ground wire is not damaged due to wind, vibration, vehicles or other causes. Scaffolding should be

used to cross the important roads and Railway Crossing for minimum interruption to traffic.

5.5 The conductor shall be pulled up to desired sag and left in serial stringing sheaves for at least one

hour after which the sag shall be rechecked and adjusted, if necessary, before clipping in and

transferring the conductors from the serial stringing sheaves to the suspension clamps.

5.6 Conductor shall be clamped within 24 hours of sagging. The sag will be checked in the larger spans

of the section in case of sections up to eight spans and in one intermediate larger span also for

section with more than eight spans.

5.7 The stringing sheaves, when suspended on the transmission structure for sagging, shall be so

adjusted that the conductor will be on the sheaves at the same height as the suspension clamp to

which it is to be secured.

5.8 The stringing of the ground wire shall be done in accordance with the stringing charts approved

by the GETCO. The ground wire shall be strung to run continuously over the conductors. The

ground wire shall be pulled, sagged and clamped-in from tension tower to tension tower before

the phase conductors are pulled in that section. In case of double circuit line, stringing of ground

wire shall be done in hot line condition i.e. one circuit on double circuit tower in live condition. For
