1. MESSENGER-CUM-NEUTRAL WIRE:

6.1 The bare messenger wire shall be of aluminium alloy generally confirming to
IS 398/Pt.IV/94 composed of 7 strands and shall be suitable compacted or stranded
to have smooth round surface to avoid damages to the overall insulation of phase &
neutral conductor twisted around the messenger. There shall be no joint in any
wire of the stranded messenger Conductor except these made in the base rod or
wires before final drawing.

6.2 The sizes and other technical characteristics of the messenger wire shall be as
given in the Table No.2.
