What are the standard safety measures and regulations for working on or near an 11kv overhead line?

2025-08-13

Safety is paramount in all electrical work. On behalf of Ningbo Changshi, we emphasize adherence to strict safety standards, including:

  • De-energizing and Grounding: The primary safety rule is to assume all lines are live until confirmed otherwise. The line must be de-energized and visibly grounded at the worksite before any work begins.

  • Maintaining Safe Clearance Distances: Workers, tools, and equipment must maintain a safe distance from live conductors. These distances are specified in national and international safety regulations (e.g., OSHA, IEC standards).

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All personnel must use appropriate PPE, including insulated gloves, helmets, and safety footwear.

  • Live Line Maintenance: When de-energizing is not an option, specialized live-line tools and techniques must be used by certified professionals to minimize risks. Our equipment is designed to support safe live-line maintenance procedures.

  • Warning Systems: The use of barriers, elevated warning lines, and clear signage is crucial to mark safe work zones and prevent accidental encroachment.
