BARE CONDUCTOR INSTALLATION
The weights should be located as near to the point of suspension as conditions permit. This will generally be in the range of from 2 to 6 inches from the end of the suspension clamp, and will prevent the weight from contacting other line hardware.
INSTALLATION OVER CONDUCTOR PROTECTION DEVICES
When installation is to be done over such devices as armor grip suspension or armor rods, the weights should be located out from the point of suspension a sufficient distance to avoid clamping the weight on an expanded or basket-like section.
SERIAL INSTALLATION
When two or more weights are required on a conductor on the same side of the sus-pension clamp, space the weights approximately 5/8” to 1” apart to avoid any possibility of contact between them. Installed weight contact might cause sharp protrusions with resulting corona emissions.
