A hanging jumper beam is adopted to suppress a jumper conductor's large movement under strong winds. However, the hanging jumper beam is vibrated easily due to low damping and it is thought that their vibrations affect a tower's or cross arm's oscillations incrementally. This paper reports some of our findings about the basic dynamic properties of a hanging jumper beam and the tower through several vibration tests of a strain tower having hanging jumper beams, adding some measurement results during a strong wind.
