PROJECT APPLICATION
New Overhead Distribution Line Equipment Package
A complete procurement structure for new 11kV to 36kV overhead distribution lines from pole schedule and conductor system to protection and delivery.
How should a new overhead distribution line equipment package be organized?
Organize the package by structure type and voltage system: poles and crossarms, conductors, insulation, suspension and dead-end hardware, guying and grounding, protection and switching, transformer or cable interfaces, communication and packing. Final kits must follow the approved pole schedule and conductor data.
TYPICAL SUPPLY SCOPE
Systems normally coordinated together.
- 01Poles, crossarms, brackets and fasteners
- 02Phase conductors, earth wire or ABC
- 03Pin, post, suspension and strain insulators
- 04Suspension, tension, connection and protection fittings
- 05Guys, anchors and grounding materials
- 06Protection, switching and transformer interfaces
- 07Project documentation, packing and shipment
PROCUREMENT RISKS
Questions to close before ordering.
- 01No highest equipment voltage stated
- 02Conductor and clamp sizes not matched
- 03Structure schedule quantities omitted
- 04Tangent and dead-end kits combined
- 05Cable transition or substation boundary unclear
BUYER INPUTS
Project data needed for matching.
- 01Nominal and highest equipment voltage
- 02Route and pole schedule
- 03Conductor type, size and span data
- 04Insulator type and creepage requirement
- 05Structure drawings
- 06Equipment interface ratings
- 07BOQ, standards and delivery schedule

BUYER QUESTIONS
Direct answers for this project type.
Can an incomplete pole schedule be reviewed?
Yes for a preliminary clarification, but final kit quantities need approved structure types and route quantities.
Can cable transitions be included?
Yes when cable size, insulation, termination, support and earthing details are provided.
