Alternating Current (AC) interference affects pipelines collocated near high voltage transmission lines. While overhead high voltage AC transmission line collocations are common underground high voltage AC transmission line collocations while less common can cause similar interference effects on pipelines. This paper describes a feasibility evaluation of a proposedunderground transmission line route in the United Kingdom affecting a nearby pipeline. The proposed transmission line was to consist of either three 220 kV circuits or six 132 kV circuits; both cases were evaluated. The proposed transmission line phase cables were to be installed with concentric sheath conductors direct buried in a close trefoil configuration and bonded to underground splice boxes at various locations. In addition to the proposed transmission line route the project evaluated a set of base cases: a typical pipeline paralleling at varying offsets for various lengths under a variety of operating conditions and a typical pipeline crossing scenario. The effect of soil resistivity on the interference levels experienced by the pipeline was considered. The feasibility study assessed the expected steady state fault state and AC corrosion effects that the proposed transmission line could have on any nearby pipelines. Results for all cases and scenarios will be discussed.Key words: AC interference case study underground AC power transmission pipeline integrity
Challenges associated with coordinating the modelling, design, and installation of an alternating current interference and mitigation systems. The project consisted of a 65 kilometer long double circuit 500 kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission in a heavily congested right-of-way corridor with more than 80 pipelines.

Experiments to study the effects of AC interference on cathodic protection (CP). Changes of CP potential and current density under AC interference and AC corrosion rates obtained. Effective CP potential under AC interference analyzed. Interference compared.
The measurement of induced AC voltages along a pipeline is a primary indicator of electrical safety hazards and AC corrosion risks under operating powerlines. This paper addresses several fallacies, misconceptions and common errors related to the measurement of these AC induced voltages.
