AI summary This section discusses voltage and clearance requirements, emphasizing the adjustment of minimum vertical clearances based on conductor sag differences and the need for additional clearances in areas with large machinery, such as farms and industrial zones.

To increase the horizontal clearance distance from the 7.2kV conductor to the residence and its protuberances, we recommended that a 32" long epoxy insulator arm be installed on the roadside of the two (2) utility poles closest to the resi...

AI summary To increase the horizontal clearance distance from the 7.2kV conductor to the Tanner Residence, a 32" long epoxy insulator arm was recommended for installation on the two closest utility poles. This installation significantly improved the horizontal and vertical distances from the residence to the conductor, as detailed in the text.
