Three Nos. 132 KV Double Ckt. O/H Transmission lines are emanating from one of the main receiving sub stations in an integrated steel plant in India .The minimum distance between the centre lines of adjacent transmission lines at present is 30 M.
Under the modernisation & expansion project of the plant, a tall building is coming close to the extreme O/H line ie. the horizontal distance between the bottom most conductor of the said line and the corner column of the building is hardly 2500 mm.
In order to facilitate the construction of the building,can the O/H line tower be shifted towards the middle O/H line ? If yes,then by how much distance ? If no, then what are the other options to allow the expansion work while ensuring the services of the extreme O/H line?
Please note that neither the building can be located elsewhere nor it's size can be reduced owing to technological reasons.Also the O/H lines can not be done away with.
Hope experts of this forum will help in finding a practicable solution.
