Change List for this Rule


Original Version

Rule 86.7-A

 

86.7-A.    Overhead Guys: All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet above the ground.

 

(1)    Exposed: Ungrounded overhead guys which are required by Rule 86.6-B1 to be sectionalized because of exposure to supply conductors of 250-22,500 volts shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment to wood poles or structures which support conductors. One insulator will suffice where such an overhead guy is less than 17 feet in length between wood poles or structures.

 

(2)    In Proximity: Overhead guys which are required to be sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2 shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment to poles, crossarms or structures (see App. G, Figs. 47 and 48).

Excepted from this requirement are guys to poles which support no conductors provided such guys are not in proximity to supply conductors of 0-22,500 volts on any poles other than the poles to which they are attached. Such guys, if required to be sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2, shall have an insulator 6 to 9 feet from the point of attachment to the pole which supports conductors (see App. G, Figs. 44b and 44e).

Rule 86.7-A

 

86.7-A.    Overhead Guys: All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet above the ground.

 

(1)    Exposed: Ungrounded overhead guys which are required by Rule 86.6-B1 to be sectionalized because of exposure to supply conductors of 250-22,500 volts shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment to wood poles or structures which support conductors. One insulator will suffice where such an overhead guy is less than 17 feet in length between wood poles or structures.

 

(2)    In Proximity: Overhead guys which are required to be sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2 shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment to poles, crossarms or structures (see App. G, Figs. 47 and 48).

Excepted from this requirement are guys to poles which support no conductors provided such guys are not in proximity to supply conductors of 0-
22,500 35,500 volts on any poles other than the poles to which they are attached. Such guys, if required to be sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2, shall have an insulator 6 to 9 feet from the point of attachment to the pole which supports conductors (see App. G, Figs. 44b and 44e).

Rule 86.7-A

 

86.7-A.    Overhead Guys: All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet above the ground.

 

(1)    Exposed: Ungrounded overhead guys which are required by Rule 86.6-B1 to be sectionalized because of exposure to supply conductors of 250-22,500 volts shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment to wood poles or structures which support conductors. One insulator will suffice where such an overhead guy is less than 17 feet in length between wood poles or structures.

Excepted from this requirement are guys to poles which support no conductors provided such guys are not in proximity to supply conductors of 0-
35,500 volts on any poles other than the poles to which they are attached. Such guys, if required to be sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2 , shall have an insulator 6 to 9 feet from the point of attachment to the pole which supports conductors (see App. G, Figs. 44b and 44e ).
