Overhead electrical lines exceeding AC 1 kV - Part 2-15: National Normative Aspects (NNAs) for the Netherlands (based on EN 50341-1:2012)

EN 50341-2-15 is applicable for new high-voltage overhead lines only, not for existing lines in the Netherlands. This NNA includes the requirements for application of plastic cables, with metal or without (ADSS) metal, for telecommunication, as well as for conductor/earthwire (groundwire) systems (e.g. wraparound,....). This NNA is applicable for fixing of structural elements for telecommunication (e.g. dishes), if mounted on power line supports (towers), especially regarding the wind forces and ice loads on such fixed elements. To overhead electrical lines exceeding 1 kV (A.C.) but lower than 45 kV (A.C.) Part 1 is applicable without special national conditions (snc) or national complements (ncpt).

European foreword
1 The Netherlands National Committee (NC) is identified by the following address:

Koninklijk Nederlands Elektrotechnisch Comité (NEC)
Vlinderweg 6,
PO Box 5059
2600 GB DELFT
the Netherlands
Tel.: [phone]
Email: [e-mail]
Relevant standards committee: NEC 11/36 “Hoogspanningslijnen en isolatoren”
(Overhead high-voltage lines and insulators)

2 The Netherlands NC has prepared this Part 2-15 of EN 50341, listing the Netherlands
National Normative Aspects (NNA), under its sole responsibility, and duly passed it
through the CENELEC and CLC/TC 11 procedures. This NNA to EN 50341 has been
accepted by the Dutch standards Committee 351001 “Technische Grondslagen voor
Bouwconstructies”, responsible for the structural and geotechnical design standards in
the Netherlands, as being in accordance with the safety philosophy for structures in the
Netherlands.
NOTE: The Netherlands NC also takes sole responsibility for the technically correct co-ordination of this
NNA with EN 50341-1. It has performed the necessary checks in the frame of quality assurance/control.
However, it is noted that this quality check has been made in the framework of the general responsibility of
a standards committee under the national laws/regulations.

This Part 2-15 specifies the values of the Nationally Determined Parameters for use in
the Netherlands. Herewith it can be demonstrated that a construction work achieves
the level of structural safety as required by Dutch building regulations. This NNA also
includes complementary requirements which are non-conflicting with NEN-EN 1990
and the Dutch National Annex to EN 1990. This complementary text may be of
normative nature, but also of informative nature (e.g. notes). Also decisions on the
application (normative or informative) in the Netherlands of the informative Annexes to
the standard itself are specified in the National Annex.

3 This NNA is normative in the Netherlands and informative for other countries.

4 This NNA has to be read in conjunction with Part 1 (EN 50341-1). All clause numbers
used in this NNA correspond to those of Part 1. Specific subclauses, which are prefixed
“NL”, are to be read as amendments to the relevant text in Part 1. Any necessary
clarification regarding the application of NNA in conjunction with Part 1 shall be referred
to the Netherlands NC who will, in co-operation with CLC/TC 11, clarify the
requirements.
When no reference is made in this NNA to a specific subclause, then Part 1 applies.

5 In the case of “boxed values” defined in Part 1, amended values (if any) which are
defined in this NNA shall be taken into account in the Netherlands.

However any boxed value, whether in Part 1 or in this NNA, shall not be amended in
the direction of greater risk in a Project Specification.

6 The national Netherlands standards/regulations related to overhead electrical lines
exceeding 45 kV (A.C.) are identified/listed in subclauses 2.1/NL.1 and 2.1/NL.2.

NOTE: All national standards referred to in this NNA will be replaced by the relevant European Standards
as soon as they become available and are declared by the Netherlands NC to be applicable and thus
reported to the secretary of CLC/TC 11.

the Netherlands - 7/63 - EN 50341-2-15:2019
1 Scope
(ncpt) NL.1 Application to existing overhead lines
This NNA is applicable for new high-voltage overhead lines only, not for existing
lines in the Netherlands.
NOTE: If some planning/design or modification works on existing lines in the Netherlands has to be
performed, the structural integrity shall be assessed based on the following generic building
standards:
− NEN 8700 “Assessment of existing structures in case of reconstruction and disapproval – Basic
Rules” and
− NEN 8701 “Assessment of existing structures in case of reconstruction and disapproval –
Actions
NEN 8700 and NEN 8701 shall be used in conjunction with EN 50341 part 1 and this NNA.
NEN 8700 and NEN 8701 are based on NEN-EN 1990.
EN 50341-1 “Overhead electrical lines exceeding 1 kV” is based on EN 1990.
Where in NEN-EN 1990 and NEN-EN 50341 is referred to 'design' that term should be read in the
context of the applying this standard to a review or assessment, by an analysis, as 'verification'. In
case of construction re-design this must be understood as referring only to the part of the structure
that is subject of the re-design.

(ncpt) NL.2 Application to cables for telecommunication
This NNA includes the requirements for application of plastic cables, with metal or
without (ADSS) metal, for telecommunication, as well as for conductor/earthwire
(groundwire) systems (e.g. wraparound,.).

(ncpt) NL.3 Application to mounting of telecommunication equipment
This NNA is applicable for fixing of structural elements for telecommunication (e.g.
dishes), if mounted on power line supports (towers), especially regarding the wind
forces and ice loads on such fixed elements.

(ncpt) NL.4 Applicability
This NNA is applicable to overhead electrical lines exceeding 45 kV (A.C.).

To overhead electrical lines exceeding 1 kV (A.C.) but lower than 45 kV (A.C.)
Part 1 is applicable without special national conditions (snc) or national
complements (ncpt).

NOTE: The reliability level of CC2 is slighly higher than level 3 in Part 1.

(ncpt) NL.2 For overhead lines with design life of less than 50 years the wind load may
be reduced by using the following formula (according to
NEN-EN 1991-1-4+A1+C2:2011/NB:2011, clause 4.2):

c = [1 - 0,2 ln(-ln(1-1/t))]/[1 - 0,2 ln(-ln(1-1/t ))]
prob 50
For overhead lines with design life of less than 50 years the ice load may be
reduced by using the following formula:

c = [1 + 0,33 (1-a) ln(t/t )]
prob 50
where:
t = the value of the design life in years, but not less than 15 years
t = 50

(snc) NL.1 The Netherlands is divided in 3 zones (see Figure 4.3/NL.2) and 2 area
categories with related basic dynamic wind pressures (see Figure 4.3/NL.3).

In table 4.3/NL.1 the values for q on components or segments of structures from
h
directions corresponding to a sector,depending on the height are given for:

• Area category 0 “coast” (see Figure 4.3/NL.3) when if the following three
conditions are met:
- for at least half of the wind directions within the relevant sector, the
distance from the structure to open water with a stroke length of at least 2
km is less than ten times the height at which the member to be considered
is located,
- the structure has a height that is at least twice the average height of the
buildings and other obstacles in the sector concerned between the
structure and the open water, and
- the structure is not located in wind area III.
• Area category 1 “non urban”.

the Netherlands - 15/63 - EN 50341-2-15:2019
NOTE: For urban areas (in contrast with NEN-EN 1991-1-4+A1+C2:2011/NB:2011) the dynamic

dir
account. The directional peak wind pressure is:

q = c ∙ q .
hdir dir h
(snc) NL.3 The wind sector boundaries must be chosen mutually perpendicular. The
direction of the sector boundaries shall have a 45 ° angle with the main direction of
the overhead line (see Figure 4.3/NL.1).

NOTE: Within a sector, the direction of the wind varies between the two area boundaries.
