shall be placed on corner pole.
% The grounding shall be made
at the neutral point or wire whom
ever a neutral point or wire Ia ac-
ceHsibls.
tcD Where no neutral point or
wire iH accessible. one side Of the
secondary circuit may be grounded.
provided tho maximum difference Of
potential between the grounded point
and any other point IN the circuit
does not exceed two hundred ntty
(250) volts.
fd) The grounded connection
shall when practicable, be at the
transformer. The superintendent OF
Public Utilities may require any
further grounding which he may
deem necessary.
te) The ground wire In direct
current, three ca wire aystama,
shall not at central stations he

not smaller than No. 6 y. e. =. gauge

90 The ground wire In alter
