Rule 54.6-C2

54.6-C2)    Conductors of 0-750 Volts: Lateral 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 clearances from the center line and surface of pole, and from the surface of crossarms, 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 having the properties of the material specified in Rule 22.2-C.
