An overhead transmission line (OHTL) is a very complex, continuous, electrical/mechanical system. Its function is to transport power safely from the circuit breaker on one end to the circuit breaker on the other. It is physically composed of many individual components made up of different materials having a wide variety of mechanical properties, such as
- Flexible vs. rigid
- Ductile ...
