PEC CLEARANCES
CLEARANCES:
a) Above Roofs.
• Conductors shall have a vertical clearance of not less
than 2,500 mm from the roof surface.
b) Vertical Clearance from Ground.
• 3,100 mm – at the electric service entrance to
buildings, or at the drip loop of the building electric
entrance, or above areas or sidewalks
• 3,700 mm – for those areas listed in the 4,600 mm
classification when the voltage is limited to 600 volts
to ground.
• 4,600 mm – over residential property and
driveways, and those commercial areas not subject
to truck traffic.
• 5,500 mm – over public streets, alleys, roads,
parking areas subject to truck traffic, driveways on
other than residential property, and other land
C. Service Conductors
• 900 mm (3 ft) - Service conductors installed
as open conductors or multiconductor
cable without an overall outer jacket shall
have a clearance of not less than 900 mm
(3 ft) from windows that are designed to be
opened, doors, porches, balconies, ladders,
stairs, fire escapes, or similar locations.
Overhead spans of open conductors and open
multiconductor cables of not over 1000 volts,
nominal, shall have a clearance of not less than the
following:
3.0 m (10 ft) - above finished grade, sidewalks, or
from any platform or projection that will permit
personal contact where the voltage does not exceed
150 volts to ground and accessible to pedestrians
only
4.5 m (15 ft) - for those areas listed in the 3.7 m (12
ft) classification where the voltage exceeds 300 volts
to ground
7.5 m (241/2 ft) - over track rails of railroads
ALERT SATES
Blue Alert - when tropical disturbances are expected
to landfall within 24 hours
Yellow Alert – when contingency reserve is less than
the capacity of the largest synchronized generating
unit or power import from a single interconnection
whichever is higher.
Red Alert – when grid contingency reserve is zero,
generator deficiency reserve exists or there is critical
loading imminent overloading of transmission line
or equipment.

HAZARDOUS LOCATION CLASSIFICATION
ACCORDING TO PEC
• Class I locations are those in which flammable
vapors and gases may be present.
• Class II locations are those in which combustible
dust may be found.
• Class III locations are those which are hazardous
because of the presence of easily ignitable fibers or
flyings.
