Overhead Conductor
Figure 3: Pulling the conductor to ground to install the traveling ground is commonly done
using a single rope. This could kink the conductor if tension was high enough. Use a 20x
diameter (51 cm) guide roller, or slacken the conductor if it needs to be lowered to install the
traveling ground. Photo courtesy of CenterPoint Energy.
Figure 4: It is OK to drape slack conductor across a small roller. This would not be acceptable if
the conductor was under tension or if the crew was pulling the tail to install a fitting.
