OPGW(Optical Ground Wire) whose demand is increasing worldwide have composite function as optical communication and grounding for preventing transmission line from lightning. While continuous efforts have been made to increase the transmission capacity and speed, the working method to replace the existing ground wire with OPGW under live-line condition is coming to force newly as installation aspects. Particularly, this requirement became more serious in developing country that the electric power supply is not sufficient and power outage is impossible for supply and dead of electric power LS cable Ltd. has developed the new installation method in full live-line condition to solve the confronted problem and to meet the market demand. In this paper, Electric Problems in live-line installation is considered to predict dry-band arcing. This can be used by Makers to predict dry-band arcing in insulating ropes installed on earth wire of power transmission system.

This paper describes the characteristics analysis of power-optical fiber composite cable on underground transmission lines. The effects on grounding, air gap and contact resistance are variously analysed using EMTP in normal operating condition. From these results, in this paper, the scheme for protecting the electrically abnormal phenomena will be established on power-optical fiber composite cable of underground transmission lines.

The optical submarine cable has a long distance cable and the repeater for optical amplification compared to territorial optical cable so conventional OTDR utilization for the optical submarine cable is limited. in case the optical core in the optical submarine cable system cut, by using Coherent OTDR that utilize OTDR path in repeater the cable fault point can be detected and in case the faulty of the copper tube in the cable that provide power for the repeater to amplify optical signal, the ways using the current/voltage characteristic, the capacitance per Km and so on is required. this report suggest efficient fault location detecting mechanism by categorized cable fault type.

Presently, it is now developing the optical remote gas sensor system which can measure combustible gases such as $CH_4$ and $C_2H_2$ generating by partial discharges inside the cable and connection parts to detect thermal deterioration of Oil-Filled (OF) power cable at the appropriate time. It is the most important parameter to select central wavelength of laser diode (LD) by analyzing the absorption bend of measuring gases in the infrared region. In this research, we proposed the optical spectrum analyzer to absorption band of $CH_4$ and $C_2H_2$ for the preliminary research of optical fiber gas detecting system.

In the electric power industry, it is important that the supply of energy must be guaranteed. Many power utilities control and supervise the transmission line to avoid power failures. In case of underground tunnel, some troubles are reported in cable joint. To stabilize the power, it is needed to monitor the cable joint. Many researches of cable joint monitoring have been going on by partial discharge measurement and temperature measurement using optical cable. These methods need much cost to install and maintain, so it is only used in critical transmission line. In this research, we use wireless sensor technology, because of its low cost and easy installation. We develop the temperature monitoring system for cable joint. Temperature sensor is installed on the surface of cable joint and sends data to server through router node using wireless network. Generally Ad hoc routing is searched in wireless network. However, in this research, we design the static linear routing mechanism, which is suitable for electric power line monitoring and analyze the life time of the sensor node by measuring the amount of the battery consumption.

Fiber optics provide a solution to the problems at interference, capacity and reliability in communication. Approximately 20 kilometera of a six-fiber, multimode, longwave($1.3{\mu}m$), graded index silica glass fiber optic cable was helically wrapped around a phase conductor at a Korea Electric Power Corporation(KEPCO) 154KV transmission line. This paper presents an economic comparison of several fiber optic cable installation alternative and discusses the characteristics at the helically wrapped fiber cable, as well as the entire installation, including high voltage phase-to-ground (PTG) end termination, and splicing. The fiber link was installed for the field trial and practical use with overhead composite optical fiber cable which installation performed a few years earlier some other location and is intended to accommodate not only telephone but also supervisory Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA), protective relaying, and telemetry functions.

For improving the power supply reliability and minimizing maintenance work of E.H.V. underground transmission line, new surveillance systems are strongly desired for use in the field of electric power transmission. For underground installation, high system reliability is required because E.H.V. cables, if an accident happen, can have a serious impact on social activities and human life. In answer to this requirement, applications of optical fiber transmission system have been widely developed in a variety of field. The main function of this system are cable fault location, oil leak detection, and surveillance of the cable circuit and tunnel condition.

The repeaterless system can be designed by applying EDFA technology in receiver, transmitter and optical cable in the case of connecting several hundred km from coast to coast, between continents or islands. Because of no repeater the repeaterless system do not need power system to feed laser diode in repeater for signal amplification and cooper tuber in submarine cable. So we can be configured more reliable and economical compared to repeater system. But lower loss optical fiber must be used to get enough signal amplitude without the amplification of repeater. This report consider long distance optical repeaterless system by reflecting the limitation factor of optical amplification.

In this paper the measurement method of cable's curvature using fiber optic microbend effect and its experimental results are presented. The novel structure of fiber optic microbender, which can generate microbend effect on the optical fiber in the case of both directional bending of cable, was designed. Through the experiment using suggested sensing system, the increasing trend of attenuated optical power was found out under the range from $0.1\;cm^{-1}$ to $0.4\;cm^{-1}$ of curvature. To the multi and distributed measurement, using OTDR, the scattered optical pulses at the bending points are measured and compared with the result which was measured by optical power meter.

A switch is a component with two or more ports that selectively transmits, redirects, or blocks optical power in a fiber transmission line. Our switch uses rotation mechanism using stepping motor, hence the common optical fiber can scan and allign to one of the arrayed N optical fibers to provide optical path by electronic precise control. The developed switch is consisted of switching module and its control module. The performance parameters of a switching loss and a repeatability are considered very important. We performed the study to reduce the switching loss and improve the repeatability of switch. The switch can be widely used as a test instrument of optical device and of optical cable in factory, also of optical cable monitoring systems.
