IEEE 524-2003 pdf download IEEE Guide to the Installation of Overhead Transmission Line Conductors
1.Overview
1.1 Scope
This guide provides general recommendations for the selection of methods, equipment, and tools that havebeen found to be 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 stringingand for stringing terms commonly employed. This guide does not address special conductors such as thoseused for river and canyon crossing. These conductors may be custom designed and often may require specialconsiderations.
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 ofconductors during stringing operations. References are given in Clause 2 and the bibliography in Annex Afor those desiring more detailed information. Because the terminology used for many hardware items andfor many stringing terms varies from place to place, a list of definitions is included to provide correlationand 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 overheadtransmission conductors and overhead groundwires (OHGW) of the following types: AAAC，AACAACSR,ACAR,ACSR,ACSR/TW, CU,aluminum-clad steel OHGW,and galyanized steel OHGW.Since stringing practices for different projects will be strongly influenced by the magnitude and nature ofeach 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 whenstringing extremely long spans, severe line angles, high tensions, or special conductors. In these cases, themanufacturer should be consulted. The practices that are described in this guide provide for continuous con-trol of the conductor from the initial setup to the ready-for-service condition. Any legal requirements ofnational, 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 mmost commonly employed, then the specific requirements of the various tools and equiprent used. Finally, this guidcdescribes the application of the methods and equipment used in the stringing process.
