During the ice storm of Dec. 18-23, 2008, the Ameren Illinois Utilities' electric line crews had to face a phenomenon known as galloping conductors (electric/power lines). This phenomenon occurs when strong winds blow across ice-coated power lines, causing them swing violently. Galloping conductors can damage power lines, insulators and utilities infrastructure, resulting in electric service outages. This also may cause flickers and/or frequent power disruptions in your home or business.
