Sags and Tensions: Conductor sags shall be such that under the loading conditions specified in Rule 43 the tension in the conductors shall not be more than one–half the breaking strength of the conductor, other than communication circuits. The use of sags greater than the allowable minimum may be desirable in order to reduce working tensions.

Where the minimum size pins are used, the conductor tensions shall be limited to 2,000 pounds when applying the double arm, pin and conductor fastening provisions of Rules 49.2 and 49.3.
