Introduction

Introduction
Detailed structure of the standard
The standard comprises two parts, numbered Part 1 and Part 3.
Part 1: General requirements - Common specifications
This part, also referred to as the Main Body, includes clauses common to all countries. These clauses have
been prepared by Working Groups and approved by CLC/TC 11.
The Main Body is available in English, French and German.
Part 3: National Normative Aspects
The index lists the existing National Normative Aspects (NNAs) related to the different countries.
The National Normative Aspects (NNAs) reflect national practices. They generally include A-deviations,
special national conditions and national complements.
A-deviations:
A-deviations are required by existing national laws or regulations, which cannot be altered at the time of
preparation of the standard.
Reference is made to CENELEC Internal Regulations Part 2, definition 2.17.
Special national conditions (snc):
Special national conditions are national characteristics or practices that cannot be changed even over a long
period, e.g. those due to climatic conditions, earth resistivity, etc.
Reference is made to CENELEC Internal Regulations, Part 2, definition 2.15.
National complements (NCPTs):
National complements reflect national practices, which are neither A-deviations, nor special national
conditions. It has been agreed within CLC/TC 11 that NCPTs should be gradually adapted to the Main Body,
aiming at the usual EN structure including only a Main Body, A-deviations and special national conditions.
Language:
The NNAs are published in English and in the national language(s) of the respective country.

All clauses

In the Main Body text there are many instances where the word “should” has been inadvertently used in place
of “shall”. Until such time as a full revision to this European Standard is completed replace “should” by “shall”
in all cases.

Replace the obsolete references to draft EN(V)s with those indicated in Table 1.

1 Scope

Replace NOTE 2 by the following:

NOTE 2 Design and construction of overhead lines with insulated conductors, where internal and external clearances can be smaller
than specified in the standard, are not included. Other requirements of the standard may be applicable, and where necessary NNAs
shall be consulted.

Add the following NOTE 4:

NOTE 4 The specific definition as to the meaning and extent of a “new overhead line” is to be identified by each NC within their own
NNA. At the least, it shall mean a totally new line between two points, A and B.


2 Definitions, symbols and references

Add the following definitions:

2.1.107
composite insulator
insulator made of at least two insulating parts, namely a core and a housing, equipped with end fittings

NOTE  Composite insulators, for example, can consist either of individual sheds mounted on the core, with or without an intermediate
sheath, or alternatively, of a housing directly moulded or cast in one or several pieces onto the core.

2.1.108
anti-cascading tower
tension or suspension tower specially designed with higher strength to avoid cascade failures and installed at
a nominated frequency of towers to limit damage and permit quick restoration of failed towers and
conductor(s)


3 Basis of design

3.2.2 Reliability of overhead lines

Add the following paragraphs at the end of the existing clause as an informative note:

NOTE  It is important to note that increasing the Reliability Level is not the only way to improve continuity of service of an overhead
line. The reference reliability level is generally regarded as providing an acceptable reliability level in respect of continuity of service and
safety, but in fact a designer shall consider the following two aspects:

Safety of the public: the reference return period of 50 years gives a high level of reliability. The probability of failure is acceptable in
respect of public safety, because the combined probability resulting in human injury is very low. Moreover, as components are designed
as complete systems rather than individually in isolation, and because they are usually designed prior to specific knowledge of the real
line parameters (e.g. span length), the use factor has a positive influence on actual line reliability.

Continuity of service: it is possible to increase the availability by increasing the return period (upgrading) but it is not the only solution.
It is also possible to increase the service life by creating redundancy, constructing other overhead lines, or having more lines radiating
from substations thereby improving design by strength coordination, limiting damage, installing anti-cascading towers, and by setting an
emergency restoration plan to repair damage very quickly.

Overall costs are not only determined by the probability of failure, but mostly by the possible consequence of failure, including the
uncontrollable propagation of failure, and this may extend well beyond the initial failure. Such consequences can be reduced
significantly by the following cost-effective measures such as: strength coordination, design of supports to resist torsional and
longitudinal security loadings, load control devices, de-icing methods, anti-cascading towers, and construction of other overhead lines,
etc. (i.e. proactive solutions); emergency restoration structures, training of linemen, etc. (i.e. reactive solutions).

4.2.4.4 Equivalent diameter D of ice covered conductor

Replace the symbol definition in the formula:

I is the factored ice load (N/m) according to the wind combination as specified in 4.2.4.1. It includes all
relevant combination and partial load factors for the reliability level concerned.
In the equations of 3.7.4, it is calculated as follows:

I = γ Q = γ I formula 3.7.4 (1) for dominating ice load
Q1 1K I K
I = Ψ Q = Ψ I formula 3.7.4 (1) for dominating wind load
Q2 2K I K

where

I is the reference (characteristic) ice load.

4.2.5 Temperature effects

Replace this subclause by the following:

4.2.5 Temperature effects

Temperature effects in five different design situations may generally apply as described below. They will
depend on other climatic actions that may be present:

a) a minimum temperature to be considered with no other climatic action, if this is relevant;
b) a normal ambient reference temperature assumed for the extreme wind speed condition;
c) a reduced wind speed combined with a minimum temperature condition to be considered, if relevant;
d) a temperature to be assumed with icing. For both of the main types of icing (precipitation icing and
o
incloud icing) a temperature of 0 C may be used, unless otherwise specified. A lower temperature shall
be taken into account in regions where the temperature often drops significantly after a snowfall;
e) a temperature to be used for the combination of wind and ice.

It is expected that lower minimum temperatures will be applicable for the longer return periods T indicated in
Table 3.1.

The relevant temperatures and associated design situations are given in the NNAs.


4.2.10.2 Standard load cases

Replace this subclause by the following:

4.2.10.2 Standard load cases

For control of adequate reliability and functions under service conditions of the overhead line, standard load
cases (indicated in Table 4.2.7) and options given below may be defined in the NNAs.

In all load cases, the vertical component of the permanent actions as given in 4.2.1 shall be included. Where
permanent actions reduce the effects of other actions such as uplift on a foundation, the minimum value of
the permanent action shall be applied, for example minimum allowed ratio of weight-to-wind span.

If applicable and stated in the Project Specification, load cases involving short circuit loads or other special
loads in accordance with 4.2.8 and 4.2.9, respectively, shall be investigated.

Items (a) to (e) apply as given in Table 4.2.7:

(a) A wind direction normal to the line shall be considered and at all other angles which may be critical for
the design.

Wind load on all spans in one direction from the support resulting in longitudinal loads may be
considered in the design of the relevant supports, where this condition is not adequately addressed by
other defined load cases (optional).
