Re: street light

I believe this is something that is covered in the National Electrical Safety Code, which is not really the scope of this forum. There are some here that are familiar with that code.

The distance is going to vary greatly with every possible condition like voltage of the overhead lines, type and class of the high tension wires, etc... Im sure more detail will have to be known. :)

Re: street light

Charlie one of our moderators will know the answer, but you'll need to give more information:
Overhead or underground.
Voltage of each circuit
Is this a NESC or NEC application, or both?

Re: street light

If this is covered by the NESC, the loading on the wires and span length is also needed as well as the temperature when the measurments are taken.

I advise you to talk to the electric utility that is involved for direction. :D

Re: street light

Street lights are usually installed thru an agreement between the city and the utility. City requests a light a location X and utility responds or is your question regarding the clearence between the light and the energized conductor?
