NS285: Pillar type and site selection
Scope
This Network Standard sets the minimum requirements for the type and physical location of new low voltage pillars on Ausgrid’s underground distribution network, and for the relocation of existing low voltage pillars where affected by new developments.
This Standard does not apply to the Sydney CBD area, and to some locations in the Newcastle CBD area, due to the configuration of the low voltage network (refer to NS224).
This Standard does not address the assembly of the pillar (refer to NS127 and NS224) or the electrical loading or configuration (refer to NS110 and NS112).
