Rule 54.6-C

54.6-C.    Lateral

1)    Conductors Of 0-750 Volts: Lateral runs of conductors of 0-750 volts may be less than the clearances from center line and surface of pole, and from the surface of crossarm, as specified in Table 1, Cases 8 and 9, provided such conductors are suitably insulated and placed along the bottom surface of crossarms and are protected by wood moulding or impregnated fiber conduit of thicknesses not less than as specified in Rule 22.2, or are protected by plastic pipe designated as Type II, in the standard specified in Rule 22.2-C. The plastic pipe shall have a minimum wall thickness of 0.10 inches.

2)    Conductors Of More Than 750 Volts: Lateral runs of conductors of more than 750 volts may be less than the clearances from center line and surface of pole, and from the surface of crossarm, as specified in Table 1, Cases 8 and 9, provided such conductor s are suitably insulated and are protected by the impregnated fiber conduit or plastic pipe specified in Rule 54.6C(1), such conduit or pipe being placed along and attached to the bottom surface of crossarm.

3)    Extent Of Run: The wood moulding, fiber conduit, or plastic pipe required for protection by this Rule 54.6C shall extend entirely under and along the arm to the outer position of any conductor in the run and in no case shall the covering be terminated within 15 inches from center line of pole.

4)    Conductor Clearances: The radial clearances between conductors, specified in Table 2, Cases 16 and 17, are not required between the suitably insulated conductors in the same lateral run.

Rule 54.6-C

54.6-C.    Lateral

1)    Lateral Runs: Lateral conductors installed as specified in this Rule 54.6-C are known as Lateral Runs.

12)    Conductors Of 0-750 Volts: Lateral runs of conductors of 0-750 volts may be installed with less than the radial clearances between conductors, specified in Table 2, Cases 16 and 17, and with less than the clearance from center line and surface of pole, and from the surface of crossarm, as specified in Table 1, Cases 8 and 9, provided such conductors are suitably insulated and placed along the bottom surface of crossarms and are protected by wood moulding or impregnated fiber conduit of thicknesses not less than as specified in Rule 22.2, or are protected by plastic pipe designated as Type II, in the standard specified in Rule 22.2-C. The plastic pipe shall have a minimum wall thickness of 0.10 inches.

23)    Conductors Of More Than 750 Volts: Lateral runs of conductors of more than 750 volts may be installed with less than the radial clearances between conductors, specified in Table 2, Cases 16 and 17, and with less than the clearance less than the clearances from center line and surface of pole, and from the surface of crossarm, as specified in Table 1, Cases 8 and 9, provided such conductor s are suitably insulated and are protected by the impregnated fiber conduit or plastic pipe specified in Rule 54.6-C(12), such conduit or pipe being placed along and attached to the bottom surface of crossarm.

34)    Extent Of Run: The wood moulding, fiber conduit, or plastic pipe required for protection by this Rule 54.6-C shall extend on the bottom surface of crossarm to within three inches of entirely under and along the arm to the outer position of any conductor in the run and in no case shall the covering be terminated within 15 inches from center line of pole less than specified for conductors in Table 1, Case 8.

4)    Conductor Clearances: The radial clearances between conductors, specified in Table 2, Cases 16 and 17, are not required between the suitably insulated conductors in the same lateral run.

5)    Option: In lieu of the foregoing lateral conductors may be installed as specified in Rules 54.6-A and 54.4-D9
