  • Abstract
    Material shortages during World War II imposed limitations on the construction of new transmission facilities and the Bonneville Power Administration conducted tests to determine minimum construction standards. Conductor diameter and spacing and insulation level involving losses, flashovers, safety to personnel working on energized lines, economic loading, and radio interference had to be considered.
