set for at least 7 days. Where the existence of guy wire proves
hazardous, it should be protected with suitable asbestos pipe, filled
with concrete, of about 2Mtrs. length above the ground level, duly
painted with white and black stripes so that it may be visible at night.
The turn buckle shall be mounted at the pole end of the stay and guy
wire so fixed that the eye bolt turn buckle is half way in the working
position thus giving the maximum movement for tightening or
loosening.
Guy insulators are placed to prevent the lower part of the guy from
becoming electrically energized by a contact of the guy when the
conductors snap and fall on them or due to leakage. No guy insulator
shall be located less than 2.6Mtrs. from the ground. The anchoring and
providing guys for supports (Single guy Bow guy an fly guy) shall be
done as per sketch 3 enclosed. Bow guy and fly guy shall have to be
provided as per the field conditions.
8.0
FIXING OF CROSS ARMS AND INSULATORS

After the erection of supports and providing guys, the next step would
be mount the cross arms on the support. The cross arm is to be
mounted after the support is erected. The lineman should climb the
support having requisite tools with him and the cross arm is then tied
to a hand line and pulled up by the ground man, through a pulley till
the cross arm reaches the linemen. The ground man should station
himself well to one side so that if any material drops from the top of
the pole it may not strike him. All the materials required should be
lifted or lowered by means of the hand line. In no case, the material or
the tools should be dropped or thrown from the pole top.
The fixing of 33 KV cross arms shall be in accordance to spacing
detailed in Sketch G.I. bolts and nuts and spring washers of good
quality only shall be used which have to be procured by the contractor.

INSULATORS (As per IS 731)

The pins for insulators shall be fixed in the holes provided in the cross
arms and the pole top brackets. The insulators shall be mounted in
their places over the pins and tightened. In the case of strain or angle
supports, where strain fittings are provided for this purpose, on strap of
the strain fittings is placed over the cross arm before placing the bolts
in the hole of the cross arms. The nut of straps is so tightened that the
strap can move freely in horizontal direction, as this is necessary to fix
the strain insulator.
Note:The insulators shall be cleaned and examined for defects before
fixing. It shall be ensured that all the current carrying parts are
smooth and without dirt, cracks or chips.
10.0 STRINGING OF THE LINE CONDUCTORS:

For the guidance of the contractor in handling the conductor and in
stringing certain Dos and Donts are given below, before the workmen
actually commence the stringing work.
10.1 Dos and Donts
Dos:
Use proper equipment for handling aluminum conductors at all times.
Use skids, or similar method for lowering reels or coils from transport
or ground.
Examine reel before unreeling for presence of nails or any other object,
which might damage the conductor.
Rotate the reel or coil while unwinding conductor.
Grip all strands while pulling out the conductor.
Control the unreeling speed with a suitable braking arrangement.
Use wooden guards of suitable braking arrangement.
Use long straight, parallel jaw grip with suitable liners when pulling
conductor thus avoiding nicking or kinking of the conductor.
Use free-running sleeves or blocks with adequate grooves for
drawing/paving conductors.
Use proper sag charts.
Mark conductors with crayons or adhesive tape of such (other) material
which will not damage the strand.
CONTRACTOR
Page: 67
CHIEF ENGINEER-II
Make all splicing with the proper tools.

