IEEE 1863-2024

IEEE Guide for Overhead Alternating Current (AC) Transmission Line Design

Covered in this guide are basic principles, methods, and experience for (design of 110 kV to 1000 kV) alternating current (ac) overhead transmission lines. This guide may also be used as a reference for the design of lower-voltage overhead transmission lines. Included in this guide are an introduction, definitions, meteorological design and criteria, electrical design, structural design criteria, design of foundations, experiment results, and design experience. This guide is a listing of the information and procedures that can be referenced during the design of ac transmission lines. Guidance is provided for transmission line designers in the data collection design stage.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


1863-2019
IEEE Guide for Overhead AC Transmission Line Design

Methods for designing 110 kV to 1000 kV ac overhead transmission lines are provided and may also be used as reference for the design of lower voltage overhead transmission lines. The principles and procedures for designing weather-resistant conductor, ground wire, insulator, structure, and foundation of ac transmission overhead lines are specified.

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
