The method of experimental study of impact on wire transmission lines

Purpose. The article presents a laboratory setup and a measuring system of oscillations of a fixed wire with a transverse impact.
Findings. This measuring system can be used to determine wire displacements from 1.5 $\mu$m with a time resolution of 5 ns.
Practical meaning. The laboratory setup will allow experimental studies of the reaction of the wire and the frozen ice tube to a mechanical shock by an inductor, the speed and energy of which can be an order of magnitude higher than that of a pendulum.
Originality/value. Described installation for the study of the destructive effect transmitted to the ice indirectly, through a bump,mounted on the wire.
