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 ...

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 ...
