IEC TR 61328 ED4

Live working - Guidelines for the installation of transmission and distribution line conductors and earth wires - Stringing equipment and accessory items IEC TR 61328 ED4

Scope

IEC TR 61328:2024 , which is a Technical Report, provides information on general tensions, stringing methods of transmission and distribution line conductors. Special attention is given to the equipment involved, such as tensioners, pullers, grips, blocks and rollers. Due to the hazards involved in stringing near energized lines, the general concepts of electric and magnetic induction are presented along with safe application methods of earthing equipment.
Procedures are given for installation and maintenance of distribution and transmission conductors. A discussion of electric hazards is provided as well as relevant earthing and bonding techniques.
The overall intent of this document is to provide state of the art methods in an informative manner, recognizing that there are several procedural variations within the industry. There are also multiple standards and regulatory jurisdictions which prescribe methods and requirements beyond the scope of this document.
