Original Version
Rule 54.4-D6b
54.4-D6b) More Than 750 Volts: Where conductors
are dead ended on a pole in vertical configuration, the energized portions
of such conductors shall have clearances of not less than 15 inches from
the surface of pole for voltages between 750 and 7500 volts and 18 inches
from the surface of pole for voltages in excess of 7500 volts. Where
conductors of more than one circuit are dead ended on a pole in vertical
configuration, increased pole clearances are required as follows:
All energized portions of conductors of a circuit dead ended
in vertical configuration below any other circuit on a pole shall be maintained
at a clearance of not less than 3 feet from the surface of the pole for conductors
of more than 7500 volts; and
Not more than two conductors of a circuit of 750-5000 volts shall be attached
directly to a pole in vertical configuration without the use of crossarms.
The number of conductors of a circuit of more than 5000 volts so supported
on a pole is not limited. Branch circuits may be taken from such construction
without the use of crossarms provided a climbing and working space as specified
in Rule 54.7 is maintained.
