The Guide for Electric Distribution Line Guys and Anchors was developed by the Transmission & Distribution Engineering Committee (TDEC) Distribution Committee Overhead Work Group. It is a reference guide
for engineers responsible for the design and maintenance of overhead
distribution facilities.
This Guide includes the standard RUS distribution guy and anchor assemblies and their permitted loads and holding power along with installation guidelines. It discusses the component parts of guy assemblies and their strengths, while providing engineers example problems to calculate loading moments, guy resisting forces for several guying situations, guy loads, minimum guy leads, and required pole class to support vertical loads.
The following Advisory provides a summary of the report, and the link to full Guide is also provided below:
