Climatic Conditions
Everyday Temperature Minimum Temperature Maximum Temperature Conductor Maximum Temperature Ground wire 32 degree 0 degree 75 degree 53 degree

Maximum tensions
Maximum tensions are based up on following At 0 degree with 36 % full wind pressure or At 32 degree with full wind pressure whichever is more stringent

The height of Lowest cross arm may be fixed at 19.85 M from ground to suit the existing sag template for normal tower.

Base dimensions for 9M Extension Tower may be fixed as 7.0 M Length of Bottom cross arm dimension 5950 mm as per the clearance diagram may be reduced to the maximum possible.
The design of tower shall be as per IS 802 ( Part 1, 2,3,4 ) 1995
