sa) The ground wire shall be
kept outside Of the buildings. but
may be directly attached 20 the
building or pole. The wire shall be
carried In as nearly a straight lne

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-
ceszible.
(c) where no neutral point or
wire II accessible. one side OF the
secondary circuit may be grounded,
provided the ma xifnum difference 81
potential between the grounded point
and amy other point In the circuit
does not exceed two hundred utty
t2spl volts.
fdl The grounded connection
shall. when practicable, be ~ the
transformer. The superintendent OF
Public Utilities may require any
further grounding which he may
deem necessary.

current, three (3) wire systems.
shall not at central stations be
smaller than the neutral wire. and
not smaller than No. u. a. s. gauge
