F = f1 - GB * (Q1/(f1*Q2))
2
- a * ey * (t1+t3-t2) = -2432.7896
To solve the following equation:
The working stress F at tempature t1+t3, is given by the cubic equation
f2

(f2 - F) - GB = 6319246.35
we get f2 = 121.8959 Kg/cm

Max sag due to conductor = Wc*L / (8*Ten2) Sc= 3.2357
9 SAG DUE TO INSULATOR
From Fig 1, we get
Tension per insulator string = Ten2* r / Ni Teni1= 484.4558

Simplifying :
TP1 = (Wci*L/2) * U1 * Cos + Wi*U2*Cos - Teni1*U1*Sin = 862.3686
TP2 = Teni1*U1*Cos + Wci*(L/2)*U1*Sin + Wi*U2*Sin = 2275.2868

(TP1/TP2) = 0.3623

11 Height of conductor above ground 15.3000 m
Height of jack bus/equipment below conductor 8.3000 m
Minimum Phase to phase clearance = 4.0000 m
Total maximum sag of moose conductor = Sc+Si = Stot = 4.9969 m
