Figure 1: General Components of Overhead Line
The overhead lines shall be designed for redundant 33kV, 3-phase power transmission
lines starting from CPF, Main Substation. The line wire shall be designed according to IEC
61089 (round wire concentric lay overhead conductors).
The feed in will be realized by HV underground power cable coming from the disconnect
switch installed last tower or pole located near battery limit of CPF. The connection
between the last tower or pole and the 33kV switchgear shall be adequately sized XLPE
insulated cable for aboveground & underground installation.
The overhead line towers are constructed from single prefabricated poles. All towers will
be supported by stay wires. Each tower will be equipped with long crossarms including
earth wire holder preassembled. At crossarms the isolator chains will be installed as
tension or suspension.
The position of each tower or pole shall be fixed in such way, that its center of gravity is
situated above the center of the foundation block. Pole or tower foundations have to be
designed, erected and tested according IEC 61773 (Overhead lines - Testing of
foundations for structures).
The overhead lines are connected to the earthing system on the first tower and the last
tower at each location. The other towers or poles are connected to the earthing system
over the earthing wire installed on the top of the towers or poles. And all towers or poles
are to be earthed by dedicated earthing rods and branch point is also to be earthed.
For installation of wires the general rule is to fix the wire on one end and pull to the
required sag level according to environmental condition. The required sag levels shall be
in accordance with to calculate stress data. The wire sag depends on wire temperature
and wire specification data.
Power sytem study (short circuit, load flow, motor starting, etc.) and transient stability
study including OHL shall be done by ETAP. But special design (sag and tension
calculation, etc.) for only OHL shall be done by dedicated software (PLS CADD)
