COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY
BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
In the Matter of:
THE UNION LIGHT, HEAT ANDPOWER COMPANY
ALLEGED FAILURE TO COMPLY WITHCOMMISSION REGULATIONS 80? KAR5:006, SECTION 26(1)(a) and 807 KAR5:041, SECTION 3
)))) CASE NO. 96-606)))
ORDERThe Union Light, Heat and Power Company ("ULH8P") is a Kentucky corporation
engaged in the distribution of electricity and gas to the public for compensation for lights,
heat, power, and other uses and is a utility subject to Commission jurisdiction. KRS
278.010.
KRS 278.280(2) directs the Commission to prescribe rules and regulations for the
performance of services by utilities. Pursuant to this statutory directive, the Commission
promulgated 807 KAR 5:006, Section 26, which requires a utility to notify the
Commission within two hours of learning that a utility-related accident has resulted in
death, shock, or burn requiring medical treatment at a hospital or similar medical facility.
In addition, the Commission has promulgated 807 KAR 5:041, Section 3(1), which
requires utilities to maintain their facilities in accordance with the National Electrical
Safety Code.
The Commission Staff submitted to the Commission a Utility Accident Investigation
Report ("Report" ), dated October 4, 1996, attached hereto as Appendix A, which alleges
that on January 14, 1996 Stephen Carpenter was using a metal pole to clean ice from
the gutters of his home at 2364 Brice Avenue, Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. Mr. Carpenter
inadvertently contacted a 7,200 Volt distribution line and was electrocuted. The Report
notes two probable violations of Commission regulations: 1) 807 KAR 5:006, Section
26(1)(a), due to the utility's failure to notify the Commission within two hours of learning
of the accident; and 2) 807 KAR 5:041, Section 3, due to insufficient clearance under
windy conditions between the 7,200 Volt overhead distribution line and a residence. In
addition, the Report recommends that ULHLP be required to move the distribution line
so that it complies with the minimum clearance requirement under all weather conditions.
The Commission on its own motion HEREBY ORDERS that:
ULH8P shall submit to the Commission within 20 days of the date of this
Order a written response to the allegations contained in the Report.
2. ULHLP shall appear on February 14, 1997 at 10:00a.m., Eastern Standard
Time, in Hearing Room 1 of the Commission's offices at 730 Schenkel Lane, Frankfort,
Kentucky, to present evidence concerning the incident which is the subject of the Report,
specifically the alleged violation of Commission regulations 807 KAR 5:006, Section
26(1)(a) and 807 KAR 5:041, Section 3(1), and to show cause, if any it can, why it
should not be subject to the penalties of KRS 278.990 for its alleged failure to comply
with the aforementioned Commission regulations and why it should not be required to
move the overhead distribution line.
3. The Report dated October 4, 1996 is hereby made a part of the record of
this case.
4. Any request for an informal conference with Commission Staff shall be set
forth in writing and filed with the Commission within 20 days of the date of this Order.
Done at Frankfort, Kentucky, this 26th day of December, 1996.

Utility AccidentEngineering Report
Introduction
The staff investigators have reported a horizontal clearance of 3.8 feet to Mr, Carpenter'
home under windy conditions while the utility has measured a clearance of approximately 5 feetunder 'calm conditions. Neither of these clearances meet the minimum requirements of the 1990National Electrical Safety Code ("NESC"}Rule 234C.1, This rule requires a horizontal clearance
of 4.5 feet when displaced by wind and a clearance of 7.5 feet under calm conditions. However, the
NESC does not require existing installations which comply with prior editions of the code to be
modified to meet new rules. This line was last upgraded in 1973, at which time„ the 1961 edition
was in effect. Rule 234C.4.(a}of that edition requires a minimum clearance of 3 feet. Considering
the close proximity of the line to the house, it is necessary to determine if the line would be blown
too close to the house under windy conditions.
Data
Rule 250 of the 1961 NESC contains a general loading map, which recognizes three loading
districts in the United States. "Loading" refers to conditions such as ice, wind, and temperature,
which places additional stress on the conductor and its supports. The three districts specify loading
conditions which can be assumed to occur in difierent parts of the country. Kentucky is in a Medium
Loading District, for which a horizontal wind pressure of 4 pounds per square foot can be assumed.
This pressure was used in the analysis. It should be noted that the 1990 code requires that 6 pounds
per square foot be assumed.
ULHAP has provided a survey, performed by a Registered Land Surveyor, of the accident
site. These measurements were used in the analysis as they reflect the line's position without the
effects of wind. Specific measurements used in the analysis are depicted on the diagrams in
Appendix 1.
Conductor characteristics are contained in charts produced by various manufacturers. Byletter dated July 18, 1996, ULHkP was asked to confirm the accuracy of the charts, as well as to
Utiiity:Victim:

