ADSS- [Aerial Dielectric Self-Supported] Installed at the center of Pylons/ Poles/ Structures Cost much less than OPGW or WRAP type Suitable for hot line installation without deenergization of line Large Fiber capacity It is used as telecommunication purposes on high voltage power lines. Typically the life span of ADSS is 10 to 15 years. 52
Overview of ADSS Cable ADSS is a self-supporting optical fiber cable. It has no metal component and can be installed on live lines with no outages. Hundreds of thousands of miles of ADSS have been installed all over the world, on power lines rated up to 500kV. Area of Application On Power Lines On Street Light Pole From Pole to building Cable Selection These cables can be designed for almost any combination of environmental and sag/ tension requirements. Based on our detailed survey of site conditions, we supply an optimal choice of ADSS cable with other accessories. ADSS Installation Technique The lifetime of ADSS on power lines will depend on the following factors Electrical 1. Space Potential Effect 2. Corona Effect 3. Dry-Band Arching Mechanical 1. Span Lengths and Sag 2. Tension on Cable Environmental 1. Wind Velocity and Aeolian Vibration 2. Sheath Composition for UV Resistance 3. Temperature and Pollution Level 53

Marine pollution causes dry band arcing and sheath failure. And to avoid it the electric field gradient and the buildup of the contaminants should be under control. Due to this maximum permissible voltage for optical phase wire is 132KV. However, ADSS cables are now known to be successfully installed at 400kV Towers 56
CORONA EFFECT corona discharge occur due to High electric field, which can cause puncture and failure of cable jackets. We provide Corona Rings for protection of the cable. 57

Q: Which should we use - OPGW or ADSS or Sky Wrap? Ans: The answer depends on many factors. When we are building a new transmission line and shield wires must be installed. In that scenario, the incremental cost of installing optical ground wire versus standard shield wire is minimal while the benefits of a fiber optic network for internal communications, grid management, etc. are profound. Similarly, on an existing transmission line, if the shield wire is aged and needs to be replaced, that is the perfect opportunity to install optical ground wire. ADSS is ideal for installation in distribution as well as transmission environments, specially when live-line installations are required. Sky Wrap is helically applied on ground wires or phase conductors, and it is the ideal solution when access to overhead lines is problematic due to rugged terrain or outage limitations. 61
For EHV transmission line, OPGW Which can now be installed live is considered a better retrofit solution to ADSS. OPGW unlike ADSS is not susceptible to damage on account of electrical field. This has the Added advantage of re-strengthening weakened earth wire. OPGW Lash or Wrap 62
