The invention discloses a method for improving the power transmission efficiency of an external network. The method comprises the following steps of 1, performing a heating test; 2, performing a heating test on a crimping fitting matched with the wire; 3, calculating the sag of the wire; calculating the maximum sag of the wire at the temperature of 80 DEG C in the step 1 according to a corresponding line design rule; 4, calculating the safe distance between the wires; according to the method, the strength loss rate of the to-be-used wire at the continuous high temperature is calculated, the wire with the small loss rate is selected for line erection, the maximum sag of the wire at the high temperature and the corresponding crossing span and ground distance are calculated, so that a power grid is erected and transformed, and the allowable maximum temperature of the wire is increased; and the short-time current-carrying capacity required by the system under the condition of stable accidents is increased, so that the normal transmission capacity of the line is improved, namely, the transmission capacity is improved under the condition of not changing the line structure.
