ELECTRICITY UTILITIES SPECIFICATION TA01-TA02

TB01-TB02
TC01-TC02
Supports for ice free zones may be subjected to some of their most
severe loads during construction and maintenance .

There are some special weather conditions, in which the temperatures


are specified as follows :
Ice T = 0°C
Sand storm T = + 30°C
Thunderstorm T = + 20°C
Earthquake T = + 20°C

4.9 Load Combinations

The conductors, accessories and towers are subjected to withstand the


following load combinations . The appropriate load factors are indicated
in clause 4.9.5 .

4.9.1 Minimum Temperature


This combination includes :
- Horizontal loads without wind
- Vertical loads
- Minimum temperature

4.9.2 Maximum Wind

This combination includes :


- Maximum wind load
- Horizontal loads
- Vertical loads
- Temperature

The most unfavorable wind direction is normally perpendicular to the


line direction . For straight line towers also the diagonal (45 degrees)
wind direction shall be calculated .

4.9.3 Broken Wire

This combination includes :


- Horizontal loads including 50% of max. wind load
- Vertical loads
- Everyday stress temperature
- One conductor or earth wire broken

For a phase of a single conductor the vertical load of the broken wire is
assumed to be 20% of its dead weight . No reduction in the dead weight
of the broken wire in case of bundle conductors shall be made . For

suspension towers the conductor stress is assumed to be 70% of the
stress when considering forces for the broken conductor .

The conductor breakage is assumed to occur at the most critical phase or


earthwire for the structural part in the consideration. For the bundle
phase conductors only one sub conductor is assumed to be broken .

4.9.4 Stringing Conditions

This combination includes :-


- Horizontal loads without wind taking into consideration the over
tension of the conductors .
- Vertical loads
- Stringing temperature
- Other forces caused by stringing

Conductor stresses shall be calculated according to conductor


stringing procedure is defined in loading combination .

The stringing is supposed to be done so that all the conductors and earth
wires on one side of the tower are strung and fixed one by one in most
unfavorable direction .

In case of double circuit line the process is assumed to take place as


follows :-

a) At first earth wires, then three phases below each other and then
remaining three all at one side of the tower .

b) All the conductors and earth wires strung and fixed at one side of
the tower and then the conductors and earth wires at the opposite
side of the tower as in point a .

For tension tower also the vertical additional forces caused by the
possible staying of the tower shall be taken into account as well as the
manload with tool weight (3 kN including load factor) and the dead
weight of additional accessories .

The ratio between the vertical height of the fixing point of the stay in the
shaft to the horizontal distance of the fixing point of the stay in the
terrain shall not rise above 1:2 .
