A new computer program for calculating
the electrical and mechanical properties of
overhead conductors has been developed. The
program requires as input only the steel and
aluminum cross-sectional areas. The conductors
may be standard round-wire or Compact ("trap0
wire") designs. The method can be used with programs
that optimize the design of transmission
lines, permitting rapid investigation of lines
designed with conductors that may not yet exist.
The program has been integrated with an accurate
ac resistance model, various ampacity programs
and a sag-tension program.
