IV. CONCLUSION
Only wind direction perpendicular to the line causes
maximum swing angles. Since very often only the time
distribution of wind velocities is known, without reference to
the wind direction, the time probability of swing angles has to
be determined by approximation. In this paper, some methods
and approaches have been found to calculate the swing angle
, for 400 kV lines located in Northern Libya. The wind time
distribution has also been calculated in this paper. In still air,
or under very moderate winds, the clearances should be wide
enough to withstand lightning or switching impulse voltages,
and in under high wind the clearances may be related to power
frequency voltage.
The clearances necessary to withstand The 400 kV line in
normal and abnormal conditions have been determined. The
conductors have to maintain the clearances under lightning,
switching and TOV (temporary over voltage). According to
the result in this project, the Top cross-arm is the most
significant part of tower that is exposed to the impact of wind,
because it is the highest in height and shortest in length.
Therefore, the study referred to the top cross-arm, as the
impact is also most significant on the horizontal clearances
side, as the infringement of the safety and transient clearances
can occur at a small swing angle (27).
The chance of infringing the vertical clearances is almost
zero because the swing angle should exceed 35 to achieve
that infringement. Therefore, even the effects of these two
