Compatible Unit Coding for “G” and “A” Section

Guys
Guys have been coded according to size and type using a “G” prefix. Special purpose guys and attachments have
also been appropriately coded. Single, double, overhead and sidewalk guys are available with individual
Compatible Unit code numbers. Primary, secondary and pedestrian guy guards are also available.
Anchors
Standard anchors and anchor/rod combinations are coded with an “A” prefix. The numbers and letters in the code
designate the sizes and descriptions of the anchoring devices.
Guy/Anchor Combinations
Guy and anchor combinations are available by combining the individual numbers to form one Compatible Unit
number. This applies to all the recommended single and double down guy combinations with the various types of
anchors.
Example:
G5 A108 (Compatible Unit no.)
One 5/16” down guy with guy guard

One 10” anchor with 8 ft. rod
Bottom guy
Top guy with guy guard
G3 5 A108 (Compatible Unit no.)
One 3/8” and one 5/16” down guy with guy guard
One 10” anchor with 8 ft. rod

foundations, butt plate bracing, pole key bracing, push pole bracing, temporary pole bracing
and stub pole bracing have been assigned Compatible Unit numbers to allow a variety of pole
bracing applications. The numbers are explained in detail on the standard drawings.
Grid Sketch Application

Guy, anchor and pole bracing codes are to be entered in the Miscellaneous section of the grid
sketch (lines 13 thru 18) under the point number which represents the pole they are to be
installed on.

Ungrounded (Insulated) Guys
1). Objectives
This procedure and examples on the following pages will:
Define guying
Provide guidelines for the installation of ungrounded (insulated) guys
2). Reponsibilities
ESE will maintain program procedures (review NESC for changes), advise and train personnel who
design and build facilites with guys and provide inspection services if requested by responsible
divisions. The Responsible Divisions will assure that designs properly show how guys and guy
insulators are used and where to install them. The line crews that construct the guying must be sure
that the guys are properly grounded or if ungrounded the insulated sections are properly installed.
3). Definitions:
a) Guy - a supporting member fastened between a fixed support and a pole to provide an opposing
force to balance conductor tension(s)acting on the pole.
b) Down guy - a down guy consists of a wire running from an attachment on a pole to a
rod and anchor installed in the ground.
c) Span or head guy - a span guy consists of a wire running from an attachment on a pole to an
adjacent pole opposing the strain from the line conductors. Insulated guy rod - a device
installed in a guy to maintain adequate electrical clearances, provide safe working space for linemen,
reduce nuisance linetripping from guy contacts with line conductors and protect the public against
possible exposure to an energized guy.
4). Grounding Guy Requirements
All guys shall be effectively grounded unless insulated per item No. 5.
To be effectively grounded, guys shall be electrically connected to one or more of the following:
a) Grounded metallic supporting structure (grounded steel pole)
b) An effective ground on a nonmetallic supporting structure (pole ground)
c) A line conductor that has at least four (4) grounds in each mile of line (system neutral)

UNGROUNDED INSULATED GUYS APPROVAL: WEL

5). Insulated Guy Rods
All efforts to ground the guy wire must be exhausted prior to installation of the insulated guy section. When
the guy to energized part clearance cannot be obtained, the insulated guy must comply with the following:
a). Insulators shall be so placed that if the guy is broken below the insulator or any guy is contacted by an
energized conductor or part, the voltage will not be transferred to other facilities on the structure(s) or below
8’ above ground.
b). Insulators shall be so placed that in case any guy sags down upon another, the insulators will not
become ineffective.
The placement of insulator(s) in an ungrounded guy is intended to protect the public against a possible
exposure to an energized guy. The proper location of an insulator in an ungrounded guy may be
determined as follows:
Down guy -The horizontal plane defined by the lowest energized facility shall pass through the center
or upper half of the lowest guy insulator.A facility is considered energized if it is at a service voltage
(120 volts) or higher. A check shall be made to determine, under a broken guy condition (at anchor eye),
guy hanging vertically, that requirements 5a and 5b are met.
Head guy - Terminated to stub pole, no other electrical facilities adjacent/on the stub pole or between
the guyed and stub pole: The horizontal plane defined by the lowest energized facility shall pass through
the center or upper half of the lowest guy insulator.A check shall be made to determine, under a broken
guy condition (at stub pole), guy hanging vertically, that requirements 5a and 5b are met.
Head guy - Terminated to stub pole, with other electrical facilities adjacent/on the stub pole or between the
guyed and stub pole: In addition to the above check, a check shall be made, under a broken guy condition
(at the guyed pole), guy hanging vertically, that requirements 5a and 5b are met.
