1. In case there are trees in the safety corridor of overhead conducting line, the distance is specified as follows:
a) For conducting line with voltage up to 35 kV in cities, towns…, the distance from any point of the trees to the conducting wire in the state of maximum deflection is not less than the distance specified in the following table:
Voltage |
Up to 35 kV |
Distance |
Wrapped wire |
Bare wire |
0,7 m |
1,5 m |
b) For the line with voltage from 110 kV to 500 kV in cities, towns…, the trees must not be higher than the lowest conducting line except for special cases, there must be technical measures to ensure the safety permitted by the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities (provincial People’s Committees). The distance from any point of the trees to the conducting line at the state of maximum deflection must not be less than the distance specified in the following table:
Voltage |
110 kV |
220 kV |
500 kV |
Distance |
Bare wire |
2,0 m |
3,0 m |
4,5 m |
c) For the lines outside cities, towns…, the distance from the highest point of the trees vertically to the height of the lowest conducting line at the state of maximum deflection is not less than the distance specified in the following table:
Voltage |
Up to 35 kV |
110 kV |
220 kV |
500 kV |
Distance |
Wrapped wire |
Bare wire |
Bare wire |
0,7 m |
2,0 m |
3,0 m |
4,0 m |
6,0 m |
d) For the overhead conducting line across special-use forest, protection forest, production forest and garden, the vertical distance from the average height of trees maximally grown to the lowest conducting line at the state of maximum deflection must not be less than distance specified at Point c, Clause 1 of this Article.
2. In case the trees are outside the safety corridor of overhead conducting line and outside the cities, towns…, the distance from any part of tree when the tree falls to any part of line must not be less than the distance specified in the following table:
Voltage |
Up to 35 kV |
110 và 220 kV |
500 kV |
Distance |
0,7 m |
1,0 m |
2,0 m |
3. For trees which rapidly grow within 03 months and possibly violate the distance specified in Clause 1 and 2 of this Article. For the trees which have no longer economic efficiency must be fallen and not be planted again.
4. Rice, crops and plants must only be planted at least 0.5 m from the pole foundation and sleeper.
