The amount of sag in a power line is influenced by several key factors:

• Conductor Weight: Sag is directly proportional to the weight of the conductor. Heavier conductors will naturally have more sag.

• Span Length: The distance between two support structures (the span) has a major impact. Sag is directly proportional to the square of the span length. A longer span will result in significantly more sag.

• Conductor Tension: Sag is inversely proportional to the tension in the conductor. Increasing the tension will decrease the sag, and vice-versa. Our advanced conductor tension stringing equipment is designed to achieve the precise tension required for a specific sag.

• Temperature: Temperature is one of the most dynamic factors. An increase in temperature causes the conductor to expand, leading to a greater sag.

• External Loads: Factors like wind pressure and ice accumulation add weight and force to the conductor, increasing the sag.
