Electrical connectors and apparatus for the public distribution of electricity
§ 1
Electrical connections and demand facilities
(1) An electrical connection means an electrical line which diverts from a public distribution facility towards a customer and serves or is intended to connect the demand facility.
(2) The electricity connection begins towards the customer by diverging from the public electricity distribution facility. Diverting means turning away from the connections in the station, if the connection leaves the station, otherwise turning away from the external or cable lines.
(3) The low-voltage electrical connection ends with the main housing box on the outside line, with the main cable cable housing; If the main house fuse box is not set up in the customer's building, the outdoor low voltage connection ends with the last supporting point (roof, console, mast, etc.) located on the customer's building.
(4) The electrical connection of high and very high voltage ends with the external line with the insulators at the customer's station, with the cable cable end at the customer's station.
(5) Electrical equipment which is connected to an electrical connection and serves or is intended to be used for the collection of electricity shall be considered as a collection of electrical equipment.
§ 2
Setting up of electrical connections and facilities for the public distribution of electricity
(1) Low voltage electrical connections are set up by energy undertakings; with the consent of the energy undertaking and under the conditions laid down therein, they may exceptionally establish or extend such connections to their cargo by other organisations or persons.
(2) Electrical connections of high and very high voltage shall be set up or extended, under conditions laid down by the energy undertaking, to their cargo by the owners of the buildings or installations to be connected to the public distribution of electricity, by their investors, in the case of newly built buildings or installations. The single agricultural cooperatives shall establish these connections, including transformation stations, for the supply of common agricultural production objects to their load only in cases where the conditions for large-scale electricity consumption of the cooperative are met.
(3) Provisional electrical connections of any voltage shall be established or extended, under conditions laid down by the energy undertaking, to customers whose demand facilities are to be connected to the power distribution facility.
(4) Electricity distribution facilities (§ 2 (1) (b) of the Electricity Act) are set up by energy undertakings. However, in the case of concentrated housing and civil construction, the necessary facilities for the public distribution of electricity and electricity shall be established after consultation of the energy undertaking and under the conditions laid down by the general investors of such construction.
§ 3
(1) If an electricity connection or a facility for the public distribution of electricity is established in accordance with the provisions of § 2 after the date of application of the Electricity Act by someone other than an energy undertaking, it shall be obliged, after the authorisation for its permanent operation (use) has been granted, to submit it to the operation of the energy undertaking on whose electricity distribution facility the work is connected; the energy undertaking shall take over those facilities on the date of their connection.
(2) The organisation of the state socialist sector shall at the same time transfer free of charge the energy works referred to in the preceding paragraph to the management of energy undertakings under the rules on the management of national assets.
(3) Other organisations and persons may transfer the works referred to in paragraph 1 to the State free of charge by contract with an energy undertaking; the decision of the Executive Authority of the National Committee is not required for such a free transfer. The day the State takes ownership, the work is transferred to the administration of the energy enterprise. Works which are not thus transferred to the management of an energy undertaking will be operated by that undertaking on the expense of its owner.
(4) The provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall not apply to provisional connections.
§ 4
By setting up or expanding energy works or other equipment, the Act of Electricity and this Regulation means the activity of an investor (builder) of a work. The operation of such works or equipment shall mean, in addition to the activity related to their own operation, the obligation to take care of their maintenance and all repairs.

Protection zones
§ 5
A protective band is a space in the immediate vicinity of an energy work designed to ensure the smooth operation of the work and to ensure the safety of persons and property.
§ 6
(1) The electrical line protection zone is defined by vertical planes on both sides of the line at a horizontal distance measured perpendicular to the line, which is:
(a) for outdoor lines very high voltage from the external conductor to each side:
15 metres if the line is at a voltage between 60 kV and 110 kV inclusive,
20 metres, with a power supply of more than 110 kV up to and including 220 kV,
twenty-five metres if the line exceeds 220 kV to 380 kV inclusive;
(b) for external lines of high voltage from the external conductor to each side, seven metres;
(c) for cable lines of all types of voltage (including control, signal and communication lines) from the external cable to each side one metre.
Where safe and smooth line operation or technical and economic efficiency so requires, the boundaries of the protection zone may be determined on a case-by-case basis from external wires (cables) on both sides inequally, provided that the overall width of the protection zone is not exceeded.
(2) The station protection zone is defined by vertical planes at a horizontal distance of 30 m perpendicular to the fenced or enclosed border of the station object.
(3) The low-voltage outdoor line is not protected by protective bands; the protection of their smooth operation and safety of persons and property is governed by state technical standards.
§ 7
Owners (users) of real estate in the protection zone are required to maintain them in a state which would not endanger the energy work and the continuity and safety of its operation; they are also obliged to refrain from anything that could cause such a threat. In the forest sections, they are required to maintain a free strip of land, i.e. without forests, of a width of 4 m along one side of the base support points (mast) to ensure access and arrival to the management.
§ 8
Protection of outdoor lines
(1) The following shall be prohibited in the protection zones of outdoor lines of high and very high voltage:
(a) to establish building or rebuilding buildings and structures or to place other similar equipment (e.g. mast, towers, antennas, cranes, scaffolding), as well as to store slightly flammable or explosive substances (e.g. fuel, hay, straw, reeds);
(b) to plant hop trees and leave trees or bushes (hereinafter referred to as "crops") to grow above the level laid down in paragraph 2;
(c) carry out other activities which could endanger the external line and the fluidity and safety of its operation or in which the safety of life or property could be compromised (e.g. earth ditches, which would undermine the stability of supporting points, the design of objects or earths and other material up to dangerous levels, the shooting and working with flammable substances and explosives, spraying and spraying, body building, sports and other games and exercises, the passage of vehicles and equipment dangerously high).
