IEEE 524a-1993

This guide provides recommendations for the selection of methods and equipment that have been found effective and practical for grounding during the installation of overhead transmission line conductors and overhead ground wires. This guide is directed at transmission voltages only. Installation of overhead conductors for distribution circuits generally involves similar conditions; however, the specific recommendations of this guide have not been developed to include all situations encountered at distribution voltages. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of definitions for equipment and tools used in effective grounding during the stringing operation.
