Measurement of Ice Accretion on Overhead Transmission Line Conductors,

Abstract

The information gathered on ice storms between 1975 and 1982 at Ontario Hydro's five tower load monitoring stations have been analyzed to study ice accretion on transmission line conductors and its consequences. The data show that the drag forces of lightly ice covered conductors are significantly higher than that of ice free conductors and confirm that conductor galloping occurs only under certain wind and icing conditions.
