Good reference for OHL mechanical calculations

[radug]

Hello,

I am looking for a good reference of high voltage overhead lines mechanical calculations: sag-tension, aeolian vibrations, etc.

Preferably something with detailed "step by step" examples of calculations.


Thanks.

RUS has several relevant publications including The Mechanics of Overhead Distribution Line Conductors available for download at

alehman and jghrist, thank you both. I will buy the southwire manual.

If you are doing line design frequently, and prior to using a full-blown design package such as PLS CAD, also consider

http://www.sag10.com/

and, of course, as recommended before, the must have Southwire Overhead Conductor Manual
