As per IE regulations when service lines are installed elsewhere other than along or across any street, the conductor of line at any part shall have a height not less than a specified value. What is the value for 11 kV lines
As per IE regulations when service lines are installed elsewhere other than along or across any street, the conductor of line at any part shall have a height not less than a specified value. What is the value for 11 kV lines Correct Answer 4.572 m
Concept:
Central Government Act Section 77(3) in The Indian Electricity Rules, 1956
Extra-high voltage lines 3.0 meters. In any case of a crossing referred to in sub-rule, whoever lays his line later in time, shall provide the clearance between his own line and the line which will be crossed in accordance with the provisions of said sub-rule: Provided that if the later entrant is the owner of the lower line and is not able to provide adequate clearance, he should bear the cost for modification of the upper line so as to comply with this rule.
As per IE regulations when service lines are installed elsewhere other than along or across any street, the conductor of the line at any part shall have a height not less than a specified value. The value for 11 kV lines is 4.572 m.
| The voltage level in kV | Ground clearances in meter |
| Low/ medium/ HT Line up to 11kV, if bare conductor | 4.6 |
| Low/ medium/ HT Line up to 11kV, if insulated conductor | 4.0 |
| Above 11 kV line | 5.2 |
| Above 33 kV line | 5.8 |
