Designing OHTL Tubular Steel Poles: What Standards Should You Be Aware Of?

AI Thread Summary
The design of OHTL tubular steel poles for 11 KV transmission lines should adhere to AISC standards, with companies like TAPP offering poles up to 110 feet. However, the specific height and design can vary based on local conditions such as voltage level, wind velocity, and temperature. There is no one-size-fits-all standard for these poles, making it essential to consider various factors for each location. Relevant standards to consult include ASCE’s Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures and ANSI/NEMA standard No. TT1. Understanding these guidelines is crucial for effective pole design.

Does anybody knows a standard way of determining the hight of 11 KV transmission line galvanised steel poles ?

Welcome to Physics Forums Magwa.

Steel poles for transmission lines are designed to AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) standards. Looks like this company makes them up to heights of 110 feet.

Thank u so much dlgoff , but i am looking for the standard that TAPP and its similar companies are using to design the OHTL tubular steel poles bec. as far as i can understand that every location is going to have its own structure according some variables like voltage level of the line , wind velocity , temp. , etc. and there is no particular standard poles to be used. So i hopefully am trying to find these standards (ASCE’s Design of Steel Transmission Pole
Structures, and ANSI/NEMA standard No. TT1 latest edition,) in order to design my case.
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
