Topic:"Distribution" in M12104

How do they want the complaint resolved? I would like to have the current situation remediated so that we are in a position of safety and meeting the current code.I would suggest that either the appropriate poles be installed to create the...

AI summary The complainant, Martin Tanner, requests that the current unsafe power distribution lines be remediated either by installing appropriate poles or burying the lines. He emphasizes the importance of safety over temporary fixes and references a similar situation in Lunenburg where lines were buried due to safety regulations. Supporting documents, including emails, are attached.

AI summary The document compares minimum clearance distances for overhead power lines from buildings and ground, referencing CSA standards and Nova Scotia Power Inc. standards. Horizontal and vertical clearance requirements are outlined, with measurements provided in both meters and feet.

3. Field Measurements and Remedial Work: With the assistance of the Riverport Electric Light Commission (RELC) the original horizontal and vertical clearance distances were measured from the Tanner Residence to the RELC 7.2kV, single phase...

AI summary This section discusses field measurements and remedial work conducted with the assistance of the Riverport Electric Light Commission (RELC) to determine the original horizontal and vertical clearance distances from the Tanner Residence to the RELC 7.2kV, single phase open/bare conductor.

BACKGROUND You are a customer of RELC. In your complaint, you stated that you purchased the property located at , in August 2024. While working on the property, you noticed that the RELC's electrical distribution lines are situated in clos...

AI summary A customer of RELC raised concerns about the proximity of electrical distribution lines to their property, citing potential safety risks. RELC responded that there are no Board-approved regulations on minimum clearance distances and that a third-party engineering report found no compliance issues. RELC also noted that the deck was likely built after the lines were installed.

the deck to those distribution lines and equipment is likely a result of subsequent construction and so should not require changes to the pre-existing configuration in any event. [Exhibit T-2, p. 2] RELC did not initially provide the Strum...

AI summary The document discusses the lack of clearance measurements by Strum Engineering, reliance on RELC and Google Earth data, and a response from the utility regarding property modifications and distribution line clearance requirements.
