IEEE Draft Standard for Testing and Performance for Optical Phase Conductor (OPPC) for Use on Electrical Utility Power Lines

The performance, test requirements, procedures, and acceptance criteria for an OPPC are covered in this standard. Optical phase conductor (OPPC) is a phase conductor with optical fibers for telecommunication purposes. Functional requirements, such as electrical, mechanical, optical fiber, environmental, and packaging, and test requirements related to design, installation, in-service, and maintenance, including routine tests, are also covered.
