1.6 Notes on special categories of danger
1.6.1 Electrical energy
1.6.1.1 Only use original fuses with stipulated ratings.
Immediately switch off the machine if the electrical supply
fails.
1.6.1.2 When working near overhead lines and overhead
wires, a safety clearance must be kept between the
machine and its working equipment in order to prevent
sparking over. The safety clearance depends on the
nominal voltage of the overhead/wire line. This also applies
to the distance between the lines and to the attachments
and slung loads.
The following safety clearance must be observed to meet
the above mentioned requirement:
Nominal voltage Safety clearance
(kilovolts) (metres)
up to 1 kV 1.0 m
from 1 kV to 110 kV 3.0 m
from 110 kV to 220 kV 4.0 m
over 220 kV to 380 kV 5.0 m
unknown voltage 5.0 m
When approaching overhead lines, all working movements
of the machine must be taken into consideration, e.g. the
position of jibs, the swinging of ropes and the dimensions
of attached loads.
In addition, attention must be paid to any roughness of soil
which could cause an inclined position of the machine,
thus getting it closer to the overhead line.
The fact that overhead lines may swing out during windy
weather and may reduce the distance must also be taken
into consideration.
