Optical fibre cables - Part 4-10: Family specification - Optical ground wires (OPGW) along electrical power lines

IEC 60794-4-10:2014 which is a family specification, covers cable construction, test methods and optical, mechanical, environmental and electrical performance requirements for OPGW (optical ground wire) which is used for the protection of electrical power lines against atmospheric discharges or short-circuits and, at the same time, as a high bandwidth transport media for communications-and-control optical signals. The corresponding environmental declaration may be built according to IEC TR 62839-1. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - galloping test (9.7) has been added to the type tests list; - update of definitions clause; - maximum installation tension (MIT) defined and used in the sheave test description; - definition of characterization of OPGW's mechanical behaviour in order to provide information useful for electrical power transmission lines designers; - improved definition of lightning test parameters and conditions to improve reproducibility among different laboratories. Keywords: OPGW (optical ground wire), protection of electrical power lines, atmospheric discharges

Câbles à fibres optiques - Partie 4-10: Spécification de famille - Câbles de garde à fibres optiques (OPGW – Optical Ground Wires) le long des lignes électriques de puissance

IEC 60794-4-10: 2014 qui est une spécification de famille, couvre la construction des câbles, les méthodes d'essai et les exigences de performances optiques, mécaniques, d'environnement et électriques pour des câbles de garde à fibres optiques (OPGW), utilisés pour la protection des lignes électriques de puissance contre les décharges atmosphériques ou les courts-circuits, mais aussi comme support de transport à très large bande pour les signaux optiques de communication et de contrôle. La déclaration environnementale correspondante peut être établie conformément à l'IEC TR 62839-1. Un câble de garde à fibres optiques peut remplacer un câble de protection et de mise à la terre traditionnel contenant des fibres optiques destinées au contrôle et/ou aux communications. Habituellement, les fibres sont intégrées de manière lâche dans des tubes de protection. Pour satisfaire aux exigences mécaniques et électriques, une armure constituée d'une ou plusieurs couches avec de l'aluminium, un alliage d'aluminium, de l'acier plaqué aluminium, de l'acier galvanisé ou un mélange de ceux-ci est toronnée de manière hélicoïdale. Si la construction contient un tube d'aluminium ou un jonc rainuré en aluminium, cette section est considérée comme une partie conductrice. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2006 dont elle constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) l'essai de galop (9.7) a été ajouté à la liste des essais de type; b) l'article sur les définitions a été mis à jour; la tension d'installation maximale (MIT) définie et utilisée dans la description de l'essai de passage sur poulies; c) définition de la caractérisation du comportement mécanique des câbles de garde à fibres optiques pour fournir des informations utiles aux concepteurs de lignes de transmission de puissance électrique; d) amélioration de la définition des paramètres et des conditions des essais de choc de foudre pour améliorer la reproductibilité entre différents laboratoires. Mots clés : câbles de garde à fibres optiques (OPGW), protection des lignes électriques de puissance, décharges atmosphériques
