The following clearances are guidelines only.  These are meant to compliment Rule 35.

 

RECOMMENDED CLEARANCES

 

The radial clearances shown below are only a guide for minimum clearances that should be established, when trimming, between the vegetation and the energized conductors and associated live parts whenever practicable.

 

A

Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 2,400 or more volts, but less than 72,000 volt

4 feet

B

Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 72,000 or more volts, but less than 110,000 volts

6 feet

C

Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 110,000 or more volts but less than 300,000 volts

10 feet

D

Radial clearance for any conductor of a line operating at 300,000 or more volts

15 feet

The following clearances are guidelines only.  These are meant to compliment Rule 35.

 

RECOMMENDED CLEARANCES

 

The radial clearances shown below are only a guide for minimum clearances that should be established, at time of trimming, between the vegetation and the energized conductors and associated live parts where practicable. Reasonable vegetation management practices may make it advantageous to obtain greater clearances than those listed below:

 

 

Voltage of Lines

Case 13 of Table 1

Case 14 of Table 1

A

Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 2,400 or more volts, but less than 72,000 volt

4 feet

6.5 feet

B

Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 72,000 or more volts, but less than 110,000 volts

6 feet

10 feet

C

Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 110,000 or more volts but less than 300,000 volts

10 feet

20 feet

D

Radial clearance for any conductor of a line operating at 300,000 or more volts

15 feet

20 feet
