Abstract :
This paper discusses an overhead conductor design that has been proven effective in reducing wind induced problems that plague transmission and distribution lines. The twisted pair, or ACSR/T-2(R) product was conceived over 25 years ago as a means to fight against aeolian vibration and galloping. The purpose of this presentation is to raise the awareness of the product and its potential application within utility systems
