Abstract: The article presents the influence of weather conditions, represented by the ambient temperature, for the intensity of the failure of MV overhead power lines. It presents the mechanisms of damaging the equipment by the high and low temperatures. It shows the method of determining the intensity of failure of power facilities as a function of ambient temperature. The article presents the empirical results obtained for the MV overhead power lines exploited in the Polish electricity grids.
