CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR POLES AND CROSSARMS

In distributing the poles, large, choice, dense poles shall be used at transformer, deadend, angle, and corner locations.

Poles shall be set so that alternate crossarm gains face in opposite directions, except at terminal and deadends where the gains of the last two (2) poles shall be on the side facing the terminal or deadend. On unusually long spans, the poles shall be set so that the crossarm is located on the side of the pole away from the long span. On lines that curve, crossarms shall be installed on the side of the pole which faces the midpoint of the curve. On sloping terrain, crossarms shall be installed on the uphill side of the pole. Where pole top insulator brackets or pole top pins are used, they shall be located on the opposite side of the pole from the gain.

Poles shall be set in an alignment and plumb, except at corners, terminal, angles, junctions, or other points of strain, where they shall be set and raked against the strain so that the conductors are in line.

Poles shall be raked against the conductor strain not less than 1 inch for each 10 feet of pole length nor more than 2 inches for each 10 feet of pole length after the conductors are installed at the required tension.

Pole backfill shall be thoroughly tamped in full depth. Excess dirt shall be banked around the pole.

November 2009 2 of 228 SEC SPEC

TABLE W

Pole Setting Depths

The minimum depth for setting poles must be as follows:

Length of Pole (Feet)

Setting in Soil (Feet)

Setting in All Solid Rock (Feet)

20 4.0 3.0 25 5.0 3.5 30 5.5 3.5 35 6.0 4.0 40 6.0 4.0 45 6.5 4.5 50 7.0 4.5 55 7.5 5.0 60 8.0 5.0

“Setting in Soil” depths must apply:

A. Where poles are to be set in soil;

B. Where there is a layer of soil or more than two (2) feet in depth over solid rock;

C. Where the hole in solid rock is not substantially vertical or the diameter of the hole at the surface of the rock exceeds approximately twice the diameter of the pole at the same level.

“Setting in All Solid Rock” depths must apply where poles are to be set in solid rock and where the hole is substantially vertical, approximately uniform in diameter and large enough to permit the use of tamping bars the full depth of the hole.

Where there is a layer of soil two (2) feet or less in depth over solid rock, the depth of the hole must be the depth of the soil in addition to the depth specified under “Setting in All Solid Rock” provided, however, that such depth must not exceed the depth specified under “Setting in Soil.”

On sloping ground, the depth of the hole must be measured from the low side of the hole.

Section 2 - Conductor Assembly Units A conductor assembly unit consists of 1 foot of conductor or cable for primaries, secondaries or services, and includes tie wires, sleeves for splicing, connectors, and armor rods with clips and armor wire when necessary. Tree trimming necessary for installing the services and secondaries on poles not carrying primary line is included with the conductor assembly unit and shall be performed in accordance with the directions of the Engineer. The service shall be connected to the secondary or transformer and 2 feet of conductor or cable shall be left for connecting the consumer's service entrance.

November 2009 5 of 228 SEC SPEC

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 the conductor manufacturer'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 the 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;

November 2009 6 of 228 SEC SPEC

• 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;

• 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 type 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).

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 the 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 bracket, respectively, and the top groove must be in line with the conductor after tying.

Factory-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 angle” 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.

November 2009 19 of 228 SEC SPEC

Section E - Guying Assembly Units

Unit Number

November 2009 87 of 228 SEC SPEC

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR GUYS

Guys shall be placed before the conductors are strung and shall be attached to the pole as shown in the construction drawings.

The grade of construction of the guys shall be the same as the structure or the highest grade required for any other conductors supported by the pole or structure.

Deadend structure guys shall be installed in line with the pull of conductors as nearly as practical. Bisector guys at an angle structure shall be installed as nearly as practical to the true bisector of the line angle.

A 1:1 slope for guy leads is recommended, especially on deadend structures. Minimum guy leads are not recommended.

The applicable NESC safety factors have not been but must be applied to determine the “allowable guy wire tension” as denoted in the design parameters of the guying assembly units.

Unit Number Description

An anchor assembly unit consists of the installation of an anchor with rod complete, and ready for attaching the guy wire.

Section F - Anchor Assembly Units

November 2009 97 of 228 SEC SPEC

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR ANCHORING

All anchors and rods shall be in line with the strain and shall be installed so that approximately 6 inches of the rod remains out of the ground. In cultivated fields or other locations, as deemed necessary, the projection of the anchor rod above earth may be increased to a maximum of 12 inches to prevent burial of the rod eye. The backfill of all anchor holes must be thoroughly tamped the full depth.

After a cone anchor has been set in place, the hole shall be backfilled with coarse crushed rock for 2 feet above the anchor and tamped during the filling. The remainder of the hole shall be backfilled and tamped with dirt.

The maximum load with overload factors transferred to the anchor should not exceed the designated maximum holding power given in the design parameters on the anchor assembly drawing. The rating is coordinated with the maximum holding power of average, class 5, soil conditions.

When the anchor is used in poorer soils, the holding power of the anchor should be derated. A suggested guide is to derate by 25 percent in class 6 soil and by 50 percent in class 7 soil. For class 8 soil it is usually necessary to use swamp anchors or power driven screw anchors which can penetrate the poor soil into firmer soil.

A transformer assembly unit consists of the installation of the transformer, its protective equipment and its hardware and leads with their connectors and supporting insulators and pins. This does not include the installation of the pole top, secondary, service, or grounding assemblies. A transformer assembly shall include “its protective equipment” as identified. Such protective equipment will include a flipper-fuse kit or cutout, and lightning arrestor.

Section G - Transformer Assembly Units

November 2009 104 of 228 SEC SPEC

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR TAPS, JUMPERS, AND ARRESTERS

Jumpers and other leads connected to line conductors shall have sufficient slack to allow free movement of the conductors. Where slack is not shown on the construction drawings, it will be provided by at least two (2) bends in a vertical plane, or one

(1) in a horizontal plane, or the equivalent. In areas where aeolian vibration occurs, special measures to minimize the effects of jumper breaks shall be used as may be specified.

All leads on equipment, such as transformers, reclosers, etc., shall be a minimum of #6 copper conductivity. Where aluminum jumpers are used, a connection to an unplated bronze terminal shall be made by splicing a short stub of copper to the aluminum jumpers using a compression connector suitable for the bimetallic connection.

Where applicable, the external gap electrodes of surge arresters, combination arrester cutout units, and transformers mounted arresters shall be adjusted to the manufacturer’s recommended spacing. Care shall be taken so that the adjusted gap is not disturbed when the equipment is installed.

It may be necessary, and is permissible, to lower the neutral attachment on standard construction pole top assemblies an additional distance not exceeding 2 feet to provide adequate clearance between cutout and single-phase, conventional distribution transformers.
