4 Introduction

The body of this specification covers general design and construction requirements. How
to construct and maintain ABC is detailed in a separate manual known as the Overhead
Line Construction Manual. Appendix A to Appendix C of this document comprises General
Arrangement (GA) drawings with associated lists of materials for LV ABC structures as
follows:

1. Appendix A comprises GAs for LV ABC distribution networks supported on wood

poles. (Note that “inside” and “outside” angles are not as defined in ENA TS 43-12.)

2. Appendix B comprises GAs for LV ABC service connections, followed by a GA

summarising ABC and CNE service spans

3. Appendix C comprises GAs for LV ABC pole-mounted equipment.

Each list of materials identifies the components included in the associated GA and which
supplementary items are needed to complete that structure. Variations within each GA for
different conductors are covered by different columns in the associated list of materials.
Note that the lists of materials for the connections and plant shown in Appendix B and
Appendix C do not include the materials for the associated GA structure; many
combinations are possible and it is not practical to cover every possible
structure/connection variation here. (Refer to Appendix A for approved GA structures and
materials.)

 Appendix E – Reference List of all Materials for this specification comprises a

reference list of all materials used within this specification.

 Appendixes F to M are tables of design data for this specification: one Appendix
for each ABC type.

This specification fits into the overall design and construction process as outlined by the
following process summary:

(a) Carry out a risk assessment.

(b) Generate a proposal taking into account the risk assessment.

(c) Generate a proposal for a new line.

(d) Choose a proposed route and a line survey carried out.

(e) Plot pole positions, heights, clearances, and develop a line profile. (Note that the
development of a line profile will require some data and parameters from Appendix F
August 2012

and subsequent Appendices.)

(f) Compile a list of materials using the GAs and supplementary items identified in this
specification (Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C and appropriate ES and/or
ENA TS). The GAs and supplementary items shall be selected and used in
accordance with the design and construction information given below and the data
given in subsequent Appendices.

OHL Design Manual - Section 1 - Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) Low Voltage Mains And
Services LS BH PW Page 9
 Overhead Line Design Manual
 

Appendix M provides a table to give distances in metres from pole base to stay base
dependant on pole size. This has been provided to support the minimum angle of stay
column provided in Appendix F to J.

5 Design Information
5.1 General Practice
Lines shall be designed using the GAs and supplementary items from Appendix A,
Appendix B, Appendix C and the data from Appendix F to M, etc. The following information
shall be taken into account during the design process.

5.2 Risk assessment

A risk assessment shall be carried out at the commencement of the design work to identify
the site specific safety hazards. The design shall incorporate mitigation measures to
control the risks, identified in the risk assessment, associated with the construction,
operation and maintenance of the proposed overhead line and its suitability compared with
an underground cable solution.

5.3 Earthing
System earthing shall meet the requirements of the current UK Power Networks LV
Network Earthing Design Manual EDS 06 0016 .

To provide a PME network the connection from the neutral of the bundle to the earth
electrode(s) shall be installed and connected in accordance with the drawings given in
Appendix D. (The PME connections are split across two drawings, because all pole
mounted equipment GAs incorporate connections from bundle neutral to neutral/earth as
mandatory requirements.)

5.4 Design Data

Each set of design data (Appendix F to M) contains all the information necessary for the
conductor bundle specified, with the exception of poles supporting electrical plant. Design
parameters used to construct the tables of design data are given for reference. Note that
the basic span for this design is 50m. If ABC is to be installed onto an existing pole it is
then assumed that the pole depth will be 1500 mm. The maximum wind loading span shall
then be limited to the figures supplied in Table 6 and Table 12 (Appendix F and G). If an
existing pole has to be changed due to decay or clearance problems then refer to tables
for planting depth for new build.

For poles supporting electrical plant, strut loadings need to be re-calculated as necessary.
March 2011

(Note that 1000kg additional weight can be approximated to 1000kgf additional loading for
this purpose.)

Data in Appendix F to J, etc, are based on the minimum pole diameters included in
BS 1990. In practice, if it is found that strut loadings exceed the values given in Appendix
F to J, etc, the minimum pole top diameter needs to be re-calculated. Maximum service
spans shall be in accordance with Figure 15: Concentric Service Spans and Figure 16:
ABC Service Spans.

6 Construction Information
6.1 General Practice
Construction practices shall be in accordance with the UK Power Networks Overhead Line
Construction Manual. For reference, ABC phases and neutral shall be identified by the
number of ribs on the insulation as follows:

 Phase L1: 1 rib.

 Phase L2: 2 ribs.

 Phase L3: 3 ribs.

 Neutral: fully ribbed. (Note that this applies

whenever ABC is used; e.g. when neutral is
run down the pole for connection to the
neutral/earth connection.)

6.1.1 Supports
All fittings supporting the ABC system shall provide an insulating barrier rated at 1000V
between the core insulation and the mechanical attachment. The ABC shall be attached in
such a manner that it cannot make contact with any metalwork or stays.

The maximum pole height for a service or service line shall be 9 metres.

