comply also with NESC (NATIONAL ELECTRIC SAFETY CODE). Approximately 0.5m shall
be added to the clearance values above to allow for survey and drawings errors and longterm creep. Crossing of houses, huts and other objects with soft roofing is not allowed.
(1) Minimum clearance from live conductor to the nearest part of tower body for suspension
tower;
(a) for still air condition and upto 20 degrees swing of insulator strings 1500 mm
