Engineer Overhead Lines to Withstand Ice, Wind and FreezingRain

This White Paper explains how ice, wind and vegetation load overhead distribution lines at the same time. It shows engineers how to assess the complete line and compare resilience options.What you will learn about:How freezing rain, rime ice and wet snow add weight to conductors and change their shape in the wind.Why a moderate wind on a heavily iced line can govern design, and how galloping and vegetation contact create outages.How a messenger-supported spacer cable separates the electrical fun
