Question

(id:99995)
in vertical installation of conductors, why are conductors typically placed at the top of the installation?

a. so they can be pulled from the bottom up, greatly reducing or eliminating pulling tension on the conductors.

b. so they can be pulled from the top down, greatly increasing the tension on the wire pulling equipment so the workers can take more breaks.

c. so they can be pulled from the top down, greatly reducing or eliminating pulling tension on the conductors.
clear my choice

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Pulling from bottom up when conductors are at the top is illogical.
• Option b: Increasing tension on equipment and taking more breaks is not a valid engineering reason.
• Option c: Placing conductors at the top and pulling from top down reduces tension on conductors, which is a sound engineering practice for vertical conductor installation.

Answer:

c. So they can be pulled from the top down, greatly reducing or eliminating pulling tension on the conductors.
