The design of a 132 kV line involves balancing electrical, mechanical, and environmental factors. Key considerations include:

• Electrical Clearance: Ensuring safe distances between conductors, and between conductors and the ground, especially with factors like wind and temperature changes. This is critical for preventing flashovers.

• Conductor Sag: The amount a conductor sags between two support structures. This must be carefully calculated to maintain minimum ground clearance under various conditions, including high temperatures and ice loading.

• Insulation Coordination: Selecting appropriate insulators and surge arresters to withstand lightning and switching overvoltages, which are a major concern at this voltage level.

• Tower Structure: Designing towers that can withstand the mechanical loads from the conductors, wind pressure, and other environmental stresses.

• Environmental Impact: Considering the line's impact on the environment, including land use and visual aesthetics.
