The analysis of propagation of subspan oscillations through the groups of spacers in conductor bundles

Jacek Snamina, Waldemar Łatas
The paper presents a theoretical model of wave propagation through groups of spacers in a multiconductor bundle. The important quantities; such as, energy of passed and reflected waves, respectively and the energy dissipated in the spacers have been determined. It is shown that oscillations can be reduced by a proper design of groups of spacers. The theoretical analysis is illustrated with numerical results.
