray currents, e.g. a pipeline or cable may itself affect other nearby structures (see Clause 8).<\/p>\n<p>This standard does not address the effect of a.c. stray current. Where a.c. stray current is suspected, care should be taken when taking measurements on any components due to risk of large induced voltages. If a.c. stray current interference is present the criteria described in this standard will not apply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Protection against corrosion by stray current from direct current systems<\/b><\/p>\n<table class=\"shortdes-table\" style=\"width: 100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Published By<\/td>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>Number of Pages<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/product-category\/publishers\/bsi\/\"><b>BSI<\/b><\/a><\/td>\n<td>2005<\/td>\n<td>34<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":249613,"template":"","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"product_cat":[2641],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-249612","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-bsi","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"sold-individually","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/249612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=249612"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfstandards.shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=249612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
