9. INTRODUCTION

It is the continued SP Energy Networks’ aspiration that all overhead networks will be suitably storm
resilient, lines constructed to this specification will fulfil those requirements providing reliable and
economical network performance.

This specification has been prepared to provide a design of high voltage overhead lines up to 33kV
suitable for application within SP Energy Networks’ licensed areas. They incorporate features of
previously proven specifications, particularly with regard to conductors, maximum working tensions,
span lengths and factors of safety.
st
All overhead lines erected after 31 January 2003 are required to comply with ESQCR. Overhead
lines designed and constructed in accordance with this specification are deemed to comply with
ESQCR.

Any new or proposed overhead line not complying with this specification shall, in each case, be
subject to Approval by the Head of Engineering Design and Standards or their nominated
representative.

Approval will normally be sought during the planning stage for the construction of any new overhead
line.

10. DESIGN DATA

10.1 Design Basis

The design basis for this specification mirrors that in ENA TS 43-40, utilising an empirical approach.

10.2 Conductors

The tension of any line conductor at a temperature of -5.6ºC and subjected to a design wind and ice
loading appropriate to the environment in which the line will be situated, shall ensure that the
conductor will have a minimum factor of safety of 2.5 over the rated breaking strength of the
conductor.

The basic span length is specific to the conductor and environment in which the line will be situated
and will be specified in the relevant appendix.

10.3 Crossarms

The minimum factor of safety on all crossarm assemblies and associated steelwork is 2.5 in a Normal
Weather Environment and up to 3.5 in a Severe Weather Environment on the yield stress of the steel.

10.4 Supports

The strength of supports is derived from formulae contained in BS EN 14229.

The stresses created in intermediate supports are bending stresses due to windage on conductors.
All “in-line” intermediate and section poles have a minimum factor of safety of 3.5 in all Weather
Environments.

The stresses created in stayed supports are crippling stresses due to stay tension, steelwork and
vertical conductor loads acting at the pole top. All angle and terminal poles have a minimum factor of
safety of 2.5 in a Normal Weather Environment and up to 3.5 in a Severe Weather Environment.

Pole top horizontal loading has also to be maintained within specified limits to prevent pole top
splitting. Poles shall be of a sufficient diameter to withstand the above-mentioned stresses. Therefore
the minimum pole grade allowable in appendix 1 only shall be “Medium”, all other appendices require
a minimum pole grade of stout to BS EN 14229 for the purpose of this specification. The pole top
diameter may exceed the minimum pole top diameter quoted in BS EN 14229. This more onerous
requirement should be taken into account when selecting poles.

For Pinus Sylvestris, the average ultimate extreme fibre stress value used for all pole calculations is
53.3N/mm². The average modulus of elasticity fibre stress is 10054N/mm².

In all cases, the appropriate pole strength has been calculated using a maximum taper of
11.25mm/m.

10.5 Stays

The minimum factor of safety on stay assemblies is 2.5 in a Normal Weather Environment and up to
3.5 in a Severe Weather Environment based on the minimum failing load of the assembly.

Installation depths shall be specified during the design stage. Further guidance is available in OHL-
21-001.

11. MATERIALS

Except where otherwise specified all materials used in the construction of lines to this specification
shall comply with current British Standards and ENA Technical Specifications as appropriate. Only
Approved materials shall be used.

12. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ERECTION OF LINES

12.1 Structure Type and Capabilities

Table 1 of appendices 1 to 6 contained within this specification provides details of the various
structure types, limiting span length and angle of deviation detailed under gradient conditions as
applicable, together with the appropriate SP Energy Networks’ Drawing Reference numbers. The
maximum span lengths indicated take account of conductor clashing and steelwork strength
limitations.

Poles, which are subject to uplift at -5.6ºC, shall be sectioned.

