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.

Ever see a power line gallop? Wind speed and direction can sometimes cause a phenomenon known as "galloping", when lines start swaying and bouncing 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

When ice and snow build up on power lines, the lines gallop and cause outages. In order to safely remove ice we’ll have to take controlled outages today — we’ll do our best to give you advance warning. | Manitoba Hydro

RM of Rhineland: We’ve been dealing with galloping lines, downed lines, high winds, and ice-build up — which has caused outages throughout the area today. We’ve brought in additional crews, and we’re aiming to have most customers back on by 9 p.m. We’re working as quickly as possible to safely repair equipment and roll ice off lines, but we've got more work ahead, and will continue removing ice this evening and into tomorrow. | Manitoba Hydro

When cold, icy weather strikes, our transmission lines can experience galloping. This occurs when rain freezes to the power lines, and then steady winds cause adjacent lines to move and sometimes contact one another. This can cause an outage. While we can’t prevent lines from galloping, there are a number of ways our engineers try to prevent the impact of galloping lines. Learn more: http://enter.gy/6187rGNcB | Entergy Texas

When ice builds up on power lines, high winds can cause lines to gallop — no, it's not as fun as it sounds 🤠 Galloping lines can cause damage and outages, so we roll ice off the lines as a preventative measure. Here’s a crew rolling ice near Dauphin today. Other crews today were working to replace numerous broken poles caused by this weekend’s double-whammy of ice and wind. | Manitoba Hydro

YIKES! The powerlines are galloping in Jackson County, Indiana -- but not in a good way. Jackson County REMC said, "Galloping is when high winds push on the ice on the lines and lifts them up, creating a jumping motion. This will cause lights to flicker and can also cause lines to break." Be safe out there! Video: REMC linemen Jason Morrison and Ken Nicholson | WLKY News

Galloping transmission lines are just one hazard caused by Winter Storm Landon, whose effects have been felt in most of our service territories, including Texas. In this video, the galloping lines were caused by strong gusts of wind in the Abilene and San Angelo Districts of AEP Texas. When freezing rain creates icicles on power lines, high winds can then push the icicles and lift the lines, creating a galloping or jumping motion. | American Electric Power - AEP
