June 2012: Now use ANSI O strength check for wood poles.Ĭlick here to see a schedule of the structures that are available in the. November 2012: Chained insulators modeled in a manner that is compatible with PLS-CADD 12.30. January 2013: Now use more conservative calculation of double crossarm capacity as detailed in the notes section of the component file. September 2013: Updated to use new REA crossarms component library.įebruary 2013: Added new structure voltages 24.9/14.4 KV, 34 KV, and 46 KV. October 2015: Updated to use new crossarm library and framing library available. This framing library requires PLS-POLE version 14.00 or newer. To download a framing library file containing all of these RUS Framings, tailored for distribution use. To download a framing library file containing all of these RUS Framings. These models require PLS-POLE version 14.00 or newer. To download a bak file containing all of these RUS PLS-POLE Models. Click here to see a video demonstrating the use of the Framing Manager To make these changes to the framing library. You can also use the Components/ Framing/ Update Component Library Items like component libraries or strength checks you can use the File/Batch Modify command to quickly modify all structures in the structure library. If you would like to make any changes to the assumptions in the model including These files are provided as examples that must be reviewed by the engineer of record to verify and confirm all inputs. You can also use the Components/ Framing/ Import Other Models command to import other standard framings into the library. The File menu in PLS-POLE to create a family of pole heights and classes forĮach company's standard libraries and/or specific projects. Provided below, and then you may simply use the Batch Save command under To meet your own requirements in PLS-POLE.) We recommend that these changes be made to the “seed structures” PLS-POLE user, you should be familiar with how easy it is to change things RUS models follow company specific requirements, and modifications be made therein to meet such requirements. They MUST be reviewed by a competent engineer familiar with their structure standards to ensure that the To make using RUS structure specifications and framings easy, Power Line Systems has developed PLS-POLE models and a Framing library of these standardįramings. The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has developed structure specifications andįramings for many structures from distribution voltage levels through 230 kV that many engineers use either directly, or with modifications, for their line design needs. PLS-POLE allows line designers to easily develop their own structures according to their own specifications.
