LAND CATEGORY In determining the wind loading on structures and cables, the appropriate land category shall be selected for the conditions when applying wind loads in calculations. The categories are: LC1 Valleys, ridges, escarpments and suburban coastal regions or any line where increased security is required. LC2 Normal rural conditions adjacent to crops, scattered trees or undulating ground and rural coastal regions. LC3 Built up suburbs and townships, level wooded country.
Calculation of wind load is based on a nominal working wind speed of 41m/s. For the permissible method the wind load on overhead conductors, cables and poles are outlined in table 1:

Poles (steel edge) Poles (concrete face) Poles (steel edge) Poles (concrete face) Conductors (all) Broad Band Cable Table 1 Where span length exceeds 150m, a span reduction factor (SRF) shall be applied. This must be determined in accordance with HB C(b)1. 6. POLES 6.1 General Poles shall be selected such that the static (permanent) and dynamic (wind) load combination is within safe limits. The Stobie Pole consists of two rolled steel sections tapered from a closed spacing at the top to a maximum spacing just below the top of the footing and reducing to a minimum spacing at the bottom. The space between the sections is filled with concrete and the steel sections are tied together through concrete with bolts spaced at suitable intervals. The steel sections are considered to carry the full bending and compressive loads. The concrete and bolts provide restraint against buckling of the steel section under compressive load. The bolts also serve to transmit shear loads from the steel to the concrete. 6.2 Design Information Strength in the strong direction is limited to a maximum of 4.5 times the weak direction strength. Wind forces shall be selected accordingly to the worst terrain category likely during the design life of the pole. If the wind load exceeds the weak direction strength by more than 50% then these poles shall be temporarily guyed if the conductors are not strung.
Conductor/pole heights less than 11m Conductor/pole heights more than 11m, but less than 20m For conductor heights less than 20m

Steel sections used are current production structural shapes to AS3678 and the steel rolled to AS3679 - Grade 250 (Corresponding to 250Mpa ultimate yield stress). Designations are: Tapered Flange Beams (TFB) Universal Beams (UB) Universal Columns (UC) Top of footing level is nominally 150mm below ground level. In built up areas and in underground work, the footing level may be 300mm below ground level. 6.3 Pole Selection Poles are commonly described by the duty they perform. They can be termed line, angle, deadend, brace and transformer poles. Each individual pole must be examined in relation to its duty to determine that a pole of adequate strength in strong and weak directions is used without the use of guy wires. 6.4 Loading Parameters on Poles The design loadings reflected to the pole top in both strong and weak direction, should not exceed the strength of the pole in either direction. In addition to the above, the combined loading (K) of the pole should not exceed the factor given in the table below. The combination loading (K) is expressed as: K where = fs Fs + fw Fw
fs = applied load in strong direction Fs = poles design strength in strong direction fw = applied load in weak direction Fw = poles design strength in weak direction
K Factors shall be selected from the following table. Condition Sustained load conditions, without wind Maintenance or erection condition (allow 20% of maximum wind loadings) Short Duration Load conditions 1. All poles 1 deg C with no wind At 15 deg C plus wind 2. Line or angle pole. 3. Dead-end pole (Temporary or permanent). K Factor 1.0 1.0

Where conductors provide constraint for a dead-end pole, ie at tee-off positions, the wind on the pole concrete face and tee-off conductor span may be reduced by up to 50% (depending on the level of constraint) when calculating fw. Strengths of commonly used poles are listed in Appendix B. 6.5 Longitudinal Wind The assessment of the pole strength for wind blowing along the line is a difficult assessment and generally beyond the scope of a basic design process. The significance of the along line wind will depend on the location of the pole, the size of the pole and along line stiffness of the poles and conductor. Many Stobie poles will not be self-supporting and will require the interaction with the conductor to be structurally adequate. Experience gained on transmission lines built throughout South Australia over a 50 year period has demonstrated good performance for wind along the line using the standard methods of design provided the crossarms and extension pieces are capable of resisting some basic longitudinal loads generated by wind on the pole. However, this does not guarantee that the same level of security has been achieved in the transverse and longitudinal direction for all poles. As a minimum, it is recommended that for poles over 12 m total length where the wind on the pole exceeds the capacity, a longitudinal load equivalent to 50% of the published ETSA load (working) on the pole is a minimum design load to be resisted by any component connecting the pole to the conductors. This load should be shared between each of the conductors. This along line load is not required to be applied to the pole to determine adequacy in the direction along the line. For poles where the conductor does not deviate, the pole capacity need only be checked against strength in the transverse (strong) direction provided the ratio of strong to weak strength does not exceed 4.5 to 1. The designer should give individual consideration to every pole and make some assessment on the effect of wind in the direction along the line and how the pole is supported. Use of a previous successful standard pole/conductor/crossarm/span length arrangement is considered a reasonable assessment criterion for a basic line design. ETSA Utilities may request that the design is given a more sophisticated assessment by an independent designer. 6.6 Standard Location of Poles Poles shall be located in positions which meet the requirements of Network Directive ND-P1 (re-printed in Appendix C)

