3.T = 0.11875 x L²/F

4.T = 0.15625 x L²/F

5.T = 0.18125 x L²/F

Formulae for Calculating the Stringing Tension

  • T = PL²/8F
  • T = Tension
  • P = Weight per m in kg.
  • L = Span lenghth in m
  • F = Sag in the middle of the span
  • EXAMPLE
  • for 3x70+54.6+25
  • P = 1.25kg/m
  • L = 50m
  • F = 0.68m from sag chart at 25°C
  • THEREFORE:T = 1.25X50²/8X0.68
  • T = 574KG

  • Where: AB, BC, CD, etc = pole spacings
  • AE = distance between strain poles
  • a = Equivalent span in meters.
