Research abstract
TRANSMISSION LINE DESIGN IS OFTEN GOVERNED BY THE NEED TO RESIST THE HIGH LONGITUDINAL LOADS IMPOSED BY A LINE BREAK. THIS RARE EVENT REQUIRES TOWERS MUCH STRONGER (AND MORE COSTLY) THAN NEEDED FOR NORMAL SERVICE. FURTHER, FAILURE TO RESIST A LINE BREAK CAN LEAD TO EXTREMELY COSTLY "ZIPPER" TYPE MULTI-TOWER FAILURES. THIS PROJECT WILL PRODUCE A FEASIBILITY DESIGN WITH BACKUP SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF A NONLINEAR BREAK-AWAY DEVICE TO BE ATTACHED BETWEEN TOWER AND CONDUCTOR SO AS TO ALLOW GIVE AND LOAD REDISTRIBUTION, WITHOUT FAILURE, IN THE EVENT OF A LINE BREAK. THE FEW SUPPORTS AFFECTED WOULD THEN BE EASILY REPAIRED. CONSIDERABLE COST SAVINGS WOULD RESULT IN NEW CONSTRUCTION
