Description / Abstract:
This guide provides a template to assist line design engineers
in gathering information and organizing it into a coherent design
criteria document for use in the design of overhead electric power
transmission lines, generally at voltages of 69 kV and higher. The
guide will also be useful for the design of lower voltage
lines.
Purpose
This guide assists in application to engineers for the
preparation of a design criteria document used for overhead
transmission lines. A design criteria documents the data and
assumptions used; the sources of the data and assumptions; the
conventions, standards, guides, and design manuals used; and the
design method(s) used in the design of the transmission line. The
guide offers a comprehensive table of contents of the important
criteria that should be taken into consideration in the design of
transmission lines. The guide discusses the various criteria. The
guide does not recommend criteria values, as would a design manual,
but lists and discusses the importance of the criteria. The design
engineer must determine the values to use based on the location,
ambient conditions, and importance of the line.
