- 2 December 2022, which caused damage to two OPGW top plates on two A3 towers. During this event, - 3 the top plate connections failed and caused deformation and damage to the top plate and the hanger - 4 bracket on two A3 towers. While t...

AI summary An icing event on 2 December 2022 caused damage to OPGW top plates on two A3 towers due to a design error in the connection capacity of the top plate and hanger bracket. The ice load was below the design specifications, but the failure occurred because the connection was insufficient for the vertical design load. Reinforcement work on 61 critical A3 towers was completed in 2024.

measurement unit provides a temperature profile along the length of the submarine cables. Some systems allow matching the profile into a map of the cable route for easier identification of hot-spots. For a submarine power cable equipped wi...

AI summary Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems monitor submarine power cable temperatures to detect thermal anomalies caused by environmental changes. However, supplier terminology inconsistencies complicate system comparisons, and technical limitations like 30 km maximum monitoring length and fiber connection requirements pose challenges for implementation.

3.1.2.2 Dielectric Losses The cable insulation is a dielectric material and can be modeled as combination of a capacitance and a resistance in parallel between the conductor and the grounded screen. Applying a voltage to the conductor resu...

AI summary This section explains dielectric losses in cable insulation, modeling it as a parallel combination of capacitance and resistance. The loss angle tan δ is defined as the ratio of resistive to capacitive current, and formulas are provided for calculating capacitance and dielectric losses.

9.1.3 Mass-Impregnated Cables and XLPE Cables Mass-impregnated and extruded cables, also called solid cables (cf. Chap. 2), are maintenance-free. This is also valid for the submarine joints belonging to these cable types. Cables with solid...

AI summary Mass-impregnated and XLPE cables are maintenance-free, with solid insulation eliminating the need for pressurization. Pressure and oil level monitoring via SCADA systems is critical to prevent tripping. XLPE cables in GIS substations require similar oil monitoring as land cables, though some terminations use small amounts of insulation oil.