Use a twisting wrench for twisting the joints.
Chromate or graphite conducting oxide-inhibiting grease should be
applied before cleaning with wire brush.
Donts:
Do not handle conductors without proper tools at any stage.
Do not pull conductors without ensuring that there is no obstruction on
the ground.
Do not pull out excess quantity of conductor than required.
Do not make jumper connections on dirty or weathered conductor.
Clean the conductor using sand paper or wire brush.
Do not handle aluminum conductors in a rough fashion but handle it
with care it deserves.
10.2 Conductor Erections
The erection of overhead line conductor is a very important phase in
construction.
The erection of conductors can be sub-divided into 4 separate parts as
follows:
Transport of conductors to work site.
Paving and stringing of conductors.
Tensioning and sagging of conductors.
Jointing of conductors.
At important crossing of roads, canals, navigable rivers, railways etc.,
flagmen should be in attendance to ensure that normal services are
not unduly interrupted. These crossings should only be carried out in
conjunction with and with the approval of the proper authorities
concerned.
The conductor drums shall be transported to the tension point without
injuring the conductor. If, it is necessary to roll the drum on the ground
for a small distance, it should be slowly rolled in the direction of the
arrow marked on the drum. The drum should be so supported that it
can be rotated freely. For this purpose the drum should either be
mounted on the cable drum supports or jacks or hung by means of
chain pulley of suitable capacity, suspended from a tripod. In case if it
is not possible to raise the conductor drum by any of the above
methods, a trench of suitable depth slightly bigger than the conductor
drum may be dug, so as to facilitate free rotations of the drum when it
is suspended in the trench by means of M.S. Shaft. While paving, care
CONTRACTOR
Page: 68
CHIEF ENGINEER-II
should be taken to see that conductor does not rub against any
metallic fitting of the pole or on the bad/rocky ground. Wooden tussles
should be used for this purpose to support the conductor.
The conductor should be passed over the poles on wooden or
aluminum snatch pulley blocks provided with low friction bearings.
While conductor is being paved out slowly, some braking arrangements
should be made so that the rotation of the drum may be stopped in
emergency.
In case the length of one piece of the conductor is less than the length
of the section in which conductor paving is being done, it is easy to
stretch one length of all phases from one end and the remaining length
from another end of the section and thereafter jointing the two ends of
the conductor where they meet on no account any part of the
conductor shall be left at a height of less than 5 meters. Above the
ground over night and the work shall be so arranged that before the
end of the day, the conductor shall be raised to minimum height of 5
meters above the ground by rough sagging.
10.3
Mid Span Jointing of Conductors:

The mid span jointing of conductors should be carried out by using
2Nos. aluminum ferrules of required size, one inner and one outer
ferrule and the crimping of the ferrules is to be done by using proper
crimping tools. Aluminum tape is to be wound over the conductor
before insertion into the ferrules to have better grip.
10.4
Sagging and Tensioning:

On the completion of the paving of the conductors and making midspan joints if any, tensioning operations will commence. Temporary
stays will have to be provided for both the anchoring supports in the
section where the stringing has to be done. At the tensioning end, one
of the conductors is pulled manually up to a certain point and then
come along clamp is fixed to the conductor to be tensioned. The grip
to the come along clamp is attached to double sleeve pulley block or
the pulley lift machine and gradually tensioned.
The conductor should then be sagged in accordance with the sagtemperature chart for the particular conductor and span. The sag
should then be adjusted in the middle span of the section. The
Engineer will provide the sag chart.
CONTRACTOR
Page: 69
CHIEF ENGINEER-II
The stretch of the conductor has to be taken out before stringing in

order to avoid the gradual increase in sag due to the setting down of
the individual wires. There are ways of accomplishing this.
10.5
Pre Stressing:
In this method the conductor is pulled up to a tension considerably
above the correct figure, but never exceeding fifty percent of breaking
load for a short period of say twenty minutes. As this method requires
more time and involves the use of stronger tackle to secure the higher
tension the other method of over-tensioning is commonly adopted.
10.6
Over tensioning:
This method consists of pulling up the conductor to a tension a little
above the theoretical tension for the prevailing temperature and fixed
it up at that tension with correspondingly reduced sag. After a certain
time the conductor will settle down to the correct sag and tension. A
tension of five to eight percent more than the theoretical value has
been found to be suitable for the sizes of ACSR and AAAC conductors
standardized by REC. The ambient temperature during sagging may
be recorded correctly.
Conductors can be sagged correctly only when the tension is the same
in each span through out the entire length of the section. Use of
snatch blocks reduces the friction and chances of inequality of tension
in various spans.
Sagging can be accomplished by several different methods but most
commonly used method is sighting. The sighting sag method of
measuring sag is by the use of targets placed on the supports below
the cross arms. The targets may be light strip of wood clamped to the
pole at a distance equal to the sag below the conductor when the
conductor is placed in snatch block. The lineman sees the sag from
the next pole. The tension of the conductor is then reduced or
increased, until, the lowest part of the conductor in the span coincides
with the linemans line of sight.
When sagging is completed, the tension clamps shall be fixed. The
clamp can be fitted on the conductor without releasing the tension. A
mark is made on the conductor at a distance from the cross arms equal
to the length of complete strain insulator. Before the insulator sets is
raised to position, all nuts should be free. Come along clamp is placed
CONTRACTOR
Page: 70
CHIEF ENGINEER-II
on the conductor beyond the conductor clamp and attached to the

