we are installing a sign structure below a 13KV lines, the air terminals on the sign structure are going to a ground array (5 ohms or less). My question is, what is the required distance between the tip of air terminal and the 13KV power lines.

Why do you need air terminals if you are below the lines? It seems that the lines would provide lightning protection for your sign.

Not sure what the minimum installed distance, but the OSHA rules prohibits you or your equipment from being within 10' of the line when you are making the installation.
