    Uploaded by

    AriesFranandaPanjaitan
    The document provides various electrical thumb rules related to overhead transmission lines, underground cables, substation equipment, and building electrical load calculations. It lists typical conductor sizes and ampacity for different voltage transmission and distribution lines. It also gives standards for tower heights and spans, conductor ampacity, types of transmission towers, tower ground clearances, cable coding, corona ring sizes, typical building electrical loads, and ventilation shaft sizes.

    The key takeaways are about overhead conductor sizes for different voltages, span heights and conductor ampere ratings for transmission lines, types of towers used for transmission lines, swing angle clearances for transmission lines, and cable codings according to IS 1554.

    The different types of towers used in transmission lines are A, B, C and D towers. A towers are used for deviations up to 2 degrees, B towers for 2 to 15 degrees, C towers for 15 to 30 degrees and D towers/dead end towers for 30 to 60 degrees and dead end sections.

    The swing angle clearances provided are for 66KV, 132KV, 220KV and 400KV transmission lines for swing angles of 0, 15, 22, 30 and 44 degrees.
