In this type of OPGW cable, the central stainless-steel tube is
surrounded by a Single or Double layer of Aluminium-clad Steel Wires
(ACS) or mix of ACS Wires and Aluminum Alloy Wires.
CHARACTERISTICS AND
APPLICATIONS
- Used by electric utilities on transmission lines in place of traditional shield wires
- Mechanical and thermal protection for fibers by hermetically sealed stainless-steel tubes
- Good compactness and high-tensile strength
- Light weight with small cable diameter and short circuit capacity
- Construction, suitable to 132KV/220KV and 400 KV lines
- Good anti-corrosion and lightning performance
- Outer layer strands facilitate enough conductivity to carry fault currents and have the strength to withstand the
mechanical stress - Used by the domestic utilities like GETCO and MSETCL
