Abstract
Ice shedding on conductors of transmission lines can induce severe vertical vibrations and abrupt tension changes, potentially causing structural damage and power outages. Prior experiments and numerical simulations assumed that ice sheds instantaneously from transmission lines, neglecting the practical delays in the ice shedding process, which resulted in unrealistic conductor dynamic responses. This study introduces a reduced-scale modeling system designed to simulate delayed ice shedding on conductors. The jump height and dynamic tension of an isolated-span transmission line following delayed ice shedding are analyzed, and various factors such as the two-dimensional delay duration, shedding sequence, and weight of ice accretion are examined through reduced-scale model tests. Based on the experimental data, simplified formulas are proposed to calculate the conductor's jump height and maximum tension after ice shedding by taking the time delay of the shedding process into account.
