Original Version
Rule 58.5-D
58.5-D) Switches and cutouts shall be so located that, when in either the open or closed position, all energized parts thereof are not less than 15 or 18 inches from the centerline of pole as required by Table 1, Case 8, and no part of such equipment shall be in the climbing space. Such apparatus is permitted to be wholly or in part within the working space. The clearances of 15 or 18 inches need not apply to nonfusable pole-top switches connected to a circuit of 7,500 volts or more, provided the switches are installed substantially in the same vertical plane as the conductors to which they are attached, and no climbing space has to be provided through and above the level of such switches.

See figures 58-1 and 58-2. Such apparatus is permitted to be wholly or in part within the working space. The clearances of 15 or 18 inches need not apply to nonfusable pole-top switches connected to a circuit of 7,500 volts or more, provided the switches are installed substantially in the same vertical plane as the conductors to which they are attached, and no climbing space has to be provided through and above the level of such switches.
