IEEE 524: pdf download.IEEE Guide to the Installation of Overhead Transmission Line Conductors.
This guide provides general recommendations for the selection of methods, equipment. and tools that have been found to he practical for the stringing of overhead transmission line conductors and overhead ground- wires. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of definitions for equipment and tools used in stringing and for stringing terms commonly employed. This guide does not address special conductors such as those used for river and canyon crossing. These conductors may be custom designed and may often require special considerations.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to present in one document sufficient details of present day methods, materials. and equipment to outline the basic considerations necessary for maintaining safe and adequate control of conductors during stringing operations. References are given in Section 2 for those desiring more detailed information. Because the terminology used for many hardware items and for many stringing terms varies from place to place, a list of definitions is included to provide correlation and clarification of the terms most commonly employed.
1.3 Application
This guide is broad enough yet specific enough to be applicable to the stringing of conventional overhead transmission conductors and overhead groundwires (OHGW) of the following types: AAAC, AAC, AACSR, ACAR, ACSR, ACSR/TW, aluminum-clad steel OHGW, and galvanized steel OHGW. Since stringing practices for different projects will be strongly influenced by the magnitude and nature of each project and by local circumstances, alternate methods that have been successfully employed are presented. Information contained in this guide may not be sufficient for certain special cases, such as when stringing extremely long spans, severe line angles. high tensions, or special conductors and overhead ground wires such as T-2, SSAC, SDC, and OPGW. In these cases, the manufacturer should be consulted. The practices that are described in this guide provide for continuous control of the conductor from the initial setup to the ready for-service condition. Any legal requirements of national, state, or local regulations must, of course, be observed.
The approach used within this guide is first to describe, in general terms, the stringing methods most commonly employed, then the specific requirements of the various tools and equipment used. Finally, the application of the methods and equipment to the process of stringing is described.
