Method and Software for Mechanical Design of Conductors in Long Ties

Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

A method for mechanical design of tie conductors is presented, which is based on numerical solution of equations of equilibrium and of state of the conductor formulated for the system of the tie spans without simplifying assumptions. The spans are computed with the help of “accurate” equations of the theory of a flexible elastic thread based on the curve of thread deflection over a catenary. A brief description of the software realizing the method is given. The software is applicable for cases of knob and tight clip conductor fastening. An example is considered for showing that design of tie conductors by an approximate method that employs balancing of stresses in all spans and determination of stresses for “reduced span” can yield considerable errors.
