Dhofar Power Company SAOG

The document discusses design specifications for tower stubs and assumed system loading criteria for Dhofar Power Company's overhead transmission lines. It outlines that tower stubs for standard height towers should be identical in design. Assumed system loading will be based on criteria specified in Appendix 7A3 and will include wind, security, and construction/maintenance loads. Wind loads on conductors and insulators will be calculated based on design wind pressure, force coefficients, and projected areas. Tower wind loads will act at 1600 N/Sq.m on one and a half times the projected area of tower members on one side. Specified construction and maintenance loads must be applied to all phase conductor and earthwire attachment points.

7.2.3

Stubs

Stubs for the standard height tower, tower body and leg extensions shall be of the same design. Unless specified to the contrary only one design of stub shall be permitted for each type of tower and the stubs shall be identical for all four legs. For details of the cleat design, reference shall be made to Clause 6.2.4. The thickness of the stub leg members shall not be less than the conesponding tower leg members. 7.2.4 Assumed SysteIll Loading Criteria

The assumed system loading criteria based on detenninistic principles for the ultimate limit states of climatic, security (broken wire) and construction and maintenance shall be in accordance with the clauses and para1neters specified in Appendix 7A3.

7.2.5

Wind Loading

The wind loadings on the conductors and insulators shall be calculated using the following expressions: (a) Conductors Fe Where qdes

Note:

qdes Cf A Cos 2 a Design wind pressure including height and spatial effects = 981 N/sq.m Cf Force coefficient 1.0 for Conductors 1.1 for Earth wire A Full projected area perpendicular to the wind a Yaw angle of wind The effective force is perpendicular to the conductor.

7.2.6

The specified construction and maintenance loading shall be applied to all phase conductor and earthwire attachment points in the combinations stated. Where appropriate these loadings and lor their individual components shall also be applied to the corresponding maintenance points ego the vetiical component shall be applied to vertical maintenance attachment points, whilst the longitudinal is applied to the horizontal maintenance plates.
