Completion of Installation of 500kV Cable along the Large-scale Bridges

Abstract

This paper describes an outline of the Honshu-Shikoku Interconnecting Transmission Line which includes the first large-scale cable line. The most significant feature of this transmission line is the installation of 500kV cables along various types of bridges. This brought many previously unknown technical hurdles such as techniques to overcome movements and vibrations of a series of large bridges. These hurdles were cleared through various efforts and techniques by the concerned parties.
