INTRODUCTION
Short-circuit currents in power lines and substations induce electromagnetic forces acting on
the conductors. The forces generated by short-circuit forces are very important for highvoltage bundle conductor lines, medium-voltage distribution lines, and substations, where
spacer compression forces and interphase spacings are significantly affected by them.
Power Lines and Substations
Short-circuit mechanical design loads have been a subject of significant importance for
transmission line and substation design for many years, and numerous papers, technical
brochures and standards have been published (Manuzio 1967; Hoshino 1970; Havard et al.
1986; CIGRE 1996; CIGRE 2002; IEC 1993 and 1996; Lilien and Papailiou 2000). Under
short-circuit forces, there are some similarities and some differences between the behavior of
flexible bus and power lines.
For both the power lines and substations, the electromagnetic forces are similar in their origin
and shapes because they come from short-circuit current (IEC 1988). Nevertheless, as listed
below, there are some major differences between short-circuit effects on substation bus
systems and power lines:
Power lines are subjected to short-circuit current intensity, which is only a fraction of the
level met in substation bus systems. The short-circuit level is dependent on short-circuit
location, because longer lengths of lines mean larger impedance and lower short-circuit
level. The level also depends on power station location and network configuration.
Power line circuit configuration may not be a horizontal or vertical arrangement, thus
inducing other spatial components of the forces than in bus systems, and the movement
may be quite different.
Power lines have much longer spans and thus much larger sags than flexible bus and rigid
bus. This induces a very low basic swing frequency of the power line span (a fraction of
one Hz). Therefore the oscillating components of the force at the network frequency (and
its double) have negligible action on power lines.
Power line phase spacings are much larger than those in substations, and this has a
dramatic reduction effect on forces between phases.
Bundle conductors in power lines have much larger subspans than in substations, and
bundle diameter is often larger, too. Sometimes very large bundle diameter and a large
number of subconductors are used compared to bundled substation flexible bus. This has
significant effects on the phenomenon because long subspans reduce the effect of bundle
collapse upon the tension in the subconductors during short circuit conditions. Fig. 1
demonstrates the distortion of the subconductors of a quad bundle around a flexible spacer
during a short-circuit, known as the pinch effect, which causes the tension increase.
Due to differences in structure height and stiffness, power line towers have significantly
lower fundamental natural frequencies than substation structures. One result is that the
substation structures are more likely to respond dynamically to the sudden increase in
tension that results from the pinch effect.
Power line design load includes severe wind action and in some cases heavy ice loads
acting on much larger spans than in substations. Therefore design loads due to short
circuits may be of the same order as design wind and ice loads in substations, but much
less in transmission lines.
Figure 1 Example of quad bundle before and during short-circuit test at 50 kA, showing
distortion of the subconductors. One flexible spacer at mid-span (courtesy Pfisterer/Sefag).
The subconductor movements occur at very high acceleration. For example, a 40 kA fault on a
twin bundle of 620 mm2 conductor, with a separation of 40 cm, may have acceleration up to
several tens of g, depending on the instantaneous current value. Spacers are subjected to
compression forces; and these instantaneous compression loads can be very high.
Upward movement of the whole span follows the rapid contraction of the bundle and reduces
the conductor tension, but does not reduce the maximum forces on the spacers occurring
during initial impact.

