Total Sag given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sag of Cable = Maximum Sag+Catenary Parameter
f_cable = d+c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Sag of Cable - (Measured in Meter) - Sag of cable is vertical sag at midpoint of cable.
Maximum Sag - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Sag is the maximum catenary or the greatest amount of sag that can be allowed in the cable system.
Catenary Parameter - (Measured in Meter) - Catenary Parameter is factor found when load in increased due to self weight.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Sag: 1.44 Meter --> 1.44 Meter No Conversion Required
Catenary Parameter: 19.56 Meter --> 19.56 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Maximum Sag given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable

Go Maximum Sag = (-Catenary Parameter)+(Tension at Supports/Uniformly Distributed Load)

Tension at Supports given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable

Go Tension at Supports = (Maximum Sag+Catenary Parameter)*Uniformly Distributed Load

UDL given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable

Go Uniformly Distributed Load = Tension at Supports/(Maximum Sag+Catenary Parameter)

Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable

Go Catenary Parameter = (Tension at Supports/Uniformly Distributed Load)-Maximum Sag

Total Sag given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable

Go Sag of Cable = Maximum Sag+Catenary Parameter

Span of Cable given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable

Go Cable Span = 2*Catenary Parameter

Total Sag given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable Formula

Sag of Cable = Maximum Sag+Catenary Parameter
f_cable = d+c

What is Sag?

The vertical distance between the straight line joining the points of consecutive supports and the lowest point of the conductor is called sag. The tighter the wire, the smaller is the sag and vice-versa.

What is Catenary?

Catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends. The catenary curve has a U-like shape, superficially similar in appearance to a parabolic arch, but it is not a parabola.
