Problem Statement:
Line-to-ground clearance dictates line loading levels in
many key situations. Excessive sag from high conductor temperature
operations, caused by ambient conditions and line loading,
is often the limiting condition. Previously, expensive line
reconstruction or reconductoring were the only true solution
to this problem.
Solution:
Successful field demonstrations of the Sagging Line Mitigator
(SLiM) will give utilities vital information on installing,
operating, and maintaining these devices to significantly
increase power transmission capacity.
