(Main)Loading and strength of overhead transmission lines
Loading and strength of overhead transmission lines
Applies to overhead lines of nominal voltage above 45 kV. It may also be applied to lines with a lower nominal voltage. The purpose of this report is to propose relationships between loads imposed on transmission lines and the strengths of transmission lines components in order to obtain safe and economical designs. Has the status of a technical report. The contents of the corrigendum of September 1991 have been included in this copy.
Charge et résistance des lignes aériennes de transport
S'applique aux lignes aériennes ayant une tension normale supérieure à 45 kV. Il peut aussi s'appliquer aux lignes ayant une tension nominale plus faible. Le but de ce rapport est de proposer une relation entre les charges imposées sur les lignes de transport et de la résistance des composants de lignes de transport afin d'aboutir à des conceptions économiques. A le statut d'un rapport technique. Le contenu du corrigendum de septembre 1991 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

IEC 60652:2021 is available as IEC 60652:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60652:2021 specifies the methods and procedures of testing supports for overhead lines. It applies to the testing of supports and structures of overhead lines. There is no restriction on the type of material used in the fabrication of the supports which may include, but not be limited to, metallic alloys, concrete, timber, laminated wood and composite materials. If required by the client, this document can also be applied to the testing of telecommunication supports, railway/tramway overhead electrification supports, electrical substation gantries, street lighting columns, wind turbine towers, ski-lift supports, etc. Tests on reduced scale models of supports are not covered by this document. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Title modified;
b) Added reference to CIGRE Brochure 399;
c) In Clause 7, added test limitation for wind speed and direction during testing;
d) In paragraph 10.5, added load increments for destruction tests;
e) In paragraph 10.7, added a requirement for an agreement between client and testing station when testing supports made of creep-sensitive materials;
f) In Clause 17, added requirements for sampling procedure to be provided in the test report.

IEC 61897:2020 is available as IEC 61897:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 61897:2020 applies to aeolian vibration dampers intended for single conductors or earth wires or conductor bundles where dampers are directly attached to each subconductor. The purchaser may adopt part(s) of this document when specifying requirements for cables different from those mentioned above (e.g. optical ground wires (OPGW), all dielectric self-supporting optical cables (ADSS)). In some cases, test procedures and test values are left to agreement between the purchaser and the supplier and are stated in the procurement contract. Annex A lists the minimum technical details to be agreed between purchaser and supplier. Throughout this document, the word “conductor” is used when the test applies to dampers for conductors or earth wires. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Consider, in addition to Stockbridge type aeolian vibration dampers, also spiral aeolian vibration dampers and elastomeric aeolian vibration dampers.
b) Consider the application of dampers on high temperature conductors, specifying additional high temperature tests in clamp slip tests.
c) Simplify the procedure of the damper effectiveness evaluation.
d) Introduce test at low temperature on fastener components such as break away bolts and conical spring washers.
e) Include figures showing the test arrangements for the main mechanical tests.

IEC 61854:2020 is available as IEC 61854:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 61854:2020 applies to spacers for conductor bundles of overhead lines. It covers rigid spacers, flexible spacers and spacer dampers.
It does not apply to interphase spacers, hoop spacers and bonding spacers.
This document is written to cover the line design practices and spacers most commonly used at the time of writing. There may be other spacers available for which the specific tests reported in this document may not be applicable.
In some cases, test procedures and test values are left to agreement between purchaser and supplier and are stated in the procurement contract. The purchaser is best able to evaluate the intended service conditions, which should be the basis for establishing the test severity.
In Annex A, the minimum technical details to be agreed between purchaser and supplier are listed.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Consider the application of spacers on high temperature conductors specifying additional high temperature tests in clamp slip tests and for the characterization of elastic and damping properties;
b) Specify as far as possible test parameters and acceptance values;
c) Avoid as far as possible the alternative procedures for the same test;
d) Introduce a simpler test device for the simulated short circuit current test;
e) Introduce test at low temperature on fastener components such as break away bolts and conical spring washers;
f) Prescribe a different procedure for subspan oscillation tests on spacers equipped with clamps having rod attachments;
g) Modify the test procedure for the aeolian vibration tests;
h) Prescribe a different procedure for aeolian vibration tests on spacers equipped with clamps having rod attachments;
i) Re-edit all the figures in order to make them more clear and homogeneous;

NEW! IEC 60826:2017 is available as IEC 60826:2017 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60826:2017: specifies the loading and strength requirements of overhead lines derived from reliability-based design principles. These requirements apply to lines 45 kV and above, but can also be applied to lines with a lower nominal voltage.
This document also provides a framework for the preparation of national standards dealing with overhead transmission lines, using reliability concepts and employing probabilistic or semi-probabilistic methods. These national standards will need to establish the local climatic data for the use and application of this standard, in addition to other data that are country- specific.
Although the design criteria in this standard apply to new lines, many concepts can be used to address the design and reliability requirements for refurbishment, upgrading and uprating of existing lines.
This document does not cover the detailed design of line components such as supports, foundations, conductors or insulators strings.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2003. It constitutes a technical revision.
The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
This standard has been further simplified by removing many informative annexes and theoretical details that can now be found in CIGRE Technical Brochure 178 and referred to as needed in the text of the standard. Many revisions have also been made that reflect the users experience in the application of this standard, together with information about amplification of wind speed due to escarpments. The annexes dealing with icing data have also been updated using new work by CIGRE.
