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

                     Height of Line Conductors:


    Not exceeding 33,000 volts  5.2 metres


    Exceeding 33,000 volts, not exceeding 66,000 volts, 6 metres.


    Exceeding 66,000 volts, not exceeding 132,000 volts, 6.7 metres.


    Exceeding 132,000 volts, not exceeding 275,000 volts, 7 metres.


    Exceeding 275,000 volts, 7.3 metres.


    For those interested, UK Power Networks takes energy from National grid at 400kv at a Grid supply point (a substation) and steps it down to 132kv for distribution locally.


    Regards, UKPN


    In addition to the heights of the line conductors I also want to know the minimum distance that has to be maintained  from the base of pylon/tower to any nearest residential plot limit of the development in which the developer wants to build residential towers.
