What is the safe distance between Class C warehouses of chemical logistics companies and overhead power lines? There is a Class C warehouse within an existing chemical logistics company; what is the minimum safe distance required from it to the 110kv overhead power lines of ** Bank? The building codes do not specify any requirements; the petrochemical regulations require a distance of 1.5 times that amount, and the same applies to the storage areas within chemical manufacturing plants, where the required distance is also 1.5 times. The question is: which set of regulations should be applied to chemical logistics companies?
You can consult local regulatory authorities and experts
You can take a look at Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings, 10.2.1: There are no distance requirements imposed by overhead power lines on Class C warehouses!
Article 10 of the Regulations on the Protection of Electric Power Facilities: Electric power line protection zones:
(a) For overhead electric power lines, it refers to the area within two parallel planes formed by extending the outer edges of the conductors horizontally outward and perpendicular to the ground. In general areas, the extension distance of the outer edges of conductors of various voltage levels is as follows:
1–10 kV: 5 meters
35–110 kV: 10 meters
154–330 kV: 15 meters
500 kV: 20 meters
