I. INTRODUCTIONHEDDING of the ice accreted on transmission line cables is a recurrent problem in cold regions. The falling of large ice chunks results in high-amplitude vibration of the de-iced cable giving rise to important dynamic forces acting on the transmission line. When a subconductor in a multiconductor bundle sheds, the rotation of the bundle may also be significant, leading to bundle collapse in extreme cases. Bundle collapse occurs when the bundle rotation exceeds a critical angle so that the bundle loses its stability and does not untwist itself after load removal [2], [3]. A review of icerelated dynamic problems on overhead lines, including ice shedding and bundle rolling is provided in [4].Research efforts to understand and simulate the dynamic effects of ice shedding have been carried on for several decades.
