  2. Aerial bundled cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_bundled_cable

    In the Dandenong Ranges area Victoria 2014. Medium voltage (11-22 kV) ABC is being replaced with underground cable due to high failure rates of HV ABC, with life expectancy of just 10 years, when original life was expected to be approx 30 years. Due to degraded cable, cost of repairs & maintenance and bushfire risk.

  3. Underground power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_power_line

    Undergrounding is more expensive, since the cost of burying cables at transmission voltages is several times greater than overhead power lines, and the life-cycle cost of an underground power cable is two to four times the cost of an overhead power line. Above-ground lines cost around $10 per 1-foot (0.30 m) and underground lines cost in the ...

  4. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    The optimization problem is made more complex by additional factors such as varying annual load, varying cost of installation, and the discrete sizes of cable that are commonly made. [1] [10] Since a conductor is a flexible object with uniform weight per unit length, the shape of a conductor strung between two towers approximates that of a ...

  5. All-dielectric self-supporting cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-dielectric_self...

    Fiber cables are generally supported on the lower cross-arms of the tower, which provides good clearance to the ground. When the fibers are installed in the middle of a tower, the fiber cable is unlikely to hit energized conductors. Lower weights and forces are used for installation, compared with metallic cables, so lighter equipment can be used.

    In 1996 they were able to successfully convert one lower-voltage transmission circuit to insulated cable. [1] Aerial cables are usually freely hanging. However the former German power company EVS used for their internal communication network communication cables that were fixed like a garland on the ground conductor or on an auxiliary rope.

  8. Optical ground wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire

    An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more optical fibers in it, surrounded by layers of steel and aluminum wire. The OPGW cable is run between the tops of high-voltage electricity pylons. The conductive part of the cable serves to bond adjacent towers to earth ground, and shields the high-voltage conductors from lightning ...

  9. Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium-conductor_steel...

    Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines. The outer strands are high-purity aluminium , chosen for its good conductivity, low weight, low cost, resistance to corrosion and decent mechanical stress resistance.
