scope:

This recommended practice summarizes a large collection of peer-reviewed IEEE and other industry standards and guidelines related to overhead transmission line design, testing, construction, and maintenance. This includes aspects such as structures, foundations, conductors, insulators, hardware, and electrical effects. It identifies the documents in an organized and comprehensive fashion along with explanations of the material presented within each document and when a particular document should be considered.

Purpose

This recommended practice is prepared in order to assist those designing overhead transmission lines in identifying the available resources in a single comprehensive guide and applying those documents appropriately. The document also provides a single document to cite in project specifications.
