Permissible Minimum Distance Between Adjacent 132 KV Double Ckt. Transmission

02/02/2013 1:51 AM

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.

Its safety that matters . Please check the link below http://electricalnotes.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/minimum-electrical-clearance-2/

Hello folks,

132 kV Ground-fault voltage is 83/84 kV

Safety distance for a man is ground fault distance + man-security (90 cm) = 84+90 = 174 cm

You say 250cm between last conductor and ground (corner column...and so on)

You have enough distance. If you want to secure more your men, erect a wire netting with steel poles at a width of 1 meter between each pole and connect them to the ground (each one of them) Use welding instead of bonding between netting and poles.

Erect up to 174 cm of the line in covering all the site, relied firmly to ground circuit.

People will be obliged to work under the covering net of steel wires and be protected, including in case of lightning. Ground covering must overshoot all electrical parts of 174 cm. in order to execute the covering efficiently, the O/H lines must be tripped during its erection (2 to 3 hours only) in order to avoid frightening from the erection men and grounding sticks must rely all OHL conductors to the ground circuit, in order to avoid further mistakes with energy running.

I hope to have not forgotten something!

So, you don't have standards for electrical installations?

So,you do not want to give a thought to find a solution. it is easy to make such replies in the forum. Anyway,thanks for the response.

...so while it is possible for the building itself to be this close, there is no scope for the people building it to survive without being vaporised at those distances.

Something, somewhere, has to change.

One wonders how the local Planning Authority has sanctioned the creation of a building at such a small distance from an overhead line. How ridiculous!

NESC-C2/2007

Table 234C b: Horizontal clearances under wind displacement conditions

Open supply conductors, over 750 V to 22 kV=1.4 m

Rule 234G:

Additional clearances for voltages exceeding 22 kV for wires, conductors, cables, and unguarded

rigid live parts of equipment

Greater clearances than specified in Rules 234B, 234C, 234D, 234E, 234F, and 234J shall be provided where required as follows:[132/sqrt(3)=76.2 KV to Ground] 10 mm for each 1 KV :

(76.2-22)*10=542 mm Total: =1.4+0.542=1.942 m.

Rule 234H: If you know the switching-surge factor, you may reduce this distance.
