at the neutral point or wire when
ever a neutral point or wire IL ae-
ceaaibio.
(c) Where no neutral point or
wire ~ accessible. one side or the
secondary circuit may be grounded.
provided the maximum difference OF
potential between the grounded point
and any other point In the circuit
does not exceed two hundred titty
td) The grounded connection
shall when practicable, be at the
transformer. Tho Superintendent OF
public Utilities may require any
/ further grounding which no may
deem necessary
(e) The ground wire in direct
current. three (3) wire systems
shall not at central stations be
smaller than the neutral wire. and
not smaller than No. y. & ;. gauge
