Abstract: Through research of optical phase conductor (OPPC) technology and its engineering applications, this paper systematically analyzes the key technologies and major applications of OPPCs, including temperature and stress monitoring. The difficulties of OPPC engineering in construction and maintenance are analyzed, and the project cost between OPPCs and optical fiber composite overhead ground wires (OPGW) or all dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cables is compared. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of OPPCs are studied in detail, and some suggestions are proposed on OPPC’s further development and engineering applications.

Key words: optical phase conductor (OPPC), temperature monitoring, stress monitoring
