Rule 33.3-B
33.3-B. Independent Ground Connections
Ground connections for equipment of any one of the types listed
in Rule 33.3-A shall not be interconnected with ground connections for equipment
of any other type listed therein, except:
In common neutral systems the neutral conductors of 0-750 volt
supply circuits and of supply circuits of 750-5000 volts may be interconnected
and grounded in accordance with the provisions of Rule 59; and
A ground connection for a set of lighting arresters may be interconnected
with:
A ground connection for neutral conductor of the circuit protected by the
set of lighting arresters ,
The cable sheath or body of the cable pothead where the cable conductors
are connected to the circuit protected by set of lighting arresters,
Metallic conduit enclosing conductors of the circuit protected by the set
of lighting arresters,
Transformer cases grounded in accordance with Rule 58.3-C3 where transformers
are connected to the circuit protected by the set of lighting arresters,
and
The ground connection of another set of lighting arresters, provided the
circuits protected are of the same voltage classification.
Where more than two sets of lighting arresters on supply circuits of the
same voltage classification are installed on a pole or structure, and their
ground terminals are interconnected at the top of the ground connections,
two complete and effective ground connections will be considered sufficient
for the purpose of this rule. Connection to an effectively grounded
cable sheath or conduit of a circuit protected by the lighting arresters
will be considered as one of these two effective ground connections.
