Distancebetween overhead power lines and houses?
20 feet.
How many feet away from overhead power lines should mechanical equipment be?
This depends on voltage level, line configuration, line height, loading, sensitivity of equipment, and on and on. The further away the better. Voltage can be induced on equipment near power lines, so I recommend grounding out your equipment as well as possible just in case.
How does humidity effect power lines?
Electricity has the ability to arc or jump up to almost 20 feet. When power lines have a high amount of voltage running through them, and the humidity is high, the electricity can arc even more that 20 feet.
How far should a scissor-lift be kept from power lines?
As far as possible! Here are the OSHA requirements. If the voltage is unknown stay 18 feet away. 13,000 - 69,000 volts10 feet115,000 - 138,000 volts11 feet230,000 volts13 feet500,000 volts18 feet This is no joke, the current will arc to equipment too close to the lines, and may make it near impossible to rescue the equipment operator. It's like being struck by lightning.
How far away should a power plug be from another power plug?
The distance between electrical outlets in a home will depend on what country of origin you're from and also what type of power supply service you have. In the United States and Canada, that run on a 60 hertz power supply service, the general rule of thumb is spacing of about 12 feet between each outlet along the walls of your home. The distance between outlets around your kitchen counters is much shorter. About 4 feet of space is required between each plug.
When do special precautions need to be taken when working near overhead electric power lines?
Usually you would want to stay at least 10 feet away from power lines. Any conductive material you are working with also has to be at least 10 feet away (metal extension ladder).

Do ducks commonly sit on power lines?
I have seen many types of birds sitting on power lines, but never a duck. That would be an outstanding balancing act considering they have webbed feet!

What should be the distance between two forklift traveling in the same direction?
20 feet
I am interested in using an overhead crane for my business.How far away should you be from power lines when operating one?
The distance needed to be from powerlines is based on your local city ordinances. Most cities requires you to be about 15 feet at least from various powerlines.
What is the minimum number of feet you should be to avoid being electrocuted by overhead power lines up to 50kV?
all workers which includes the nearest point of the equipment they are operating, must stay 20 feet away from any power line if they do not know the voltage of the line; however, there are some power lines with very high voltages (over 250,000 volts) that more than 20 feet is required, but these high voltages lines are rare and usually semi obvious. If you know the voltage of the line, you may use the voltage chart found on google or the OSHA website that give you the distance you must maintain, still based on the voltage of the line. Workers, equipment, or material that must enter a less than 10 feet radius of a power line must be de-energized before working in that area, you should contact a specialist from the power company to advise you on your options. Failure to de-energize a line when working less than 10 feet is very risky since electricity has been know to jump off power lines onto equipment, people, or any object that offers the least resistance to the ground.