pulling unit. The conductor is pulled insufficiently to allow the insulator
assembly to be fitted to the clamp. After the conductor is clamped to
insulator, assembly unit may be released gradually. If the tension is
released with a jerk, an abnormal stress may be transferred to
conductor and support, which may result in the failure of the cross
arms, stay or pole in some cases. After the stringing is completed, all
poles, cross arms, insulators, fitting etc., are checked up to ensure that
there have been no deformities etc.
The next step is to place the conductor on the top of the pin insulator
from the snatch block and removing snatch blocks. Conductors are
then fastened to insulator by the use of aluminum wires. The following
points should be observed:
Proper size of the binding wire which can be readily handled and with
adequate strength to be used.
The length of tie wire should be sufficiently long for making complete
tie including the end allowance for gripping with the ends.
A good tie should provide a secure binding between the line conductor
and insulator and should reinforce the conductor on either side of the
insulator.
The use of cutting pliers for binding the site wire should be avoided.
The tie wire, which has been used, previously should not be re-used.
Before tieing the conductor to the insulator two layers of aluminum
tape should be wrapped over the conductor in the portion where it
touches the insulator. The width and thickness of aluminum tape to be
used for a specific size of conductors has been specified in handbooks
of aluminum conductor manufactures and the same may be preferred
to. The aluminum tapes should also be used at the tension clamp and
for proper grip.
Normally in straight runs of line, the conductors are run on the top of
insulators, when there is small angle of deviation the conductor is
placed inside groove and binded. Accordingly, there are two methods
of tieing the conductors to insulators. The binding wire/tie wire has to
CONTRACTOR
Page: 71
CHIEF ENGINEER-II
be procured by the contractor and the bid price shall include the cost
of this.
The contractor shall entirely responsible for any damage to the
supports, other accessories and conductor. He shall also be
responsible for proper distribution of the conductor drums to keep
number and lengths of cut pieces of the conductor to a minimum.
10.7
Conductor damage and repair:

If the conductor is damaged for whatever reasons and damage is not
repaired aluminum sleeves etc., it shall be brought to the notice of the
Engineer and shall not be used without his approval. Even repairing of
conductor surfaces shall be done only in case of minor damages, scuff
marks etc. which are safe from both electrical and mechanical points of
view. The final conductor surface shall be clean, smooth, without any
projections, sharp points, cut or abrasion etc., giving satisfactory
corona and R.I performance.
No joint or splice be made in spans crossing over main roads, railways,
small rivers or in tension spans. Not more than one joint per conductor
shall be allowed in one span. The strength of the joint shall confirm to
I.E rule 75.
10.8 Stringing rate:

The stringing rate for stringing of the conductor per route length of line
shall include paving, stringing, clamping, jointing, tensioning, strain
disc binding, clamping and fitting of all necessary accessories.
Wherever necessary ground clearance have to be measured to ensure
obtaining adequate line clearance as per I.E. rule 77 (I).
10.9 Jumpering
The jumpering at all locations where it is required i.e. cut points and
tapping points etc. Should be done by using aluminum T-Clamps of
suitable size required for the conductor, and using aluminum tape over
the conductor at the T-clamp location to have a better grip. The bolts
of the T-clamps should be tightened to the required torque to prevent
any loose contacts at the jumper locations.
10.10
TESTS:
The following tests shall be carried out on wires used for AAAC as per
detailed procedures and test samples given in the IS 398 Part-IV/1994
