General Order 95

Section II

Definitions of Terms as Used in The Rules of This Order

23.3     Sag includes either Normal or Apparent, as defined in the following:

A.     Normal Sag means the difference in elevation between the highest point of support of a span and the lowest point of the conductor in the span at 60° F. and no wind loading (see App. G, Figure 4 ).

B.     Apparent Sag means the maximum departure, measured vertically, of a wire in a given span from a straight line between the two points of support of the span at 60° F. and no wind loading. Where the two supports are at same level, this will be the normal sag (see Appendix G, Figure 5 ).
