The Vibration Characteristics of Rain Droplet on the Surface of the Overhead Line Conductors

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

    Abstract

    The frequency response for rain droplet vibration
    is investigated through two experiments: one subjected to a
    mechanical vibration system, the other one subject to modulated
    electrical field. The motion of the rain droplet is captured through
    high speed recording and the magnitude of the vibration has been
    analyzed against the excitation frequency as well as the volume of
    the vibrating droplets. It has been found that each vibrating rain
    droplet has a fixed natural/resonance frequency where the
    magnitude of vibration reaches its maxima, and this natural /
    resonance frequency is determined by its volume.
