This guide provides a template to assist line design engineers in gathereing information and organizing it into a coherent design criteria document for use in the design of overhead electric power transmission lines, generally at voltages of 69 kV and higher. The guide will also be useful for the design of lower voltage lines. This guide assists in application to engineers for the preparation of a design criteria document used for overhead transmission lines. A design criteria documents the data and assumptions used; the sources of the data and assumptions; the conventions, standards, guides, and design manuals used; and the design method(s) used in the design of the transmission line. The guide offers a comprehensive table of contents of the important criteria that should be taken into consideration in the design of transmission lines. The guide discusses the various criteria. The guide does not recommend criteria values, as would a design manual, but lists and discusses the importance of the criteria. The design engineer must determine the values to use based on the location, ambient conditions, and importance of the line. New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Reserved. A suggested outline for information that should be included in a design criteria for overhead transmission lines is presented in this guide. This guide is not a design criteria or a design manual, it is a listing of the information that is required during the design of a transmission line, and provides guidance for line designers in the collection and documentation of how the line was designed; including the sources of information used in design and the design approach used.
