Scope:

1.1

This Standard sets out the requirements for fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) crossarms for use on overhead electrical systems.

1.2

FRP crossarms are used with connecting hardware and are part of a structure supporting overhead conductors and insulators that includes poles, guys, and anchors. This Standard specifies requirements for the FRP crossarm and does not address the overall structure as a system.

Note: An optional classification system is described in Table A.1 and is provided as an informative reference for users of the Standard.

1.3

The values given in SI units are units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.

Note: In the utilities industry, both metric and imperial units are found in common practice and so are both used in this Standard.

Project need:

Development of a standard on synthetic crossarms requested by the Centre for Energy Advancement through Technological Innovation (CEATI).

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
