on Dog conductor and 11 KV line on Raccoon & Dog Conductor. In case of 11 KV
line on Weasel & Rabbit Conductor MS angle of 65x65x6 mm shall be used to

6.15 While constructing the 33 & 11 kV lines on roadside having inadequate electrical
clearances between pole & buildings the feasibility of fixing projected bracket
fabricated by suitable size of M.S. Angle & Channel with its supporting bracing on the
existing poles may be explored. In case it becomes feasible, the line may be erected on
fittings & insulators to be fitted on such brackets. The cost of these brackets shall be
charged as per the prices quoted in the relevant column of price schedule.

33 KV lines:
Prescribed size of conductor shall be used to construct 3 phase 3 wire 33 kV lines. The
33 kV line shall normally be constructed on pin insulators and 11 m long Steel
Tubular Poles (410-SP-55)/ 9m. long PCC poles using ACSR Dog conductor. In some
cases it shall be constructed on suspension insulators on 13 m. long 105lbs steel rails
using ACSR Panther conductor for which cross arms of M.S. channel 125x65 mm
shall be used. However every road crossing shall essentially be done on 11 mt. long
ST poles in case the line is constructed on PCC poles.

7.2

String insulators shall be used at every section support structure.

7.3

Four numbers parallel GSS earthwires (guarding wires) of size 7/3.15 mm shall run
below the conductor and shall be supported on M.S. angle of prescribed size. Cross
lacings of 5 mm GI wire shall be provided at every 4 M. interval on normal route of
the line and at every 1 M. interval at sensitive places like road crossings. The cross
wires/ lacings shall be bent in U shape and their ends shall be clamped with the
parallel guard wires by proper binding.

7.4

The span of the line for 33 kV shall be 50 to 60 M. in congested area and up to 80

meters in open areas as agreed by the concerned CEO.

7.5

Stay of size 20x1800 mm with 7/4.0 mm stay wire shall be used in 33 KV lines
supports wherever required.

7.6

All the poles shall be earthed by electrode earthing.

8.1

11 KV lines:
Prescribed size of conductor shall be used to construct 3 phase 3 wire 11 kV lines.
The 11 kV line shall normally be constructed on pin insulators and 11 m long Steel
Tubular Poles (410-SP-55) or 9/8.5 Mtr. Long PCC Poles using ACSR Raccoon
conductor for main lines and ACSR Rabbit conductor for the tapping lines meant for
feeding the DT substations.

8.2

Disc insulators shall be used at every section support structure.

8.3

Two number parallel 5 mm GI wire shall run below the conductors as earth wire
(guarding wire) and shall be supported on M.S. angle of prescribed size. Cross lacings
of 5 mm GI wire shall be provided at every 4 M. interval on normal route of the line
and at every 1 M. interval at sensitive places like road crossings. The cross wires/
lacings shall be bent in U shape and their ends shall be clamped with the parallel
guard wires by proper binding.

8.4

The span shall range from 50 to 60 M for 11 kV lines.

8.6

Stay of size 16x1800 mm with 7/3.15 mm stay wire shall be used in 11 KV lines
supports wherever required.
All the poles shall be earthed by electrode earthing.
