Introduction:
A DNO research and development collaboration hosted by EA Technology.
Objectives:
Overhead networks represent both an electrical and a mechanical system which must provide strength and support in the face of all foreseeable weather conditions. The module 2 programme looked at a number of issues with individual overhead components, either of the line or the structures supporting it, as well as the performance of the overall overhead line system, such as its current-carrying capacity.
