§ 35.24.1.2. Definitions.

All technical industry words and phrases related to electric transmission lines not specifically defined shall have the meanings customarily attributable thereto by prudent operators in the electric industry. For the purposes of this Subchapter, the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.

Electric Distribution Line: Any electric line or part of the power system which distributes electric power at less than 60kV when measured phase to phase, and is utilized to deliver and serve electric power to local utility customers. Electric Distribution Lines include both overhead and underground facilities and circuits that operate at our primary rated distribution voltage level of 13.2kV/7.62 kV Grounded Wye. The distribution system includes that part of the distribution line transformers and all other necessary equipment to step the primary voltage down to a lower secondary voltage level to meet service requirements.

Electric Substation: A structure that is part of an electric generation, transmission, and distribution system which either:

1.

Converts electric energy to a lesser voltage for the purpose of subregional or localized distribution;

2.

Functions as a transition point from overhead to underground electric transmission lines; or

3.

Acts as the point of convergence for two (2) or more transmission lines.

Electric Switch Station: A substation without transformers and operating only at a single voltage level.

Transmission Line: Any electrical line operating at a nominal line-to-line voltage equal to or greater than sixty thousand (60,000) volts.
