Description

The SOLARTODO 22m 35kV Distribution Double Circuit Power Tower is a high-performance steel lattice structure engineered for suburban power distribution networks. Standing at 22 meters tall, this tangent suspension tower supports two circuits of 35kV medium-voltage transmission lines, connecting substations to local distribution grids. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized Q420/Q460 steel angle bars, it delivers a 50-year design life compliant with IEC 60826, GB 50545, and ASCE 10-15.

The lattice framework features an open triangular/square cross-section that is wider at the base (~4.5 m) and tapers toward the top, distributing vertical conductor loads and transverse wind loads efficiently. Two sets of horizontal cross-arms at the apex support six ACSR conductor strings (three per circuit) via suspension insulator I-strings, allowing natural conductor swing under wind loading. An OPGW ground wire at the tower peak provides simultaneous lightning protection and fiber-optic communication capability. Tower footing resistance is maintained below 10 ohms standard, or below 4 ohms for high-lightning-activity zones.

Clients may select porcelain disc insulators (proven reliability, 50+ year service) or composite polymer insulators (30% lighter, vandal-resistant, superior pollution flashover performance). The standard design span is 120 m, optimized for suburban distribution corridors. The double-circuit configuration doubles power delivery capacity within a single right-of-way, reducing land acquisition costs by up to 40% compared to two separate single-circuit lines. Compared to concrete distribution poles of equivalent height, the steel lattice design reduces structural material volume by approximately 30% while achieving superior load ratings.

A regional utility operator in Southeast Asia deployed a 15-tower SOLARTODO 35kV double-circuit network to upgrade sub-transmission infrastructure serving 12,000 new residential connections. The modular bolted assembly allowed erection of each tower in under two days without heavy crane equipment, reducing total construction time by 25% versus cast-in-place concrete alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard design span for this 35kV tower?
The standard design span is 120 meters, optimized for suburban distribution networks. This balances the number of towers required against the mechanical tension limits of ACSR conductors under Class B wind and 15 mm ice loading. Custom spans from 80 m to 180 m are available upon request based on site-specific wind and terrain analysis.
What does the EPC Turnkey price include, and what is the warranty coverage?
The EPC Turnkey price of $9,200–$13,800 per tower includes structural engineering design, all steel and electrical components, international shipping, concrete foundation construction, tower erection, conductor stringing, OPGW installation, grounding system, commissioning, acceptance testing, and a 1-year comprehensive warranty covering structural and electrical defects.
Can the tower be customized for higher wind or ice load zones?
Yes. The standard design accommodates Class B wind loads and 15 mm ice thickness. SOLARTODO's engineering team can modify steel profiles, lattice geometry, and cross-arm dimensions to meet Class C or Class D wind zones, or ice accumulations up to 30 mm, in accordance with IEC 60826 and local national grid standards.
What type of foundation is required, and how is it determined?
The standard foundation is a reinforced concrete pad-and-chimney design. Exact dimensions are determined during the engineering phase through site-specific geotechnical soil analysis. For soft or expansive soils, bored pile foundations are available at approximately $800 per meter of pile depth, ensuring adequate bearing capacity and overturning resistance.
How is the steel structure protected against corrosion over its 50-year life?
All steel components — angle bars, gusset plates, cross-arms, and fasteners — are hot-dip galvanized per ISO 1461, applying a minimum 85 µm zinc coating. This provides robust cathodic protection against corrosion in industrial, coastal, and tropical environments. Periodic inspection every 10 years and touch-up of any damaged coating areas ensures the full 50-year design life is achieved.
