Current through June, 2024
(a) This
				  section prescribes the method of calculating loadings for electrical
				  transmission lines. The methodology prescribed in this section will apply
				  notwithstanding any provision of the Code to the contrary. The methodology must
				  be applied for lines of 69 kV or 138 kV. At the discretion of the public

(b) For parts of the
				  State where the elevation of the line is 6,250 feet or less, no ice loading
				  need be considered. For parts of the State where the elevation of the line
				  exceeds 6,250 feet, a radial thickness of one-half inch of ice, weighing 57
				  pounds per cubic foot, on all conductors must be considered in computing the
				  vertical and wind loadings.
(c)
				  Temperature considerations are as follows:

				  For all locations in the State, less than 2,000 feet above sea level:
(A) The temperature at the time of maximum
				  loading is assumed to be 50°F;
(B) The normal temperature for computing
				  erection conditions is 75°F; and
(C) The maximum temperature for computing
				  sags and clearances is assumed at 212°F.
