Use of high temperature conductors in new overhead lines
This brochure covers the application of high temperature conductors (including high temperature low sag) for new lines. Electrical and mechanical analysis is covered with actual examples of audible noise, losses, and EMF being given. A detailed economic analysis of the use of HTC on new lines compared to conventional conductors is provided as well as the use of the indicator method described in TB 638. The brochure concludes with actual case studies of application of HTC on new lines.
