Credit: 5 CPD

Length: 74 pages

This 5-hour course is the final in a series of courses on the design of medium voltage electrical transmission lines. This volume is divided into two chapters: the first chapter addresses the design of single pole structures, and the second chapter explains how to design H-frame structures.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Calculate the structural loading of single-pole structures.
• Identify the factors that limit span lengths.
• Determine the maximum level-ground span.
• Calculate the maximum horizontal spans for a wood structure.
• Apply the “ground line method” to structural analysis.
• Explain the factors involved in vertical span calculations.
• Identify the loading factors for H-frame structures.
• Analyze the impact of crossbraces on H-frame structures.
• Compare the benefits of various V-brace configurations.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
