  • Abstract
    In this paper, the philosophy pertaining to the design of the 500-kV towers is outlined, starting with the economic studies to determine conductor type and size, phase spacing, insulator arrangement, span length, and loading. Particular attention is given to a discussion of unbalanced ice loading as well as realistic summertime wind loading.
