HIGHER PHASE ORDER TRANSMISSION LINE RESEARCH
(1981)Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy has sponsored
a project to construct six and twelve-phase transmission
line sections and to develop experimental
and analytical data for application of high phase
order transmission. Several support insulator and
midspan insulator spacer alternatives were developed.
Three different support structure designs
were erected. Electrical and mechanical testing
were performed and the phenomena analytically modelled.
A transient network analyzer switching
surge study was conducted to provide line design
data and data for definition of insulation test
conditions. The results of these studies have
provided an important step toward the first high
phase order transmission line on a utility system.
