Abstract

A lumped circuit model for calculating voltages and currents on all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cable near high voltage transmission lines has been developed. The model has been used to show that contamination levels, tower attachment points, relative ADSS and conductor sag and electrical phasing of the conductors are important parameters and must be considered in calculations, especially when determining the possibility of dry band arcs which could lead to cable damage
