Summary

Given that many problems experienced with fittings in the field of overhead transmission and distribution lines are due to poor handling and installation practices, guidelines have been produced with the aim of promoting good practice to minimise handling and installation problems with fittings and conductors through a questionnaire and experience of the members. The Technical Brochure also includes a comprehensive glossary to identify the various fittings.
