What is the purpose of clearance requirements in the National Electric Safety Code?

The purpose of the NESC is to provide safety for the public from utility lines. It governs clearances and other items that could create hazards for the public or hamper public servants from performing their duties. Examples are clearances of electric lines from pools, or from earth to conductor heights or conductors in front or around windows. The distance poles are from fire hydrants is another example of an NESC violation and serves as an example of hampering someone from performing their duty. It should not be confused with the National Electrical Code (NEC) which is for house and premise wiring methods and is not followed by electric utilities.
