Section 1 Design
( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part l/Set 1 ) ( First Revision ) was adopted
by the Indian Standards Institution on 22 January 1985, after the draft
finalized by the Conductors and Acctsaories for Overhead Lines Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
0.3 This standard was first published in 1970. The revision of this stan-
dard has been undertaken to include the developments that have taken
place since the last publication of this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part l/Set 1 ) covers design of overhead power lines
up to and including 11 kV.
1.2 Protection and control of overhead power lines is not covered in this
code.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this code, the definitions given in IS : 1885 ( Part
32 ) - 197 It shall apply.
3. GENERAL

3.2 Before deciding the basic parameters of the line, information regard-
ing the total load, including future extensions, point of supply or area to be
covered, should be exchanged between the designer and distribution
authorities. On the basis of this load and the length of the line the designer
should predict the most economic system of voltage and conductor size.
3.3 For economical and practical reasons almost all present day power
stations in the country generate electrical power at three-phase 50 Hz ac,
while the transmission and distribution of power is done on 3-phase S-wire
at high voltages and J-phase 4-wire for voltages up to 650 volts.
Si CHOICE OF ROUTE
5.1 The proposed route of the line should be the shortest practicable
distance. The following areas should be avoided as far as possible:
5
IS I 5613 ( Pirt l/Set 1 ) - 1985
g) Difficdt crossings,
h) Natural hazards, and
j) Proximity to aerodromes.
5.1.1 Overhead lines should run away from the buildings containing
explosives.
6. CONDUCTORS
NOTE- Due to the shnrtage of copper and zinc in the country, it is recommend-
ed not to use copper and galvanized steel conductors. Attention is drawn to the
use of aluminized steel reinforced aluminium conductors and aluminium alloy
stranded conductors. Requirements for these types of conductors have also been
covered in the appropriate parts of IS : 398..

where
W = power loss per km per conductor in watts,
Z - line current in amperes, and
R = ac resistance per km per conductor of the line in ohms.

where
U = voltage drop per km in volts,
.Z = line current in amperes,
R = ac resistance per km per conductor of the line in ohms,
+ = angle of lag/lead in degrees, and
X = reactance per km per conductor of the line in ohms.
6.4.2 There are no fixed rules for spacing arrangement of overhead line
conductors. However, the following formula gives an economical spacing
of conductors:
D = 500 + 18 U + &
where
D = spacing in mm,
U = phase-to-phase voltage in kV, and
L = span length in m.
7. SAG-TENSION
7.1 In practice, for overhead line design, the general theory for sag-tension
is based on the fact that if a flexible wire of uniform weight is suspended.
at two points at the same level, it sags and assumes the shape of a catenary
curve. For short spans normally adopted for transmission and distribution
lines the catenary is very nearly a parabola and hence the sag is
calculated by the following formula:
where
S= sag in m,
w= weight of loaded conductor in kg per metre run,
I= span length in metres, and
T E maximum working tension in conductor in kg.

7.2.1 The wind pressure maps and temperature maps are given in Fig. 1
and Fig. 2 respectively.
7.3 It is necessary that loading factors should be determined for both the
above conditions.
7.3.1 Loading factor for wind is given by:
ql 2/ ws + WP
W
where
Ql = loading factor,
w = weight of unloaded conductor in kg per metre run, and
w1= wind load on conductor in kg/m.
