In Finland BS EN 50341-2-7:2015 can only be applied using this NNA (EN 50341-
2-7) containing National Normative Aspects for Finland.The requirements of the standard are applied also for low voltage (below 1 kV AC) overhead
lines. The requirements of the structural design are applicable also for DC overhead lines,
where the electrical requirements are given in the Project Specification.This standard is applicable for new overhead lines only.Overhead lines complying with the mechanical and electrical requirements of its original date
of construction can be operated and maintained, if they do not cause obvious danger.
The reparation and overhaul of lines can be done according to the previous requirements.
Reparation means that a component which has been damaged is substituted with a similar
new one. Overhaul means a wider improvement of the line for extending its lifetime. The
basic structure remains same as before.This standard should be used for all modification works on existing lines. In modification
works earlier norms and standards may also be used. In that case it shall especially be
verified that changes in actions do not have significant impact on the loads of lines.
Modification work means e.g. relocation of some supports or an extension to a line when this
supplement has been taken into account in the original design, e.g. addition of a circuit or
changing of the conductors to existing supports.Cross References:SFS 2662SFS 5717SFS 6000SFS 6001SFS 6002EN 50110-1/2RIL 202SFS-EN 1992-1-1RIL 207SFS-EN 1997-1RIL 254Replaces BS EN 50423-3:2005 and BS EN 50341-3:2001 which remain currentAll current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
