GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS

All construction work shall be done in a safe, thorough, and workmanlike manner in accordance with the staking sheets, plans and specifications, and the construction drawings.

The provisions of 7 CFR section 1724.50 “Compliance with National Electrical Safety Code (NESC)” applies to all borrower electric system facilities regardless of the source of financing.

A borrower must ensure that its electric system, including all electric all electric distribution, transmission and generating facilities, is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with all applicable provisions of the most current and accepted criteria of the

National Electric Safety Code (NESC) and all applicable and current electrical and safety requirements of any State or local governmental entity. This requirement applies to the borrower’s electrical system regardless of the source of financing. Copies of the NESC may be obtained from the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. at the following address:

IEEE Customer Service

445 Hoes Lane, PO Box 1331

Piscataway, NJ 088555-1331

Any electrical standard requirement established by RUS are in addition to, and not in substitution for or a modification of, the most current and accepted criteria of the NESC and any applicable electrical or safety requirement of any State or local governmental entity.

Overhead distribution circuits shall be constructed with not less than Grade C strength requirements as described in section 26, Strength Requirements, of the NESC when subjected to the loads specified in NESC Section 25, Loadings for Grade B and C. Overhead transmission circuits shall be constructed with not less than Grade B strength requirements as described in NESC

Section 26.

The drawings of equipment and materials used in the construction assemblies are meant depict the general categories of items found in RUS Informational Publication 202-1, “list of Materials

Accepted for Use on Systems of RUS Electrification Borrowers,” material that resembles a specific product or a manufacturer is unintentional.

Materials to be used for construction are designated by one of more small alphabetical characters shown on the drawings and in the “ITEM” column in the material blocks. The borrower may use any material contained in the “list of Materials” from the category of materials as designated by the corresponding small letter(s). For example, “b” designates a steel, pole top pin.

7 | P a g e

The borrower may use, at its discretion, any of the applicable pole top pins from category “b” of the “List of Materials.”

Similarly, the drawings of the bulletin show the use of three 4 ¼ -inch, ANSI Class 52-9A suspension insulators for 24.9 / 14.4 kV primary deadends. The borrower may use three 6-inch, ANSI Class 52-1 or two, 9-inch, ANSI Class 52-4 suspension insulators or one polymer distribution insulator, all of which are contained in category “k” in the List of Materials.” In the latter cases, the quantity (“QTY”) of the insulators to be used must be modified accordingly.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required (14 CFR part 77) that in cases where structures or conductors will exceed a height of 200 feet, or are within 20,000 feet of an airport the nearest regional or area office of the FAA be contacted and FAA Form 7460-1 be filled if necessary.

8 | P a g e

CONDUCTOR INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS

Conductors must be handled with care. Conductors shall neither be trampled on nor run over by vehicles. Each reel shall be examined and the wire inspected for cuts, kinks, or other injuries.

Injured portions shall be cut out and the conductor spliced. The conductors shall be pulled over suitable rollers or stringing blocks properly mounted on the pole or crossarm if necessary to prevent binding while stringing.

Conductors shall be sagged in accordance with conductors with the conductor manufacture’s recommendations. All conductors shall be sagged evenly. The air temperature at the time and place of sagging shall be determined by a certified thermometer.

The sag of all conductors after stringing shall be in accordance with the engineer’s instructions.

Conductors shall be spliced and dead-ended as shown on the construction drawings. There shall be not more than one splice per conductor in any span and splices shall be located at least 10 feet from the conductor support. No splices shall be located in Grade B crossing spans and preferably not in adjacent spans. Splices shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations.

All conductors shall be cleaned thoroughly by wirebrushing before splicing or installing connectors or clamps. A suitable inhibitor shall be used before splicing or applying connectors over aluminum conductor.

Connectors and hot-line clamps suitable for the purpose shall be installed as shown on the drawings and also in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations.

On all hot-line clamp installations, the clamp and jumper shall be installed so that they are permanently bonded to the load side of the line, allowing the jumper to be de-energized when the clamp is disconnected.

The use of stirrups to connect tap conductors (jumper wires) to primary conductors may be used if the following criteria are met:

• The stirrup and hot line clamp shall be sized to meet or exceed the current carrying capacity of the tap conductor or equipment jumper;

• All stirrup conductors shall be made of copper or bronze;

• All stirrup conductors shall be made of #2 copper equivalent or larger;

• All-purpose or aluminum hot line clamps shall not be used with stirrups;

• All stirrups, connectors, and clamps shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications;

9 | P a g e

• Stirrups with two compression connectors are not to be used in areas of vibrating conductors;

• Stirrups are not to be used to connect main lines or heavily loaded tap lines.

Stirrups are not recommended to be used to connect reclosers, autotransformers, or line regulators. Stirrups and hot line clamps should not be used for sectionalizing tap and especially main lines for operational or maintenance purposes. Permanent compression or bolted type connectors should be used because of their better current carrying capabilities and reliability.

Line switches, fused cutouts, or solid blade cutouts should be used at line locations where occasional line sectionalizing may be required.

At locations where permanent connections using compression or bolted types connectors are not desired, and where the installation or sectionalizing equipment is also not desired, then the standards specify the installation of hot line clamps (over armor rod on aluminum conductors).

10 | P a g e

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR POLE TOP ASSEMBLIES

Line designs which use high poles to clear obstacles such as railroads must avoid upstrain on pin-type or post type insulators on adjacent shorter poles.

The neutral conductor should be installed on the same side (preferably the road side) of all of the tangent and small angle poles throughout the length of line.

Prior RUS approval is given if it is under the circumstances necessary to lower the neutral attachment on standard construction pole top assemblies an additional distance not exceeding

2 feet for the purpose of economically meeting conductor clearance requirements of the NESC.

Prior RUS approval is given if it is under the circumstances necessary to lower the neutral attachment on standard construction pole top assemblies an additional distance of up to 6 feet for the purpose of performing construction and future line maintenance on these assemblies from bucket trucks designed for such work.

With pin-type or post-type insulators, the conductor must be tied to the top groove of the insulator on tangent poles and on the side of the insulator away from the strain at angles. Pin-type and post-type insulators must be tight on the pins and brackets, respectively, and the top groove must be in line with the conductor after tying.

Factor-formed ties must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations.

A 3 inch by 3 inch (minimum), square curved washer, item “d”, shall be used abutting the pole when installing primary or neutral conductor deadend assemblies directly to the pole to mitigate the crushing of wood fibers and to facilitate the allowable longitudinal loading as given in the design parameters on the construction drawings.

A locknut must be installed with each nut and eyenut, on all machine, upset, and double arming bolts, and all other threaded hardware such as insulator pins and studs.

The calculated “maximum line angles” values in the tables are based on the “designated maximum transverse loading on insulator pins as specified by RUS, and the application of the appropriate overload factors from the 1997 edition of the NESC.

“Allowable longitudinal (or transverse) loading” values in the design parameters were derived from known or designated maximum strengths of materials to which the appropriate NESC safety factors have already been applied.
