Abstract :
The reliability of the design of a transmission line conductor depends not only on the mathematical model but also on the accuracy of the materials data used in the model. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of aluminum (Al) conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) performance curves related to permeability data of one wire steel core versus stranded wires core over a life time. The data are obtained using COOLTEMP a computer program that combines four models of conductor design by coupling input and output variables. The models are the electromagnetic, mechanical, temperature, and radial thermal conductivity models
