What is the maximum height allowed for the point of attachment for a consumer's service conductors?

The maximum height allowed for the point of attachment for a consumer's service conductors is specified as 9 meters in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). This height requirement is set to ensure safe access for line workers and to minimize the risk of electrical hazards.

When service conductors are installed at a proper height, they can safely clear obstacles and minimize the risk of contact with vehicles, pedestrians, and other potential hazards that could lead to dangerous situations. Maintaining this standard height helps protect the integrity of the electrical service and ensures safety for both the general public and utility personnel.

Other options exceed the maximum height stipulated by electrical codes intended to ensure safety for electrical installations. Each of those heights would increase the risk of accidents and maintenance challenges, which the regulatory framework seeks to avoid through these established standards. Therefore, 9 meters is the maximum height consistently supported by regulations for the point of attachment for consumer service conductors.
