Reduction of wind load on power line due to angle of wind

Reduction of wind load on power line due to angle of wind

Reduction of wind load on power line due to angle of wind

(OP)
NESC 252B.3 indicates you should reduce the wind load on a power line due to the angle of the wind to line. sag10 has no place to allow for that wind angle. Is this something to be concerned about? Thanks.

RE: Reduction of wind load on power line due to angle of wind

I am not familiar with that code, but wind can blow from any direction.

RE: Reduction of wind load on power line due to angle of wind

(OP)
Yes I know wind can blow from any direction, hence the provision in that standard. Other standards say the same thing - reduce wind according to the angle between the wind and the line. Other overhead software like Poles 'n' Wires does allow for the angle of wind to line, but I can't seen any equivalent in sag10. Just wondering if any other users of sag10 have any suggestion, or do you not worry about it.
