Transmission lines are designed to transmit electrical power over extended distances by suspending conductors between towers or poles. Wind-induced swinging motion occurs when the conductors are subjected to wind forces. However, alongside swaying, transmission lines also encounter vibrations. Uncontrolled vibrations can lead to conductor failure from supports and clamps.
The vibrations in transmission lines can be reduced by vibration dampers. These devices absorb the vibrational energy of the conductor and prevent vibrations. Vibration damper is an efficient method to dampen vibrations. It can be installed on a live line conductor. The dampers are usually placed at regular intervals along the transmission line, and the spacing is determined by the conductor’s diameter and wind speed in the area.
Vibration dampers reduce vibrations in overhead transmission lines. This is crucial in areas with high wind speeds, ice loading, or other environmental factors causing line vibrations.
Attaching vibration damper to the line conductor is a reliable and cost-effective solution to reduce vibrations in overhead transmission lines, and it is widely used in transmission line installations across the world.
