CHAPTER 5

GEOMENTRY OF THE TOWER

5.1. HEIGHT OF THE TOWER

Total height of the tower = h1 + h2 + h3 + h4

h1 = Minimum permissible ground clearance

= Minimum clearance + Maximum sag + Height of insulator

= 7 + 5.7 + 2.5

= 14.8 ≈ 15m

(cl =13.1, IS: 5613.2.1)

h2 = maximum sag

=5.04 × 1.04 (increase by 4%)

=5.7m

h3 = minimum clearance between two conductor

= 4.9× 2

= 9.8m ≈ 10m

(cl =7.3.1.1, IS: 5613.2.1)

h4 = vertical distance between earth and top conductor

= 4.2m ≈ 5m
(cl =13.2, IS: 5613.2.1)

Total height of the tower = (h1 + h3 + h4)

= 15 + 10 + 5

= 30m
