What is the clearance between a 7500 volt phase to phase cable and a communication cable in a joint uplift manhole?

The correct clearance between a 7500 volt phase-to-phase cable and a communication cable in a joint uplift manhole is established based on safety regulations and to prevent electrical interference or potential hazards. The recognized standard clearance for such high-voltage installations is 6 inches. This distance is designed to minimize the risk of electrical arcing or contact between the high-voltage cable and lower-voltage communication cables, ensuring safe operation and reducing the likelihood of damage or failure in the systems involved.

Clearances are crucial in electrical installations; adhering to the proper specifications helps maintain operational safety and integrity of the electrical infrastructure.