(Manuzio 1967).
Interphase Effects and Distribution Lines
The video available on my web site (http://www.tdee.ulg.ac.be/doc-5.html) contains some
short-circuit tests on rigid bus, flexible bus and high-voltage overhead lines and distribution
lines.
Fault currents produce an impulse tending to make the separate phases of a circuit swing away
from each other, independently of whether the phases are bundled. The impulse that causes
this lasts only as long as the fault, so it is brief relative to the fundamental period of the span.
The momentum from the impulse carries the phases outward for a certain distance before their
tension arrests and reverses the motion. They then swing inward. This inward swing may be
4
large enough to cause cable contact and even permanent wrap-up at the middle of the span.
For double-circuit towers, the circuit subjected to the short circuit could force its phases to
come in contact with another circuit, thus causing outages on both circuits. There may also be
sag increases, up to several times the initial sag in distribution lines, due to heating effects
under short circuit, which may significantly affect the amplitude of movements.
Even though the inward swing could be short of interphase contact, if the phase spacing is
less than the critical flashover distance, and the inward swing occurs at the time that voltage is
restored by automatic reclosure, there will be a second fault.
Very large movements may be seen on distribution lines. Figure 3 shows the motion produced
during full-scale testing on an actual line. This is from an actual three-phase short-circuit test
on a 15-kV distribution line near Lige, Belgium (Lilien and Vercheval 1987). The photo
shows an instantaneous position of the conductors taken during the test. The fault current
level was 3 kA. The reduction in phase spacing may be particularly dramatic on mediumvoltage lines, even if the short-circuit level is much lower.
Figure 3 Instantaneous position of the conductors taken during three-phase short-circuit test
on 15-kV distribution line near Lige (Lilien and Vercheval 1987).
Substation with rigid busbars
The behavior of a rigid bus under short-circuit load is very depending of its first natural
eigenmode and eigenfrequency. Indeed electromagnetic forces includes pseudo-continuous
component combined with a 50 Hz and a 100 Hz component.
Some example are shown on the next figure.
The transient response is thus very depending on the voltage as low voltage (say 70 kV)
would have a short bar length and a reduced size tubular bar, when high voltage (typically 400
kV) would have long bar length and large tubes.
Moreover the busbar is installed on supporting insulators which have their own
eigenfrequencies, close to 50 Hz for 150 kV level. So that dynamics of such structures is far
from obvious and case dependent.
Fig xx : rigid busbar response to ta given electromagnetic force similar to a two-phase fault
with asymmetrical component in the short-circuit current. The transient response is given for
different busbar first eigenfrequency between 1.7 Hz and 150 Hz. (extract from CIGRE
brochure N 105, 1996).
Fig xx : a tested rigid bus (all details in CIGRE brochure 105, 1996), Measurement points are
located as S2, I2,C3 (constrains). Short-circuit of 16 kA during 135 ms with automatic
reclosure after 445 ms and a second fault of 305 ms with same amplitude as the first one.
Fig xx test results. The first eigenfrequency of the whole structure is about 3.3 Hz. There is
quasi no effect of the 50 Hz nor of the 100 Hz component of the force. As damping was
negligeable, as time to reclosure was particularly dramatic compared to structure oscillation,
the second fault induced about twice as much constrains compared to the first fault.

It must be noted that the level of the peak force, about 200 N/m in Figure 5, is far greater than
the conductor weight and is proportional to the square of the current. But the continuous
component is much lower, about 30 N/m in this case, as shown later. Under actual shortcircuit levels and clearances, it is closer to the conductor weight, but acts, in most cases, in the
other direction. See upper right panel in Figure 5.

Thus the interphase effects, for the case of horizontal or purely vertical arrangement only,
may be summarized as:
1. The design force on the horizontal or vertical three-phase arrangement is the force due to a
three-phase fault considering the outer phase with appropriate asymmetry. Taking into
account the fact that only the continuous dc component has to be considered, the force on
an outer phase can be approximated by Equation 3. This is the horizontal repulsion force
for the horizontal arrangement, or the vertical repulsion force for the vertical arrangement:

Detailed behavior of bundle conductors under short circuit is most easily illustrated through
short-circuit tests in actual bundles. Some results from a program of tests at the Veiki
substation in Hungary are used here for that purpose (Lilien and Papailiou 2000).
The systematic single-phase fault tests on twin conductors were performed in the 1990s on a
power line with a double deadended span, with a length of 60 m, with the following
characteristics (Figure 6):

Figure 7 shows installation of rigid spacers and measurement points (bold lines) for the 60-m

spacers were installed close to each other so as to receive half the contribution. The
installation of measurement is such that actual load for spacers in power lines would be twice
the measured value.
The following oscillograms were recorded (Figure 8). On the left hand side, the 60-m span
length results are presented, and on the right-hand side, the 30-m span length results are
presented. It should be noted that the actual pinch occurs during the first approximately 0.2
seconds, while the fault current is on, and that the other spikes in the records arise from
subsequent motion of the bundle.

