Overhead conductor naming convention

Overhead conductor naming convention

RE: Overhead conductor naming convention

Compared to naming for birds?

RE: Overhead conductor naming convention

(OP)
As opposed to not naming at all or using a numbering or letter code as with any other conductors.

RE: Overhead conductor naming convention

I like it.  It's better than 12785-01, 84278-13, etc.

(OP)
I don't have any feelings about it one way or the other-it is what it is. I was just asking if anyone knew the history behind the practice.

RE: Overhead conductor naming convention

We are sensitive people who like to be in touch with our inner child.

It's a great shorthand method for identifying a very specific conductor type with one word.  And the class of conductor by the type of name.  Birds are ACSR, flowers are AAC, etc.
