IEEE 524:1980

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.
This guide provides general recommendations for the selection of methods, equipment and tools that have been found practical for the stringing of overhead transmission line conductors and overhead ground-wires. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of definitions for equipment and tools used in stringing and for stringing terms commonly employed. This guide is broad enough yet specific enough to be applicable to the stringing conductors of all sizes. The practices that are described provide for continuous control of the conductor from the initial setup to the ready for service condition.

This guide provides general recommendations for the selection of methods, stringing is described. equipment and tools that have been found practical for the stringing of overhead transmission line conductors and overhead ground wires. The guide also includes 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 to maintain safe and adequate control of conductors during stringing operations. References are given in Section 3 for those desiring more detailed information. Because the terminology used for many hardware items and for many stringing terms varies from place to place, the list of definitions is included to provide correlation and clarification of the terms most commonly employed.
