Hey there,
I would like to check with you guys how do substation/transmission engineers around the world calculate mechanical loads on anchor portals with uneven spans taking into account the effect of insulator chains.
Altought there are lots of data on how to calculate the loads for even...
Hello there, hope you guys are doing fine;
I've been working at substation eletromechanical design for some time and I've never seen an algebraic method for calculating unlevelled short spans with insulator chains (taken as concentrated loads) forces.
Have anyone of you seen some solution for...
Hey guys,
@jghrist actually, there's nothing directed towards the calcultaion on droppers per this standard and as it seems, this IEEE standard based most of the short circuit calculations on the CIGRÉ standard (Brochure nº 214).
@bacon4life yeah, it was a great improvement!
@7anoter4...
Hello there,
I've been working with electrical subestations design for a while and this question has been with me throughout the journey.
Here in Brazil it's quite common to have end-span droppers that look like the picture below.
I've never seen an equation or a method to deal with these...
