Rule 54.4-C7
54.4-C7) New Rule
Strikeout and Underline Version
Rule 54.4-C7
54.4-C7) Vertically at Crossings in Spans:
The Vertical clearance required at crossings in spans by Table 2, Cases 4, 5, 6 and 7, may be reduced when:
1) All conductors are of the same circuit, and
2)
Vertical taps are installed between
related crossing conductors.
The minimum vertical clearance shall be the following:
Supply Conductor Voltage: |
Minimum Vertical Clearance: |
0 - 750 Volts |
12 inches |
750 - 20,000 Volts |
24 inches |
20,000 - 35,000 Volts |
30 inches |
35,000 - 75,000 Volts |
48 inches |
EXCEPTIONS:
a)
In vertical configuration, there is no
specific vertical clearance required between conductors that are mechanically
and electrically connected at the crossing.
b) There is no specific clearance required for 0 - 750 volt multiconductor cable having a bare neutral (Rule 54.10 ) provided the messengers are mechanically connected.
