Installation Compatibility of an Intelligent Overhead-Line Sensor Platform: Phase-Conductor Electrostatic Analysis and OPGW Vibration Testing

Overhead-line sensor platforms must satisfy electrical and mechanical installation constraints that vary with the operating scenario. This study evaluates separate phase-conductor electrostatic and 9 mm optical ground wire (OPGW) vibration-test scenarios for the same platform. A full Maxwell potential-coefficient matrix provides an analytical reference for a 500 kV line-to-line RMS four-bundle conductor. A three-dimensional COMSOL Multiphysics 6.3 model compares the prototype enclosure scale and fastening-hole configurations. The matrix gives a maximum bare-conductor surface field of 14.33 kV/cm RMS. The phase-RMS values for the hole-free, single-hole, and double-hole cases are 8.05, 12.27, and 12.91 kV/cm RMS, respectively. These values quantify local field enhancement at the hole edge and support geometry comparison. Under a 16.5 kN tensile load, 47.71 Hz vibration, ±2.4 mm cable amplitude, and 1 × 107 cycles, the OPGW test showed no visually detectable slippage or cable damage. The two scenarios provide electrical-geometry and mechanical-interface evidence under the specified analysis and test conditions.

Abstract

Overhead-line sensor platforms must satisfy electrical and mechanical installation constraints that vary with the operating scenario. This study evaluates separate phase-conductor electrostatic and 9 mm optical ground wire (OPGW) vibration-test scenarios for the same platform. A full Maxwell potential-coefficient matrix provides an analytical reference for a 500 kV line-to-line RMS four-bundle conductor. A three-dimensional COMSOL Multiphysics 6.3 model compares the prototype enclosure scale and fastening-hole configurations. The matrix gives a maximum bare-conductor surface field of 14.33 kV/cm RMS. The phase-RMS values for the hole-free, single-hole, and double-hole cases are 8.05, 12.27, and 12.91 kV/cm RMS, respectively. These values quantify local field enhancement at the hole edge and support geometry comparison. Under a 16.5 kN tensile load, 47.71 Hz vibration, ±2.4 mm cable amplitude, and 1 × 107 cycles, the OPGW test showed no visually detectable slippage or cable damage. The two scenarios provide electrical-geometry and mechanical-interface evidence under the specified analysis and test conditions.
