Experimental Study on Prediction Method of Hum Noise from Conductor Bundles for UHV Transmission lines

摘要

The audible noise which is produced by corona discharge from transmission line conductors is composed of two major components, namely "hum noise" and "random noise". Hum noise has a frequency of twice the power line frequency and is generated primarily in rain, fog, and highly humid environments. It is one of the major factors affecting conductor design of transmission lines for voltages above 500kV and it is very important to predict level of hum noise near transmission lines.
