The generating voltage shall be approximately 230 volts
between the terminals.

3. DATUM TEMPERATURE.

For the purpose of calculating the stresses as provided in
clause 12 of the regulations the datum temperature shall
be taken as 20° Fahrenheit.

4. COVERING OF OVERHEAD LINES.

Electric lines at low pressure shall be covered throughout
with triple braiding, thoroughly impregnated with weather-
proof compound ; provided that where circumstances permit
the lines may, with the written consent of the Minister
obtained before the work is commenced, be bare. Electric
lines at high pressure shall be insulated with vulcanized
rubber of at least 600 megohm grade ; provided that where
circumstances permit the lines may, with the written con-
sent of the Minister obtained before the work is commenced,
be bare.

Electric lines at extra high pressure shall be bare.

Earthed neutral or intermediate conductors may in all
cases be bare.

Every pole or support carrying extra-high-pressure lines or
high-pressure lines, the conductors of which are bare, shall
have attached to it a plate marked “ Danger—Live Wires.”

Bare low-pressure and bare high-pressure electric lines
erected with the written consent of the Minister shall be
subject to the following conditions :—

(a.) The electric lines upon which workmen are engaged
shall be disconnected from the source of supply, but if a
suitable raised platform is used the electric lines need not
be so disconnected.

(b.) Where telegraph lines intersect or are menaced by the
licensee’s bare electric lines the licensee shall bear the cost of
insulating, protecting, and maintaining the insulation and
protection of all telegraph lines, whether erected before or
after the bare electric lines, and also the cost of all special
work and the maintenance thereof which the Minister of
Telegraphs deems it necessary to carry out in consequence
of the licensee’s electric lines being bare.

(c.) When, in the opinion of the Minister of Telegraphs,
it is considered necessary that such bare electric lines at any
crossing should be replaced by electric lines insulated in the
manner prescribed in the first part of this clause, the licensee
shall insulate such bare electric lines when requested to do
so by the Minister of Telegraphs.

(d.) When, in the opinion of the Minister, it is necessary
in the interests of the public safety that the use of bare
electric lines should be discontinued, the licensee shall, upon
receiving notice from the Minister, substitute therefor electric
lines covered in the manner prescribed by the first part of this
clause.

(e.) Low-pressure wires, whether braided or bare, which at
any portion of their length are carried on the same poles
or supports as bare high-pressure lines or extra-high-pressure
lines shall be deemed to be “infected” throughout their
entire length by such high-pressure or extra-high-pressure
lines, and shall be subject to the regulations governing high-
pressure and extra-high-pressure lines respectively.

5. NOTICES re EXTENSIONS, ETC.

Records of results of tests (Regulation 37), and notices re

poses” shall include the operation of motor generators for
lighting purposes.

7. WIRING CONSUMERS’ PREMISES.—MONOPOLY FORBIDDEN.

The licensee shall not grant or agree to grant any company,
firm, or person the sole right to supply or erect the electric
wiring on any consumer’s premises, nor shall any consumer be
required to purchase from the licensee or his assigns any
material or apparatus for installing the electric wiring on such
premises, or to have the work carried out by the licensee or
his assigns, as a condition precedent to a supply of electrical
energy being given by the licensee to the consumer.

8. DURATION OF LICENSE.

This license shall, unless sooner determined in accordance
with the provisions hereinafter expressed, continue in force
for a period of forty-two years from the date hereof. Upon
the expiry of the said term, or upon the sooner determination
of this license by revocation or otherwise, all rights hereby
granted to the licensee shall thereupon cease and determine ;
but such expiration or determination shall not relieve the
licensee of any liability theretofore incurred under this
license.
