Abstract :
Experience and previous laboratory investigations have indicated the existence of wind-shielding effects in groups of parallel conductors of distribution lines, in which the leeward conductors are shielded by the windward conductors. This article reports the results of wind-tunnel tests to determine the magnitude of the factors controlling the wind-loading on groups of parallel conductors.
