    Covered conductor manufacturers

    Tree wire is similar to spacer cable but is not designed to be installed with the spacers.

    RUS Distribution Standards

    Can someone tell me which RUS standard would be more appropriate for a 13.8kV (line to line) system, 1728F-803 "Specifications and Drawings for 24.9/14.4 kV Line Construction" or 1728F-804 "Specifications and Drawings for 12.5/7.2 kV Line Construction"? Are these the only two standard...

    Double circuit distribution neutral

    Thanks for the information. I didn't think that the current would be an issue but wasn't sure about relaying.

    Double circuit distribution neutral

    Looking at the RUS distribution standards for double circuits (For example VD1.81) it appears to show a single neutral. Am I reading this correctly?

    High voltage equipment terminal temperature rating

    I don't have access to that standard. Any chance you could give me a little more detail before I spend $400 to get a copy?

    High voltage equipment terminal temperature rating

    Does anyone know if there is a standard terminal temperature rating for high voltage equipment? I was thinking that it was 90°C but am not sure. I've tried looking at some IEEE standards but haven't found anything yet.

    Left turn signal

    I'm sure its not a dual color arrow. The signal is very old. I think it would be best to replace with the 5 section.

    Left turn signal

    I'm trying to find out the requirement for a left turn lane signal. We presently have two types. Both are shared between the left turn lane and the adjacent through lane. One is a 5 head signal and the other is a 4 head. R R <Y Y Y <G G G <G Is the signal without...

    Pedestrian pushbutton lamp

    We have pedestrian pushbuttons with indicator lamps which are wired in parallel with the don't walk signal light. Is this standard? I would think that the lamp would be operated from the phase check signal so that it would indicate that the button push had been received.

    Placing intersection on flash

    We have some intersections that have been placed on flash with the &quot;flash&quot; switch located inside the cabinet. This apparently de-energizizes the controller so it cannot be communicated with. I was wondering if this can be done through the controller programming instead? We have the...

    Conflict monitor testing

    I was wondering what others were doing with regard to conflict monitor testing. Is this normally done on the bench with a special test instrument or is it acceptable to test in the field by jumpering conflicting greens together? What is the normal test frequency?
