In these circumstances wind can have two effects, it can help to cool the line, but may also cause the line to sway and touch high trees resulting in a short circuit discharge to ground, which can sometimes trigger a major power outage. Gill wind anemometers are often used to monitor power line condition and are normally placed on the pylon. Due to the height, the vertical component of the wind speed is also important and in these circumstances the WindMaster Pro has been used. With a rugged stainless steel construction able to survive the potentially high wind speeds in these conditions, and a fast data output rate of 32Hz the WindMaster is the ideal choice.

Power & Energy
The efficiency of power lines is affected by wind conditions. When hot weather generates demand for more electricity power lines heat up, and then stretch and sag.
