Abstract

To acquire basic data for lifetime estimation, tensile test, which is a type of mechanical test of ACSR, is required. By identifying the correlation of such tensile test results to aging and performing statistical processing, the lifetime can be estimated. Regression analysis is the most commonly used statistical processing method.

In this study, we performed ACSR tensile test on sound wires, wires deteriorated by artificial flame, and deteriorated wires collected from forest fire sites. The limit of lifetime analysis was selected as the 20% loss point of rated tensile strength which is the standard set by Canada’s Ontario Hydro Research