FOOTINGS 7.1 General Poles shall be selected such that they can withstand loads without the assistance of guywires. The footing selection shall also be based on the correct assessment of the soil type. 7.2 Soil Types Soils are grouped into three classes, A, B, and C as follows; Class A Gravel, compacted sand and rock soils not subject to large variations in volume with moisture content, which offer appreciable resistance to boring and which remain stable after boring. Note: If the excavation is in rock, the hole should be just large enough to take the pole at the recommended depth, and no reinforcement is necessary in the concrete. Class B Class C 7.3 Soils subject to large variations in volume with changing moisture content. Soils which offer little cohesion, ie clay. Low bearing soil. Requires caisson to support sides during excavation. Examples are swamps, saturated soil and drift sands.
Footing Types The footing type shall be selected from the ETSA Utilities Construction Manual (Drawing E1800 series). Alternative footing arrangements may be used if certified by an appropriately
qualified civil engineer.

The types are: (1) Full strength (a). In Situ (b) Two Block (c) Cylindrical (d) Deep Type Unformed Footings The Unformed footing is acceptable where it can be certified by an appropriatley qualified civil engineer that loads on the pole will not exceed the strength of the pole and cause movement. An unformed footing may be used when : a) a pole is not to be loaded at more than 50% of its strong direction strength, or b) exceed half the design factor, ie 1.5 for terminal pole equates to 0.75. An unformed footing may NOT be used when for a terminal pole. 7.4 Materials Concrete for footings shall have a minimum compressive strength of 12 MPa at 7 days and 20 MPa at 28 days. A reinforcing cage must be used for all transmission poles.

Formers Formers shall be used for cored footings. Formers are numbered on size order from 0 to U5, where 0 is the smallest. Refer to ETSA Utilities WC series drawings for former dimensions.
7.6
Footing Orientation All pole footings shall be orientated correctly in relation to the centre line of the mains, and shall be positioned so that the pole will have the direction of the resultant forces acting along the strong direction of the pole.

CONDUCTORS 8.1 Definitions for Conductor Tensions Sustained Load means the tension in the conductor and applied to the pole at a temperature which is the mean of the winter season. This load is considered to be applied with no wind. Winter Mean Temperature (Sustained Loads) 9 deg C 11 deg C 14 deg C ST T9 T 11 T 14
Zone 1 (South East) Zone 2 (Central - Metro Areas) Zone 3 (Northern)
Everyday Load means the tension in the conductor at a temperature which is the mean of the twelve month period. This Load is considered to be applied with no wind. Yearly Mean Temperature (Everyday Loads) 13 deg C 16 deg C 20 deg C EDT T 13 T 16 T 20
Zone 1 (South East) Zone 2 (Central - Metro Areas) Zone 3 (Northern)
Short Duration Load means the tension in the conductor and applied to the pole in the most severe of the following conditions: (a) or (b) A conductor temperature of +15 deg C with the maximum wind pressure on the projected area of the conductor. A conductor temperature equal to the average minimum winter temperature in still air conditions (+ 1 deg C)
Minimum Sag occurs in the conductor at a temperature of 1 deg C in still air. Maximum Sag occurs in the conductor at a temperature of: 50 C 11kV radial lines in rural areas only 80 C 11kV backbone feeder sections, 33kV in rural and metropolitan areas. 100 C all 66kV lines, unless otherwise specified.

8.2
General Vibration induced into the line shall be limited by careful selection of a tension at which the conductor operates for the majority of its design life to ensure that the fatigue endurance limit of the conductor wires is not reached.
8.3
Tension The design conductor tension under the everday load condition is that the horizontal tension shall be no greater than the percentage of its calculated breaking load as derived from HB C(b)1. Under the short duration load, the tangential tension in the conductor should not exceed 50% of its calculated breaking load. It must be stressed that this is a maximum tension which should be used to avoid damage to the conductor over its expected service life. Lesser tensions may be used accordingly to pole capacities or other considerations. Design constants for bare conductors are contained in Appendix A
8.4
Side Swing All designs must include a check to ensure that the conductor will not swing, under the influence of wind, outside the requirements of the Electricity Act and Regulations. This design shall be checked at the conditions stated in clause 2 and 3, eg for rural application in terrain category 2, - T50 + 500pa wind.
8.5
Measurements of As-Built Condition ETSA Utilities Compliance Inspector shall have at all reasonable times access to the work site, and shall have the power at all reasonable times, to inspect, examine, and test materials and workmanship of the works during its manufacture or installation. Measurement Sheets are to be completed by the Contractor throughout the progress of the works. The Measurement Sheets shall be submitted with the Certificate of Practical Completion. Measurement Sheets shall be in accordance with Appendix E. Where tests are performed i.e. earth stake resistance readings, they shall be recorded in accordance with the Testing Standard (TS 105) and submitted with the Certificate of Practical Completion.

