shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as
possible at right angles to it.
If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are
installed near an overhead power line, the clearances shall
not be less than those shown in the table below.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal
fences
Power line voltage
≤1000 V
>1000 V to ≤33,000 V
>33,000 V
If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are
installed near an overhead power line, their height above
the ground shall not exceed 3 m (10'). This height applies
to either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost
conductors of the power line on the ground surface, for a
distance of:
2 m (6'6") for power lines operating at a nominal