Figure 8 Typical tests results on spacer compression on 60-m and 30-m subspan length, at 35
kA on twin-bundle line 2x Condor, with different sagging tensions. Half of the compression is
given. The drawings are covering short-circuit and significant after short-circuit time to better
see the wave propagation effects after the end of the short circuit. (Courtesy Pfisterer/Sefag).
After the short circuit, the subconductors separate from each other during a long transient,
with wave propagation along each subspan (as can be seen in the video that accompanies this
book and in Figure 8). During that transient, significant tensile forces (the opposite of
compression) are applied on the spacers, the level of which reach about 50% of the maximum
compression load. In spite of their smaller magnitude, the effect of these tension forces on the
spacer must be considered separately, because some spacer attachments are not as strong in
tension as they are in compression. A particular example is the attachment using an open or
saddle clamp, with helical rods to capture the subconductor. These loads are repeated with
every passage of the wave up and down the span. Note the shorter repetition time in the 30-m
span. These loads decay very slowly, so that many repeated such loads have to be taken into
account.
The graphs in Figure 8 show the effect of gradually increasing initial tension before the fault
from 15 kN (12.5% EDS) to 35 kN (28% EDS). The effect on propagation speed can be seen
in the after short-circuit peaks, but the influence on maximum pinch is limited in actual range,
as predicted by Manuzio (the pinch being proportional to the square root of the tension), and it
14
is particularly valid for long subspans, as used in power lines and as validated by Manuzios
test arrangements (Manuzio 1967).
In case of spring-type dampers, which could be compressed by the pinch, there could be a
large increase of these tensile loads acting on spacer attachment as the relaxation of energy
stored in spring compression during short-circuit is released after the end of the short circuit.
Depending on the configurations of the spacer and spacer dampers, the short-circuit forces
could cause large bending moment in the conductor and the elements of the spacer.

60-m span length configuration (15 kN initial). Irms 35 kA (peak 90 kA), 0.18 s courtesy
Pfisterer/Sefag).
In these tests, limited to one-phase fault, there is no interphase effect but, due to the increment
in tension caused by the pinch, the whole phase jumps up after short-circuit inception and
falls down afterwards. This behavior induces some tension changes in the conductors, as can
be seen in Figures 9 and 10. It is notable that the pinch effect (the first peak during the fault in
the first 0.18 s) in the conductor has a smaller tension rise than that which occurs, at 0.9
seconds, as the phase falls. In both cases, the latter is limited to 1.8 times the initial static
sagging tension.

pinch effect, due to bundle collapse), Ft at time Tt (the maximum of the force due to maximum
swing of the span represented by circle point 1 on the right figure), and F f at time Tf (the
maximum of the force due to cable drop represented by circle 2 in the right figure. Typically,
Tpi -40 ms, Tt +1.2 s and Tf = 4 s
17
Right figure: Movement of one phase (right) in a vertical plane at mid-span (X and Z are the
two orthogonal axes taken in the vertical plane at mid-span, perpendicular to the cable. Z is
vertical, -10 m is the initial point showing sag, and X is horizontal and transverse to the
cable). Such movement has been calculated for a two-phase fault of 63 kA (duration 0.1 s end
of short circuit being noted on the figure) on a 2 X 570 mm 2 ASTER on a 400-m span length
(sag 10 m) (Lilien and Dal Maso 1990).
It is interesting to compare the level of these loads with typical overhead line design loads
related to wind or ice problem (Electra 1991). Figure 11 shows results of such a case
calculated by simulation on a typical 400-kV overhead line configuration. Figure 12 shows
cable tension versus time in different dynamic loading conditions, as explained in the legend.
It can be seen that cable tensions due to short-circuit currents are significantly smaller than
other causes such as ice shedding.

