Meganathan.A
R u Electrical engineer !!!
y upper & lower lips have some gap for eating
ph to ph clearance to aviod short circuit of phase to phase
For obvious reasons.
But there are indicated minimun values.
The real minimun I believe should be checked against line reactance and other parameters, as there may be for example loses due to these factors.
(btw: i am not electrical, i am civil. Sorry for my comments, may be unaccurate or wrong)
Hi Friends , Need ur advice ……..
What should be the minimum vertical clearance between 11 KV HT ABC(3*35+75 sq mm) and 415 LT ABC(2*16+25 sq mm) . Both the cables are crossing at one point ( Used for overhead distribution system)
Thanx in advance
Waiting for response
Manoj Arora
As Per IE Rules:
Low/Medium Crossing to 11KV to 66KV= 3.05 Meter
But i think it is for bare conductor , i need to know about cable (Both are cable)
waiting for advice
Power cable to power cable Clearance not necessary;
however, larger the clearance current carrying capacity would be better
didnt get you sir .
just wanted to know about this particular case:
11 KV HT ABC used for 10KVA Distribution Transformer , Further 415 V LT ABC for laying LT Lines

Dear Jignesh please correct the reference of Indian Electricity Rules as IE Rules 1956 instead of 57. Besides Central Electricity Authority Regulations Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply 2010 have replaced IE Rules. Refer Govt of India Notification dated 24 September 2010.
Thanks for highlighting Typing ERROR.
I had also mentioned IE Rules have been replaced with the regulations as, safety measures for Generation Transmission Distribution and Use of Electrical Power have so far been regulated by Indian Electricity Rules 1956 and as amended time to time. These Rules were made as per the Section 37 of Indian Electricity Act 1910 by Central Electricity Board. After enactment of Electricity Act 2003, the Indian Electricity Act 1910 stood repealed as per Section 185 of EA 2003. However the savings from the same section clause (2) (c) states that:
“the Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 made under section 37 of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 (9 of 1910) as it stood before repeal shall continue to be in force till the regulation under section 53 of this Act are made”
As per the powers conferred to Central Electricity Authority (CEA), by section 177 clause (2) (b) read with section 53 of Electricity Act 2003, stating to provide ‘suitable measures relating to safety and electric supply’notified Regulations were published on website of CEA. Its date of publish in Gazette of India is 24th September 2010.
Dear Completely Agree with You. But Still Lots of Engineer confused between IE Act and IE Rule and it’s revision (Further Grid Code,supply code,GERC for gujarat).I have also faced a problem in one Interview in Power distribution company. I could not succeed to explain interviewer about IE Rule and IE Act. Interviewer himself was confused between IE Rules and IE act.By the way thanks for explained it deeply.
for clearance between underground electrical cable and other utility service like gas, water, sewage pipe lines is there any reference in IEC or IEEE
please send me notes regarding testing,commisioning,operation & maintenance of electrical equipments for132 kv s/s
Dear Jignesh
Could you please tell me the minimum clearance of 400 KV line from building, so that the electronics equipements like communication panels, SCADA panels etc. will not be effected from electomagnetic induction.

i found voltage between R-phase to neutral was 300V , between Y-phase to neutral was 315V and between B-phase to neutral was 50V, and between earth to neutral was 175V. Neatral was not disconnted. what was reason of high voltage between neutral to earth.
You will not get any difficulty in three phase load but get serious voltage various ion between Phase and Neutral in single Phase Load.
There are lots of Possibility of getting Voltage between Earth & Neutral.
(1) Neural Broken.
(2) Dry Neural Earthing Pit.
(3) Loose Earthing Pit Connection to Transformer Neural.
(4) In distribution There may be interchange between Earthing and Neutral.
(5) In Distribution field somebody locally Earthed Neutral (Except TC Neutral Earthing) (Multiple Neutral Earthing).
For more reference read “Neutral Floating” Post of this Blog..

Hi Jignesh
The minimum clearance laid down in the CEA regulations, 2010 does apply on industrial Units also? if no then what are the limits and where do i find this?
Thanks in advance
Hi ……. Can any one explain the basis from which electrical clearances are derived…… i guess they have been derived from dielectric strengths of air….can any one elaborate this pls???
Yes definitely It depends on dielectric strength of Air..
Sir,
For high voltage testing of SF6 GCB the clearances of 150kV/meter is sufficent or not??? Please mention both clearances i.e. vertical & horizontal.
Dear Sir,
Recently i’ve bought a duplex in baroda and after i bought it, i get to know that my duplex is near to this Hyper Tension wire line. after discussion with the builder i found that he has left 12.30ft space between the house and the H. T. Line.
I would like to know
whether it would be sufficient distance between house and H. T. Line?
would there be any precaution i should take?
the house is ground+1 floor, can we build 2nd floor if we want to in future?
can there be any health issues if we leave close by H. T. Line with the distance of 12.30ft?
I do hope that you would be kind enough to enlighten me with your knowledge and experience.
Thanks

can u tell me shall our company lay the pipeline below 110 kv line?or how much we hv to maintained ?
Please guide me with , the minimum horizontal clearance between the conductor & the building incase of 220KV & 132KV transmission lines. Also do we have to keep some additional clearance for conductor swing due to wind etc.
hello sir,
In my case, 400KV line has been erected by PGCIL without prior notice and no compensation given to us. Is this possible or any electricity act is there to erect without giving compensation. It is huge loss to us because 1.5 hectares land is laid with 400KV line. Please suggest what i can do? can i get compensation? no trees.

Hi Mr. Jignesh, is there any separation criteria between 33kV & 220kV underground burried cable recommended by code ??
Dear sir,
i need indoor clearances PHASE TO PHASE AND PHASE TO EARTH FOR 11KV,22KV,33KV as per IEC STANDARD.
thank you so much.GOD bless you,please may i know the minimum and maximum distance between two tower overhead lines 33 kV.or standard distance tower to tower ?conductor size 366.2 Sq.mm
Dear Sir,
Is the above given busbar clearance between phases is same for CU & AL or what.?
minimum clearance to be maintained between 33kv line crossing 11KV line
Dear Sir,
One of our project we have erected 22kv switchgear for substation and we have used armoured cable that is bottom entry for the switch gear we have removed the outer sheath of the armoured cable for a 0.5meter and connected to the switchgear bus bar.the problem is there is cable tray carrying armoured cables which is used for control purpose to the plc panel which is in bottom trench the distance between the cable tray and 22kv cable is 200mm.
my questions is since The 22kv cable running near by cable tray it will effect the control cable signals in the cable tray.
if yes what should be the distance between the cable tray and 22kv cable as per IEC std
and also send me calculation for this.
Looking forward for your response
very useful
