Abstract
This document is discussing the
consequences for the transmission line
routing and design due to icing on
conductor and towers. Further the effect on
towers due to snow creep, avalanches and
snow heaping is discussed and precautions
recommended. Maintenance technique during
icing periods is given attention.
The document gives further an analysis of
cost consequenses for the transmission line
as a function of the design ice loading.
The cost is approximately doubled when the
iceload increases from 40 to 120 Newtons
per metre.
