Ice Accretion Cause and Mechanism of Glaze on Wires of Power Transmission Lines

Abstract:

The cause of ice accretion of transmission line and ice accretion mechanism are both summarized systematically. The mechanism of ice coating of wire caused by thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and the current electric field coupling is pointed out. In connection with the process of glaze ice, the existing models at home and abroad for the prediction of height and thickness of ice coating are summarized and analyzed, it can give some advises on further study of ice accretion prediction and some lights on ice disaster and anti-icing design for power transmission lines.
