EXAMPLE:

Ultimate tensile strength is measured by the maximum stress that a material can
withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking.
Example

200m of Krypton AAAC conductor is tensioned to


12kN. What is the stress and elongation?

Solution

0.00136

Yis 56 GPA
The conductor will stretch 0.00136 times its length
The 200m section will stretch ____m
(=433xg/1000); g=9.8 assume H=T
Conductor length between 2-supports:
DESIGN SPANS, CLEARANCES AND LOADINGS

Design Spans:
In order to design suitable tower dimensions for an overhead line it is necessary to calculate
the conductor sags and tensions.
The maximum conductor tension (which will occur at minimum temperature) is evaluated
in order to ensure a sufficient mechanical strength margin for the particular conductor. The
sag is calculated to fix the tower height.
α=Shield angle=tan-1 (x1/y1)
The overall height of the tower α
y1
x1
Basic Span The basic span is the horizontal distance between centres of adjacent supports
on level ground.
The wind span is half the sum of adjacent horizontal span lengths supported on any one
tower.
The weight span is the distance between the lowest points on adjacent sag
curves on either side of the tower.
