Abstract
Insulator crossarms for 345-kv EHV transmission line have been
developed and tested. They use four solid-core post insulator columns
(quadruped type) or two solid-core post insulator columns and
two disc insulator strings (Twin-arm type) to form a tetrapod
mounted horizontally from the tower. They are characterized by
making possible narrower right-of-way, more compact tower dimension,
and supporting higher mechanical load.
This paper presents details of the design and the tests on
prototypes of 345-kv quadruped type and twin-arm type insulator
crossarms.
The complete assemblies satisfied combined longitudinal, vertical
and transverse loads associated with a bundle conductor system
strung at the conductor maximum loaded tension and also withstood
the full sqile conductor breaking tests at 5,000 kg per conductor.
