Introduction
The ALCOA graphic method traditionally has been used to calculate sag-tension. Using this
methodology, conventional programs calculate the conductor s sag-tension characteristics
without reference to the characteristic s influence on other components of a transmission line.
Trimble has refined the stress-strain coefficients used as input by the ALCOA method. In
addition to this sag-tension data, the program inputs consider conductor composition, stresstrain properties, adjustment for temperature and creep, the annealing factor, and tolerances.
These factors enable the program to calculate regular sags and tensions of ruling spans, in
addition to providing users with access to new output on structural loads, actual spans, inclined
spans, regularly occurring loads, rarely occurring loads, low point and sighted sags, and uplift
tensions.
0 Input Refinements
To predict the performance of installed conductors, the Trimble program requires two types of
input: conductor parameters and conductor variables. Conductor parameters are properties
affiliated with a particular conductor type. Conductor variables refer to external factors that act
with the conductor s parameters and influence the performance of the conductor in field
application.
Conductor Parameters
The Trimble system provides a user-selectable window of commonly-used conductors, including
conductors made of two components (e.g. ACSR), homogeneous conductors (e.g. AAC), and
fictitious two-component conductors made from a material equivalent to a single component
conductor. Unlike traditional sag-tension programs that rely on a database to define properties for
the selected conductor, these values are calculated by an auxiliary program. Developed by
Trimble, this program works with the sag-tension program. The calculated properties associated
with the selected conductor are used in analysis calculations and include:
Stress distribution between the outer and inner components (useful to evaluate Aeolian
vibration performance)
Conductor tension at higher temperatures, which is carried entirely by the inner
component resulting in smaller sags. This feature can be turned on or off at the discretion
of the user.
As new conductors are requied, the auxiliary program requires minimal input: conductor type,
stranding, and size (e.g. ACSR, 26/7, and MCM). Using this data, the program calculates the
required properties. These calculated values can be reviewed, modified, and stored for use by the
sag-tension program. Coefficients for new conductors are also calculated using known
coefficients originating from third parties, such as The Aluminum Association and ALCOA, and
standard or conventional stress-strain-creep (S-S-C) charts. This feature makes it faster and
simpler to analyze new conductors.
Stress-Strain Properties
Traditionally, stress-strain (S-S) properties used in the ALCOA method have been
defined through polynomials of the third and four orders, namely four or five coefficients
for each component. While these polynomials are accurate and satisfactory, they result in
errors at higher conductor strains.

A new version of Southwire's SAG10 software for calculating sag and tension in overhead conductors is now available with featured enhancements:

In ACSR/AW conductors, the steel core is protected from corrosion by an aluminum coating. The aluminum-clad core shows more thermal elongation than conventional cores, resulting in different stress-strain characteristics. Earlier versions of SAG10 handled ACSR/AW conductors as an easily overlooked check box under Main Menu\Tools\Options. In v3.10.10, ACSR/AW conductors have a separate radio button.

Previous versions of SAG10 intermittently failed to carry forward the correct horizontal tension values from sag and tension calculations. V3.10.10 corrects this issue.

Metric users on occasion have seen values in their problem files converted to metric units for a second time when the file is reopened at a later date, resulting in a double conversion. This issue has been addressed, but metric users are advised to recheck problem file data each time the file is reopened, as there are still cases where SAG10 doesn't correctly control conversion of SI units.

V3.10.10 corrects inaccuracies in metric conversions for twisted-pair conductors.