12.2 Wood Poles

Only poles specified in OHL-06-001 shall be used. In all circumstances, wood poles shall comply with
BS EN 14229 and ENA TS 43-88. They shall be supplied drilled and scarfed. Pole blocks shall be
fabricated to ENA TS 43-91 Drawing Reference 439103 Type 2 and Drawing Reference 439112 Type
1 & 2 as required.

12.2.1 Section, Section Angle and Terminal Supports

The gradient limitations quoted in Table 1 of appendices 1 to 6 are derived from the conductor vertical
load, which can be accommodated by the crossarm and is expressed as a downpull gradient
measured between adjacent pole tops.

The gradient limitations quoted in Table 1 refer to downpull gradients on each side of the support and
therefore it is acceptable to summate gradients. The gradients limitations quoted in Table 1 are
therefore permitted on both sides of the supports. Terminal supports are designed to allow for the
appropriate value on one side of the structure only.

The uplift limits on section, section angle and terminal structures shall be taken as being the same as
for downpull detailed in Table 1 of the relevant appendices.

Specification for 11kV and 33kV Overhead Lines OHL-03-099
of Unearthed Construction on Issue 2
Single and “H” Type Wood Poles

12.2.2 Supports

For section and intermediate structures the maximum downpull shall be no greater than an equivalent
gradient of 1:10 to the horizontal plane on either side of the structure.

β ≤ 191º

1:10* 1:10*

For hillside applications, the maximum gradient quoted in Table 1 of appendices 1 to 6 for
intermediate supports is limited by the method of conductor attachment and is permitted only where
angle α ≥ 166º and where angle β ≤ 191º. Where these limitations cannot be satisfied a section
structure should be employed.

β ≤ 191º

1:4 α ≥ 166º

For terminal structures the maximum downpull shall be equivalent to a gradient of 1:5 to the horizontal
plane on one side of the structure only.

It may be impractical to strictly adhere to these uplift and downpull constraints which can result in
abnormally high structures being designed. This can introduce other risks that would be preferable to
avoid. Designs that do not comply with the requirements set out above shall be subject to approval by
SP Energy Networks’ Lead Engineer for Circuits Development and/or the Head of Engineering Design
and Standards or their nominated representative.

Approval shall, where practical, be granted during the planning stage of the overhead line design.

Single and “H” Type Wood Poles

12.3 Pole Strut Loadings

The strut loading imposed on poles due to vertical components of stay and conductor tensions
including any auxiliary equipment at specified angles of line deviation and ground slope conditions are
specified in the relevant tables of appendices 1 to 6.

For all single pole 11kV structures an allowance of 600kg has been included for the attachment of
auxiliary equipment.

During construction, section poles may be utilised as temporary terminals. Where a single pole
section structure is required for this situation, the pole must be graded such that it is capable of a
terminal load condition as detailed in pole strut loading tables of the relevant appendices.

Temporary terminal stays will be fitted in accordance with Approved staying methods and placed at
the ends of the crossarm and the stay anchors positioned no closer to the pole than two pole lengths.
2
This may require to be increased significantly where conductors in excess of 100mm are employed
to limit the loading applied to the pole and crossarm assembly.

12.4 Wind Span and Foundation Requirements

Pole foundations shall be designed to withstand the overturning moment due to windage on
conductors, poles and insulators. Foundation design shall also take account of the rupturing capacity
of the ground. In excavating foundation holes, the minimum amount of soil shall be disturbed in order
to take advantage of the load bearing value of the virgin ground as far as possible. Backfilled soil shall
be compacted using hand or mechanical compaction methods, not more than 150mm of loose soil
shall be returned between each ramming operation.

All structures shall have a minimum of one foundation block fitted at a minimum of 500mm below
ground level. Where an angle of deviation exists, the top foundation block shall be on the inside of the
angle.

Where the quality of backfill material is unsuitable it will be necessary to replace the excavated
material with a suitable imported backfill, however an Approved soil additive, e.g. Permasoil, may be
used to improve the quality of poor soil.

