ELECTRICITY SAFETY (INSTALLATIONS) REGULATIONS 2009 (SR NO 164 OF 2009) - REG 227

An aerial line carrying alternating current at a voltage set out in Column 1 of Table 227 must not, at any time, be closer to a part of a small gauge tram system specified in Row A in Column 2, 3 or 4 of the Table than the relevant minimum distance specified for that part in Column 2, 3 or 4 of that Table opposite the corresponding voltage.