kN/subconductor. Equation 4 gives a spacer compression force of:
Fc 1.57 x35 25000 x log10 (0.457 / 0.0277) 9586 N
However, in the analysis by Manuzio (Manuzio 1967), short-circuit current asymmetry was
neglected.
That has been taken into account in IEC 60865 for evaluating the maximum tension in the
conductor during fault. But IEC 60865 gives no recommendation for spacer compression.
Other methods to estimate spacer compression forces have been proposed (Hoshino 1970;
Pon et al. 1993; Lilien and Papailiou 2000). Some tests performed in Canada (Pon et al. 1993)
on spacer dampers for power-line-estimated spacer-compression design load up to 20 kN for
typical configurations and anticipated short-circuit levels.
Manuzios method can be safely applied to faults with maximum asymmetry through a correction
factor of 25% (multiply all k factors by 1.25). In fact, Manuzios method is very simple to apply
compared to other methods. It may not be accurate enough for use with respect to substation
flexible bus.
Alternatively, if we define Fpi (as shown in Figure 11) as the maximum tensile load in one
subconductor during the bundle pinch, another best fit would be to use Manuzio method (without
correction factor), but using Fpi pinch value instead of initial static pull. F pi can be evaluated by IEC
60685 method.
Fpi increases linearly (and not with the square) with short-circuit current. That is because a stronger
short-circuit current will increase contact length, thus reducing acting parts of the conductors.
Note: In the use of IEC method 60865 to evaluate Fpi, there is a need to introduce the socalled supporting structure stiffness. In this application, that stiffness is not simply the
static stiffness of supporting structure, but must take into account insulator chain movement
during the first tens of milliseconds of the fault to arrive at an equivalent stiffness (which in
fact would permit evaluation of span end movement, from short-circuit inception up to the
maximum pinch value, after about 40 to 90 ms. An heuristic evaluation indicates that a good
estimate for such equivalent stiffness may be to consider in most of the practical cases a value
of 105 N/m.
Despacering as a Means to Limit Pinch Effect
Despacering (removal of spacers) is an antigalloping measure (see Section 4.5) for some
power lines. It has been used up to the 245-kV level for twin bundles of limited diameter. In
such cases, the bundle is turned in vertical or slightly oblique position, and conductor
separation is increased compared to a spacered bundle. Moreover, it has been recommended
to use larger subconductor spacing at the middle of the span (compared to end of the span)
for example, 0.6 m at ends and 0.8 m at mid-span.
Such configurations may suffer from the kissing phenomenon under high electrical load,
because electromagnetic forces also act under load current. At such current levels,
nevertheless, the electrostatic repulsion (due to voltage) cannot be neglected. It can be shown
22
that, at surge impedance loading (SIL), equilibrium exists between attraction and repulsion
forces. Power flows are often several times (up to four times) the SIL, so that attraction forces
are generally stronger than repulsion. One of the major problems of such configurations is
linked to possible sticking of the subconductors following a perturbation. As electromagnetic
forces depend on distances, there exists a distance under which the subconductors always
come together and stick together, and it is very difficult to separate them without opening the
circuit. Sticking induces large permanent noise and increase in corona. To avoid such
problems, line designers have developed several proposals like the hoop spacer (see Section
4.5).
Under short circuit, these configurations result in clashing between subconductors and, as
subspan length (= span length in this case) is very large, there is little increment in tension.
But, in the case of hoop spacers or similar, the conductor clashing destroys these light spacers
beyond a certain level of short-circuit current.
The following discussion pertains to the case of horizontal/vertical configuration and neglects
temperature heating effects (Lilien and Dal Maso 1990). Only one span is considered.
a = interphase distance (m).
m = mass per unit of length of one phase (kg/m).
Irms = root mean square of the three phase short-circuit current/phase (kA).
= time constant of the short-circuit asymmetric component decay (s).
tcc = duration of the fault (= time of first fault + time of second fault if auto-reclosing) (s).
L = span length (m).
Tst = phase conductor static tension before the fault condition (N).
EA/L = conductor extensional stiffness (product of Young modulus times cross section divided
by span length) (N/m).
K = tower stiffness (N/m) (order of amplitude 105 N/m).
f = initial sag (m).
R = maximum displacement (m).

That maximum may be observed in the case when the conductors are moving away from
each other. But phase spacings can be critical when the phases move back towards each
other, in which case there is generally lower displacement (say, 80% of the separation
movement). In this case, the clearances may be reduced (the most dramatic case being a
two-phase fault) by 2 x 0.8 x R or 1.6 R.
24
The combined values of Tmax and R result in a transverse load on the suspension tower in
the case of a horizontal arrangement, for example.
There is very limited experimental validation of these formulas, because full-scale tests on
power lines have not been conducted.
It must be noted that advanced methods (finite elements) can be used to evaluate these
effects (details are given in CIGRE brochure 214-2002).
It is estimated that these formulas give results with 20% precision on the conservative
side.
Example:
For example, consider the following:
Short-circuit current at 63 kA during 100 ms (with time constant 60 ms) on a twin ASTER
570 mm2 (m = 2 x 1.55 = 3.1 kg/m) with interphase distance a = 8.5 m, span length of 400

Interphase Spacers as a Mean to Limit Clearances Problem Linked with Short Circuit
Interphase spacers have been proposed to solve the phase-clearance problem during short
circuits (Declercq 1998). Experience has shown that appropriate installation of such devices
may effectively maintain appropriate clearances since conductor movement is restricted at
some location in the span.
A major challenge is defining the design load on these interphase spacers. Tests can be
performed, and some are available on the video accompanying this book. Advanced
calculation methods may also help to define these loads. Interphase spacers may be subjected
to bending stresses induced by conductor movements.
