1. Design wind pressure will depend on terrain category, line security level and microburst considerations.
see Table 3.
2, Failure containment case shall llow for phase and OHEW conductors to be broken in accordance with
‘Clause 3.3.8, causing a worstcase out-of-balanoe load on both termination and intermediate structures.
Additionally, for stayed structures, a failure containment load case is required for all conductors attached
‘and the stay wire removed.
In dispibution systems using pin or post insulators with wire ties or equivalent fixing, and relatively flexible
‘structures and foundations, itis not necessary to design supports for the RSL_ For tension and terminal
‘distribution pole supports consideration shall be given for the RSL
3. Designers are to add notes to their design drawings indicating, where required, the need for temporary
‘construction stays. Consideration for conductor stringing and construction staging is required when
developing supports for this laad case.
