In spite of 60 years of research, the determination of the lifetime of conductors has so far not been possible because the theory of conductor vibration is much too complex and has not yet led to any practical application. However by applying the experience gained by todays materials research techniques, particularly in the field of aircraft and motor-car design, it is now possible to determine the lifetime of conductors. These new developments were taken up by the Cigre Study Committee No. 22 (Transmission Lines ), Working Group 04 (Endurance Capability of Conductors) and applied to transmission line conductors. This method is characterized by the measurement of the stress amplitudes at such places of the conductor which are most susceptible to damage as well as by the measurement of the respective number of vibrations. Suitable, modern and cost-effective measuring devices (recorders) are becoming available to the power-supply companies for this purpose. With the help of the accumulative stress/cycle diagram obtained with these measuring instruments, it is now possible to determine the lifetime of transmission line conductors.
