Conductors are essential elements of electricity transmission and distribution systems. This work analyzes the dynamic behavior and energy dissipation of the CAL 1120 | 838 MCM cable under wind-induced vibrations and self-damping. Experimental tests were conducted considering different frequencies and tensile loads, analyzing the efficiency of Stockbridge F4000 dampers. It was observed that increased frequency results in higher energy dissipation, and tensile load directly influences vibration amplitude and power dissipation.
