ERECTION OF SUPPORTS After the excavation of pits is completed the supports to be erected may be brought to the pits location. Then the pole may be erected inside the pit. Wooden support may be utilized to facilitate lifting of the pole at the pit locations. Before the pole is put into pit, RCC padding may be laid below the pole to increase the surface contact between the pole and the soil. The padding will distribute the weight of the pole uniformly on the soil.

141

Having lifted the pole, the same should be kept in a vertical position with the help of manila rope of 25 mm dia using the rope as a temporary anchor. As the poles are being erected say from the pole already erected to the next location where the pole is being erected, the alignment of the poles are to be checked and set right by visual check. The verticalitys of the poles are to be checked with a spirit level on both transverse and longitudinal directions. Having satisfied that the verticality and alignment are all right, earth filling or concreting is to be done. In swampy and special locations, however, before earth filing, the poles are to be concreted up to ground level of the pit. After the poles have been set the temporary anchors are to be removed. The supports shall be buried to a depth as per REC construction standard.

1.8

ERECTION OF D.P. STRUCTURES FOR ANGLE LOCATIONS (FOR 33 LINES): Generally, for angles of deviation more than 20 double pole structures of spacing 1.2 mts (4.0 ft) may be erected. The pits are to be excavated as per bisection of the angle of deviation. After the poles are erected, the horizontal / cross bracing should be fitted and the supports held in a vertical position with the help of temporary guys of manila rope of at least 25 mm dia. Ensuring that the poles are held in a vertical position (this can be checked with a spirit level) the concreting of the poles with cement, granite chips of size 20/30 mm mesh and sand in the ratio M400 conforming to ISS is to be done from the bottom of the support to the ground level. Before lifting the pole in the pit, concrete padding of not less than 75 mm thickness may be put for the distribution of the load of the support on the soil. After the concreting is done, the pit may be filled with earth after curing of the concrete is completed. Four stays along the line, two in each direction and two stays along the bisection of angle of deviation are to be provided. Stay concreting may be done with M 400 concrete mixture The D.P. shall be erected as per the approved drawing.

1.9

ANCHORING AND PROVIDING GUYS FOR SUPPORTS Fitting of stay set on overhead line including digging of earth pit of area 90cm x 60 cm and depth of 1.4 m placing the stay rod with G.I stay wire Guy insulator on pole clamp , fixing of thimble bow etc with hard soil packing and ramming to fill up pit to ground level. Guys are to be provided to the supports at the following places (i) Angle locations, (ii) Dead end locations, (iii) Tee-off points, (iv) Steep gradient locations to avoid uplifted on the poles. The installation of guy will involve the following works: i) Excavation of pit and fixing of stay rod. ii) Fastening guy wire to the support. iii) Tightening guy wire and fastening to the anchor The marking of the guy pit for excavation, the excavation of pits and setting of the anchor rod must be carefully carried out. The stay rod should be placed in the position such that the angle of inclination of the rod with the vertical face of the point is 30/45 as the case may be. The concreting of the stay at the bottom should then be carried out. The back filling and ramming must be well done thereafter, and allowed to set for at least 7 days. The free end of the guy wire is passed through the eye of the anchor rod, bent back parallel to the main portion of the guy and bound after inserting the G.I. Thimble. The loop is protected by the G.I. Thimble, where it bears on the anchor rod. Where the existence of guy wire proves hazardous, it should be protected with suitable asbestos pipe, filled with concrete of about 2 mts length above the ground level, duly painted with white and black stripe so that it may be visible at night. The turn buckle shall be mounted at the pole end of the stay and guy wire so fixed that the eye bolt turn buckle is half way in the working position, thus giving the maximum movement for tightening or loosening. Guy insulators are placed to prevent the lower part of the guy from becoming electrically energized by a contact of the guy when the conductors snap and fall on them of due leakage. No guy insulator shall be located less than 2.6 mts. from the ground. The anchoring and providing guys for supports (Single guy Bow guy fly guy) shall be done as per sketch enclosed.

