Abstract:
A method of suppressing galloping of a multiconductor transmission line, comprising the steps of:connecting a top left conductor positioned at the left side in a top phase transmission line and a bottom right conductor positioned at the right side in a bottom phase transmission line by a first interphase spacer made of an insulator; andconnecting a top right conductor positioned at the right side in the top phase transmission line and a bottom left conductor positioned at the left side in the bottom phase transmission line by a second interphase spacer made of an insulator,wherein said steps of connecting includes the steps of connecting said top left conductor and said top right conductor which both extend along a first horizontal level to form said top phase transmission line, and connecting said bottom left conductor and said bottom right conductor which both extend along a second horizontal level to form said bottom phase transmission line, said first and second interphase spacers being separate from each other;naturally rotating in a first direction said top left conductor when ice forms thereon, while naturally rotating in a second direction said bottom right conductor when ice forms thereon and when wind strikes said multiconductor transmission line, said first direction being opposite from said second direction;naturally rotating in said first direction said bottom left conductor when ice forms thereon, while naturally rotating in said second direction said top right conductor when ice forms thereon and when wind strikes said multiconductor transmission line; andthereafter suppressing galloping of said multiconductor transmission line.
