Assumptions
Sizing is relevant only forAl – E91E (6063 T6)Tubular
No structures are attached to the busbar
Busbar
Contents
1. Minimize bending moment at joints
2. Span width specific requirements
3. Post Insulator Sizing
1. Bending Moments
For equal Span width, the position of minimum bending
depends only on
• Length of a Span
• The Number of Spans
• The Type of support – e.g. Fixed , Pin
Assumptions
S= Slip fit Support
F= Fixed Support
E=Expansion Support
Points of Zero Bending Moment
Workings of the excel sheet
Example outputInput are showed in RED boxes
2. Deflection and Stress
Deflection caused by the weight of the tubeshould be less than 150th of
the length
Total stresses on the tube
should be less than the yield
stress
Both should be
simultaneously satisfied
Prerequisites
1. Wind Forces
2. Short circuit Forces

stress of 6063 - T6, S section modulus, K is a constant
which depends on support type and number of supports
and FT is the total force

3. Post Insulator
Total insulator cantilever load is calculated by assuming
vertically mounted insulator with horizontal bus.
Furthermore the effective weight of the mass transmitted
to one bus support depends on the bus configuration and
support conditions.
