Application of Insulated Transmission Cross-Arms: Case Study from Brazil
A primary driver of transmission line cost is acquisition and management of Right-of-Way, especially in densely populated or environmentally sensitive areas. Traditional structures based on steel cross-arms with suspension strings require relatively wide lateral spans due to conductor swing. Read More >
Dealing with Variable Atmospheric Discharge Density to Protect Transmission Lines
Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula experiences a relatively high incidence of atmospheric discharges that are not only seasonal but also vary significantly from one year to the next. Planning for such variability dominates design and maintenance policies for regional transmission lines as well as grounding systems. Read More >