STRINGING OF THE LINE CONDUCTORS For the guidance of the contractor certain dos and donts are given below before the workmen actually commence the stringing work.

1.14.1

Dos and Donts DOs ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. Use proper equipment for handling aluminum conductors at all times. Use skids, or similar method for lowering reels or coils from transport or ground. Examine reel before unreeling for presence of nails or any other object, which might damage the conductor. Rotate the reel or coil while unwinding conductor. Grip all strands while pulling out the conductor. Control the unreeling speed with suitable braking arrangement. 143

viii. ix. x. xi. xii. xiii. xiv. xv. DONTs i. ii. iii. iv. v. 1.14.2

Use wooden guards of suitable braking arrangement. Use long straight, parallel jaw grip with suitable liners when pulling conductor thus avoiding nicking or kinking of the conductor. Use free running sleeves or blocks with adequate grooves for drawing/paving conductors. Use proper sag charts. Mark conductors with crayons or adhesive tape of such (other) material, which will not damage the strand. Make all splicing with the proper tools. Use a twisting wrench for twisting the joints. Chromite or graphite conducting oxide-inhibiting grease should be used before cleaning with wire brush. Do not handle conductors without proper tools at any stage. Do not pull conductors without ensuring that there are no obstructions on the ground. Do not pull out excess quantity of conductor than is required. Do not make jumper connections on dirty or weathered conductor. Do not handle aluminum conductors in a rough fashion but handle it with care it deserves.

CONDUCTOR ERECTIONS The erection of overhead line conductor is a very important phase in construction. The erection of conductors can be sub-divided into 4 separate parts as follows: i. Transport of conductors to work site. ii. Paving and stringing of conductors. iii. Tensioning and sagging of conductors. iv. Joining of conductors. At the important crossing of roads, canals, navigable rivers, railways etc., flagmen should be in attendance to ensure that normal services are not unduly interrupted. These crossing should only be carried out in conjunction with and with the approval of the proper authorities concerned. The conductor drums shall be transported to the tension point without injuring the conductor, if, it is necessary to roll the drum on the ground for a small distance, it should be slowly rolled in the direction of the marked on the drum. The drum should be so supported that it can be rotated freely. For this purpose the drum should either be mounted on the cable drum supports of jacks or hung by means of chain pulley of suitable capacity, suspended from a tripod. In case if it is not possible to raise the conductor drum by any of the above method, a trench of suitable depth slightly bigger than the conductor drum may be dug, so as to facilitate free rotation of the cable drum when it is suspended in the trench by means of M.S. Shaft. While paving, care should be taken to see that conductor does not rub against any metallic fitting of the pole or on the bad/rocky ground. Wooden trusses should be used for this purpose to support the conductor. The conductor should be passed over the poles on wooden or aluminum snatch pulley blocks provided with low friction bearings. While conductor is being paved out slowly, some braking arrangement should be made so that the rotation of the drum may be stopped in emergency. In case the length of one piece of the conductor is less than the length of the section in which conductor paving is being done, it is easy to stretch one length of all phases from one end the remaining length from another end of the section any part of the conductor shall be left at a height of less than that of 5 meters, above the ground by rough sagging. Mid Span Jointing of Conductors The mid span jointing of conductors can be carried by twisting the joint at the ends and the wire should project a few centimeter, beyond the end of the sleeves. The projected wires are given a sharp bend to keep them from slipping out of the sleeve. The end of the sleeves are then held tightly by twisting wrenches and then 4 to 5 turns in one direction generally anti-clock wise direction. Crimping Tools are preferably to be used for joints and jumpers.

1.14.3

1.14.4

SAGGING AND TENSIONING On the completion of the paving of the conductors and making mid span joints if any, tensioning operations will commence. Temporary guys will have to be provided for both the anchoring supports in the section where the stringing has to be done. At the tensioning end, one of the conductors is pulled manually up to a certain point and then come along clamp is fixed to the conductor to be tensioned. The grip to the come along clamp is attached to double sleeve pulley block or the pulley lift machine and gradually tensioned.

