Ongoing improvements make SAG10 an even better value for overhead conductor design.

If you're involved with sag and tension calculations for overhead conductors, you may already know about Southwire's SAG10 software and its value for speeding conductor selection for line design. SAG10 is the industry standard, Windows XP-based software that automates sag and tension calculations. Southwire has been making improvements to the software in recent months, and the latest updates are available from the SAG10 website at www.sag10.com.

"SAG10 users now have access to updates that improve calculation accuracy, and also to continuing conductor database enhancements," says Mark Lancaster, manager of overhead transmission engineering. "Coupled with a well-established support program, these updates deliver solutions that enhance system reliability and performance."

If you own SAG10 version 3.0, either single-user or LAN license, you can update to version 3.10 now for free. Registered SAG10 users receive email notifications of updates and can receive new data files via email.

Southwire's SAG10 Updates Improve Sag and Tension Solutions - 2009

Ongoing improvements make SAG10 an even better value for overhead conductor design.

If you're involved with sag and tension calculations for overhead conductors, you may already know about Southwire's SAG10 software and its value for speeding conductor selection for line design. SAG10 is the industry standard, Windows XP-based software that automates sag and tension calculations.

"SAG10 users now have access to updates that improve calculation accuracy, and also to continuing conductor database enhancements," says Mark Lancaster, manager of overhead transmission engineering. "Coupled with a well-established support program, these updates deliver solutions that enhance system reliability and performance."

  • Owners of SAG10 v3.10 can access ongoing enhancements that improve solution quality. Version 3.10.5 contains all previous patches, so it's now the only upgrade users need.
  • Calculations for twisted-pair vibration-resistant conductors now have improved accuracy. This will be of particular interest to engineers in the Midwest, where wind-induced vibration is a common problem.
  • The ACSR-TW (trapezoidal wire) database is being updated and new data is expected in late 2009.
  • Data for 3M composite-core conductors is expected to be available later this year as well. 

If you own SAG10 version 3.0, either single-user or LAN license, you can update to version 3.10 now for free. Registered SAG10 users receive email notifications of updates and can receive new data files via email.
