TYPES OF TRANSMISSION TOWER Based on Angle of deviation : 1. A-type tower-anlge of deviation 0º to 2º 2. B-type tower-anlge of deviation 2º TO 15º 3. C-type tower-anlge of deviation 15º to 30º 4. D-type tower-anlge of deviation 30º to 60º . Based on force applied by conductor on cross arms: 1. Tangent suspension tower and it is generally A-type tower 2. Angle tower or tension tower or section tower. All B,C,D types are of this type.
TOWER HEIGHT 1. Minimum permissible ground clearance h1 2. Maximum sag h2 3. Vertical spacing between conductors h3 4. Vertical clearance between ground wire and top conductor h4
ROLE OF WIND PRESSURE • Wind zones and basic wind speed • Variation of wind speed with height • Wind force on structure

TOWER HEIGHT CALCULATIONS • Here we are taking h1 = 7.478m • we have sag S =
=
= 7.522m
• For 220KV line of 2 circuits, minimum vertical spacing between conductors is 4.9m. We are taking it as 5m and h3 = 10m. • The height can be calculated by considering the shield angle = 30 i.e., the angle between the vertical
at the peak point to the line joining the peak point and top insulator string. Tan 30 = h4 = 7.794m.
WIND LOAD For wind load on tower ��� = × �� × ��� ×��× �� • At top cross arm ��� = (614.4 ×2.975 ×0.924 ×2.26254)÷4 + (614.4 ×2.08×2.286 ×2.284) = 7.63KN
STAAD MODELLING • Transmission line tower is modelled using the coordinates of different nodes and then, joining them to form members and ultimately a transmission tower. • Support are chosen to be fixed. • Then the 5 load cases are considered. • Sections is chosen as ISEA 60 ×60 ×6 mm. • Parameters defined as Ultimate tensile strength = 41,000 KN/ Yield strength = 25,000 KN/
Section chosen = hot rolled section • Design is done according to the loading conditions and then the results are obtained.

CONCLUSION In the present study, a 220 KV transmission line tower is designed in wind zone 3 with a basic wind speed of 44m/s. The various loads acting on the tower, Conductors and the Ground wire are calculated using the required Indian Standard Codes, and then the tower is modelled and designed using STAAD.Pro V8i . The steel sections required are obtained along with member forces and Nodal displacements.
