Ligh Pole Clearance
Ligh Pole Clearance
(OP)
Can someone advise on what is the legal clearance between a light pole that runs underneath the 88kV high voltage line. I need to provide some lighting under the high voltage line.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

So unless you are the utility, would be best to start with them to see what they will allow.
If you are the utility, check with the transmission group and/or consult the NESC.

That being said, unless we own the lights or can otherwise guarantee that a qualified person will do the maintenance on them, we require that they have at least the OSHA clearance of 10ft + xft/kV over 50 kV. Doesn't hurt to throw in a bit more in case the worker is above the level of the light.
