Tension in Transmission Line Calculator

Tension in Transmission Line Calculator

Estimate the maximum tension in a transmission line using:
\[ T = \sqrt{\left(\frac{wL^2}{8S}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{wL}{2}\right)^2} \]

* Enter weight per unit length (N/m), span (m), and sag (m) (with sag less than span).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 1 N/m

Example: 100 m

Example: 5 m

Formula: \( T = \sqrt{\left(\frac{wL^2}{8S}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{wL}{2}\right)^2} \)
