here is a.pdf from Southwire it's kinda long but I think the stuff you're probably looking for starts near pg.10 This is not quite what I was looking for, but it is a very interesting manual to print off and keep. I will have to dig through my old notes from when I was an apprentice. It is not something you would use everytime. I am just curious on the force that will be needed so I can purchase a non stretch rope for the pull mentioned in "1200A shorted wire"......or something like that! Thanks for the help. It has been awhile since I have done any work that a contractor does. I got out of working for a contractor about 4 years ago and work as a maintenance electrician now.