All new power lines constructed must conform to the Network Directive, ND J4, Construction of New Power Lines. A copy of ND J4 can be found in Appendix D. 9.3 Bushfire and Non-Bushfire Risk Areas The Network Directive, ND J4, specifies the construction requirements for Non-Bushfire Risk Areas (NBFRA), Bushfire Risk Areas (BFRA) and High Bushfire Risk Areas (HBFRA). The following table reiterates and expands on these requirements for 11 kV applications. APPLICATION OF 11 kV OVERHEAD CONSTRUCTION TYPES * NBFRAs of Adelaide Rural Backbones Rural Spurs Metro Area & Feeder Ties Standard Construction Open wire Open wire Open wire Alternative Construction CCT (IUC) CCT (IUC) ABC or CCT (IUC) * Table to be read in conjunction with Network Directive ND J4. Refer to Section 4 of this standard for definitions. 9.4 Corrosion Zones and High Pollution Zones Standards for 11, 33 & 66 kV constructions in corrosion zone areas and high pollution areas may vary from those standards that generally apply. These variations of standards can be found throughout the E drawings, eg E1017, HV Insulators, in the Overhead Construction E drawing manual. Other construction drawings show alternatives for high corrosion/pollution. The locations of the States corrosion zones are shown in Appendix F, the Atmospheric Corrosion Map of South Australia. Note, the areas defined as Very Severe Zones are regarded as the ETSA Utilities Corrosion Zone Areas. The pollution zones of the State are the same as the corrosion zones, plus, lines constructed near the coast* and any area subject to heavy atmospheric contamination. This map is intended to illustrate general areas that may be prone to corrosion or pollutants. Where additional areas are known to be corrosive or have high pollution due to local conditions, appropriate construction standards must be specified.

6.0 DIRECTIVE 6.1 All distribution lines erected for ETSA Utilities must be designed and constructed in accordance with the Electricity Act, amended Regulations and the South Australian Distribution Code. 6.2 ETSA Utilities preferred construction method is Bare overhead for HV throughout South Australia. These lines will be designed and constructed in accordance with TS107. ETSA Utilities preferred construction method is ABC overhead for LV throughout South Australia. These lines will be designed and constructed in accordance with TS107. Triangulated construction should be used for HV in the BFRA and HBFRA of the State. Other standard overhead construction methods that ETSA Utilities employ will be CC, CCT & ABC for HV in the HBFRAs and BFRAs. It must be demonstrated that the benefits exceed the initial higher cost to use these construction methods. The benefits to be considered are Customer funding of additional cost and operation and maintenance costs (eg vegetation clearance). The construction method chosen must provide the lowest possible whole of life costs after considering, design, construction, vegetation clearance, operation and maintenance costs of the supply line. Future costs will be Net Present Valued using the current ETSA Utilities practice. Underground HV and LV mains will be installed in Local Council designated underground mains areas. They will be designed and installed in accordance with TS085, TS087 and TS100. Electricity Supply lines that supply strategic loads (eg major communities, emergency services and essential services) in the HBFRA which require electricity during FDL 3 conditions and satisfy following criteria can be left energised: a) b) constructed to transmission voltage design standards eg bare 11kV constructed to 33kV separation and clearances; and/or fully covered electricity distribution systems i) ii) iii) iv) insulated underground services; LV ABC with covered LV isolators; neutral screen LV services or other insulated LV lines; 11kV CCT or ABC conductor with no exposed live parts (The CMEN conductor of a CCT system and the Current Limiting Arcing Horns will for this purpose, not be considered a live part).
6.3
6.4 6.5
6.6
6.7
6.8
For an electricity supply line to be constructed or reconstructed, to be left energised under FDL 3 conditions, requires the approval of General Manager Networks or nominee.
6.9
The construction of a new transmission line that will operate at 33kV or greater is subject to the provisions of the Development Act 1993 and the amended Development Regulations. The approval of this new transmission line may require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. Refer to Procedures NGQP 315 and NGQP 663. High Load Corridors (designated roads and highways to facilitate the movement of high loads through out the State) will have a minimum clearance between the carriageway and conductors of 9 metres. Major Loads will be supplied in a accordance with Annex D of NGQP 620. All HV & LV constructions arrangements must be in accordance with ETSA Utilities EDrawings. Approval is required from the Network Standards Manager before any of the following are specified and erected on the same structure: same voltage HV arrangements are combined and a single E-Drawing, showing the combination, does not exist; or E-Drawings do not exist for the proposed arrangement(s).

All lines over, on or under private property must be protected by a registered easement in accordance with TS 102 Easement Standard for the Distribution Networks. Clearance to Railway Lines. The preferred method of crossing railway lines is with the use of underground construction methods, however overhead construction is an option. In both instance, consultation with and approval from the relevant Rail Authority is required. Refer to NICC-252 for the form Application to Cross Railways with Power Cables.
