Overview
1. Basics of fiber optic and electrical
transmission lines
2. Different uses of fiber optic cable in the
transmission grid system
3. Employment options
4. Conclusion/summary
Combination of Two
Different Concepts
Fiber optic cables
1. Transmits light
(photons)
2. Primarily for
communications
Electric cables
1. Transmits
electricity
(electrons)
2. Primarily for
powering electrical
devices

Common Problems
Contamination fertilizer, pesticides, exhaust, emissions, salt
fog. Can only be solved on the design level, difficult because of high
voltage design requirements
Space Potential
Induced voltages can
be in the tens of kV
range.
Causes dry-band
voltages and currents.
Causes huge and
powerful electric
fields.

Employment Options
Phillips
Corning
Fiber Planners
The Furukawa Electric Co.
Most power utility companies (i.e. National
Grid, Alliant Energy, Duke Energy)
Conclusion/Summary
Many research possibilities.
Very interesting employment.
Good chance of becoming an expert.
High Voltage BE CAREFUL
