Abstract: Calculation of windage yaw angle of transmission lines is usually made by rigid body statics model. In order to simplify the calculation process, it is supposed in this model that the insulator string and conductor are rigid body, and no bending or deformation occur for the insulator string when wind blows. For the UHV transmission line, however, the chain structure bending extent of the UHV insulator string is higher than that of lower voltage transmission lines when wind blows because of its longer insulator string. It is therefore imperative to study the effects of long insulator string on the windage yaw angle of transmission lines. Numerical simulation and simulation verification test of windage yaw shows that when rod insulator string is used for UHV transmission lines, the effects of the chain structure bending can be ignored; but for the disk insulator string, when the adjacent conductor hanging points are higher than the insulator string itself, the effects shall be taken into consideration, i.e., the horizontal displacement of insulator string calculated by the existing method shall be added by the deviation value caused by chain structure bend of insulator string, otherwise the windage yaw fault may occur for the UHV tower head

Key words: insulator string, chain structure bend, rigid body statics model, windage yaw angle, wind load
