High Voltage Line Problems
High Voltage Line Problems
(OP)
Where is a reference when dealing with High Voltage Lines interferring with buildings in the area? Property where a building is going to be built butts up to high voltage lines. It's an office so computer use is more than likely.

Unfortunately, the electrical noise induced by power lines is not easily enforceable as could see in the FCC Interference Handbook below page 14. Litigation in court also is time consuming and may cost significant amount in legal and other related fees.
A mitigating strategy to reduce the EMF induction is shielding the building or some room(s) with materials in the form of enclosures or barriers. Beware that cost could be significant in some applications.
The information contained in the enclose article could be relevant for you case.

You need to bond the gate to the fence with flexible braid and bond the fences on each side of the gate to each other. Bonding the fence to a ground rod every 40 feet would also be advisable.

Tolind never said anything about electic or magnetic interference. I do not think that we shall encourage unjustified fears of high voltage lines. They seldom, I would say never, can disturb electronic equipment in a building. A very sensitive measuring device that is used in an unscreened (=unsuitable) room can *perhaps* be disturbed, but not computers and communication equipment. A colour screen can sometimes be influenced by the magnetic field, but that problem disappears more and more with the use of LCD and plasma screen.
All tolind said was "interfere with" and that could just as well mean "gets in the way".
The fence thing is just sloppy installation. Should have been bonded and connected to the ground mesh as jghrist and others point out.

It’s a bit difficult to tell what ‘high voltage’ means in this case, but there is an online booklet of informal line-safety information at www.transmission.bpa.gov/NewsEv/pdfs/LivingAndWorking.pdf