Weak links will be used on all poles except for the following:

1. Terminal poles

2. Section poles or

3. Either side of a road crossing.

6.2 Clearances

6.2.1 General
Clearances from external objects and structures (e.g. buildings, trees and roads) shall
comply with ENA TS 43-12 In-line construction clearances shall comply with those
specified in the specific job instructions detailed in the Overhead Line Construction
Manual.

In addition to the above, the following rules shall be followed:

March 2011

1. Wherever possible, ABC conductors shall not pass directly over buildings and roofs.

2. Wherever it is necessary to over sail a building or roof, the relevant span shall not
contain any in-line connections.

3. Where ABC is attached to a building which has a thatched roof, the attachment shall
be a minimum of 0.5m from the thatched roof.

4. Once terminated, ABC shall be converted to concentric cable or insulated and

sheathed (mechanically protected) cable within 0.5m of the point of attachment to a

Overhead Line Design Manual – Section 1 – LV ABC v1.2 Page 12

   Overhead Line Design Manual
building. Service cable lead-ins into the building shall be installed in accordance with
the Overhead Line Construction Manual.

6.2.2 Tree Clearances

Where an ABC system is erected through trees, the following points shall be considered:

1. For additional information regarding overhead line clearances, refer to ENA TS 43-12.

2. Risks of the ABC being abraded by trees.

3. Sag variations and conductor swing due to the effects of the wind.

4. The effect of wind and snow loading on trees or branches bearing onto the ABC.

5. The danger of trees providing climbing access.

6. The amount of tree cutting required for ABC compared with conventional open wire
systems can be significantly reduced. However, the XLPE insulation is susceptible to
abrasion and shall not be allowed to come into contact with tree trunks, mature
branches or heavy outer growth, under any circumstances.

7. Clearances through trees shall take account of maximum and minimum conductor
sags, conductor swing and the anticipated tree growth rate and cutting periods.

6.3 Low Voltage Supports

All supports shall be fitted with a Safety Sign (Danger of Death) in accordance with UK
Power Networks EDS 09-0019.

6.4 Augering
Augering the pole hole is the preferred method when the ground is suitable.

After pole erection, the remaining hole shall be backfilled with suitable material based on
soil condition. If there is a risk of movement due to poor soil conditions then a suitable
cement mixture shall be used.

6.5 Foundations
Un-stayed angle poles shall be installed 0.5m deeper than the planting depth given in the
Appendices to this specification. (Care shall be taken when planning un-stayed angle
poles, particularly near walls.)

6.6 Stays
Only the following types of stay are suitable for lines designed to this specification:

Load-lock anchors (Light)

Screw-in (Heavy)

Concrete blocks:
Light – 500 x 300 x 90mm
Heavy – 640 x 430 x 140mm

Refer to tables for staying arrangements.

Heavy duty stay plates are useful for structures of restricted height: the overall distance
between the fixing at the top of the pole and the stay insulator is less than that of an
equivalent pole-top make-off.

The distance of the stay-base from the pole-base are given in Appendix F – J using angles
in degrees from 0o to 45o measured between the pole and stay. This information is then
March 2011

supported by a further table 42 provided in Appendix M which gives the spread in metres
between the stay and the pole at ground level.

6.7 General back-filling and Compaction

All holes shall be backfilled with the excavated material but consideration should be given
to soil condition. It may be necessary to import suitable material which can be mixed with a
cement based compound for reinstatement around the pole.

Overhead Line Design Manual – Section 1 – LV ABC v1.2 Page 14

   Overhead Line Design Manual
Any poles erected in the highway (excluding grass verges) shall be backfilled with suitable
material with reference to NRSWA requirements.

6.8 In-Line Connections

Compression fittings shall be used for all tension and in line non-tension connections.
(Under no circumstances shall IPC’s) be used to make in-line connections.)

6.9 Connections to the Bundle

For all mains connections to 120mm2, one, double-bolt IPC shall be used on each phase
conductor and two, double-bolt IPCs shall be used on the neutral/earth conductor (as
illustrated in the appropriate GAs).

6.9.2 Limit on Number of Connections to the Bundle

Only two single phase or two three phase connection to the bundle is permitted at any pole
position. If this number of connections is to be exceeded then a distribution box is to be
provided.

6.9.3 Disconnections from the bundle

IPC’s shall not be removed from the bundle.

6.22 Appendix L – Un-stayed Supports
Table 38: In-line Support with Service Span Attachments

Note: the effect of the unbalanced loading imposed by a single service span attachment has been
converted to an equivalent addition to the actual wind loading span of the main line conductor. The
addition is shown in the table below.
The sum of the actual main line wind loading span and the addition is used to determine the required
pole size. The pole is selected from the appropriate main line conductor table.
It has been assumed that wind loading affects only the main line conductor; the service span being at
right angles to the main – the latter then having a MWT based on ice loading with no wind.

Note: un-stayed angle supports shall have one 1.3m foundation block fitted at 0.5 m below the ground
line. Permitted maximum line deviation angles have been calculated based on the worst case wind
loading span capability for medium or stout grades of pole, with pole top horizontal loadings due to
MWT and line deviation angle converted to an equivalent wind loading span.
