Advanced Rigging – Transmission & Distribution
The Advanced Rigging course is designed to familiarize participants with the various types of weights and tensions associated with rigging in line work. The procedures and concepts presented assume a familiarity with basic electrical theory and transmission and distribution systems. Participants without this prior training may require additional explanation or instruction. At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to explain the difference between static force loads and dynamic force loads, and how to determine the weight of each type of load. Participants should also be able to explain line tension, bisect tension, and guy tension, and they should be able to determine each type of tension for a given job. In addition, participants should be able to define the term ‘safety factor’ in terms of rigging, and they should be able to use a safety factor to plan safe rigging.
