1. The shield wire system providing lightning protection for transmission lines (69 kV phase-to-phase and greater) shall be connected to a made or existing grounding electrode at every transmission pole or structure for each shield wire.
(a) If the transmission line has any under-built distribution attached to the same pole or structure, the shield wire system shall be bonded to the grounding conductor of the distribution neutral at each pole or structure.
(b) The under-built distribution neutral may be connected to its own made or existing ground electrode at each pole or structure.
PSC 114.099 NoteException: Shield wires that are segmented and isolated from ground at a particular pole or structure need not follow this rule.
2. The shield wire of the transmission system shall not be used as the distribution neutral conductor in lieu of the installed distribution neutral conductor.
