Review: This book considers wood pole distribution overhead lines in networks up to 132 kV. It concentrates on the mechanical aspects of distribution pole lines, including live line work, environmental influence, climate change and international Standards. As lightning represents the major source of faults on overhead lines, the book includes a section explaining both how lightning affects the lines and the strategic principles of protection. Topics covered include: wayleave, statutory requirements, safety, profiling, traditional and probabilistic design, wood pole design, weather loads, bare and covered conductors, different types of overhead systems, conductor choice, construction, condition assessment, maintenance, refurbishment, upgrading, lightning protection, live line working and future trends in design, construction and maintenance.
