Abstract
Bare overhead stranded conductors are used in both distribution and transmission lines. While very durable and having very stable mechanical and electrical properties, conductors in lines beyond their 40 year design life may deteriorate due to high temperature operation, wind-induced vibration, and corrosion. Methods of evaluating the reliability and performance of lines having aging conductors are presented.
