Objective: Patented and experimentally fulfilled development of supported electric cables and wires’ successful protection from snow build-up, ice covering and possible breakages, caused by strong rushes of wind, was suggested for pilot installing in operation. It is known that, on average, the financial losses of our country from wire breakages amount to about 1 billion rubles. Nevertheless, some districts are left without heat and light, which demands the start of emergency electric power sources and sending the repair squads for power lines’ breakage elimination. Methods: Experimental tests were conducted under conditions close to natural, that is, in winter time and open air. Results: Original and simple implementation solutions of effective damping of possible wire oscillations corroborated the impossibility of resonant swinging of wires formation, which considerably increases the reliability of line functioning. Practical importance: Positive results, indicating a complex fulfillment of the set objective on wires’ protection were obtained, which demonstrate commercial efficiency of the study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
