In this mobile application it is possible to have at hand the most important things for the design and construction of medium and low voltage overhead lines.
Notes are left to explain the calculation procedure and details that must be considered. Restrictions are also indicated on each topic.
We have a website with tutorials on the various calculations you can visit at any time www.AppGameTutoriales.com
There are 6 main screens in which you can do the following:
1.- Interpostal distance for medium voltage structures.
Here you select the type of structure (TS, RD, HA), if it is neutral or guard, the conductor gauge and the operating voltage, as well as if it is a contaminated area or not.
Based on this, the maximum distance between posts that is allowed is given, as well as the deflection and unevenness.
2.- Distance between poles for Low voltage.
Here is a table with the maximum distance allowed according to the gauge of the multiple conductor. And the arrow with which this calculation was made is shown, this must not exceed 2m
3.- Minimum cable height.
In this section, the type of conductor (communication, low voltage or medium voltage) and the crossing through which it passes (road, local road, railroad tracks, navigable waters) are chosen.
The result is the minimum height that the cable can be laid at its lowest point.
4.- Conversion of weight and distance of the driver.
In this section the conversion of weight in Kilograms to distance in meters or vice versa is made.
For different sizes of medium voltage conductors.
5.- Voltage drop in Medium voltage.
In this section it is possible to calculate the voltage drop in a medium voltage balanced three-phase overhead line. Selecting the distance to the load in kilometers, the voltage of the line and the gauge of the conductor.
6.- Information.
This section provides information on the construction, design and various details of the medium and low voltage lines.
- Details about construction in general, rural construction and urban construction.
- Ground systems.
- Retained and types of retained.
- Right of way and areas with trees.
- Allowable voltage drop and conductors.
- Low voltage construction and transformers.
- Levels of structures and embedment.
All this in a single app.
For the calculations of this app, the Mexican standard for the construction of overhead installations in medium and low voltage of CFE 2014, the NOM 001 SEDE 2012 and different books are taken as a reference.
The purpose is to have at hand the essential information for the construction and design of medium and low voltage overhead power lines.
