Stringing chart is a plot of transmission line tension and sag as a function of temperature. It is
plotted taking into account the limiting values of sag (or tension) with a factor of safety to be
occurring at the worst condition-with ice deposit and windy condition. So looking into this
chart one can find the amount of sag or tension to be kept at erection conditions
