Draping Requirements for Low Voltage 500 mcm 3 conductor cables
Draping Requirements for Low Voltage 500 mcm 3 conductor cables
(OP)
Client is asking for existing tower modification to accept load from additional overhead conductors. I think that In order to properly determine loads I will need to know the properties of the conductors, and how much they should drape. I have some old guides on high voltage systems but they don't do the trick.
Cables are (3)-500 mcm copper 600 V
Span is about 100 ft
I will have to figure out ice load
Also, is there a cable producer on the web that provides a decent amount of physical property information?
