Hi guys,
I was playing around with conductor configurations and observed this phenomenon. Mind you these are for the High voltage transmission (138 kV) lines that span kms. So apparently, the orientation of the conductor relative to North will change the ampacity of the transmission line. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case? I mean it makes sense to me how the wind, elevation, latitude and etc. would affect ampacity as it tells us the sag, and how the sun hits the conductor.
Thanks,
MrBuggy
