Bundles of 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 conductors were tested, using a single- phase overhead test line energized by means of a singlephase bus, which includes a 1500-Kv single-phase 33-Mva autotransformer, a lighthing arrester, a precision SF/sub 6/-insulated capacity, and a coupling capacitor for radio-noise measurements. The test line was energized in March 1970 and was used to determine corona performance of many different bundle conductors. Audible noise, radio noise, and corona loss were measured under varying weather conditions. Two test cages were used for investigations of audible noise, radio noise, corona loss for different conductor bundle configurations, and conductor bundles for voltages up to 1500 Kv. Proposals are made for line performance measurements on a three-phase basis from 1974 to 1976. (MCW)
