Properties for 1.68" 2032 MCM 72/7 ACSR
Properties for 1.68" 2032 MCM 72/7 ACSR
(OP)
Can someone provide me linear or non linear properties for 1.68" 2032 MCM 72/7 ACSR Conductor to use in PLS CADD?
I found properties for MOCKINGBIRD which is having 2034.5 kcmil. But for that conductor also I could not find details for coefficient of linear expansion and Modulus of elasticity.
I also need properties for 1/2" ALUMOWELD earthwire.
Thanks
Nitin Patel

You can also call PLS-CADD support and see if they have the properties.

There was no name for it in SAG10.
Power Line Systems has a tech note on their web page that tells how to input data into conductor files to get sag and tension results that correspond to SAG10.

In plscadd we have to indicate temperature at which stress strain data collected. Can you give some idea what could be temperature for data furnished?

You may also have to consider Elevated Temperature Creep for this conductor. There is such a high percentage of aluminum vs steel in the conductor it is susceptible to extra creep. The trick is to know the temperature history of the conductor over it's life. PLS-CADD does not address ETC so to take it into account, you need SAG10 from Southwire which does have a method to calculate the extra temperature you need to put into the wire.
