Abstract

Transmission line towers constitute about 28 to 42 percent of the cost of the transmission line. The transmission towers are constructed for transmitting the electricity from generation station to substations. The function of transmission tower is to support the conductor wires and ground wires at suitable distance and safe height from ground. Therefore transmission line towers should be designed considering both structural and electrical requirements for a safe and economical design. In this study an attempt is made to model, analyse and design a 220kV double circuit transmission line towers. STAAD Pro program is going to be used for analysis and design of the members of 220kV double circuit tower. The transmission tower has a height of 32m and base width of 8m.
