VECTOR METHOD SOLVING OF MECHANICS OF OVERHEAD LINES

Abstract

Presented method solving of mechanic of overhead lines is the most universal method.
Thanks to this method can be presented position of conductor in three-dimensional space in nonlevel span. Might be investigate the effect of combined overloading caused by ice and wind of optional direction. Using vector method have been presented formulas for equation of state, position of conductor and tension force. In the article were presented results of the utilisation of vector method to calculate mechanical parameters like mechanical stress, overloading and position of conductor in the coordinate system x, y, z. Vector method should be used to solution of overhead line conductor, because actual methods is not sufficient for all cases, for example for sloping spans or large length of spans.
