Distance between Extra high voltage transmission lines and residential buildings

MAS
Hi all,


I have a querry regarding the Extra high voltage transmission lines (EHV AC)


I would like to know the international standards for maintaining a safe distance from overhead transmission lines of 132 KV & 400 KV passing by residential plots where the cluster of residential high rise/super high rise towers are planned to be executed.


Appreciate advices from experts


Thanks & Regards

    I suspect that the answer is that the two are not mixed. Self-evidently, one cannot build a tower block under an ETL. Locally, there is a retail park (Asda, Screwfix, electrical and plumbers' merchants, etc.) with buildings directly below and pylons in various car parks. Further on, there are ordinary two storey houses under the lines.


    However, I do not think that I have ever seen pylons in a city such as London.


    Modern practice seems to be to put the ETLs underground.
