Of low potential circuits under the
following regulations shall be al

ranged that under normal conditions
OF service there will be no passage
OF current over the ground wires.
Second. Transformer seeondaries
OF distributing systems may be
grounded. and when grounded, the
following rules shall be complied

tn) Tho ground wire shall be
kept outside 81 the buildings. but
may DO directly attached 70 the

as possible. and kinks. coils and
sharp bends shall be avoided. Pro-
vIded. no secondary ground wire
shall be placed on corner pole.
tbD The grounding shall be made
Mt the neutral point or wire when
ever a neutral point or wire IL ac-
ceasible,
fc) whore no neutral point or
wire IL accessible one side OF 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 ffty
l25OD volts
fdj The grounded connection
shall when practicable, be ~ the

Public Utilities may require any
further grounding which he may
deem necessary.
te) The ground wire in direct
