Hoisting the Main Feeders of the Iron Tower
Caution:
During the hoisting, rough operations are not allowed, lest the sheath of the main
feeder be damaged or scratched. The partial damage of a single main feeder will cause
the whole cable be rejected as useless.
Take precautions for personal safety when hoisting the feeders.
If the main feeder is to be installed on the tower, pulley blocks should be used to hoist
the main feeder, as shown in Fig. 10.4-12. Take the following steps to install the main
feeder:
1. Check again that the main feeder labels attached 0.3m away from both ends of
the main feeder are correct;
2. Wrap the main feeder connector made under the tower with flax (or antistatic
packing bag together with foam) and strap it tightly.
3. Knot and fix the hoisting rope 0.4m and 3.4m away from the feeder connector to
help the staff both on and under the tower pull up the feeder and to prevent the
feeder and its connector from damage caused by their bumping into the tower
during the hoisting process.
4. After the feeder is hoisted to the tower platform, fix the upper end of the cable to
a proper place at several points, lest the cable fall down from the tower.
