Transmission Line Design (Volume V) - Pole Structures
In Transmission Line Design (Volume V) - Pole Structures, you'll learn ...
- How to design single pole structures
- How to design H-frame structures
- Factors that limit structure spans
- Stress limitation values for various grades of wood used for poles
Overview
This 5-hour course is the final in a series of courses on the design of medium voltage electrical transmission lines. This volume is divided into two chapters: the first chapter addresses the design of single pole structures, and the second chapter explains how to design H-frame structures.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Calculate the structural loading of single-pole structures.
- Identify the factors that limit span lengths.
- Determine the maximum level-ground span.
- Calculate the maximum horizontal spans for a wood structure.
- Apply the “ground line method” to structural analysis.
- Explain the factors involved in vertical span calculations.
- Identify the loading factors for H-frame structures.
- Analyze the impact of crossbraces on H-frame structures.
- Compare the benefits of various V-brace configurations.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