The Engineer (i.e SP Energy Networks appointed design engineer or delivery engineer) shall inspect
holes and, where deemed necessary, additional kicking blocks or bog shoes as detailed in SP Energy
Networks’ Drawing Reference SP2146665 (Single Pole Bog Shoe) or SP2146682 (H Pole Bog Shoe)
shall be installed.

In addition, it may be necessary to install wind stays in accordance with SP Energy Networks’
Drawing Reference SP4000336 to exposed sections of line.

All foundations shall have a minimum factor of safety of 2.5 in a Normal Weather Environment and up
to 3.5 in a Severe Weather Environment.

The values for wind span capabilities for unstayed intermediate and section structures quoted in the
appendices have been calculated using a soil bearing capacity of 314 (kN/m²).

The appendices also detail the planting depths appropriate to the various pole lengths.

12.5 Failure Containment Requirements

All lines shall include supports, designed to contain a cascade failure, separated by not more than
1000m. Supports, which are considered adequate to provide failure containment, are:

(i) Any Section Structure (minimum grade stout as defined in ENA TS 43-88).

(ii) Any Straight Line H Pole Section Structure.

(iii) Any Section Angle Structure, which requires to be fitted with twin-splayed stays, with a

20. APPENDIX 7 – INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CONDUCTORS INCORPORATING


OPTICAL FIBRES

20.1 Introduction

This appendix has been prepared to provide a design for 33kV overhead lines suitable for installation
on SP Energy Networks’ network, utilising optical fibre communication cores embedded within the
phase conductors.

The optical fibres are enclosed within two separate stainless steel tubes in a phase conductor. This
appendix is complementary to the equivalent standard conductor installation requirements, and
should be read in conjunction with it.

This appendix details the specific stringing requirements for:

200mm² AAAC Poplar Equivalent OPPC (L34)

300mm² AAAC Upas Equivalent OPPC (L36)

20.2 General

When compared to a standard overhead line construction, lines incorporating optical fibres shall have
the centre phase conductors substituted with an equivalent OPPC.

All overhead line components and design parameters shall comply with the requirements of the
standard conductor as specified in the relevant appendix with the exception of those specified in the
following sections.

There are specific installation techniques, which require to be employed when installing lines
incorporating optical fibres within the conductors. Supplementary guidance for the erection of OPPC,
to be used in conjunction with conventional conductor installation guidance, is documented in OHL-
18-022.

20.2.1 OPPC

The maximum working tension of an equivalent OPPC is designed to be the same as for a standard
AAAC conductor. However, due to the difference in physical construction of the OPPC when compared
with standard conductor, the maximum sag of the OPPC will be marginally less than standard
conductor, therefore the maximum design sag for the standard conductor should be used when
profiling as indicated in Table 2 of the relevant appendix.

20.2.2 Crossarms, Supports and Stays

As the loadings for the equivalent OPPC are almost identical to the standard conductor, structure
sizing, stay strength and their deployment, and crossarm sizing shall be in accordance with the
corresponding standard conductor appendix.

of Unearthed Construction on Issue 2
Single and “H” Type Wood Poles

20.3 Materials

Except where otherwise specified, all materials used in the construction of lines to this appendix shall
comply with current British Standards, ENA Technical Specifications and international standards
where appropriate. Only Approved materials shall be used.

20.3.1 OPPC

The optical conductors physical and electrical parameters considered by this specification are detailed
in OHL-03-096. Each conductor shall incorporate two stainless steel buffer tubes each containing a
minimum of 12 single mode optical fibres.

20.3.2 Vibration Damper

As for standard 33kV line construction, no vibration dampers are normally required to be employed on
the OPPC.

20.3.3 Suspension Components

33kV polymeric post insulators and armour grip suspension clamps shall be used at all intermediate
insulator positions. The proposed suspension arrangements are not designed to take any uplift load.
Where the structure is deemed to be in uplift, the line should be sectioned and tension support
components employed.

