building. This may be achieved by using insulated high
voltage cable.
Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in
conduit of insulating material or else insulated high voltage
cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to
the connecting leads due to the effects of animal hooves or
vehicle wheels sinking into the ground.
Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit
as the mains supply wiring, communication cables or data
cables.
Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not
cross above overhead power or communication lines.
Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided
wherever possible. If such a crossing cannot be avoided it
shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as
possible at right angles to it.
If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are
installed near an overhead power line, the clearances shall
not be less than those shown in the table below.
