Calculation Methodology
Sag and tension calculations follow the conductor mechanical behavior methodology described in CIGRE-324, Sag-Tension Calculation Methods for Overhead Lines.
- CIGRE-324
These references identify the calculation methodology used. They do not indicate certification or independent validation of ConductorPro.
What the Results Show
Sag and tension results are reported for each temperature and loading case, so the engineer can review how a modeled span changes from one scenario to another.
- Temperature
- Conductor weight per unit length
- Loading case
- Conductor length
- Horizontal tension
- Vertical and total tensions at the left and right supports
- Sag
- Position values
Reading the Results
Sag changes across the listed temperature cases and across separate ice and wind loading cases. The values reported for any span reflect that span's inputs; they are not general design limits or promises of accuracy for other lines.
