Abstract :
This paper is a review of work and testing done in the development of a new design of bare overhead conductor to prevent or reduce galloping and aeolian vibration. The new conductor is a departure from the existing design of conductor used for prevention of galloping and aeolian vibration in that the new conductor is comprised of a single conductor not two as in the existing design
