Except clearances
of wires over boat ramps and fixed live parts as per Table 232-2. Also supply service drops to
residential buildings of lower than 750 volts are not specially recognized in
Quick Pole and so will require clearance for 750 volts. Communication service
drops not specially recognized when crossing residential driveways, thus
requiring communication cable clearances. Drip loops of supply service wires
are not input into Quick Pole for clearance to ground tests. |
