Summary

The study is to define clearances between live conductors and earthed structures under the action of wind. This case is particularly significant for suspension towers equipped with I-type suspension insulator sets. In addition to insulator swing the following requirements may also affect the tower top geometry : Clearances between conductors in mid-span; Provisions for conductor galloping and Distances for live line maintenance.
