An overhead service has been installed on an existing house. The original service is UG but due to the distance between buildings, the new service would cost too much to install UG again. The new service runs up the building providing all the horizontal clearance required by 230.9 (B) which is 3 feet from the opening. The problemis that when the utility connect to the point of connection, they will pass under the window opening area by approximately 3 feet vertical with a distance away from the opening of approximately 2 feet at the closest point. Since this opening is not intended to pass thing through it, is this an acceptable installation. Is there something about fire ladders that needs to be considered?
