The new type of conductor reduced the drag coefficient (15%) and wind noise (10dBA) was developed. The authors carried out the water flow tunnel test, wind tunnel test and full-scale field test for confirming the reducing mechanism of drag coefficient and evaluating the reduction value of drag coefficient. This paper reports these test results and some evaluations. Keywords: overhead transmission line, low wind pressure type conductor, wind tunnel test, water flow tunnel test, field test, drag coefficient
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.
