1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.

INTRODUCTION
Conductor self-damping is a physical characteristic of the conductor that defines its capacity
to dissipate energy internally while vibrating. For conventional stranded conductors, energy
dissipation can be attributed partly to inelastic effects within the body of the wires (hysteresis
damping at the molecular level) but mostly to frictional damping, due to small relative
movements between overlapping individual wires, as the conductor flexes with the vibration
wave shape.
Self-damping capacity is an important characteristic of the conductors for overhead
transmission lines. This parameter is a principal factor in determining the response of a
conductor to alternating forces induced by the wind.
As the conductor self-damping is generally not specified by the manufacturer, it can be
determined through measurements performed on a laboratory test span. Semi-empirical
methods to estimate the self-damping parameters of untested conventional stranded
conductors are also available but often lead to different results. Further, a great variety of new
conductor types is increasingly used on transmission lines and some of them may have self-
damping characteristics and mechanisms different from the conventional stranded conductors.
A “Guide on conductor self-damping measurements” was prepared jointly in the past by the
IEEE Task Force on Conductor Vibration and CIGRE SC22 WG01, to promote uniformity in
measuring procedures. The Guide was published by IEEE as Std. 563-1978 and also by
CIGRE in Electra n°62-1979.
Three main methods are recognized in the above documents and divided into two main
categories which are usually referred to as the "forced vibration" and ''free vibration" methods.
The first forced vibration method is the “Power [Test] Method” in which the conductor is forced
into resonant vibrations, at a number of tunable harmonics, and the total power dissipated by
the vibrating conductor is measured at the point of attachment to the shaker.
The second forced vibration method, known as the “Standing Wave Method” or more precisely
“Inverse Standing Wave Ratio [Test] Method” (ISWR), determines the power dissipation
characteristics of a conductor by the measurement of antinodal and nodal amplitudes on the
span, for a number of tunable harmonics.
The free vibration method named “Decay [Test] Method” determines the power dissipation
characteristics of a conductor by measuring, at a number of tunable harmonics, the decay rate
of the free motion amplitude following a period of forced vibration.
Several laboratories around the world have performed conductor self-damping measurements
in accordance with the above mentioned Guide. However, large disparities in self-damping
predictions have been found among the results supplied by the various laboratories. The
causes of these disparities have been identified into five main points:
1) The different test methods adopted for the self-damping measurements.
2) The different span end conditions set up in the various test laboratories (rigid clamps,
flexure members, etc.)
3) The different types of connection between the shaker and the conductor (rigid or flexible)
and the different location of the power input point along the span.
4) The different conductor conditioning before the test (creep, running in, etc.)
5) The different manufacturing processes of the conductor.

1 Scope
The scope of this Standard is to provide test procedures based on the above-mentioned
documents and devoted to minimize the causes of discrepancy between test results, taking
into consideration the large experience accumulated in the last 30 years by numerous test
engineers and available in literature, including a CIGRE Technical Brochure specifically
referring to this standard (see Bibliography).
This Standard describes the current methodologies, including apparatus, procedures and
accuracies, for the measurement of conductor self-damping and for the data reduction formats.
In addition, some basic guidance is also provided to inform the potential user of a given
method's strengths and weaknesses.
The methodologies and procedures incorporated in this Standard are applicable only to
testing on indoor laboratory spans.

5 Test span arrangements
5.1 General
The laboratory test spans for conductor self-damping measurements are generally built indoor
in still air areas where the variation of ambient temperature is minimal or can be suitably
controlled. Ambient temperature variations up to 0,2 °C/h are considered acceptable.

The free span length L should preferably be at least ten times longer than the longest loop
length used in the tests. For consistent results, a span length greater than 40m is
recommended but satisfactory results can be obtained with spans in the range of 30m. For
shorter spans, the influence of the termination losses and the distribution of the tensile load
between the conductor strands may be critical.
The test span shall be strung between two massive blocks with a weight not lower than 10 per
cent of the ultimate tensile strength of the largest conductor to be tested. Each block should
be a single piece, generally made of steel reinforced concrete, and preferably be common or
solidly connected with the concrete floor. The stiffness of these blocks should be as high as
possible in order to minimize the losses and provide the maximum reflexion of the waves.
An example of laboratory test span layout is shown in Figure 1.
IEC  2187/13


Figure 1 – Test span for conductor self-damping measurements
5.2 Span terminations
The test span should have the capability of maintaining a constant conductor tension.
Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, springs, threaded bars and pivotal balance beams have
been used successfully.
A rigid non-articulating square faced clamp similar to that shown in Figure 2 shall be used to
minimize energy dissipation by the termination fixture. An example of a typical termination
design is also provided in Figure 3 of IEEE Std. 563-1978. Terminating fixtures and rigid
clamps shall be of sufficient stiffness to ensure that energy losses do not occur beyond the
extremities of the free span.
Rigid end clamps (also called heavy clamps), equal to or up to ten times longer than the
conductor diameters and with groove diameters not exceeding by more than 0,25 mm the
diameter of the conductor, have given good results. Generally, the clamp groove is
dimensioned for the biggest conductor to be tested and a set of sleeves is made available to
accommodate smaller conductor diameters.
The rigid clamps shall not be used to maintain tension on the span. However, the rigid
clamps, once closed, will retain some load. Consequently, the tension devices cannot fully
control the conductor tension. Subsequent adjustments, if necessary, shall be performed only
after releasing the rigid clamps.
It is very important to have a good alignment between tension clamps and rigid clamps in the
horizontal direction. In the vertical direction, in order to eliminate the static bending of
conductor at the rigid clamp departure, it may be necessary to incline the rigid clamps
following the catenary angle. This practice, when necessary, would avoid any change in
tensile load when closing or opening the clamps.

IEC  2188/13

Figure 2 – Rigid clamp
On a laboratory test span, normally, the wave shape of the end loops differs from the shape of
the free loops and the end loop dissipation is greater than free loop dissipation. As the energy
dissipation of the conductor is, to a first approximation, proportional to the square of its
curvature, it is easy to explain the large dissipation of energy near the end of the span. The
effect is more noticeable at low frequencies where the end loops constitute a higher
proportion of the total number of loops. It further restricts the usefulness of very short indoor
test spans.
Preference should be given to a test arrangement which would minimize energy dissipation at
the span end terminations. If there is uncertainty about this, the energy should be assessed
and eventually accounted for, unless using the ISWR method.
The termination losses may be minimized by terminating the conductor by a flexure member,
such as a wide, flat bar of sufficient strength to accommodate the span tension but also
flexible enough in the vertical direction to allow it to bend readily and to avoid bending the
conductor through a sharp radius of curvature where it would normally enter the clamp. This
procedure has the undesirable effect, though, of including the end termination in the test span.
An example of flexible cantilever is provided in Figure 4 of IEEE Std. 563-1978.
5.3 Shaker and vibration control system
The vibration exciter used for these tests is generally an electro-dynamic shaker (Figure 3).
Hydraulic actuators are also used.
