Abstract :
Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) transmission lines with excessive unknown cause outages were investigated and determined to have experienced bird streamer flashovers. Findings are extended to similar lines and the frequency of bird streamer occurrences are estimated. Outage patterns associated with bird streamer flashovers are presented
