11kV line: 50 m to 55 m
Insulator
The voltage and span determine the minimum spacing of the conductors
Generally conductor spacing on the poles
Up to 400 V- at least 300mm
1000 V- 400mm
11 kV- 600mm
Spacing (m) = sqrt(d+(V/150)) , V= voltage in kV, d= sag in meters
70% should be added for safety factor.
Stay set should be provided at the first pole, at all poles set at an angle
and at line ends.

Choice of voltage
The cost and performance of the line depend , to a great extent, on the
line voltage.
An empirical formula for the optimum voltage is
P
L
V 5.5
1.6 100
Where L= Length of Line km
P=Power in km
V=voltage level in kV
The above formula gives primary estimate. The choice of most
economical voltage requires a detailed study of many technical and
economic aspect as well as the standard of any country

contd.
The above criteria for the selection of conductor size is applicable for
lines up to 220 kV. For EHV and UHV lines radio interference and
corona have to taken into consideration
For EHV lines and UHV lines bundled conductor are generally used.
Experiment has shown that a conductor selected on the basis of corona
and radio interference consideration would normally be thicker than the
one selected from the point of view of current carrying capacity
26
For high voltage line 200-400m span are generally used. For 400kV
350-400 m are used.
For river and ravine crossing exceptionally long span up to 800m have
been satisfactorily employed.
A transmission line can be single circuit or double circuit.
A double circuit line has high power transfer capability and higher
reliability.
Each double circuit line is designed for 75% of the line capacity.
Vertical, horizontal, triangular and L type configuration are commonly
used in transmission line
For single circuit horizontal, triangular, L type configuration are used
For double circuit, vertical one is most economical.

Insulation Design

The primary function is to shield the phase conductor from the lighting
strokes.
They are places above the phase conductor and are grounded at
every/ alternate tower.
The number of ground wires may be one or two.
The shielding angle of about 30o is considered to be adequate for
high voltage lines.
Tower Footing resistance should not exceed 10 ohm
The ground wire should be able to carry the maximum expected
lighting current, without undue heating.
it should have sufficient mechanical strength.
The size of the ground wire is generally decided on the basis of
mechanical strength.