144

The conductor should then be sagged in accordance with the sag temperature chart for the particular conductor and span. The sag should then be adjusted in the middle span of the section. The sag chart is to be provided. The stretch of the conductor has to be taken out before stringing in order to avoid the gradual increase in sag due to the setting down of the individual wires. There are ways of accomplishing this: a) Pre-stressing In this method the conductor is pulled up to tension considerably above the correct figures, but never exceeding 50% of breaking load for a short period of say twenty minutes. As this method requires more time and involves the use of stronger tackle to secure the higher tension the other method of over tensioning is commonly adopted. b) Over-tensioning This method consists of pulling up the conductor to a tension a little above the theoretical tension for prevailing temperature and fixed it up at that tension with correspondingly reduced sag. After a certain time the conductor will settle down to the correct sag and tension. A tension of five to eight percent more than the theoretical value has been found to be suitable for the sizes of ACSR and AAAC conductors standardized by REC. The ambient temperature during sagging may be recorded correctly. Conductors can be sagged correctly only when the tension is the same in each span throughout the entire length of section. Use of snatch blocks reduces the friction and chances of inequality of tension in various spans. Sagging can be accomplished by several different methods but most commonly used method is Slighting. The slighting sag method of measuring sag is by the use of targets placed on the supports below the cross arms. The targets may be light strip of wood clamped to the pole at a distance equal to the sag below the conductor when the conductor is placed in snatch block. The lineman sees the sag from the next pole. The tension of the conductor is then reduced or increased, until the lowest part of the conductor in the span coincides with the linemans line of sight. When sagging is completed, the tension clamps shall be fixed. The clamp can be fitted on the conductor without releasing the tension. A mark is made on the conductor at a distance from the cross-arm equal to the length of complete strain insulator. Before the insulator set is raised to position, all nuts should be free. Come along clamp is placed on the conductor beyond the conductor clamp and attached to the pulling unit. The conductor is pulled in sufficiently to allow the insulator assembly to be fitted to the clamp. After the conductor is clamped to insulator, assembly unit may be released gradually. If the tension is released with a jerk, an abnormal stress may be transferred to conductor and support, which may result in the failure of the cross arm, stay or pole in some cases. After the stringing is completed, all poles, cross arms, insulators, fittings etc. are checked upto ensure that there have been no deformities etc. The next step is to place the conductor on the top of the pin insulator from the snatch block and removing snatch blocks. Conductors are then fastened to insulator by the use of aluminum wires. The following points should be observed: i) Proper size of the tie binding wire which can be readily handled and with adequate strength is to be used. ii) The length of tie wire should be sufficiently long for making complete tie including the end allowances for gripping with ends. iii) A good tie should provide a secure binding between the line conductor and insulator and should reinforce the conductor on either side of the insulator. iv) The use of cutting pliers for binding the tie wire should be avoided. v) The tie wire which has been used previously should be reused Before tying the conductor to the insulator two layers of Aluminum tapes should be wrapped over the conductor in the portion where it touches the insulator. The width and thickness of aluminum tape to be used for a specific size of conductors has been specified in hand books of aluminum conductor manufacturers and the same be referred to. The Aluminum tapes should also be used at the tension clamp and for proper grip. Normally in straight runs of line, the conductors are run on the top of insulators. When there is small of deviation the conductor is placed inside groove and bound. Accordingly, there are two methods of tying the conductors to insulators. The binding wire/tie wire has to be procured by the contractor and the bid price shall include the cost of this.

145

The contractor shall be entirely responsible for any damage to the supports, other accessories and conductor.

