Study on Mechanical Properties of Single-Mode Fiber in OPLC under Different Aging Conditions
when the cable is subjected to strong impulse current
it will work in the temperature field higher than 10% of the conductor’s maximum operating temperature. The long-term high-temperature aging condition has a great negative effect on the optical fiber in the optical unit of Optical Fiber Composite Low-Voltage Cable(OPLC)
which seriously affects the safe operation of the entire power grid. Aiming at the above problems
in order to study the mechanical properties of single-mode fiber before and after heating
the damage degree of high temperature aging to optical fiber is analyzed. In this paper
the mechanical properties of single-mode fiber
such as breaking strength
elongation at break and stripping force of coatings
are tested at different temperatures and aging periods by emulating the temperature field of OPLC conductors 10% higher than that of polyvinyl chloride insulated conductors. Based on the test data
the change trend of mechanical properties of optical fiber before and after aging under this temperature field is studied by using the statistical method of linear fitting. The results show that the stress corrosion sensitivity parameters of optical fiber in OPLC are more sensitive to heat than the coating peeling force characteristics. With the increase of aging time
the difference between the coating stripping force and the stress corrosion sensitivity parameters is larger and the heat resistance is worse. Based on the test results of mechanical properties
the suggestion of adding heat-resistant layer of optical unit is proposed in this paper.
