*Wind load is
not taken into account in High Voltage Electricity Distribution Overhead Line
calculations when the conductor wire is icy. It is obvious that wind will blow
even in icy conditions. Here, with Pbw, 100% wind is applied to the conductor.
The force was calculated assuming a load. The total load on the conductor was
calculated using Pnw. Especially in places where winter conditions are harsh,
pole collapses are
This force must be taken into account in order to prevent it. **Critical Temparature tkr (0C) :Since the
distribution of poles on the land should be made according to the situation
where the maximum sag will occur, the maximum sag is; It is necessary to
calculate whether it will occur at maximum temperature or under additional
load.There is a temperature that gives a sag equal to the sag in the icy state,
and this temperature is called the critical temperature.
***Critical
Span Length akr (m):In power distribution lines, maximum tension
occurs either under additional load or at minimum ambient temperature. There is
a span that separates these two situations where maximum tension occurs, and
this span is called the critical span.
****The tension values in the
table below are taken from TEDAŞ publications. These values are recalculated
and given on the
CONDUCTOR TRACTION CALCULATIONS page. The
accuracy of these values can be checked from the safety distance calculations.
