Original Version

Rule 54.4-D6b

54.4-D6b)    More Than 750 Volts supported on climbable poles:

Where conductors are supported on a climbable 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. 

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 shall be limited to four.  Branch circuits may be taken from such construction without the use of crossarms provided a climbing and working space as specified in Rules 54.7 and 54.11 is maintained.
