Description / Abstract:
This guide provides recommendations for the selection of methods
and equipment that have been found effective and practical for
grounding during the installation of overhead transmission line
conductors and overhead ground wires. This guide is directed at
transmission voltages only. Installation of overhead conductors for
distribution circuits generally involves similar conditions;
however, the specific recommendations of this guide have not been
developed to include all situations encountered at distribution
voltages. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of
definitions for equipment and tools used in effective grounding
during the stringing operation.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to present in one document
sufficient details of present day grounding practices and equipment
used in effective grounding during installation of overhead
transmission line conductors and ground wires, and to provide
electrical theory and considerations necessary to safeguard
personnel during the stringing operations of transmission
lines.
