(g) Power line crossings

Where this line is to cross over another line of the same voltage or lower voltage, R / A

type tower with suitable extensions shall be used. Provisions to prevent the possibility of

its coming into contact with other overhead lines shall be made in accordance with the

Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 / Indian Electricity Act, 2003 as amended upto date. In order

to reduce the height of the crossings towers it may be advantageous to remove the ground-

wire of the line to be crossed (if this is possible and permitted by the owner of the line

to be crossed).

Minimum clearance in meters between lines when crossing each other:

Sr. No. Nominal system voltage 66 KV &132 KV 220 KV 400 KV

For power line crossings of voltage level of 132 KV and above, an angle towers shall be

provided on either side of tangent R /A type tower which can be temporary dead end condition

with proper guying.

(h) Telecommunication Line Crossings

The angle of crossing shall be as near to 90 degree possible. However, deviation to the

extent of 30 degree may be permitted under exceptionally difficult situations. For 220KV –

When the angle of crossing has to be below 60 degree, the matter will be referred to the

authority incharge of the telecommunication system. On a request from the contractor, the

permission of the telecommunication authority may be obtained by the owner.

Also, in the crossing span, power line support will be as near the telecommunication line as

possible, to obtain increased vertical clearance between the wires.
