The third edition of the book includes a new section on dynamic line ratings, a detailed outline of the Alcoa Graphic Method, and recent test data from Southwire’s D.B. Cofer Technology Center.

A transmission line is made of a symmetrical pair of strip conductors, or a single strip and a ground plane, on opposite faces of a sheet of dielectric material. There is computed, to a close ...

The tensile strength of an overhead transmission line's conductor in response to a growing load is assessed in this paper. It is the authors' view that, the percentage reduction in the conductor's ...

A number of cloud-based data storage companies are finding their new home in the Phoenix region. As a result, the Arizona Public Service (APS) transmission line system has recently seen significant ...

Nalcor Energy confirmed Friday that it is investigating a "technical issue" with the transmission line conductor wire between Muskrat Falls and southern Labrador, suspending work until more is ...

Transmission line structures, though designed per code provisions, have suffered several failures worldwide in the past. As reported in the body of the available literature, more than 80% of those ...
