Algorithm to predict dry-band arcing in fiber-optic cables.

Utilities frequently use ADSS (all dielectric self-supporting) fiber-optic cables installed on transmission lines 3-6 m below the high voltage conductors. Dry-band arcing occurs on the fiber-optic cables when the cables are polluted and wet. This has been assumed to cause cable failures. An equivale...
