* In heavy loading districts, sags of the given values are inadequate for the following conductors and must be increased to meet the safety factor requirements:
Hard–drawn copper, No. 12 AWG in spans greater than 130 feet. Galvanized iron BB, No. 10 BWG in spans greater than 170 feet.
Galvanized iron, EBB, No. 9 BWG in spans greater than 170 feet. Galvanized iron, BB, No. 12 BWG in spans greater than 115 feet.
Galvanized iron, EBB, No 10 BWG in spans greater than 140 feet. Galvanized iron, BB, No. 14 BWG in spans of any length.
Galvanized iron, EBB, No. 12 and No 14 BWG in spans of any length.
