HT service cable

dropping from

pole is not

protected near

the base of the

pole, above

ground level

HT cable dropping from HT

pole must be protected in steel

pipe of required size at least 2m

from the ground level to

protect the cable from any

physical damage. The cable

should be supported on

covered tray or ladder

throughout its length up to the

HT panel base-plate (except the

part of the cable laid

underground at a depth of at

least 1 meter).
