Where is the optical cable spliced inside the transformer substation
The fiber coming in from outside and the one coming in from the relay gets spliced inside a fiber distribution panel. See video below on how fiber gets spliced. The one shown in the GIF image comes with up to 144 count fiber. From relaying standpoint only 2 fibers are needed (1-TX, 1-RX) for each relay. An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more optical fiber in it, surrounded by layers of steel and and aluminium wires. The conductive part of the cable serves to bond adjacent towers to earth ground, and shields the h. CT and PT wiring in a conventional substation using copper wires. A digital substation using fiber-optic cables for communication digitizes data related to the.