Union Light, Heat, 8. PowerMr. Stephen W, Carpenter

supply stress/strain and thermal expansion data. This information was received on August 5, 1996,and is included in Appendix 2.
Results
Appendix 3 contains a spread sheet analysis. Beginning on page 2 is a listing of the line'position at one foot increments and at important points, such as the accident location and thebuilding's corners. Column K shows the horizontal clearance to the house when the line is at rest.Column L shows the clearance when the line is displaced by wind exerting a 4 pound per square footpressure. The analysis shows that at the accident location, the line would be about 3.16feet fromthe house under a 4 pound wind, which complies with the three feet minimum. However, beginningabout 3 feet from this point, the line would be less than three feet &om the house, and graduallyreduce's to less than 2 feet from the house at the front corner. These calculations only reflect theinfluence of wind displacement to the position of the cable and are only valid at the temperature, 25degrees Fahrenheit, when ULHAP's surveyors made the measurements. Under higher temperatures,the line would most likely be closer, due to thermal expansion which would increase the sag. Theelongation of the cable &om the wind pressure was not considered, as it too, would further reducethe clearance, which has already been shown to be inadequate.
Rule 234C.4,(a) requires that the horizontal clearance govern above the roof level to the pointwhere the diagonal equals the vertical clearance requirement, which is 8 feet. The elevation of thehouse is 121.09 feet, while the line ranges from 124.4 to 126.3 feet, which places the diagonalbetween 4.6 and 5.6 feet. Therefore, throughout the entire length of the house, the horizontalclearance would govern.
Conclusions and Recommendations
As the line could be less than three feet &om the house when displaced by wind, it does notmeet the horizontal clearance requirements of the 1961 NESC. ULH&P is in probable violation of807 KAR 5:041, Section 3, Acceptable Standards. It is recommended that the line be modified tomeet the requirements of the 1990NESC.

Dear Mr. WelchI
The following information is requested to assist us in completing our investigationreport of the above referenced accident:
Please conTIrm that the information for Raven 1/0 6/1 conductors listed in theattached data sheet accurately reflect the characteristics of the primary conductor involvedin the accident. If not, provide a listing of the actual characteristics, most importantlydiameter and weight.
2. Provide a copy of the stress/strain diagram and linear coefTIcient of thermalexpansion for the primary conductor involved in the accident.
A response by August 1, l 996 would be appreciated so we may finalize this report.

RE: Steven Carpenter, Electrical Contact FatalityDate of Accident: I/14/96
In response to your letter dated July 18, 1996, the primary conductor was Raven VO ACSR 6/1, and the
information you have accurately reflects its characteristics.
Also, attached is a copy of the stress-strain curves for this conductor and a copy of the table that containsthe temperature coefficient of expansion.

To supplement The Aluminum Association Stress-Strain-Creep Curves, the follow-ing values for temperature coefficients of expansion may be used for normal sag-tensioncomputations. For ACSR conductors, the temperature coefficients of expansion listedapply only so long as the stress is borne by both the steel and aluminum strands.

stress-strain-creep curves forAluminum Electrical Conductors
foreword
In 1961, the Technical Committee on Electrical Conductor of The Aluminum Asso-
ciation initiated a study of the Stress-Strain Curves for bare stranded aluminum con-ductor and ACSR (Aluminum Conductor, Steel Reinforced) in use by members of the
Association manufacturing these products. The purpose of the study was to determinewhat, if any, differences existed between curves for the same types of conductors.
Results of this study revealed that the curves in use by the various companiesdiffered to only a minor degree. In fact, the differences in most instances were no
greater than the experimental error that might occur during the tests upon which the
curves are based. It was thus found possible to adopt Typical Stress-Strain Curves for
the various standard types of conductors now being produced for computing sags and
tensions to be used in installing these conductors.
In 1964, it was decided that this study should be extended to incorporate data on
Creep —the permanent elongation of the conductors that can be expected with time
under sustained stress after the conductors have been placed in service. Again, the
study showed that the effect of creep data used by various conductor manufacturers forstandard conductors differed by only a minor degree. It was thus found that averagecreep data could be used.
These curves are proposed and presented for sag-tension calculations only. Stress-Strain Curves are not a useful parameter for product acceptance.
The study has been completed for the following types of bare stranded conductors:
ACSR ( Al /Steel strands)6/1 30/77/1 45/7
18/1 54/724/7 54/1926/7 84/19
EC Aluminum (Strands)7 37
19 61
Typical Stress-Strain-Creep Curves for these conductors have been adopted by tneAssociation's Technical Committee on Electrical Conductor, and copies of these Curvesare attached. Study of data for other types of conductors is continuing.
August 15, 1969
Note for Bundled ConductorsWhen overhead conductors are bundled,close matching of Sags and Tensionsrequires that the bundle subconduclorsbe manufactured idenficaily and thatthey be handled identically duringin st a l la lion
