"consumer's wires" means any electric lines which are connected to the service lines of the company at the company's meter terminals;
"overhead line" means any electric line which is placed above ground and in the open air;
"pressure" means the difference of electrical potential between any 2 conductors through which a supply of energy is given, or between any part of either conductor and the earth; and-
(a) where the conditions of the supply are such that the pressure at any pair of consumer's terminals does not exceed 250 volts, the supply shall be deemed a low pressure supply;
(b) where the conditions of the supply are such that the pressure exceeds 250 volts but does not exceed 650 volts, the supply shall be deemed a medium pressure supply;
(c) where the conditions of the supply are such that the pressure exceeds 650 volts but does not exceed 3,000 volts, the supply shall be deemed a high pressure supply; and
(d) where the conditions of the supply are such that the pressure exceeds 3,000 volts, the supply shall be deemed an extra high pressure supply;
"sub-station" means any premises in which energy is transformed or converted for the purpose of supply to consumers, and which are large enough to admit the entrance of a person after the transforming or converting apparatus is in position:
Provided that for the purpose of these regulations any place within any such premises which is used solely for some purpose other than such transformation or conversion shall not be deemed to form part of a sub-station.
(2) Where these regulations require any metallic body to be "efficiently connected with earth", it shall be connected with the general mass of earth in such manner as will ensure at all times an immediate and safe discharge of electrical energy.
