Transmission Line , OPGW Stringing

AI Thread Summary
Experience with paying out Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) conductors highlights the importance of proper procedures to prevent damage during the stringing process. The ACSR Drake conductors are specified for use prior to OPGW installation. Delays in tower foundation due to landowner issues have complicated the stringing schedule, necessitating the need to leave sections of OPGW for later installation. Ensuring that existing conductors do not interfere with the OPGW during this phase is crucial. Effective planning and adherence to guidelines can mitigate potential damage during the process.

Hi, any of you guys have experience paying out conductors leaving the OPGW later on? any idea or procedures needed so that during OPGW paying out stage later on it will not be damaged by the existing conductors.

What are the conductors that are to be strung prior to the stringing of the OPGW supposed to be conducting?
 
it will be the ACSR Drake sir. we have some problems with the land owners which made some tower foundation be delayed so we cannot erect the tower, now we tried to start stringing for certain section only but the OPGW section lengths are pre-designated that's why we have to leave em later on to be payed.
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
