Abstract
During ice storms, transmission line systems can be extensively damage d due to galloping conductors. The design of support structures and co mponents requires a means to determine the dynamic forces during gallo ping. This paper presents a procedure for determining the forces on in sulators and crossarms due to the large amplitude vibration of ice-loa ded conductors. Wind tunnel experiments were conducted to verify the d esign procedure and to increase understanding of the galloping phenome non.
