| Abstract |
This work proposes a computer program – the SPST
2003– useful to evaluate the risk of damages, on
telecommunication lines, due to lightning and overvoltages.
Based on IEC 61663-1, IEC 61663-2 and AutoCAD 2004®, the
SPST 2003 was developed as an educational tool to be used on
teaching the risk of damage on telecommunication lines, either
for cables with fiber optics or metallic conductors. This software
also helps the designer on establish the adequate protection
system. Because analysis of risk of damage on buildings
requires specific standards, an automatic link to other software
is established when necessary. Students get acquaintance and
knowledge by using SPST 2003 and can solve practical
problems saving time. |
