Conductor clashing
Conductor clashing is the phenomenon where conductors come in contact with one another during high wind speeds or gusts.[1]
External forces
Shoes on a power line
Conductor clashing may be assisted by the following external forces:
- Incorrect tensioning of the line during erection
- High winds, or gusts during extreme storms or hot weather
- Flora such as hazard trees breaking and falling onto wires
- Fauna such as birds causing wires to sag and/or clash
- Vehicles crashing into poles, causing poles to lean & wires to clash
- Vandalism such as articles thrown onto power lines causing wires to sag and/or clash.
gollark: Wonderful.
gollark: Wait, why does it take a double pointer or something to the list in `add`?
gollark: If I ever need a really inefficient way to store a large but unknown-at-compile-time integers while using C, I'll keep this in mind.
gollark: They're probably okay if you have really giant nodes and also need to prepend/concat a lot.
gollark: The Rust docs for them say as much.
