As the eigenfrequency <strong>of</strong> the portal is around 4 Hz, ESL<br />

factor synthetic curve given <strong>in</strong> chapter 3 is 1.4<br />

So that the portal design loads obta<strong>in</strong>ed by simplified<br />

method recommended <strong>in</strong> this brochure is :<br />

Load on phase 1 : max (Ft, Fst) x 1.4 = …<br />

Load on phase 2 : idem<br />

(only two phase for this test)<br />

and these load can be considered as static load.<br />

8.2. CLAMPED-FREE BEAM DYNAMIC RESPONSE TO<br />

A TOP LOAD IDENTICAL TO A SHORT-CIRCUIT<br />

FORCE. ESL VALUE, ESL FACTOR FOR<br />

DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL DATA OF THE<br />

SUPPORT.<br />

This case is different from the former one, as the load<br />

application has not the same shape as the load applied to<br />

flexible busbars. This case is more close to rigid busbars<br />

for which we would like to know how to design<br />

support<strong>in</strong>g structure (<strong>in</strong>sulator support).<br />

We would like first to emphasise that no synthetic ESL<br />

factor curve had been given for this case <strong>in</strong> this<br />

brochure. This case is reserved here just to po<strong>in</strong>t out<br />

what could be ESL load and ESL factor <strong>in</strong> a simple<br />

case.<br />

Observation time <strong>of</strong> the time response is fixed to<br />

about 0.4 s <strong>in</strong> all cases.<br />

We have treated three different case, only by<br />

chang<strong>in</strong>g the structural data to change its frequencies.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se values are taken from typical support<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>in</strong>sulator data's used <strong>in</strong> substation from 110 kV to 400<br />

kV. At least one <strong>of</strong> the three first eigenfrequencies is<br />

tuned to be resonant with either 50 Hz or 100 Hz.<br />

That is to show the dynamic <strong>effects</strong> <strong>in</strong> such structure.<br />

As the structure is supposed to be uniform mass<br />

distribution, if one frequency is fixed, the other are<br />

easily evaluated by classical beam theory.<br />

8.2.3. Examples<br />

a) Case study number one<br />

<strong>The</strong> 50 Hz is the first eigenfrequency, thus 300 Hz is<br />

the second and 850 Hz is the third.<br />

Which has been reproduced us<strong>in</strong>g follow<strong>in</strong>g data : ( a<br />
