ABSTRACT
Faraday was one of the early researchers who conducted theoretical and experimental research to study the heating of wires by electric current (Faraday, 1834).* Some early works on transmission line conductor thermal rating were conducted in France (Legrand, 1945) that realized the importance of transmission line conductor thermal ratings. A transmission line rating system using temperature monitoring by a thermal image of conductors was developed in Belgium (Renchon, 1956).
