The service facilities for telephone, water, sewerage, gas, etc. shall not be permi ed to be laid within the cable reservations.
The following minimum clearances shall be
observed for respective service lines at crossing points. Such crossings may not be permi ed if the cables rating / integrity
will be aected in any way by the services to
cross the cable reserve.
Service/Utility Vertical clearance (Minimum)
Water & TSE Mains (to crossbelow EHV cable level) 500 mm
Water distribution lines 200 mm above cable protective tile Sewerage Mains (to cross below EHV cable level)=
1000 mm

sir,
In my case the GAIL Gas line is approximately 1000mm below the ground and I am planning to keep power cable 500mm

suggest me any source for this.

As per IS 1255
Clearances The desired minimum clearances are as follows:
Power cable to power cable Clearance not necessary;
however, larger the

due to these factors.

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enactment of Electricity Act 2003, the Indian Electricity Act 1910 stood repealed as per Section 185 of EA 2003.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 supplynotied Regulations were
published on website of CEA. Its date of publish in Gaze e of India is 24th September 2010.

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 diculty in three phase load but get serious voltage various ion between Phase and Neutral in single
Phase Load.
There are lots of Possibility of ge ing 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 eld somebody locally Earthed Neutral (Except TC Neutral Earthing) (Multiple Neutral Earthing).

Dear Sir,
Recently ive 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 sucient distance between house and H. T. Line?
would there be any precaution i should take?
the house is ground+1 oor, can we build 2nd oor 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.

problem is there is cable tray carrying armoured cables which is used for control purpose to the plc panel which is in bo om

my questions is since The 22kv cable running near by cable tray it will eect 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

Can you help me regarding busbar phase to phase clearance for AC panel for solar project (12 In, 1 Out), which is placed outdoor
(We have given IP65 cubical enclosure for outdoor) and also please let me know in which IEC edition busbar clearance is
mentioned with table, or in any British standard or in Indian standard edition, any of these. one of my client is asking for proof
mentioned in electrical standard book.
Now as per our LT panel of 415 Volts, Input busbar phase to phase clearance given is 50mm, Output busbar phase to phase
clearance given is 27mm. Input Busbar used is 20/6mm for 100Amps MCCB, output busbar is 2 runs 60/10mm for 1000 Amps 4-

Dear Sir,
Your blog is very informative. I am Not an electrical engineer.
My Question- In India, in bigger cities In typical apartment building or society (say having 150 Houses) the builder has made
a substation with Step down transformer. So the supply Voltage to HV side of transformer would be 11 or 22 or 33 KV.
In the same place there are single houses and bungalows. The distribution company of the state is providing a 230 Volt supply
for them.
My Question Why cannot those 150 houses be provided a 230 Volt supply each directly by the Maharashtra State Electricity
Board?
My question is when a 230 Volt line is already in place, then why bigger society is required to make their own substation.
After Installation and commissioning, whom does Substation belong to Electricity board or Society/Builder?

Thank you for your kindly such as Technical grand brother in Engineering for all response you shared with us. My question is

Dear Mr.Jignesh,Could you please explain a case study- My building is having a horizontal distance less than 1.2 metre from a
concret electric pole which is not having any iron angle and the the low voltage wire has been wined through the white insulator
which is directly on the pole.
As a remedy can i put an Iron angle projected towards the street and shift the low voltage wire in order to increase the horizontal
clearance from my building.