(2) It is permitted to grow crops up to a height of three metres outside the free strip of the land (without trees) in the forest passages; in the part of the protection zone at least five metres perpendicular to the vertical plane of the outer wire, it is permitted to grow crops up to such a level that they cannot touch the conductors during the fall. However, in no case shall the branches and peaks of individual trees or shrubs in the protection zone be drawn closer to the lead conductors even in double-sided deflection over a distance less than those laid down in national technical standards.
§ 9
Protection of cable lines
The following shall be prohibited in the protection zones of cable lines:
(a) to establish structures, to place other similar facilities or landfills and to carry out other activities which would make access to or significantly impede access to cable lines or which could jeopardise cable lines and the continuity and safety of their operation (for example, by leaking them coronously on cables);
(b) carry out, without the consent of the operator, land-work management which could endanger the cable line and the continuity and safety of its operation (e.g. excavation, clearance or earth design, probes).
§ 10
Station protection
No activities are allowed in station protection zones which could jeopardise the station and the continuity and safety of its operation (e.g. working with flammable substances and explosives, storage of such substances).
§ 11
Protection of production plants
The Ministry of Energy may, where necessary, establish, in agreement with the participating central authorities and authorities, the scope of the protection zones also for power plants, in particular for nuclear power stations, the mandatory adaptation of those zones, as well as the types of activities which are restricted or prohibited in or near them.
§ 12
Restrictions close to protection zones
(1) In the vicinity of external line protection zones, it is not permitted to carry out or store work on flammable materials and explosives, to spray near conductors, as well as to leave trees which, due to their stability and height, could endanger the line during the fall.
(2) It is not permitted to establish structures, installations or landfills close to the protection zones of cable lines which would endanger cable lines and their smooth and safe operation by overheating the soil or leaking.
(3) Organisations which establish or operate in the vicinity of cable lines protection zones, transport, industrial or other devices powered by direct current, are required to modify and operate their devices (e.g. rail connections, reverse cable network) so as to avoid damage to cable lines by stray currents.
(4) The activities referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, if they are to be carried out at a distance from the protection zone in which the management or its smooth and safe operation could be compromised, need to be discussed in advance with the energy undertaking, at the same time as to agree with it on the distance from the management and under which conditions such activity may be carried out.
§ 13
Adjustments made in contravention of the prohibitions and restrictions provided for in Sections 8 to 12 in the protection zone or in the vicinity of the protection zone after it has been established shall be removed from the cargo by the person who carried them out or had them carried out.
§ 14
(1) For energy works which were set up before the date of the entry into force of the Electricity Act, the authority responsible for authorising the construction of an energy works on the basis of a proposal from an energy undertaking may decide that the construction and other equipment not belonging to the operation of the energy works, provided that they have been established in the area of the protection zone of the line before the date of application of the Electricity Act, are obliged to remove or, to the extent necessary, modify the construction and other equipment not belonging to the operation of the energy works if it has been established in the area of the protection zone before the date of application of the Electricity Act, its owners are obliged to dispose of the energy undertaking, or to the extent necessary, if this requires smooth and safe operation of the management.
(2) The property damage resulting from the removal or modification of the construction or installation referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be the property which is not owned by the State by the owner, which shall be provided by the energy undertaking in accordance with the principles applicable to the expropriation. If no refund agreement is reached, it shall be decided by the authority responsible for authorising the construction of the energy works and its size.
(3) The energy undertaking shall not be obliged to bear the costs of removing or adjusting the construction or installation referred to in paragraph 1 or to compensate the owner for the property damage referred to in paragraph 2 if the construction or installation has been built in the area of the protection zone without a prescribed building permit, following compliance with the conditions laid down in the building permit to protect the continuity and safety of the operation of the line or the protection of the construction against the harmful effects of such operation.
§ 15
(1) Where a construction or installation in the protection zone which, in the cases referred to in Paragraph 14 (1), endangers or threatens the management (hereinafter referred to as "the threatening object '), an object of general use, an object or an establishment of importance for the implementation of a national economic development plan or a protected cultural monument, such an object or installation may only be removed if the interest in protecting the management and continuity and the safety of its operation exceeds the interest in protecting such a threatening object.
(2) In such cases, the energy undertaking is obliged to agree on measures to protect the management or the establishment and to operate smoothly and safely with the organisation which manages the threatening object, in the case of a government body to which the interests to which it serves belong.
§ 16
Paragraph 14 and 15 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the non-public electricity distribution facilities referred to in Paragraph 32 (2) of the Electricity Act which was established before the date of application of the Electricity Act.
§ 17
(1) The Ministry of Energy may, in agreement with the participating central authorities and authorities, lay down details of certain prohibitions or restrictions in or near the protection zones, providing, where appropriate, for relief from the provisions on protection zones.
(2) Exemptions from the provisions on protection zones may, on a case-by-case basis, be authorised by the authority which is competent under the rules on the authorisation of buildings for the authorisation of the construction of an energy works; lay down appropriate conditions.
