For plain terrains, this equals the normal ruling span. 6.9.3 Weight Span ‘The weight span is the horizontal distance between the lowest points of the conductors on the two adjacent spans. For design of towers the following weight spans are generally considered: 1200 kV Terrain/Tower Type Permissible Weight Span (m) Normal Condition Broken wire Gondition Max. Min. ‘Max. Min.
