ABSTRACT
In this paper Analysis of square based 132 KV Transmission Tower is carried out keeping in view to supply optimum utilization of electric supply and increasing population in the locality, in India. Transmission line tower has a less than 50% total cost. The increasing demand for electrical energy can be met more economical by developing different light weight configurations of transmission line towers. In this project, an attempt has been made to make the transmission line more cost effective keeping in view to provide optimum electric supply for the required area by considering unique transmission line tower structure. The tower is designed for wind zone IV. The objective of this research is met by choosing a 132 KV tower with square based Self Supporting Lattice Towers with a view to optimize the existing geometry. Using STAAD PRO v8i analysis has been carried out.