OPPC:

20.4 Optical Splice Enclosures

At OPPC in-line splice and terminal positions, only Approved fibre optic splice enclosures may be
installed. These fittings comprise of a rigid stand-off composite insulator and one or two fibre optic
splice chambers where appropriate.

At terminal positions these will be mounted on two H Pole carryover channels as detailed in SP
Energy Networks’ Drawing Reference SP4008885 and secured using two transformer clamping plates
as detailed in ENA TS Drawing Reference 439529.

At in-line splice positions, on “H” Pole section structures, the unit will be mounted on the centre phase
conductor section strap. On Single pole section structures, the unit will be mounted on the outside of
the angle on the section crossarm. This component shall be substituted for items 11 & 13 of the
general assembly drawings.

They will be located on section and terminal structures as indicated on SP Energy Networks’ Drawing
Reference SP4019865.

In order to prevent damage to the stainless steel buffer tubes containing the optical fibres the line
conductor should be dressed directly from the dead end fitting directly to the splice enclosures and
should be installed in such a manner to ensure the minimum bending radius of the conductor is not
compromised. Only competent persons who have been appointed by SP Energy Networks shall carry
out the splicing of the optical fibres.

20.4.1 Electrical Connections

At terminal positions where a load carrying electrical connection is required, for example, to a cable
termination, these should be connected to the splice enclosure jumper by one or two 3-bolt parallel
groove clamps. (See also general arrangement drawings and associated component listings). Parallel
groove clamps should be used for all electrical connections associated with the OPPC.

It is essential that all conductors are thoroughly cleaned using a suitable wire brush and an Approved
conductive paste should be applied to the conductor prior to the application of the parallel groove
clamps. The clamps should be tightened with a suitable torque wrench to the manufacturer’s
recommended torque. Compression fittings must not be applied to the OPPC conductor. At splice
enclosures, the termination connecting rod should be cleaned using 150-grade abrasive paper and an
Approved conductive paste should be applied to the conductor and connecting rod prior to the
application of the parallel groove clamp(s).

20.5 Earthing

As is normal practise, all metalwork including optical splice enclosures on all structures shall be
bonded and/or earthed in accordance with OHL-25-001.

A connection hole is provided on the base plate of the optical termination unit to which the earth-
bonding lug should be connected.

20.6 Optical Fibre Cable Connections

The fibre optic underground cables shall be secured every 500mm down the pole and protected at the
bottom of the pole by cable guards 3.0m long sunk 150mm into the ground.

23. APPENDIX 8 – INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR HORSE OPGW

This appendix has been prepared to provide a design for an OPGW conductor to replace the existing
“Hardex” communication network on existing 33kV overhead lines structures.

This appendix details the specific stringing requirements for a 70mm² AACSR Horse Equivalent
OPGW.

23.1 General

Where there is a requirement to modernise the existing “Hardex” communication network, OPGW
may be employed in accordance with the following requirements.

There are specific installation techniques, which require to be employed when installing conductors
incorporating optical fibres. Supplementary guidance for the erection of OPPC, to be used in
conjunction with conventional conductor installation guidance, is documented in OHL-18-022.

23.1.1 OPGW

The maximum working tension of an equivalent OPGW is designed to be the same as for a standard
AACSR conductor. However, due to the difference in physical construction of the OPGW when
compared with standard conductor, the maximum sag of the OPGW will be marginally less than
standard conductor, therefore the maximum design sag for the OPGW conductor may be used when
profiling as indicated in Table 2 of this appendix.

See Section 12.13.1 for guidance on minimum height of conductors.

Note: Land usage may have changed since the original line was profiled and obstacles may have been
erected which could infringe on the basic requirements set out in Section 12.13.1, therefore it is
recommended this is given full consideration.

23.1.2 Supports and Stays

As the loadings for the OPGW are not significantly greater than the “Hardex” communication cable,
there are no requirements to alter existing structures.

23.2 Materials

Except where otherwise specified, all materials used in the construction of lines to this appendix shall
comply with current British Standards, ENA Technical Specifications and international standards
where appropriate. Only Approved materials shall be used.

