Abstract :
Techniques which had been employed for melting ice from medium - voltage power transmission lines have been deemed inapplicable to the bundled conductor lines of extra-high-voltage (EHV) systems. Other strategic approaches are being devised and applied instead. The present paper is an exploration of an alternative conductor - loading method which, if successful, should permit EHV lines to ride through ice storms without interruption of service.
