An improved model for the electromagnetic compatibility of all-dielectric self-supporting fiber-optic cable and high-voltage power lines

摘要

It has become common for utilities to locate optical-fiber communication systems on their transmission line towers. One type of cable used for this purpose is all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cable, which is usually located below the phase conductors. Cables of this type have failed because of exposure to high electric fields. In this paper, a model is developed which can be used to establish the conditions for failure-free operation of ADSS cable.
