Draft:NGCP abbreviations

Introduction
The NGCP abbreviation and pole number is an easy key to maintain overhead lines and help the crews to read during maintenance.. The abbreviation consists of: standard voltage code, circuit, from substation (three letter only like DUH - Meralco/NGCP Duhat Substation) and to substation (three letter only) or you can add pole number at the end of abbreviation. The abbreviation prints to the reflective yellow adhesive sticker and rotates to 90° to save space around the pole.

Examples
•8LI1DUH-HER - Hermosa-Duhat segment circuit 1, 230kV

•8LI1QUE-DUH - Duhat-Quezon segment circuit 1, 230kV

•8LI2DAS-LPI and 8LI1DAS-LPI - Dasmariñas-Las Piñas segment circuits 1 & 2, 230kV

•9LI2HER-SJO and 9LI1HER-SJO - Hermosa-San Jose del Monte segment circuits 1 & 2, 500kV

and so on....

History
Since NGCP is the owner of transmission facilities, the NGCP started to put abbreviation and pole number (or commonly known as "pole tag"). They wanna put first on Hermosa-Duhat-Balintawak Transmission Line, the first transmission line along expressway. They put abbreviation and pole number (or pole tag) on steel poles along Hermosa-Duhat segment and even Duhat-Balintawak segment before other transmission lines put their pole tags.
