Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to describe a method of calculating transmission conductor ratings. These ratings are limited by the amount of annealing which can be tolerated during the life of the conductor. The method includes an approach to weather-data analysis, use of a digital computer for bulk calculations, and a graphical method of calculating annealing. The resulting ratings can be used with confidence, since they reflect both local weather experience and operating practices.
