Case *11 (EDF 1990)<br />

This is the 102-m-span <strong>in</strong> Case *11 but with dropper <strong>in</strong><br />

midspan. <strong>The</strong> <strong>short</strong>-<strong>circuit</strong> current flows through the<br />

complete span, path B is with dropper and path A the<br />

reference without dropper, see also [Ref 3]. <strong>The</strong><br />

calculation is also done us<strong>in</strong>g the method described <strong>in</strong><br />

paragraph 3.3. Figure 8.20 gives the results.<br />

8.3.3. Bundle p<strong>in</strong>ch effect<br />

In cases 7 (University <strong>of</strong> Erlangen-Nürnberg 1985) and<br />

*16 (Furukawa 1966), only bundle p<strong>in</strong>ch effect is<br />

measured. In case 7, a special test arrangement had been<br />

used with <strong>short</strong> span length and low static tensile forces,<br />

whereas <strong>in</strong> case *16 a 35-m-span with high static tensile<br />

force. For these very different test structures, sufficient<br />

accuracy is obta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> most tests, Figure 8.21 and<br />
