203 Measurement of vertical and horizontal distances
For this division—
the vertical distance of a conductor from the ground is the length of a vertical line between the conductor and the ground; and
the vertical distance of a conductor from a structure that is immediately below the conductor is the length of a vertical line between the conductor and the point on the structure immediately below the conductor; and
the vertical distance of a conductor from a structure that is not immediately below the conductor is the length of a vertical line between the conductor and the horizontal projection of the nearest point on the structure to the conductor; and
the horizontal distance of a conductor from a structure is the length of a horizontal line from the conductor to the nearest point on the structure; and
the horizontal distance of a conductor from a verandah, balcony, road cutting, embankment or other similar thing is the length of a horizontal line from the conductor to the vertical projection of the nearest point on the verandah, balcony, road cutting, embankment or other similar thing; and
the horizontal distance of a conductor from a structure that is not immediately below the conductor is the length of a horizontal line from the conductor to the vertical projection of the nearest point on the structure.
