ADVANTAGES OF MONOPOLE TRANSMISSION TOWER WITH NEW GENERATION CONDUCTORS

This paper made an attempt to enlighten the safety parameter of monopole withthe Lattice tower transmission line design in urban areas, where required right of wayis constraint. Pipe section for monopole and a four-legged section for lattice towerhave been chosen as tower profiles. The new generation composite conductors andSteel Reinforced conductors’ properties have been examined for an integral approach.The analysis is carried out with IS 802 (Part-1/Sec-1): 2015 and IS 875(Part3)-2015revised code versions for 60 m height and 250 m span. It is concluded that theMonopole pipe sections are 6.7% less in weight than the four-legged lattice tower withcomposite conductors. While comparing the design philosophy of IS 802:2015 codeand IS 875-2015 versions, former code contributed an economic design whencompared to IS 875-2015 loading procedure. It is further extended that in terms ofweight comparison, monopole and four-legged towers have illustrated as 30% &9.18% less in comparison with IS 875 Code procedure.
