    The document discusses methods for calculating stringing sags and return wave times for overhead power lines. It provides the catenary equation used to calculate stringing sags based on horizontal tension, conductor weight, and span length. It also gives equations used to calculate the velocity and travel time of transverse waves along the conductor based on tension, weight, sag, and distance traveled, and combines these to determine the return time for 3rd and 5th return waves.

    Appendix H Stringing Sag Calculations

    Sag for Each Span Calculations

    Stringing sags are derived by expanding spans within a ruling span so that tension in the sag span will be
    representative of that in the ruling span. Catenary equations are used to calculate stringing sags. The specific
    formula used is as follows :

    D= a * COSH (B/a) - a

    Where : H = Horizontal tension at center of span (Lbs, Kg, or N)


    W = Conductor weight (Lb/Ft, Kg/M, or N/M)
    B = l/2 span length, assume level supports (Feet or Meters)
    D = Sag (Feet or Meters)
    a = H /W (Feet or Meters), referred to as Catenary Constant

    Horizontal tensions are by definition the same in all spans within a ruling span section. SAG10 calculates and
    stores the horizontal tension for each temperature needed in constructing a stringing chart.

    3rd Return Wave Calculations

    The equation used for sagging by stopwatch is derived from the following 3 equations:

    V= sqrt( Pg / W )

    D= W*S*S
    8P

    F= S/V

    Where : F = Time wave has traveled (Sec.) ; = T / 2C


    V = Velocity of transverse wave (Ft/Sec.)
    P = Tension (Lbs.)
    W = Weight of conductor (Lb/Ft.)
    S = Distance travelled by wave (Ft.)
    D = Sag (Ft.)
    g = 32.2 (Ft / Sec2)

    These equations are combined to form the equation for determining the wave return time:

    T= .99689 C sqrt( D )

    Where: T = Time for C waves to return (Sec.) ; = 2 * F * C


    C = Number of return waves

    3rd Return Wave : T=6*F

    5th Return Wave : T = 10 * F
