Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to developing a cyclone-resilient pole for electricity distribution lines. More specifically, the present invention relates to developing a low-cost cyclone and high-speed wind-resilient pole for 11KV and 33KV lines.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Every year the world’s population increases significantly. With this high rate of increase in population different demands of the population should also be fulfilled. One such demand is electricity demands. Many humans are living in coastal areas and there are a lot of major coastal cities which are densely populated and have great electricity and power demands. Hence large number of electrical lines are present in coastal areas and they require poles to be properly held and can supply power properly.
Coastal areas have been Cyclone prone for decades. In recent years, these areas have faced cyclones more frequently & those have resulted in huge damages to Power Lines & other Infrastructure. A comprehensive study of the high intensity winds & effects on existing Poles & Lines has been carried out. Study suggests that we should design our poles & lines to withstand 300Kmph wind gust considering the extreme climatic conditions of future. A cyclonic wind factor of 1.3 to be used to calculate the pole strength for coastal areas. It is to be noted that 260Kmph wind speed was already recorded by IMD in the coastal areas.
The existing invention is not cost-effective in design and has poor strength thus the existing inventions are not able to overcome the problem associated with high-speed wind. Thus there is a need for the present invention to overcome the above mention problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rebar-laced pole. The rebar-laced pole includes a lower half portion and the upper half portion. The lower half portion includes a first base plate, a second base plate, a third base plate, a fourth plate, a lower angle bar column, a lower rebar rod, and a rib plate. Herein, the first base plate, the second base plate, the third base plate, and the fourth plate are placed in four corners in a square configuration thus forming the base of the lower half portion. The four numbers of the lower angle bar column are mounted vertically on the first base plate, the second base plate, the third base plate, and the fourth plate, thus making a box-type frame of the rebar-laced pole. Each of four numbers of the lower angle bar column are mounted vertically on the first base plate, the second base plate, the third base plate, and the fourth plate, and is laced with a lower rebar rod through welding thus providing strength to the box-type frame of the rebar-laced pole. The rib plate is welded between each four numbers of the lower angle bar column and the first base plate, the second base plate, the third base plate, and the fourth plate respectively. The upper half portion includes a cleat, an upper angle bar column, an upper rebar rod. Herein four numbers of the upper angle bar column are welded to the four numbers of the lower angle bar column respectively, through the cleat. Herein each of four numbers of the upper angle bar column is laced with the upper rebar rod through welding thus providing strength to the box-type frame of the rebar-laced pole. The lower angle bar column has a higher size as compared to the upper angle bar column, thus the lower angle bar column is of higher strength than the upper angle bar column so that the rebar-laced pole can withstand high wind speed since the impact of the high wind speed is on the lower portion of the column. The varied sized of the lower angle bar column, the upper angle bar column, the upper rebar rod, and the lower rebar rod optimized the cost of the rebar-laced pole and simultaneously provide strength to the rebar-laced pole.
