Requirement for insulated conductors from transformer secondary
Requirement for insulated conductors from transformer secondary
(OP)
We have had a member lodge a complaint that we have a "safety violation" by not insulating the jumpers from the secondary bushings of an overhead transformer down to the secondary or service drop. He claims that there is a code requirement for this. In 28 years in the utility business I have never seen this as code requirement. Some utilities and coops do it for protection from faults due to wildlife (squirrels, birds, racoons, etc), but I am unaware of it as a requirement. Anybody care to enlighten me...
