IEEE Guide to Grounding During the Installation of Overhead Transmission Line Conductors
Amendment by IEEE, 07/13/1994
Full Description
Scope
This guide provides recommendations for the selection of methods and equipment that have been foundeffective 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
Abstract
Amendment Standard - Superseded.General recommendations for the selection of methods and equipment found to be effective and practical for grounding during the stringing of overhead trasmission line conductors andoverhead ground wires are provided. The guide is directed to transmission voltages only. The aimis to present in one document sufficient details of present day grounding practices and equipmentused in effective grounding and to provide electrical theory and considerations necessary to safeguard personnel during the stringing operations of transmission lines.
