Overhead wires consumption test methods

The present invention discloses a method of testing power consumption overhead conductor, comprising the following steps: 1) Select the test conductor; 2) a temperature probe secured to the testing wires; 3) the potential of the copper test point mounted singlet; 4 ) connected to the current transformer and ammeter; 5) to be mounted on a test wire tensile testing machine and loaded; 6) are electrically connected; 7) to the test circuit is energized; 8) measure and record the current consumption test Pl, conductor temperature and conductors ; 9) cooling off, the test was repeated twice; 10 calculates the average value of three tests wire consumption data. Test method of the invention, the energy consumption characteristics of the research overhead wires can be deep into the quantitative level, can provide the necessary reference data for the design and selection of manufacturers of overhead wires in overhead wires and optimization of the grid.
