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.

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

• How to calculate structural loading of single pole structures
• The factors that limit span lengths
• How to determine the maximum level ground span
• How to calculate the maximum horizontal spans for a wood structure
• How to use the “ground line method” for structural analysis
• The factors involved in vertical spans calculations
• The loading factors for H-frame structures
• The impact of crossbraces on H-frame structures
• 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.
