Decision # 73722 GO 95 -Rule 86.4-C4

86.4-C4) Passing On Same Poles: The radial clearances between guys and conductors supported by or attached to the same poles or crossarms shall be not less than as specified in Table 2, Case 19.

a) Overhead Guys: Overhead guys of communication lines passing through the level of supply conductors shall do so only between pole pin positions or outside of the outer pin position of such conductors on the crossarm.

b) Anchor Guys: Anchor guys which pass supply conductors shall clear such conductors by not less than the clearances shown in Table 2, Case 19. Anchor guys which pass through the level of supply conductors at positions other than between pole pin positions or outside of the outer pin positions, shall be sectionalized by means of an insulator placed below the supply conductors in accordance with the provisions of Rule 86.7-B, and in addition thereto an insulator shall be placed not less than 2 feet above the supply conductor level.

The clearance between anchor guys and communication conductors and/or cable attached directly to surface of pole, may be less than 3 inches as specified in Table 2, Case 19, Column D, provided: The guy is not a ‘guy in proximity’ or all parts of the guy are not less than 6 feet below 0-750-volt supply conductors supported on same pole and a wood guard is placed on cable; also, a guy attached to a pole which supports supply conductors at a distance of not less than 6 feet above communication messenger and/or cable shall (1) have an insulator placed in the guy at a distance of not less than 6 feet horizontally from the pole, or (2) have an insulator placed not less than 3 inches nor more than 6 inches above the messenger and/or cable, and a suitable wood guard placed on the messenger or cable.

86.4-C4) Passing On Same Poles: The radial clearances between guys and conductors supported by or attached to the same poles or crossarms shall be not less than as specified in Table 2, Case 19 except that the clearance between guys and communication messenger and/or cable attached directly to surface of pole may be less than the 3 inches specified in Table 2, Case 19, Column C provided: the guy is not a guy in proximity, or all parts of the guy are not less than 6 feet below 0-750-volt supply conductors supported on same pole, and a wood guard or equivalent is placed on the messenger and/or cable; also, a guy attached to a pole which supports supply conductors at a distance of not less than 6 feet above communication messenger and/or cable shall (1) have an insulator placed in the guy above the communication messenger and/or cable, at a distance of not less than 6 feet horizontally from the pole, or (2) have an insulator placed in the guy not less than 3 inches nor more than 6 inches above the messenger and/or cable, and a wood guard or equivalent placed on the messenger and/or cable.

b) Anchor Guys: Anchor guys which pass supply conductors shall clear such conductors by not less than the clearances shown in Table 2, Case 19. Anchor guys which pass through the level of supply conductors at positions other than between pole pin positions or outside of the outer pin positions, shall be sectionalized by means of an insulator placed below the supply conductors in accordance with the provisions of Rule 86.7-B, and in addition thereto an insulator shall be placed not less than 2 feet above the supply conductor level.

The clearance between anchor guys and communication conductors and/or cable attached directly to surface of pole, may be less than 3 inches as specified in Table 2, Case 19, Column D, provided: The guy is not a ‘guy in proximity’ or all parts of the guy are not less than 6 feet below 0-750-volt supply conductors supported on same pole and a wood guard is placed on cable; also, a guy attached to a pole which supports supply conductors at a distance of not less than 6 feet above communication messenger and/or cable shall (1) have an insulator placed in the guy at a distance of not less than 6 feet horizontally from the pole, or (2) have an insulator placed not less than 3 inches nor more than 6 inches above the messenger and/or cable, and a suitable wood guard placed on the messenger or cable.
