A ground wire with optical fibers is disclosed. The ground wire includes twisted optical modules in the form of plastic tubes that accommodate freely placed optical fibers and water-blocking gel, wherein water-blocking tape applied to twisted optical modules, which are enclosed in a steel tube, coated with an aluminum sheath. The aluminum sheath is helically wrapped with lays of wire. The technical result is provided by increased air tightness of the optical core and permissible crushing stresses.

The present disclosure provides a method of protecting a component using a deliberately created impedance mismatch between conductive impedance transition elements and an electric power line. The method comprises coupling a plurality of conductive impedance transition elements having a greater diameter than the power line at a position between an extended length of the power line and the component. The difference between the diameters of the conductive transition elements and the power line causes an intentional impedance mismatch between the two or more impedance transition elements with adjacent portions of the power line, and the mismatch causes high-frequency components of the transient electromagnetic signals induced on the power line by the transient electrical disturbance to be reflected by at least one of two or more impedance transition elements away from the protected component.
