524-2003 IEEE GUIDE TO THE INSTALLATION OF OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINE CONDUCTORS

IEEE Std 524 of 2003 entitled IEEE Guide to the Installation of Overhead Transmission Line Conductors’ scope is focused in providing general recommendations in the selection of tools, equipments and methods that have been found to be practical for the stringing of overhead groundwires and overhead transmission line conductors. The standard also provides a comprehensive list of definitions for equipment and tools used in stringing and for stringing terms commonly employed.

The purpose of this guide is to present in one document sufficient details of present day methods, materials, and equipment to outline the basic considerations necessary for maintaining safe and adequate control of conductors during stringing operations. References are given in Clause 2 and the bibliography in Annex A for those desiring more detailed information. Because the terminology used for many hardware items and for many stringing terms varies from place to place, a list of definitions is included to provide correlation and clarification of the terms most commonly employed.

This guide is broad enough, yet specific enough, to be applicable to the stringing of conventional overhead transmission conductors and overhead groundwires (OHGW) of the following types: AAAC, AAC, AACSR, ACAR, ACSR, ACSR/TW, CU, aluminum-clad steel OHGW, and galvanized steel OHGW.1

Since stringing practices for different projects will be strongly influenced by the magnitude and nature of each project and by local circumstances, alternate methods that have been successfully employed are presented. Information contained in this guide may not be sufficient for certain special cases, such as when stringing extremely long spans, severe line angles, high tensions, or special conductors. In these cases, the manufacturer should be consulted. The practices that are described in this guide provide for continuous control of the conductor from the initial setup to the ready-for-service condition. Any legal requirements of national, state, or local regulations must, of course, be observed.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS How is electric motor frame size being specified? Motor frame dimensions have been standardized with a uniform frame size numbering system. This system was developed by NEMA and specific frame sizes have been assigned to standard motor ratings based on enclosure, horsepower and speed. The current standardized frames for integral horsepower induction motors ranges from 143T to 445T. These standards cover most motors in the range of one through two hundred horsepower. Typical example of where you can locate the frame is shown in Fig 1.2.D – Frame No. The numbers used to designate frame sizes have specific meanings based on the physical size of the motor. Some digits are related to the motor shaft height and the remaining digit or digits relate to the length of the motor. The rerate, or frame size reduction programs were brought about by advancements in motor technology relating mainly to higher temperature ratings of insulating mate...

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").
