Design Practice Clearances for conductors that PSE owns and /or operates shall meet the requirements of WAC 468 -34 -290 and NESC 232. Clearances shall be calculated with the conductor temperature and loading conditions that produce the maximum final sag. See Standard 6450.3000, "Overhead Distribution Line Design," for information on conductor design temperature and design tensions. Sec Standard 6550.6200, "Conductor Sag Measurement," for information on how to measure conductor sag. Joint Use Construction New Construction In joint use construction, the lowest communication conductor shall be considered. Its required clearance, plus the required spacing between the communication and power conductors may force the power conductors to have more than the minimum amount of clearance. If the terrain will,be altered under the power line that effect the grade (such as filling, repaving a street, installing sidewalks, or adding landscaping) the clearances required by this standard shall be increased so when the terrain is at final grade, the minimum clearances are met. Clearance Requirements Table l lists the requirements for most situations that will be encountered. In rare cases, the NESC may allow reduced clearances. If the conductor is at an elevation above 3000 feet and it operates at 115 kV or more, additional clearance is required. 01998 Puget Sound Energy Effective on: 06/01/07 Canceling: 06/01/05 Page 1 of 3 I\ Conductor -to- Ground Clearances Table 1 Clearance requirements (all measurements are in feet) * The railroad company may require greater clearance than shown here.

Design Practice Clearances for conductors that PSE owns and /or operates shall meet the requirements of WAC 468 -34 -290 and NESC 232. Clearances shall be calculated with the conductor temperature and loading conditions that produce the maximum final sag. See Standard 640.3000, "Overhead Distribution Line Design," for information on conductor design temperature and design tensions. See Standard 6550.6200. "Conductor Sag Measurement," for information on how to measure conductor sag. Joint Use Construction New Construction In joint use construction, the lowest communication conductor shall be considered. Its required clearance, plus the required spacing between the communication and power conductors may force the power conductors to have more than the minimum amount of clearance. If the terrain will.be altered under the power line that effect the grade (such as filling, repaving a street, installing sidewalks, or adding landscaping) the clearances required by this standard shall be increased so when the terrain is at final grade, the minimum clearances are met. Clearance Requirements Table 1 lists the requirements for most situations that will be encountered. In rare cases, the NESC may allow reduced clearances. If the conductor is at an elevation above 3000 feet and it operates at 115 kV or more, additional clearance is required. ®1998 Puget Sound Energy Effective on: 06/01/07 Canceling: 06/01/05 Page 1 of 3 Conductor -to- Ground Clearances Table 1 Clearance requirements (all measurements are in feet) * The railroad company may require greater clearance than shown here.
