Aeolian Vibrationmoderate wind speed 0.8 to 7 m/sec
frequency lies between 5 to 60 Hz,
high frequency, low amplitude
Excessive bending strain nearsuspension OR spacer clamp can causefatigue failures of conductor strands
Cumulative effect of the conductorvibrations can damage the conductor

Conductor Galloping
U sually occurs in strong windU nstable aerodynamic characteristicsof conductors caused due toasymmetrical ice depositVery low frequency 0.1 to 0.75 Hz,amplitude of the same order of theconductor sag, mode shapes of one,two or three loops per span
In general bundle conductors aremore prone to galloping under icingconditions than single conductors

W ake induced oscillation
U sually occurs moderate to strong windin the range of 7 to 18 m/sec
Aerodynamic instability of the leeward
sub conductor of the bundle as itmoves in the wake of the windwardones.
Frequency lies in the range of 0.7 to 2Hz, amplitude of 0.5 to 20 timesdiameter of conductor
The most common form of wakeinduced oscillation is sub-span mode ofoscillations.

Self damping capacity of ACSR/AAAC conductors is too lowto dissipate effectively the wind induced vibration energy
Use of external devices to supplement the dissipation of energy to reduce the fatigue failure
The mechanical behavior of different type of dampers
to be evaluated
Effectiveness of vibration damper depends on location,conductor tension, diameter, frequency etc.
Energy imparted to the conductor by wind should bedissipated by the conductor and external damping device
Pw = Pc + Pd
Pw - power imparted into the conductor by windPc - Power dissipated by the conductor Pd - Power dissipated by the damper
