12F409 - 336.4 AAC 3-over-3 Double Circuit Deadend w/ Buck Underbuild (Obsolete - See 12F404)

Revision 2
Aug 12, 2022

Notes:

  1. 55’ minimum pole height without communication attachments. 65’ minimum pole height with communication attachments.
  2. Engineer must specify the size & number of down guys and anchors depending on conductor design tension, line angle, available down guy lead and span length. Refer to T&D Guideline 4-6 and Compatible Unit Sections A and G.
  3. To avoid accidental contact with jumpers, primary down guys must be equipped with 144" fiberglass guy strain insulators (MID 939267). Refer to T&D Guideline 4-6-1.5 for more information on use and placement of guy strain insulators.
  4. The upper circuit on 3-over-3 double circuit structures is an express feeder. Connect all transformers, risers and 1Ø and 2Ø taps to the lower circuit
  5. This assembly is intended for primary conductors with a maximum working tension of 2,500 lb/Ø or less. For deadending conductors with a maximum working tension between 2,500 lb/Ø and 4,000 lb/Ø refer to Assembly Unit 12F419.
  6. New overhead double circuit construction is allowed in rural areas only. Refer to T&D Guideline 4-23-7.0 — Design Practices for Constructing Double Circuit Lines.
