Rule 52.4
52.4 High Voltage Marking
Crossarms Supporting Conductors of More than 750 volts and arms supporting equipment connected to or containing conductors of more than 750 volts shall be marked, by methods described in Rule 52.4-A, as specified in Rules 52.4-B, 52.4-C and 52.4-D with the exceptions specified in Rule 52.4-E
A.
Methods
Crossarms required by these rules
to be marked shall have a single sign or pair of signs showing the words “HIGH”
and “VOLTAGE” in letters not less than 3 inches in height. These signs shall be
placed on the face and back of such crossarms, unless exempted by provisions of
Rules 52.4-B, C, D and E. Such signs shall be of weather and
corrosion-resisting material, solid or with letters cut out there from and
clearly legible. In lieu of marking the
crossarm, Rule 51.6-A may be applied.
B.
Crossarms Supporting Conductors Of
More Than 750 Volts
All crossarms supporting
conductors of more than 750 volts shall
be marked in accordance with Rule 52.4-A unless modified by Rules 52.4-C, D,
and E.
C.
Combination Crossarms Supporting
Conductors Of More Than 750 Volts And Conductors Of 750 Volts Or Less
Combination
arms shall be marked as high voltage on the portions supporting conductors of
750-7500 volts only.
D.
Crossarms
Supporting Miscellaneous Equipment
Included in this group are
crossarms supporting transformers, cutouts, regulators, oil switches, air
switches, capacitors, series controllers, and similar apparatus which are
connected to or are a part of a circuit of more than 750 volts. These crossarms
shall be marked as specified in Rule 52. 4-A.
(1)
Hanger
Arms, cutout Arms, and similar Apparatus:
Where high voltage signs are
used as the method of marking, they are required on the face toward the
climbing space of hanger arms or of arms supporting cutouts, excepting that
signs are not required on any arm supporting cutouts only where such cutout arm
is within 30 inches vertically from either a line arm or a hanger arm in which
is marked as high voltage
High voltage signs are required
on the face toward climbing space of hanger arms supporting cutouts, except
that signs are not required on any crossarm supporting cutouts where such
cutout arm is within 30 inches vertically from either a line arm or a hanger
arm which is marked as high voltage.
(2) Heel Arms: Heel arms, while treated in these Rules as supporting high voltage equipment, are not required to be marked as high voltage.
E. Exceptions
(1) Double Arms: High voltage signs are not required on the inside faces of double arms.
(2) Brackets: Where extension brackets or clearance brackets are used to extend or supplement crossarms, and support conductors of more than 750 volts, such supplementary supports are not required to be marked as high voltage.
(3) Metal Poles: Metal poles with crossarms supporting conductors of more than 750 volts, may, in lieu of marking crossarms, be marked in accordance with the provisions of Rule 51.6-A.
(4) Metal crossarms: Where metal crossarms supporting 65 conductors of more than 750 volts are attached to wood or metal poles, the poles may be marked in accordance with the provisions of Rule 51.6-A.
