Then you will install and sag the wires that radiate from your structure as described below.

In order to use PLS-CADD/ LITE you need first to develop design criteria in the Criteria menus (this was described in Section 7) and you need to have the appropriate ground wire and conductor models (these models were described in Section 9). Therefore, it is essential when you create a new PLS-CADD/ LITE project to name the project file with the ".loa" extension, as this is the only piece of information that lets PLS- CADD know that it should run in PLS-CADD/ LITE mode. The ".loa" extension is required to distinguish PLS-CADD/ LITE files from regular PLS-CADD files which have the ".xyz" or ".pfl" extension.

A project developed by PLS-CADD/ LITE is saved in a file named Project.loa. PLS-CADD - Version 5 (C) Power Line Systems, IncĢ Fig One possible configuration of the Model Setup dialog box While PLS-POLE and PLS-CADD/ LITE working together form the ideal combination for conducting joint-use studies of existing wood or other poles, either one of these programs can be used by itself in stand-alone mode. The pole, cross arms, insulators, associated stub poles and all guys are part of a single PLS-POLE model. The structure shown in Fig actually consists of a wood pole guyed in several directions through stub poles and span guys. Then the corresponding loading tree can be calculated for that structure and the structure checked at the click of the mouse. Fig Wood pole strung in PLS-CADD/ LITE If a structure model has been developed in the TOWER or PLS-POLE program, that model can quickly be strung with wires in any direction by entering data in a single table (see Fig. With PLS- CADD/ LITE one is able to rapidly create a model without having to manage the full terrain information of PLS-CADD.

The structure attachment points can be designated points in space or attachment points of a structure model developed in the TOWER or PLS-POLE program. Its capabilities are also available in the full version of PLS-CADD. temperature relationships for the wires radiating from a single structure. PLS-CADD/ LITE PLS-CADD/ LITE is a limited version of PLS-CADD restricted to calculations of sags, tensions, loading trees, clearances between wires, stringing tables and conductor current vs.
