  • Abstract
    The authors have carried out tests on a 5-span section of 132-kV line to determine the jump height of the conductors after the release of simulated ice loads. They found that ice loads in excess of 1 lb/ft were sufficient to reduce the ground clearance of the lowest conductor below a safe level.
