Introduction (I)Introduction (I)Aeolian vibrations

Small vibration amplitudes exceeding rarely the conductor diameter frequency range 3 to 150 Hz winds 1 to 7 ms

May lead to fatigue failure of conductor strands at suspension clamps

Such failures are caused by dynamic stresses resulting from reverse bendingfrom reverse bendingOther wind-induced conductor motions such as wake-induced oscillations and galloping may also be responsible

Conductor and Clamp Types Lacking Fatigue Data

The extrapolation of fatigue data available to other types of conductors or to different types of support is not recommended

Conductor and Clamp Types Lacking Fatigue Data

conductors or to different types of support is not recommended

Bending amplitude method is valid only for armored or unarmored conductors fitted with solid metal-to-metal clamps

Not valid for cushioned clamps (armored or unarmored)

Little test data for conductors except ACSR and aluminum alloys

Some data for ACSR conductors with armor rods

There is a need for more published data on conductor fatigue

Many utilities have their own design rules (for number of dampers) based on past experiencedampers) based on past experienceVibration severity can also be measured on existing linesA useful analytical approach is the Energy Balance Principle (EBP)Principle (EBP)The EBP leads to an estimate of conductor vibration amplitude based on equating the energy input from the wind with the energy absorption (damping) of thewind with the energy absorption (damping) of the conductor and dampersThe EBP can also be used for the direct design of the damping system for a new linedamping system for a new lineThe estimate of the expected vibratory motion from EBP is considered an upper bound and is therefore a safe value

Many utilities have their own design rules (for number of dampers) based on past experiencedampers) based on past experienceVibration severity can also be measured on existing linesA useful analytical approach is the Energy Balance Principle (EBP)Principle (EBP)The EBP leads to an estimate of conductor vibration amplitude based on equating the energy input from the wind with the energy absorption (damping) of thewind with the energy absorption (damping) of the conductor and dampersThe EBP can also be used for the direct design of the damping system for a new linedamping system for a new lineThe estimate of the expected vibratory motion from EBP is considered an upper bound and is therefore a safe value

Many utilities have their own design rules (for number of dampers) based on past experiencedampers) based on past experienceVibration severity can also be measured on existing linesA useful analytical approach is the Energy Balance Principle (EBP)Principle (EBP)The EBP leads to an estimate of conductor vibration amplitude based on equating the energy input from the wind with the energy absorption (damping) of thewind with the energy absorption (damping) of the conductor and dampersThe EBP can also be used for the direct design of the damping system for a new linedamping system for a new lineThe estimate of the expected vibratory motion from EBP is considered an upper bound and is therefore a safe value

Conductor and Clamp Types Lacking Fatigue Data

The extrapolation of fatigue data available to other types of conductors or to different types of support is not recommended

Conductor and Clamp Types Lacking Fatigue Data

conductors or to different types of support is not recommended

Bending amplitude method is valid only for armored or unarmored conductors fitted with solid metal-to-metal clamps

Not valid for cushioned clamps (armored or unarmored)

Little test data for conductors except ACSR and aluminum alloys

Some data for ACSR conductors with armor rods

There is a need for more published data on conductor fatigue

Conductor and Clamp Types Lacking Fatigue Data

conductors or to different types of support is not recommended

Bending amplitude method is valid only for armored or unarmored conductors fitted with solid metal-to-metal clamps

Not valid for cushioned clamps (armored or unarmored)

Analytical Representation of the Fatigue Phenomenon (III)

Fatigue of conductors is due to microslip movements of wires inducing fretting fatigue

a yt ca ep ese tat o o t e at gue e o e o ( )

fretting fatigueThe phenomenon is complex and its exact modelling has yet to be completed

Contact areas between round strandsContact areas between round strands are ellipticalFretting and microslip occur in these contact areasFatigue cracks develop out of these contact areasThe knowledge on fatigue performance of conductors mostly relies on results of laboratory tests made on conductors in fixed short metallic clampsshort metallic clamps

It is not possible at the moment to determine the fatigue endurance of a conductor alone

There is a wide diversity of design and geometry of conductors

Conductor and Clamp Types Lacking Fatigue Data

The extrapolation of fatigue data available to other types of conductors or to different types of support is not recommended

Conductor and Clamp Types Lacking Fatigue Data

conductors or to different types of support is not recommended

Bending amplitude method is valid only for armored or unarmored conductors fitted with solid metal-to-metal clamps

Not valid for cushioned clamps (armored or unarmored)

Little test data for conductors except ACSR and aluminum alloys

Some data for ACSR conductors with armor rods

There is a need for more published data on conductor fatigue
