1.4K views · 14 shares | Have you ever seen a power line "gallop"? The right wind conditions can sometimes cause a phenomenon known as galloping, when lines sway and bounce up and down. If a galloping conductor gets close enough to another energized wire, it can result in power disruptions, or it could lead to damage causing a power outage. If you see galloping or damaged lines, be aware of potential safety hazards and stay clear. | Newfoundland Labrador Hydro | Facebook

When power lines move like this, it's called "galloping". Galloping lines are often caused by a build up of ice on one side of the lines due to strong wind. The ice build up creates an airfoil which changes the flow of air around the normally round line. The change in air flow causes the line to bounce. This can be a very dangerous situation. These lines can bounce enough to hit another power line, cause an outage, and even fall to the ground. If you see galloping lines, please stay far away. |

Strong wind blows across a power line and can make it lift – like an airplane wing. That causes the line to bounce or gallop and can result in damage and outages. To learn more about the cause of outages, visit saskpower.com/outages. #SaskPower #SkOutage | SaskPower

Check out this video shot by one of our power line technicians. Notice the power lines "galloping" in the high winds? Due to the blizzard, many crews are unable to restore power safely. We'll get power on as soon as it’s safe to do so. #SaskPower #SKOutage | SaskPower

Galloping lines can cause major issues with power lines and electrical equipment. When wind and ice combine, power outages often follow. That’s because when ice freezes on a line, it forms a teardrop shape making the line aerodynamic and prone to galloping with the wind. When that happens, the lines can slap into each other causing electricity to jump between two lines, damage equipment on the power pole or even weaken the pole itself.
