On October 13, 2023, a tower test was conducted on the 220KV transmission tower.

In the morning, after several hours of hard work by technicians, the 220KV transmission tower test was successfully completed. This tower type is the heaviest among the 220KV transmission towers tested this year. The weight of the tower is determined based on local wind speeds and geological conditions. A heavier tower can increase its resistance to wind and seismic forces, reduce the need for maintenance and repairs, and increase its long-term reliability and service life.

To ensure transmission tower safety, stability and performance as well as customer satisfaction, tower testing is performed prior to installation. Tower testing is an important step to verify the strength and stability of the tower structure to ensure its ability to withstand the weight of power equipment, wind loads and seismic forces. Through tower testing, the construction process, assembly methods, and any problems during the manufacturing process can be checked to ensure the quality and efficiency of the tower. In addition, tower testing evaluates the performance of the tower under actual operating conditions, such as wind resistance, vibration response, thermal expansion and contraction, etc. Based on the tower test results, design improvements and material optimization can be made to improve the overall performance and reliability of the tower. Therefore, tower testing plays an important role in ensuring the safe production of towers.
