The minimum approach distance to power lines is 20
Electrical Safety feet for less than 350 kV and 50 feet for more than 350
kV. When the cranes maximum working radius falls
Auxiliary
within these distances the following applies:
Outrigger
If “Power Line Clearance Distance” chart is used,
•
apply all requirements of Firmenich Pad
• Have utility de-energize and visibly ground power
lines
• Have utility move power lines to the safe working
• distance
• Have utility install insulated sleeves on power
lines*
Power Line Clearance Distances • Install flagged warning lines to mark horizontal
Voltages Minimum Distance and
vertical power line clearance distances
≤ 50 kV 10 feet (3 m) • Use non-conductive tools and materials
200 kV 15 feet (4.6 m) • Use a Wire Watcher*
• Use an insulated link, if applicable*
350 kV 20 feet (6.1 m)
• Use a boom cage guard, if applicable*
500 kV 25 feet (7.6 m) • Use a proximity device, if applicable*
750 kV 35 feet (10.7 m) • Install rider posts or goal posts under power lines
• Install warning signs at driver’s eye level
1000 kV 45 feet (13.7 m) * These options do not allow the operator to work
closer than the lineclearance distance.
