Point-to-Point (building to building) Fiber Communications Application
High Voltage Isolation
A high voltage environment is an area that is susceptible
to a Ground Potential Rise (GPR) event. In some cases
a voltage potential between the ground grid and
remote earth can exceed 100kV. Common locations
with GPR occurrences are power generating facilities,
power substations, and towers for high voltage
transmission lines. In all cases where copper
telecommunication lines (remote grounds) are allowed
into high voltage environments catastrophic failures can
occur due to GPR, endangering facility personnel and
equipment.
The Fiber Optic Link isolates telecommunication lines by replacing the copper telephone cable with an all-dielectric fiber optic cable
inside the high voltage area. The Fiber Optic Link can completely eliminate the presence of the telephone line remote ground in
order to insure the safety of personnel and greatly improve equipment reliability.
Common High Voltage Isolation Applications Include:
Power generating plants
Power substations
Power switchyards
Cell sites on power towers
Co-generation sites
