OVERVIEW
The National Electrical Safety Code provides methods to determine the required strength of poles to support conductors.
The application of these methods is explained in this webinar. Grades of construction, which are necessary to determine the required overload and strength factors, will be discussed. NESC overload and strength factors will be discussed for application on wood poles.
Three different NESC loading requirements including ice and wind, extreme wind, and extreme ice with concurrent wind will be presented. Wind and ice loading calculations will be demonstrated for each of the three NESC loading requirements. Loading calculations will include vertical and transverse loading which must be supported by the wood pole and/or wood crossarm.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
~ Engineers ~ Power line workers
~ Staking technicians ~ Contractors ~ Consultants
LEARNING OUTCOMES
~ Explain different grades of construction
~ Define the overload factors and strength reduction factors
~ Calculate vertical and transverse loading for ice and wind loads per Rule 250B
~ Calculate vertical and transverse loading for extreme wind loads per Rule 250C
~ Calculate vertical and transverse loading for extreme ice and concurrent wind loads per Rule 250D
