Steel Tubular Support (Pipe) Structures design in an Outdoor EHV Substation
In many 400/220kV Outdoor Substations, Tubular pipe type support structures are used to mount outdoor Switchyard equipment such as Isolators, Current and Voltage transformers, Lightning arresters, Post insulators, Wave traps etc. The pipe type structures offer distinct advantage over lattice type structures since the pipe type structures are simple in one piece and does not need major assembling of many pieces together at site like in case of lattice type structures. The diameter and the thickness of the pipe needs to be carefully chosen so that the pipe can withstand the static / dynamic loading of the equipment mounted upon it in addition to wind and electrical short circuit loading.
Such type of structures can be designed as per IS (Indian standard) / BS (British standard) / Eurocode / AISC (American) standards. Satcon is providing designs and drawings of pipe structure drawings of switchyard equipment since 2004. Satcon has the expertise and software to deliver such design and drawings in a short time.
