Abstract: This paper estimates the wind-resistance of a lightning-damaged transmission tower. The buckling cause of a tower member under lightning excitation is reexamined through an overall tower model, and the modelling method of ...

Abstract: Insulator fatigue, lighting strike, or flashover could result in the breakage of insulator strings. Insulator breakage can cause conductor impingement on the ground, which is a threat to the safe operation of a transmission ...

Abstract: During service, transmission lines (TLs) will be subjected to unbalanced longitudinal loads due to events such as conductor breakage, insulator failure, and sudden ice shedding, which may damage TLs and subsequently hinder ...
