sec.255 Location of overhead circuit in relation to another overhead circuit

This section applies if the overhead circuits of electric lines forming part of the works of 1 or more electricity entities include different overhead circuits of electric lines that are adjacent, or that cross, and that are on 1 structure. The circuits must be placed as follows— 2 or more low voltage circuits must be placed 1 above the other or side by side; 2 or more high voltage circuits must be placed 1 above the other or side by side; low voltage circuits must be placed below high voltage circuits; if 2 or more high voltage circuits are placed 1 above the other, any lower voltage circuit must be placed below any higher voltage circuit. Subsection (2) (c) does not apply to conductors erected on a pole transformer substation. Subsection (2) (d) does not apply if an electricity entity considers that— exceptional circumstances apply; and failure to comply with the requirement would not create an unsafe or hazardous situation.
