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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
