PREFACE

The publication entitled CROSSINGS CODE, and subtitled Code of Practice for Crossings between Power and Telecommunication Overhead Lines In-Span, and those formed by attachment of Conductors to Common Supports and for Crossings Between Power and Telecommunication Stay Wires and Overhead Lines, was prepared jointly by the then Australian Telecommunications Commission and the Electricity Supply Association of Australia (ESAA) and adopted on 19 January
1988.

This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

It superseded three earlier publications: the Code of Practice for Overhead Power and Telecommunication In-span Crossings, Issue 1, 1969, the Code of Practice for Stay Wire Crossings, Issue 2, 1977, and the Arrangement for the Common Use of Poles, Issue 3, 1979. The Crossings Code sets out the requirements for the design, construction and maintenance of:
in-span crossings between the overhead lines of a Power Authority and those of Telecom Australia,

crossings between the stay wires of a Power Authority and aerial lines of
Telecom Australia and vice versa, and
(0)

crossings where a pole of a Power Authority or of Telecom Australia may be used to provide a common support for the conductors of both parties.

The Crossings Code gives guidelines for who is responsible for costs in the
construction and maintenance of crossings. These are covered at the end of the Section headed 'Responsibilities'. The Crossings Code does not apply to the crossings between the traction wires of a transport authority and the lines of Telecom Australia. In 1997, Standards Australia agreed to reset, republish and distribute the Crossings Code, making the following changes in the text: (i) The term Electricity Utility has been used in place of Power Authority, in recognition of recent organizational changes in the Electricity Supply Industry. (H) Telstra, the trading name of Telstra Corporation has been used in place of
Telecom Australia.
(Hi)

In Clause numbering, a fourth level numeral has been used to improve the identification of text items, e.g. the 1988 reference Clause 3.2.2 a. iv. has
now become Clause 3.2.1 .1(d). Accordingly top-of-page second level Clause headings are no longer necessary.

This edition, like the original, includes no requirements for stringing of ABC (Aerial

Bundled Cables), however see Clause 3.1.4. Pending revision of this edition,
reference should be made to the various separations from other services and items specified in CJC 1 (SAA HB87). While this publication is designed for improved comprehension, there is no

substantive change from the 1988 edition. Accordingly the 1988 edition may
continue to be used in parallel with this publication.

The publication makes reference to superseded ESAA publication entitled Code of Practice for Overhead Line Construction. Instead reference should be made to ESAA C(b)1-1991, Guidelines for Design and Maintenance of Overhead Distribution and Transmission Lines.

This publication was prepared under the authority of Standards AustralialStandards New Zealand Committee ET/7, Coordinating Committee for Power and

Telecommunications (CCPT), the successor to the Joint Committee fOr the Co-ordination of Power and Telecommunications Systems (CJC), and is one of a Series dealing with technical aspects of coordination which when complete will

GENERAL

Definitions

Throughout this Code the following definitions shall apply:

Aerial

Cable - A single or multicore plastic insulated telecommunications cable suspended between supports (poles).

and

sheathed

Bearer Wire - A wire used as a catenary support for an aerial cable.

Common Use - The use by both parties of a pole of either party in accordance
with this Code.

Common Use Crossing - A crossing involving attachment to a Common Use Pole.

Common User - The party using or who is entitled to use a pole owned by the
other party in accordance with the Code.

Common Use Pole - A pole owned by Telstra or an Electricity Utility which is used, or is entitled to be used, by both parties for attachment of conductors to
effect a crossing.

Covered (Power Conductor) - Does not provide insulation characteristics is. does not afford 250 V (r.m.s.) grade insulation in accordance with the current Electricity Supply Association of Australia's Code of Practice for Overhead Line
Construction - Service Lines.

Covered (Telecommunication Conductors Or Bearer Wires) - Covered in accordance with the current Telstra Specifications but not regarded as affording 250 V (r.m.s.) grade insulation.
Crossing - The crossing between a power. conductor and a telecommunication conductor or bearer wire, that is, the vertical projection of the plant of one party intersects the plant of the other party. The minimum horizontal separation is 10 iii where routes converge without crossing (see Section 2.1.3.) This includes in-span crossing between the overhead lines of an Electricity Utility and those of Telstra, crossings between the stay wires of an Electricity Utility and aerial lines of Telstra or vice versa, and common use crossings where a pole owned by an Electricity Utility or by Telstra is used to provide a common support for the conductors of both
parties as they cross.

Customers Lead - An aerial lead connecting telecommunications line to the

customers premises.

Drop Wire (Telstra) - A two conductor aerial cable with insulated integral bearer
commonly used for customers' leads.
