51.6-A.    Marking of Poles where conductors are not on Crossarms

Wood or Metal poles which support conductors of more than 750 volts in vertical configuration and not on crossarms shall have bands of bright yellow color not less than one foot in width painted around them.  The top of such a band shall be neither less than 2 ˝ feet nor more than 3 feet below the lowest conductor of each circuit of more than 750 volts so supported.

In lieu of the paint required by this rule, similarly located signs, showing the words “High Voltage” in letters not less than 3 inches in height, shall be used.  The letters on such signs shall be white on a green or black background, or such signs shall be of corrosion-resisting metal with the letters cut out therefrom and clearly legible.

The provisions of this rule, 51.6-A shall not apply to the marking of poles at the levels of supply circuits of more than 20,000 volts in rural districts.

See Rule 65 for marking of Towers
