A safe distance must be maintained from power lines of different voltage levels: greater than 1. 5m for 110KV, and greater than 3. (2) Due to the extreme fragility of optical Fiber Core s, tension and lateral pressure must not be excessive. TECHNICAL GUIDELINE July 30, 2020 TG030 Rev. 4 Pathway Separation Between Telecommunication Cables and Power Cables Communications cables are, by design or necessity, often installed in close proximity and/or in the same pathway as power service cables. These requirements are now distributed across Chapter 7—primarily Articles 725, 760, 770, 805, and 820. cable RThis section outlines the general requirements for the design and construction of 110 kV, 220 kV and 400 kV underground cable systems which will be connected to the 110 kV, 220 kV and 400 kV transmission system operated by EirGrid.