Thereafter, the pole may be removed from the mould and watered at intervals to prevent surface cracking of the unit, the interval should depend on the atmospheric humidity and temperature. The pre-stressing wires shall be detensioned only after the concrete has attained the specified strength at 2 transfer (i.e., 200 or 210 kg/cm as applicable). The cubes cast for the purpose of determining the strength at transfer should be cured, as far as possible, under conditions similar to those under which the poles are cured. The transfer stage shall be determined based on the daily tests carried out on concrete cubes till the specified strength indicated above is reached. Thereafter the test on concrete shall be carried out as r detailed in IS: 1343 (Code of p 3ctice for pre-stressed concrete). The manufacturer shall supply, when required by the owner or his representative, result of compressive test conducted in accordance with IS: 456 (Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete) on concrete cubes made from the concrete used for the poles. If the owner so desired, the manufacturer shall supply cubes for test purposes and such cubes shall be tested in accordance with IS: 456 (Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete). The detensioning shall be done by slowly releasing the wires, without imparting shock or sudden load to the poles. The rate of detensioning may be controlled by any suitable means either mechanical (screw type) or hydraulic. The poles shall not be detensioned or released by cutting the pre-stressing wires using flames or bar croppers while the wires are still under tension. Separate eye-hooks or holes shall be provided for handling the transport, one each at a distance of 0.15 times the overall length, from either end of the pole. Eye-hooks, if provided, should be properly anchored and should be on the face that has the shorter dimension of the cross-section.

The poles may be tested in either horizontal or vertical position. If tested in horizontal position, provisions shall be made to compensate for the overhanging weight of the pole, for this purposed, the overhanging portion of the pole may be supported on a movable trolley or similar device.

152

The pole shall be rigidly supported at the butt end for a distance equal to the agreed depth of planting. Load shall be applied at a point 600 mm from the top of the pole and shall be steadily and gradually increased to the design value of the transverse load at first crack. The deflection at this load shall be measured. A pre-stressed concrete pole shall be deemed not to have passed the test if visible cracks appear at a stage prior to the application of the design transverse load for the first crack. The load then be reduced to zero and increased gradually to a load equal to the first crack load plus 10% of the minimum ultimate transverse load, and held up for 2 minutes. This procedure shall be repeated until the load reaches the value of 80 per cent of the minimum ultimate transverse load and thereafter increased by 5 per cent of the minimum ultimate transverse load until failure occurs. Each time the load is applied, it shall be held for 2 minutes. The load applied to pre-stressed concrete pole at the point of failure shall be measured to the nearest five Kilograms. The pole shall be deemed not to have passed the test if the observed ultimate transverse load is less than the design ultimate transverse load. 19.0 Measurement of Cover After completion of the transverse strength test, the sample pole shall be taken and checked for cover. The cover of the pole shall be measured at 3 points, one within 1.8 meter from the butt end of the pole. the second within 0.6 meters from the top and the third at an intermediate point and the mean value compared with the specified value. The mean value of the measured cover should not differ by more than () 1 mrn from the specified cover. The individual values should not differ by more than () 3 mm from the specified value. If these requirements are not met, the workmanship with reference to aligning of the end plates and prestressing wires and assembly of moulds should be improved and inspection at pre-production stage tightened suitably. 20.0 MARKING

The pole shall be clearly and indelibly marked with the following particulars either during or after manufacture but before testing at a position so as to be easily read after erection in position. a)Month and year of manufacture b)Transverse strength of pole in Kg c)Maker's serial No and mark and Project .

21.0 INSPECTION Inspection may be carried out by the purchaser or third party nominee at any stage of manufacture. The supplier shall grant free access to the purchaser's representative or third party nominee at a reasonable time when the work is in progress. Inspection and acceptance of any equipment under this specification by the purchaser shall not relieve the supplier of his obligation of furnishing equipment in accordance with the specification and shall not prevent subsequent rejection if the equipment is found defective.

