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

    Satview on Chris's picture makes it more like 15m but I agree its pretty close - closer than I would expect actually. It would be interesting to know the voltage, it may be possible to light a hand held florry tube standing in the childrens playground.


    also makes you wonder they did  the grounding of the 11kV (?) subs in the plastic box in the cul de-sac of Rockswell close with 'Curly' spray painted on it.


    Mind you not all pylons / towers near houses actually are EHV.
    this and this  are opposite ends of the same span - the really small (all things relative...) insulators tell us it is not as EHV as we think, just made up extra tall to get up and over the housing estate. They do not buzz like the higher voltage cousins.

    Mind you , I have no idea how common that sort of trick is.

    Mike.
