The overhead power lines are affected by meteorological conditions such as wind, ice, and low temperature, causing the lines to vibrate and dance. The vibration frequency is high and the amplitude is very small. The wind vibration causes the overhead wire to be repeatedly bent at the suspension point, causing material fatigue, resulting in strand breakage and wire breakage accidents. The frequency of galloping is very low, but the amplitude is very large, which can easily cause phase-to-phase flashover, resulting in serious accidents such as line tripping, power failure or burning of wires. A shock hammer is just a length of iron rod.
