Security zone of power lines - what is it?

At various forums they often ask: "What is the security zone of the power transmission line? Will it harm the people living nearby?" There are many different opinions on this score. According to the law, the permissible distance of the building from the power line is 20 meters. But some people still feel unwell. Doctors insist that this is a coincidence, since serious research was conducted to determine the size of the power transmission zone.

Security zone of power transmission lines

The security zone of power lines may include land plots for cottages. You cannot permanently reside on their territory, but you can grow something. As a rule, building construction is prohibited. But if you want to carry out restoration work on an existing building, then you will need to get permission from the company that owns the power line. The document must be in writing. This applies not only to the construction site, but also to any planting of bushes and trees.

Why is such control necessary? It's all about fire safety rules. Suppose you decide to go against everything and planted a tree. As time passed, it grew, and its branches began to touch the wires. In rainy weather it will be a great conductor for electricity. As a result, you will pay for the energy leak. With a strong wind, a tree can break off the poles of power lines, then a zone with a radius of 8 meters will be energized. And anyone can seriously suffer. But you can’t cut down your own landing. To do this, you need to get permission from the garden partnership. But do not be discouraged if the security zone of the power transmission line is included in the territory of your site - you can fully use it.

Power Poles
With the development of technology, the construction of new electricity facilities, more and more are required. Therefore, poles of power lines are being erected more and more often. It is important that their construction is carried out in accordance with all standards and regulations. The construction of power transmission line supports can be assembled using welding and bolted joints. Each support of the power transmission line passes the obligatory control assembly in the factory.
Power line construction

The construction of power lines has several advantages. Structures are lightweight, but can withstand a large load. Metal supports are lighter than wooden and reinforced concrete. They can be installed in cramped conditions. Power transmission towers can be quickly assembled on the highway - all this due to the manufacturability of the assembly and a high degree of factory readiness.

After completion of construction, the security zone of the power transmission line is determined. Its formation and size determination is stipulated in a special resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation. The maximum length of the security zone of power lines is one hundred meters. Such a large distance happens if the poles of power lines pass through water bodies. Depending on the power of the transmission line, the security zone also changes. So if it is more than 750 kV, then the radius of the security zone is 55 meters. If from 500 kV to 750 kV, then 40 meters. With a minimum voltage of 1 kV, the distance of the security zone is only one meter. It is worth remembering that the security zone extends to the airspace. Therefore, think carefully before buying a site in such a place.
