1.0 Introduction :
The tower types used in the industry are
1.0 Transmission towers
2.0 Telecommunication and broadcasting
towers
Why do we need transmission towers
Interconnection of scattered power generating
locations to the national grid and power
distribution requires transmission lines.
Tower Figures
Tower Figures
1. Tower height considered from ground level
Minimum ground clearance
Maximum sag of lowermost conductor
Height and Location of Ground Wires
2. Length of cross arms and horizontal spacing
between conductors

3. Tower width at base and top width
Tower base width to height taken in the range
of 2.4 to 4.0
Tower top width to base taken in the range of
1/3 to 1/3.5
4. Bracing pattern used in the tower configuration
Vertical Loads
Dead weight of tower structure
Vertical Loads due to conductors and ground
wire
Vertical Loads
Transverse Loads
Wind on conductors and ground wire
Transverse component of cable tension in case
of angle tower
Wind on tower body
Longitudinal Loads
Unbalance pull due to broken wire condition
Pull of conductors and ground wire in case of
dead-end tower.
