from earlier design used in pilot project) in overhead for

cable re-enforcement of pole from top to bottom is to
be done. To carry the co-axial cable, Racoon conductor Figure 8: SS Band and buckle arrangement and
(6 / 1 / 4.09 mm vide IS-398 part-2) is first drawn. Ring Universal I-hook
arrangement is made with Ferret conductor (6 / 1 / 3.00
mm vide IS-398 part-2) at a separation of 1 meter gap
over the Racoon conductor such that co-axial cable can
be drawn through the rings and the weight of the co-axial
cable is distributed over the carrier. PVC pipe is used
to cover the ring. Universal I-hook arrangement along
with insulated cable holding clamp is used at pole end.
Universal I-hook is attached to pole with the help of SS
band and buckle arrangement. The Racoon conductor
which is used as carrier wire, is also used as continuous
earth wire.

For UG distribution, we have developed mini Pilar Box
which plays the same function of junction box in UG
mode. The POC of UG project is in progress.

IMPLEMENTATION OF VARIOUS
PROJECTS

On successful proof of concept, we had implemented
co-axial cable in different theft prone area where the
theft from overhead main line was primary concern
of loss.
