Connexion of circuits with earth.
37. Where the pressure of a supply between the adjacent conductors of a three-wire system of mains exceeds 125 volts the intermediate conductor shall be connected with earth in accordance with the following conditions—
(a) the connexion with earth of the intermediate conductor shall be made at one point only on each distinct circuit, namely at the generating station, sub-station or transformer, and the insulation of the circuit shall be efficiently maintained at all other parts;
(b) the current from the intermediate conductor to earth shall be continuously recorded and if it at any time becomes excessive steps shall be immediately taken to improve the insulation of the system.
