Of low potential circuits under the
following regulations shall be al
lowed only when circuits are 50 ar

Of service there will be no passage

Second. Transformer aecondaries
OF distributing systems may be
grounded. and when grounded. the
following rules shall be complied
with.
fa) The ground wire shall be
kept outside OF the buildings, but
may bc directly attached 20 the
building or pole. The wire shall be
as possible. aud kinks. coils and
sharp bends shall be avoided. Pro-
yided. no secondary ground wire
shalt be placed on corner pole.
(b) The grounding shall be made
at the neutral point or wire when
ever a neutral point or wire is &C
lceasiblc.
fc1 Where 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
land any other point In the circuit
does not exceed two hundred hfty
| (250) volts.
| fd) The grounded connection
shall. when practicable, be ut the
transformer. The Superintendent OF
| public Utilities may require any
further grounding which he may
deem necessary.
(e) The ground wire I'm direct
current. three ca wire aystema.
shall not at central stations be
smaller than the neutral wire. and
not smaller than No. 8 u. q B. gauge
elsewhere.
