BAS IEC 60826:2019 adopted by translation method

The Institute for Standardization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through its Technical Committee BAS/TC 30, Electrical Cables, has adopted the second edition of BAS IEC 60826: 2019, Design Criteria for Overhead Transmission Lines, by translation method.

 

 

BAS IEC 60826:2019 specifies the loading and strength requirements of overhead lines derived from reliability-based design principles. These requirements apply to lines 45 kV and above, but can also be applied to lines with a lower nominal voltage.

 

Also, this standard provides a framework for the preparation of national standards dealing with overhead transmission lines, using reliability concepts and employing probabilistic and semi-probabilistic methods. These national standards will need to establish local climatic data for the use and application of this standard, in addition to other data that are country-specific.

 

Although the design criteria in this standard apply to new lines, many concepts can be used to address the design and reliability requirements for refurbishment, upgrading and uprating of existing lines.

 

This document does not cover the detailed design of line components such as supports, foundations, conductors, or insulator strings.
