The following refers to supply service conductors. No attachment point shall exceed 30 feet. Across highways, streets, lanes and alleys not less than 18 feet. Across driveways to residential garages not less than 14 feet. Across driveways to commercial and industrial premises not less than 16 feet. And across ground accessible to pedestrians only not less than 11 feet. Primary conductors clearances are; 2.5 to 23 Kv clearance is 20 feet, 34.5 Kv clearance is 22 feet, 46 Kv clearance is 23 feet, and 69 KV clearance is 25 feet.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
Should you attach the ground wire to the black wires?
No, the ground wire should be attached to the green or bare copper wire. The black wires are typically live or hot wires and should never be connected to the ground wire.
Can you pigtail grounds in a panel in order to prevent double lugging on the neutral bus.?
Yes, pigtail grounds can be used in a panel to prevent double lugging on the neutral bus. By connecting multiple ground wires to a single pigtail wire, you can then connect the pigtail wire to the ground bar in the panel, reducing the number of wires connected directly to the bus bar. This helps prevent overcrowding and potential overheating issues on the neutral bus.
Can neutral and bare copper wires be under the same screw on a bus bare in a single family home electrical panel?
No, it's not recommended to have neutral and grounding wires under the same screw in an electrical panel. They serve different purposes and should be connected to separate terminals to ensure proper functioning of the electrical system and to maintain safety standards. Mixing them under the same screw can lead to potential hazards and code violations.
Hot wires in home wiring are normally colored and ground wires in computers are normally colored?
In home wiring, hot wires are typically colored black or red, while ground wires are usually green or bare copper. In computer wiring, ground wires are typically black, while hot wires are often colored according to industry standards, such as red or yellow.
You have two white wires and two black wires which one is the ground?
black wire is hot wire .And the white is the common or white is ground. Depends on what your talking about in an outlet or car battery. In a outlet the ground wire is green or bare copper. neutral is red and hot is black (I remember it by hot can kill you so black is death) if I am not mistaken. As for a car battery i think it's the opposite red is hot and black is neutral.
Passenger side air bag light on after CD player installed was installed. Check Engine light on?
Check ground wires... and all connections.
Should you attach the ground wire to the black wires?
No, the ground wire should be attached to the green or bare copper wire. The black wires are typically live or hot wires and should never be connected to the ground wire.
Can you put an above ground pool under electric wires?
No! check with your power company.....
What safety precautions should be taken when installing outdoor electrical wire above ground?
When installing outdoor electrical wire above ground, it is important to take safety precautions such as using weatherproof materials, ensuring proper grounding, avoiding overloading circuits, and following local building codes. Additionally, wires should be protected from physical damage and installed at a safe height to prevent accidental contact. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for proper installation and safety measures.
Should there be voltage between the neutral and ground?
No, ideally there should be no voltage between the neutral and ground wires in an electrical system.
Can you install two ground wires in the same raceway?
There should be no reason to install two ground wires in the same conduit. Code requires that only a single path should be required if it is to carry a fault current. This ground wire should be single and continuous from the device back to the distribution panel. It is the fault current that is carried on the ground wire that trips the breaker or fault protection device. Don't confuse grounding wires with bonding wires.
How many wires in a single phase motor?
There should be 2 or 3 wires. A hot, a neutral and sometimes a ground.
How far do overhead wires need to be from above ground pool?
ten feet or more is a nice distance.

Can you pigtail grounds in a panel in order to prevent double lugging on the neutral bus.?
Yes, pigtail grounds can be used in a panel to prevent double lugging on the neutral bus. By connecting multiple ground wires to a single pigtail wire, you can then connect the pigtail wire to the ground bar in the panel, reducing the number of wires connected directly to the bus bar. This helps prevent overcrowding and potential overheating issues on the neutral bus.
Are receptacles installed horizontally or vertically?
The NEC doesn't specify. Generally they are installed vertically with the ground on bottom. In the world that I work in the ground is always installed on top. This is so if a gap exists between an outlet and the plug, anything falling into the gap hits the ground first and not across the hot and neutral wires simultaneously. Expanding on this premise an outlet installed horizontally with the neutral on top is the most safe installation. But I have never seen this done.
Are ground wires required in steel or aluminum flex conduits?
Yes, any flexible conduit that has live wires drawn into it must have a ground wire also installed with the "hot" conductors. The reasoning behind this rule is that the flex in the conduit is coiled and has a long length to it. The continuation of the grounding medium through the tightness of the conduit connectors to the flex was not considered a properly secured grounding system so to overcome this weakness in the grounding system, a ground wire now has to be installed.
