Deicing tranmssion lines - skin effect
Deicing tranmssion lines - skin effect
(OP)
I see IEEE papers of people looking into inject high frequency currents into transmission lines for deicing via the skin effect. Has anyone run across a utility that does this to deice their lines? Is it effective? Does anyone know of a vendor?

I actually witnessed it first hand responding with mutual aid while working for a New England utility. It got pretty old real quick after sleeping, in bed, with your coat and boots on in a hotel that had no electricity.
