| Transverse Calculations: |
| Analyze transverse pole moments due to conductors, cables and other equipment, including cantilever (eccentric) loading. Considers N.E.S.C. or GO95 wind and ice loads, extreme wind loading, overload factors, wood strength factors, pole size, class, circumferences, conductor data, line angles, deadends, slacks & taps, and additional equipment. Wire codes can be used to automatically input diameter, tension and weight of conductors or cables. The wire code list now includes over 300 common electric utility conductors, and over 200 common communication cables. The list can be easily modified / customized by the user. Also includes macros for inserting a digital picture, saving the file using the map & pole #, deleting all the input data, and saving a "numbers only" file of the output. You can also store clearance data (at the pole and mid-span) on an additional tab. Photos can also be inserted manually if you wish. |
| Vertical Calculations & Other Calculations: |
| Calculates the stresses due to the vertical weight of conductors, cables, equipment, and pole weight to provide a complete fiber stress analysis at the ground line of the pole. A summary loading table lists the components and percentages. There is also a maximum stress point calculation to see if maximum stress occurs above ground. Pole deflection calculation determines how much the top of the pole is deflected under the loading conditions. The loading at a fixed point (such as a guy point) can be calculated to see if the pole strength at that point is sufficient for loads above it (as required by the NESC). Calculations are also made at all conductor attachment points and other points along the length of the pole (as required by the 2012 NESC). The results are displayed both numerically and graphically. Tabs provide easy access to each screen. |
