Question
Q1/I An overhead transmission line at a river crossing is supported from two towers. The horizontal
distance between the towers is 500 m as shown in fig below. If the maximum allowable tension is
1600 kg and the Total weight of one meter length of conductor is 1-5 kg, If the conductor has ice
coating of radial thickness 1-27 cm ,Clearance of the lowest point O from water level=23m,
Sag at mid-point P = 7-68 m, Volume of ice per meter length of conductor = 1288 cm3
Calculate
1-The height of the two towers
2- Clearance of mid-point P from water level
3- Sag at 75m from the lowest tower
4-The conductor diameter
l-500m