23.2.1 OPGW

The OPGW considered by this appendix is detailed in OHL-03-096. Each conductor shall incorporate
two stainless steel buffer tubes each containing a minimum of 12 single mode optical fibres.

23.2.2 Vibration Damper

No vibration dampers are normally required to be employed on the OPGW.

23.2.3 Suspension Components

The OPGW shall be supported at all intermediate positions using a standard pole outrigger bracket
(ENA TS Drawing Reference 431403) in conjunction with a galvanised steel suspension link
connected to an Armour Grip Suspension Clamp.

Specification for 11kV and 33kV Overhead Lines OHL-03-099
of Unearthed Construction on Issue 2
Single and “H” Type Wood Poles

The pole bolt securing the outrigger bracket should be positioned 225mm above the profiled OPGW
position to allow for the suspension components.

The proposed suspension arrangements are not designed to take any uplift load. Where the structure
is deemed to be in uplift, the line should be sectioned and tension support components employed.

23.2.4 Horse Equivalent Tension String Components

From the BS 3288 Ref 14/88 eyebolt on the structure, the following components are required for
termination of the OPGW:

1. Ball/ Hook (BS Ref. 15/ 32).


2. Socket/ clevis (BS Ref.15/ 84).
3. Single Link (length 400mm)
4. Thimble/clevis (BS Ref. 15/86)
5. Protection Rods
6. Helical dead-end

Items 4 - 7 are generally supplied in a kit.

Item Part name Q'ty Load Rating


1 Protection rods 1 70 kN
2 Dead end 1 70 kN
3 Thimble 1 100 kN
4 400mm Link 1 70 kN

4 3 1

2 Cable

23.2.5 Connection to Splice Enclosures

At OPGW intermediate and terminal splice positions an optical fibre splice enclosure is required to
facilitate the splicing of the optical fibres.

The optical splice enclosure shall be fixed above anti-climber level and secured using two 10mm x
75mm galvanised coach bolts.

At terminal positions the Fibre Optic underground cables shall be secured every 500mm down the
pole and protected at the bottom of the pole by cable guards 3.0m long sunk 150mm into the ground.

23.3 Conductor Design/Erection Sags and Tensions

Conductor design sags and tensions are given in Tables 2 & 3 of this appendix. The original lines
incorporating “Hardex” communications cables were profiled using a “Wolf” Sag template (normally
50°C) The design sag of the Horse OPGW replacement at an assumed maximum ambient
temperature of 45°C whilst greater than the “Hardex” is equal to or slightly less than the Wolf Profile
used when the line was originally planned and hence the Horse OPGW may be strung as a direct
replacement for the “Hardex” communications’ cable.

The erection tensions given in Table 3 of this appendix are based on the conductor design tension,
but have been subjected to an over tension equivalent to a -13°C temperature shift to allow for
bedding in of the strands and long term creep of the conductor during the life of the line. No pre-
tensioning or other adjustments is necessary during the erection of the line.

23.4 Location of OPGW Attachment Points on Structures.

The attachment positions for OPGW on all structures will be as follows:

23.4.1 Straight Section, Intermediate and Pin Angle Structures

The Outrigger Bracket (ENA TS Drawing Reference 431403) shall be installed:

1365mm below phase conductors for spans up to 107m.


1675mm below phase conductors for spans up to 152m.

23.4.2 Angle Section and Terminal Structures

The Eye Bolt (ENA TS Drawing Reference 439603) shall be installed:

1520mm below phase conductors for spans up to 107m.


1830mm below phase conductors for spans up to 152m

23.5 Bonding and Earthing of OPGW and Components

As is common with all metalwork on structures constructed to this specification, at optical splice
enclosure positions, the splice enclosure will be required to be bonded in accordance with Section
12.16.

The OPGW shall also be bonded to all steelwork on the structure. In addition it shall be earthed at
intervals of approximately 400m in accordance with Section 12.16.
