CONSTRUCTION STANDARD OHL2
11kV SINGLE CIRCUIT OVERHEAD LINES ON WOOD POLES
USING 50 SQ MM AAAC CONDUCTORS
1. FOREWORD
This Standard supersedes the light construction designs formally covered in the second edition
of the Overhead Line Construction Manual. All new light construction 11kV lines should be
designed and erected in accordance with the Standard. In general, the pole arrangements
remain the same and can therefore be used for the replacement of existing poles under
refurbishment schemes. Pole arrangements other than shown in figures 1-23 should only be
used with Headquarters approval.
3. SCOPE
This Standard covers 3 phase 11kV overhead lines of light construction on wood poles
employing 50 sq mm AAAC conductors designed to operate at temperatures up to 75ºC. Where
single phase lines are required these should be designed for 3 phase operation in accordance
with this Standard.
Lines to this standard are designed to meet the requirements of the 1988 supply regulations and
are based on data given in Technical Report ET111.
Three classes of design outlined in Section 4 are given in the Standard to meet different likely
environmental loadings due to ice accretion and high wind.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The three environmental conditions are:
The majority of the Company is classified as normal/moderate environment with the exception
of areas within Shropshire & Hereford, Gloucester and North Staffs Divisions.
Selection of basic span, span lengths, support and stay requirements for the design of lines
should be carried out in accordance with Section 10. Lines that cross environmental boundaries
should be designed to the higher standard unless one of the following support types is used as
a transition support:-
5. DEFINITIONS
Intermediate Support - A support in a straight run of line on which conductors are supported
on pin insulators.
Pin Angle Support - A support on which a line deviates and the conductors are supported on
pin insulators.
Section Support - A support in a straight run of line on which the conductors are made off on
either side of the crossarm.
Section Angle Support - A support on which a line deviates and the conductors are made off
on either side of the crossarm on tension insulator sets.
Terminal Support - A support on which conductors are terminated on one side of the crossarm
only on tension insulator sets.
Wind Loading Span - The wind loading span associated with any support is half the sum of the
spans adjacent to the support.
Average Span - The arithmetic average of a number of spans within a section of line.
Recommended Span - The average span length in any section of line to which the line should
be planned.
Sag - The vertical distance under any system of conductor loading, between the conductor and
a straight line joining conductor take-off points on adjacent supports, measured at mid-span.
Auxiliary Equipment - Equipment other than that forming part of the supports in this
Specification, such as transformers, switchgear etc.
Downpull - Vertical Load on pole due to vertical component of conductor tension. This exists
when the height of the conductor support falls below a line drawn between support heights on
adjacent poles.
Uplift - Upward load on pole due to vertical component of conductor tension. This exists when
the conductor curve at -5.6ºC, drawn between adjacent poles is above the support position on
the pole.
6. CLEARANCES
Lines should be designed with a minimum ground clearances of 6m. Clearances to other fixed
objects should be in accordance with Section 1 of the Overhead Lines Reference Manual.
7. ENGINEERING STANDARDS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Engineering Standards, Recommendations and Agreements with other bodies relating to
Overhead Line Construction and Operation are listed below additional Engineering
Recommendations can be found within the Company Overhead Line Reference Manual.
EB/BT2 Conditions for BT and Public Electricity Suppliers -Joint Use of Poles
BT/MEB Liaison engineers
HSE Guidance Note GS6 Avoidance of Danger from Overhead Electric Lines
8. DESIGN DATA
This Standard is designed in accordance with the requirements with the 1988 Electricity Supply
Regulations on the basis of weather data detailed in Technical Report ET111.
Design strength of conductors, fittings, insulators and supports (including stays) where fitted
shall not be less than twice the probable loadings expected over a 50 year return period.
Conductor tensions at 5ºC in still air shall not exceed 20 per cent of the conductor breaking
load.
9. SURVEY
Survey of new lines should be carried out using metric instrumentation and profiles prepared on
metric profile paper with a horizontal scale of 1:2000 and vertical scale of 1:200. Metric
templates reference 50AA80
S0AA120 should be used for lines with 80m and 120m basic spans. An additional lm clearance
should be allowed for PVC covered conductors to allow for increased sag.
10.6 Staying Arrangements and pole sizes for Section Angle and Terminal
Supports
The pole size, number of stays and stay angle for Angle and Terminal Poles are shown on
Tables 4, 5 and 6.
The recommended stay angle to be used is 45º. The maximum possible stay angle that can be
achieved should be used to reduce the load imposed on the pole and stays.
Stout class poles should be used for in-line "H" poles with transformers over l00kVA. Planting
depths should be increased by 0.3m. See Figs. 18-21.
Staying arrangements and pole sizes for lines operating in normal environments (0-199 metres)
are shown in Table 4.
Staying arrangements and pole sizes for lines operating in moderate environments (200-399m)
are shown in Table 5.
Staying arrangements and pole sizes for lines operating in severe environments (400m and
above) are shown in Table 6.
Erection Tensions include 10% over-tensioning to allow for conductor settlement. Where
conductors are retensioned 2 years or more after erection specified erection tensions should be
reduced by 10%.
11. MATERIALS
Materials specified on the pole general arrangement drawings are included in the Overhead
Line Materials Manual.
11.1 Poles
Minimum size medium class poles to BS1990. Pole drillings to drawings M450/2-4 shown in
Section 18 of the Overhead Line Materials Manual. Unused holes should be plugged with plugs
to Drawing M425.
11.2 Conductors
All aluminium alloy conductors (AAAC) to BS3242. Greased to Engineering Recommendation
L38/2 Category 4. PVC covered conductor (Type 16) to B56485. Greased to Engineering
Recommendation L38/2 Category 1.
11.3 Insulators
Insulators to comply with ESI Standard 43-93.
Disc Insulators
-1 Porcelain or polymeric equivalent to Drawing M85 at Earthed Section and Terminal Positions.
- 2 Porcelain or the polymeric equivalent as above at ABSD, High Speed Auto Recloser and
A.S.L. Positions. Or 2 High Impact Porcelain or polymeric equivalent in areas where vandalism
is experienced.
Duckbill Anchor to Drawing M409 may be used as an alternative to the above where
conditions dictate.
12.4 HV Fusegear
HV Fusegear to be limited to pole mounted substations and sections of O/H line teed off HV
cables and Tappings off mains lines before SF6 Reclosers, in accordance with Asset
Management Network Planning Guidelines.
The type of anti-climbing guard required depends on the design of support location of site and
proximity to walls, fences, etc which can assist unauthorised access to live equipment.
15.2 H Poles
Two Danger of Death signs to be fitted, one on each leg on opposite faces.

Above is the standard OHL 27 drawing for the earthing arrangement at the GVR
position. Below is a simplified version of the earthing requirements, go back to the to
earthing section if you are unsure about the earthing policy.
Fig 27 of OHPL2 shows the arrangement for the earthing of the GVR and
associated surge divertors. The surge divertor earth needs to be installed separately
to the HV steelwork earth. The surge divertor earth also requires a star arrangement
for the earthing rods at the base of the pole with the separation between the rods
equal to the depth of the first rod.
