RISER POLES
INTRODUCTION
1. For proper fuse coordination, refer to the SYSTEM PROTECTION section to select the
appropriate fuse for underground risers.
2. Terminators or “Potheads” and their mounting brackets are included with the associated
underground plates.
3. The terminator bracket shall always be installed a minimum of 38 inches below the cutout
and arrester bracket.
4. The feeder riser plates are no longer in this section. They have been re-named and are now
included in the SWITCHING section of this book.
5. Plate options are listed on each construction standard.
6. The plates within this section have had their names changed slightly to be consistent with
other plates within this book.
7. Hot-line clamps are not part of the riser plates and must be plated separately.
8. There is no longer a designation for tangent or deadend riser, so all riser plates can be built
on tangent or deadends, as shown in the drawings. For example, for 26.4kV, there is no
longer a DUA1 and DUA2. All 26.4kV single phase risers are now built with DUA.
9. The 26.4kV plates are shown, but the 4kV and 13.2kV plate names are also listed on each
page. The only difference is the size and kV rating of the arrester.
10. For the 26.4kV system, the 18kV arrester ARR LI 003 is now used in both riser pole and
distribution line applications. Previously, ARR LI 014 served as the riser pole arrester.
