I am a claims representative and would like to clarify things about the overhead lines for private property. I am currently working on a claim that relates to overhead lines.

Can you kindly let me know what is the national electrical safety codes for an overhead lines above private property where the public travels? A huge truck while entering a chain restaurant from an exit, "clipped" an electrical wire causing damaged to the electrical wire including the pole attached to it. What is the minimum height requirement for a wire to be hanged according to the codes?

This incident happened in Illinois just in case you need to know.

Thank you in anticipation for an early reply.
