Our Answer: Modern aluminium overhead line conductors are engineered for resilience against various environmental challenges. While standard conductors are robust, recent advancements focus on anti-icing and de-icing technologies. This includes specialized coatings that make the conductor surface superhydrophobic to prevent ice accumulation, or advanced de-icing techniques that utilize thermal or electrical methods to safely remove ice. For critical infrastructure, selecting conductors with a high strength-to-weight ratio, such as ACSR, is crucial to withstand the mechanical loads of ice and wind without excessive sag.
