What I was saying was that when I tried to solve this problem, I tried to find the transverse load from the sine of this 29 deg angle, which was obviously a mistake. The angle between the suspension insulator string and the straight line has nothing to do with the calculations for transverse...

Hello PhanthomJay, thank you for your reply. You are pretty close for the tension - it's about 40MPa, which for this conductors makes about 17,6kN. What I was not sure was how to calculate the transverse load from the conductors tension. At first I got confused that I have to use the angle...

Hello to all of you. I have the following case to solve. I have three overhead power line towers. The first and the third are with tension insulator strings, and the second is with suspension insulator string. During the design process i noticed that the second tower is located incorrectly and...
