General. An ice storm can cause major difficulties in the operation of electric power systems. Under certain atmospheric conditions, a deposit of ice can build up to a thickness that can cause overhead lines to fail and can cause difficulty in the operation of outdoor switching equipment.
The purpose of these tests is to demonstrate that the equipment will operate successfully under iced conditions. The test code describes the procedure for producing controlled coatings of ice that compare with those encountered in nature, and defines these procedures so that the tests can be consistently repeated.