* NB the above parameters are applicable for three core and single core cable, if not otherwise specified. CABLE CONSTRUCTION: 5.3 XLPE underground cable is to be manufactured in continuous catenaries process at controlled elevated temperature and pressure in inert atmosphere with use of suitable materials for XLPE semiconducting, insulation and XLPE screen. The inner and outer semi-conducting sheaths and main polyethylene insulation between the sheaths are to be simultaneously extruded during the Triple Extrusion Process of manufacturing and main insulation of the Cable is to be extruded unified. The XLPE Cables in this specification does not have any metal sheath and the short circuit rating of the cable will depend on the conductivity and continuity of the strands of the armour wires, which shall be ensured by guarding against corrosion. 5.4 5.5 CONDUCTOR SCREENING A semi-conducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) screening shall be extruded over the conductor to act as an electrical shield which together with elimination of the so called Strand Effect prevents to a great extent air ionization on the surface of the conductor. INSULATION:

5.6

The main insulation of the Cable shall be extruded unfilled, chemically cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) inert gas cured satisfying the requirement of ISS: 7098 (Part- II) 5.7 INSULATING SCREEN:

The screen shall be made up as given in Clause 22the metal screen eliminates tangential stress electrostatic field surrounding the conductor and uniform electrical stress in the insulation. The semi conducting polyethylene (XLPE) screen shall be extruded over the main poly ethylene-insulating wall to prevent partial discharge at the surface of the insulation. The copper tape shall be wrapped over the semi conducting tape or extrusion as mentioned earlier for 3 core cables. The metal screen so formed 176

around the cores shall be in contact with one another as the cores are laid up at triangular configuration. For single core cable, Aluminium wires armoring shall constitute the metallic part of insulation screen. Conductor screening, insulation and insulation screening shall be extruded in triple extrusion processes so as to obtain continuously smooth interfaces. 5.8 The mechanical and chemical properties of the materials for semi conducting screens are much more important than their electrical properties, but for obtaining the high overall degree of electrical properties of an E.H.V. cable, the inner and outer semi conducting, sheaths and the main polyethylene insulation between the sheaths shall be simultaneously extruded during the manufacturing, process known as triple extrusion. The advantages are: i) The partial discharge level at the surface of the insulation is brought to a minimum. ii) There will be no displacement of the semi conducting screen and insulation during expansion and contraction due to load cycles and bending. iii) The semi conducting screens are easily removable during joining and termination operations. Note: Manufacturers not having triple extrusion process will be disqualified. The Tenderer shall have to produce necessary process line at the time of bidding. 5.9 LAYING UP: The phase identification of the cores shall be either by colour or numerals as per I.S.S. for 3 core cables only. Core Colour Numeral Red 1 Yellow 2 Blue 3 The screen cores shall be laid up with interstices filled with PVC fillers and taped a binder tape as to obtain a reasonably circular cable. INNER SHEATH: The cable core shall be supplied with bedding of PVC (Inner sheath) in the form of extruded PVC sheath for 33 KV cables. Wrapped PVC tapes shall be used for 11KV thickness as per clause 23 of special technical parameters and as per relevant IS. 5.11 ARMOUR: The cable shall be wire armoured /steel strip in case of 33KV and wire/strip armoured 11 KV, three core cables to insure an adequate return path for the flow of fault current and also provide suitable mechanical protection. Steel wires/aluminum wire / steel strips of required size in requisite number as per clause 24 of special technical parameters shall be laid closely in the spiral formation to protect the circumference of the cable fully and to provide adequate cores section area for flow of maximum fault current within limits of specified temperature rise and duration of fault. Direction of the lay of the armour shall be opposite to that of the cable cores in case of single core cable armour should be of non-metallic material. OUTER SHEATH: A reliable surving shall be necessary for maintaining conductivity of the armour particularly under corrosive condition in the form of jacket. Cable shall be therefore finished with extruded PVC over sheath of thickness as per clause 25 of special technical parameters. The quality of PVC over sheath (jacket) shall be ensured for service reliability against moisture intrusion and shall confirm to type ST-2 of IS : 5831. The colour of the outer sheath shall be follows: For 11 KV cable : Blue The sheaths shall be protected against white ants, vermin and termites by suitable, durable and reliable measures. The suppliers shall suggest suitable materials for use, in the event of damage to the over sheath to prevent the passage of moisture along the cable.
