Scope:

This document, which is a Technical Report, provides recommendations for the selection and testing where necessary of conductor stringing equipment and accessory items used for the installation of bare and insulated overhead distribution conductors, bare overhead transmission conductors and overhead earth wires.

Procedures are recommended for proper earthing in order to protect equipment, components and personnel from currents which can result from accidental contact with nearby energized conductors or from the induced or fault currents which can result in some circumstances.

The items of equipment under consideration in this document are used for transmission and distribution systems.

Project need:

Adoption of this new edition Technical Report will ensure technical requirements in Canada are consistent with the latest requirements developed by IEC.

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.
