is it permissable to run a curcuit overhead from a residental home to a garage?
Should also look at Article 396 which tells us, Yes if it's a factory assembly.
George, why only a factory assembly 396.2(2)?
so the way i read the code is it is allowed if i use triplex and maintain my clearances.
Kinda a suggestion that if he is using a cable method to look in each Article called out in T. 396.10(A) but if it's single strands of wire as identified in T. 310.3 or T. 310.6 he would not be able to comply with the (B) part of 396.10 and not be able to use it in residential. And, Yes tom triplex probably would be the best approach. IMHO
thank's for the info guys
Why not UF cable on a messenger?
so the way i read the code is it is allowed if i use triplex and maintain my clearances.
If the circuit is 120/240 and there is any chance of a present or future metallic connection between the two buildings you will want to use quadplex.

In My Unhumble Opinion (IMUhO) UF on a messenger makes one ugly installation.

Just as my 2 cents. Even if the job is ugly, does it meet the code? If Yes, then the AHJ must pass the job. A piece of UF attached to a guy wire will meet the code. Is it pretty? Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The AHJ should pass the job because it meets the NEC.
