Abstract
Experiments on wet dense snow adhesion to conductors
were made indoors under simulated outdoor
conditions in order to survey the growth of snow
microscopically. Also, snow adhesion to the conductors
in the field was observed and compared with
the finding from indoor experiments. As a result,
a new method of preventing wet snow damage to transmission
lines has been developed. This snow-resistant
conductor is composed of a series of circlips
disposed around the conductor, and some anti-torsional
dampers.
