[0001] The present disclosure relates to a field of cable installation. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method for installation of conductor wire between power transmission towers.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Over the years, power transmission towers have been widely used for transmission of electrical energy across long distances. In general, a power transmission tower is a structure used in transmission and distribution of electric power to transmit electrical energy along large distances. In addition, the power transmission towers are connected by a ground wire installed at top of the power transmission towers. Further, a ground wire is a cable usually made up of steel and it acts as a conductor supported at top of the power transmission tower. The purpose of installation of the ground wire is to shield power line and intercept lighting strokes before they hit the current carrying conductors below the ground wire. Further, the ground wire provides safety to the power transmission tower by allowing current to flow through the ground wire to discharge charges into ground during abnormal operations. Nowadays, the ground wire is being replaced with an optical fiber ground wire. The optical fiber ground wire is a type of cable that is used in the power transmission tower to combine functions of both grounding and communications. Moreover, the optical fiber ground wire allows long distance transmission at higher speeds as compared to the ground wire.
[0003] Currently, the optical fiber ground wire is installed through cardel block and winch machine between the power transmission towers. Also, different tensioner and puller methods are utilized to install optical fiber ground wire between the power transmission towers. However, the existing methods for the installation of the optical fiber ground wire are very risky. In addition, the risks include burns and wear and tear of equipment and the ground wire, cutting and snapping of the existing ground wire due to old and bad conditions and the like. Also, the power transmission lines of the power transmission tower needs to be shut down in case of unavailability of the ground wire or badly damaged ground wire. However, shutting down of the power transmission lines of the power transmission tower is not always feasible because of unavailability of backup power in cities and industrial areas.
[0004] In light of the above stated discussion, there is a constant need to provide a safer method for installation of optical fiber ground wire that overcomes the above stated disadvantages.
