Abstract - The sag in an overhead transmission line is very much influenced by the current in the conductor. Until recently, the current carrying capacity of a conductor has been determined by the deterministic approach. However, the probabilistic approach has become popular in recent times, and it is being applied in designing insulation, mechanical components, general electrical apparatus, etc. A new method, based on the probabilistic technique, is used to assess the sag in an overhead line in this paper. This is to avail another method, which looks more promising than the deterministic approach, and can provide utility companies as well as analysts a basis for comparison.
Recorded data on some climatic factors and transmission line current are used in our analyses.
