Increased Clearances Clause Samples

Increased Clearances. Conductors in the upper position at the crossing, except guys or cables supported by suspension strand, should have greater clearances than given in Paragraphs E-3 and E-5 under the following conditions. The increases in (a), (b) and (c) below are cumulative. An example illustrating the method of determining the clearance between power wires and communication wires where an open wire communication line crosses over railroad tracks and under an open wire power line in the same span is given in Appendix K.

Increased Clearances. Conductors in the upper position at the crossing, except guys or cables supported by suspension strand, should have greater clearances than given in Paragraphs E-3 and E-5 under the following conditions. The increases in (a), (b) and (c) below are cumulative. An example illustrating the method of determining the clearance between power wires and communication wires where an open wire communication line crosses over railroad tracks and under an open wire power line in the same span is given in Appendix K. (a) For crossing spans longer than specified in Paragraphs E-4 and E-5 (b), clearances should be increased as follows: (1) The clearances given in Tables E-l and E-2 should be increased by the following amounts for each 10 ft. by which the crossing span length exceeds the limits specified in Paragraphs E-4 and E-5(b): Table E-3 Recommended Clearance Increase Increments Amount of Increase per 10 ft. Loading District Large Conductors Small Conductors* Heavy and Medium 0.15 ft. 0.30 ft. Light 0.10 ft. 0.15 ft. * A small conductor is a conductor having an overall diameter of metallic material equal to or less than the following values: Outside Diameter of Conductor (Inch) Material Solid Stranded All copper 0.160 0.250 Other than all copper 0.250 0.275 (2) If the crossing point is located elsewhere than at mid-span of the conductors in the upper position, the required clearance may be obtained by multiplying the clearance determined in (1) above by the appropriate reduction factors specified in Table E-4. The factors to be used in any case will depend upon the basic clearance required by Tables E-l and E-2, and in no case should the clearance, after the reduction factor has been applied, be less than such basic clearance. In applying these factors, the point of crossing in the case of a railroad crossing is the track rail which is farthest from the nearer support of the crossing span. In other situations, it is the location under the conductors of any topographical feature which is the determinant of the clearance. -13- Association of American Railroads Communication Manual 1989 Part 1-B-1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table E-4 Recommended Clearance Reduction Factors Distance from Nearer Support Basic Clearance of Crossing Span to Point of Crossing, in Percent of Crossing 4 Ft. 6 Ft. 27 Ft.
