SOLARTODO 22m 35kV Distribution Double Circuit Power Tower: hot-dip galvanized Q420 steel lattice tangent suspension tower, 120 m design span, 2 circuits × 3 ACSR conductors, OPGW ground wire, IEC 60826 / GB 50545 compliant, 50-year design life. EPC Turnkey $9,200–$13,800 per tower.
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.
