What Is The Use of OPGW in Transmission Line?

OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) has a wide range of uses in high voltage power transmission lines,including the following aspects:

Choosing OPGW for different gear distance:

Preformed Dead-end for OPGW is designed for tower,it demand RTS not less the 95% of the grip.Single suspension set for OPGW is designed for pole,.It demand the clamp grip greater than 15% of RTS.Double suspension set for OPGW is designed for pole and tower connection.

High-voltage conductor:

It serves as the protective conductor of transmission lines, carrying and transmitting power. Its metal outer layer (usually aluminum alloy or steel) can withstand high temperature and effectively protect the stable transmission of electric power.It's U shackle plays an important role in power line connections.

Network connection:

Providing power transformission connections for power system to support the operation of the system.To secure it to a power tower, a Yoke plate is the most common component.

To secure it to a power tower, a Yoke plate is the most common component.

Environmental adaptability:

OPGW is installed at the top of the poles and towers of the power system. It is usually made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel and has good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and UV protection.

Through these multiple uses, OPGW not only improves the performance of the transmission system, but also increases the operating efficiency and economic benefits of the power industry.
