  • Abstract
    A method is explained of calculating and plotting tension-length curves for suspended conductors. Application of the tension-length curves to the determination of increased sags in suspension spans occuring when a conductor breaks and other transmission line problems are described and illustrated. Other than for the calculation of the tension-length curves, adequate accuracy is obtained using a 10-inch slide rule.
