The results of the work performed at EPRI's Project UHV from October 1976 to December 1977 are presented. During this period, a 3-phase ac test line with different bundles and line configurations was energized to obtain design data on audible noise, radio noise, corona loss, and television interference for line voltages between 1000 and 1500 kV. In addition, basic research on audible noise produced by bundle conductors, flashover tests on line insulation with switching impulses, and flashover tests on contaminated insulators under steady state and transient overvoltages were performed. The results obtained are reported in detail in this report and have been used as the basis for a revision of line design data, and the preparation of a second edition of the Transmission Line Reference Book - 345 kV and Above.
