  • Abstract
    Electric utilities have experienced failure of all-dielectric self-supporting optical fiber cable in the high electric field environment of power transmission lines. Corona and/or arcing can degrade the cable jacket and cause it to fail. The paper describes a laboratory experiment to property simulate the arcing phenomenon so that it can be better understood
