LT Line Spacers and Guard Wires
Guard Wires
Guard wires are to be used at all points whereas a line crosses a street, other power lines, rivers, road or railway line, canals, telecommunication lines, along the road and public places. As per IE Rule 88, guard wires of galvanized steel of minimum 4 mm dia having breaking strength not less than 635 kg should be used.
LT Line Spacers
Very frequent clashing of LT conductors within the mid span takes place because of sag, wind and longer spans. This results in faults and interruptions. Spacers are given to overcome this problem.
