Safe distance from high-voltage distribution box guardrail

Home / Safe distance from high-voltage distribution box guardrail

The National Electric Safety Code (NESC) provides guidelines that indicate minimum clearance distances. For instance, for voltages up to 50 kV, a minimum distance of 10 feet is often recommended. High-voltage transmission lines are necessary for delivering electricity over long distances – from generating plants to distribution substations. Certain conditions, such as power flow, wind speed and air temperature can cause conductors.

Overhead power lines

The safe clearance distance should be ascertained from the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). HSE guidance documents Avoidance of danger from overhead electric power lines and Electricity at Work:
