BusForce

Loads on flexible busbars

The loads at the dead-end points, load case by load case — from self weight to short circuit.

Inside the program

BusForce screen: profile of a 60 m span with an 8 m height difference, dead-end insulator strings and an off-center in-span insulator string; in the foreground, the tensions and dead-end loads.
