SAG TENSION CALCULATION FOR 220kV JACK BUS - TACSR

The Sag-Tension is calculated for the following

i) Jack bus-(Span length 68m)

The max proposed tension is 2000kg/conductor. The design ambient temperature is 50°C.
However for the calculation of SAG, the stress,tension at still air condition for various
temperatures are calculated and tabulated.similarly the stress, tension,deflection and swing
for various temperatures at full load wind condition are calculated and tabulated.
