 McGraw-Edison steel poles are fabricated and constructed from steel alloys that result in
high strength structures lo support a wjde variety of outdoor lighting fixtures and configu-
rations. This built-in flexibility permits steel poles to be used for most outdoor lighting
applications.
Faclory applied finishes such as galvanizing and prime painting provide the necessary
surface protection for durability and low maintenance.

General
A lighling pole must support the weight of a I equipment wh ch w be
mounted on t and withstand the ellecl of the max mur. wind veloc t es to
which it will be subjected. Lum naires, n'rount ng brackels, and any
known auxiliary equipment that may be added to the pole must all be
taken into consideration during the pole select on process
Geographical lsotach zones
To determine lhe maximum wlnd ve ocity of a given area, a 50 Year
Mean RecurTence lnterva lvlap has been ncluded in the calalog (see
back cove4 The wind va ues on the isolach chart represent wind veloc-
ties 30' above groLrnd. lt ls because of the drag eltect of the earth s
surface that the wind velocrly increases with heighl. These elevaled
wlnd velocities are laken inlo considerai on rn the design ol N4ccraw'
Edison poles.
Because winds are rarely steady, wrnd gusls are a so taken into con'
siderat on in the deslgn of Mccraw-Ed son poles by using what s called
a gust factor ol 130%. Wind ve ocities on the isolach map do nol accouni
lor gusts They are referred to as base velocity winds. The peak velocily
resull ng lrorn shorl time duration gusls can be determined by multi
piying the base velocity times the gust faclor Both the base velooty and
rnaximum ve oc ty are indicaled for your convenience above each EPA
co umn.
When determining the wind zone in wh ch lhe poles wrll be installed,
special consideration rnust be given 10 assure that the correcl one rs
se ected. lf the pole inslallalion appears midway between two diflerent
wind zones, the hiqher wind zone should be selected. Within the con
tinenta United Slates. there are severa areas lhal experience unusua
winds. The eilecl of lhese are not necessarily included on the isotach

Effective Projected Area (EPA)
The tota wind force that a po e s subjected to depends upon nol on y
the wind ve oclty but also the size and shape of ail equrpment mounted
on the pole. This equipment is measured rn square feel of projected area
as s houetled aga nst lhe w nd. Because the shape of lghting equip
ment has a subslantial eflect on lhe amolnt of w nd drag. correcl on lor
the shape is done by using whal s ca ed the drag coefiicient. By mu t -
ply ng the drag coeflicient t mes the projected area oi the uminaires. the
result is an area value adjusted for the urn naires shape and is ca ed the
Etfectlve Proiected Area (EPA)
Drag coefficients for NlcGraw'Ed son s lumina res have been developed
through slandard wrnd tunnel testing procedures. lt is through the EPA
va ues of luminaires and pole shal1, multip ied by the ve oc ly pressure ol
the wrnd, that the tota force of wind acting on a pole is lound. Each pole
listed n the cata og is designed to w lhstand a speciiic luminaire wind
oad which s expressed n EPA al a given wind ve oc ty.
