What is BS IEC 60826 – Overhead transmission lines about?

BS IEC 60826 is an international standard that discusses design criteria for overhead transmission lines. Overhead power lines are used to transmit and distribute electrical power over long distances, forming a power or national grid. BS IEC 60826 specifies the loading and strength requirements of overhead lines derived from reliability-based design principles. These requirements apply to lines 45 kV and above but can also be applied to lines with a lower nominal voltage. BS IEC 60826 also provides a framework for the preparation of national standards dealing with overhead transmission lines, using reliability concepts and employing probabilistic or semi-probabilistic methods. These national standards will need to establish the local climatic data f...
