RUS Bulletin 1724E-154
The following minimum horizontal clearances (rounded up to the nearest whole numbers) between electric supply conductors for standard RUS distribution voltages are based on NESC Rule 235B1a:
The main distribution box shall be located in the area close to the power supply; the distribution box shall be installed in the area with relatively concentrated electrical equipment or load; the dis...

The following minimum horizontal clearances (rounded up to the nearest whole numbers) between electric supply conductors for standard RUS distribution voltages are based on NESC Rule 235B1a:
The wire inlets and outlets in the distribution box and switch box shall be set at the lower bottom of the box. It is strictly prohibited to set them at the top, side, back or door of the box.
The distance between raceway entries enclosing the same conductor must be at least six times the trade size of the largest raceway, measured from the raceways'' opening nearest edge to nearest edge.
Is there a suggested or required distance that a pullbox needs to be? This is on a run of approx. 300 feet.
Overhead distribution primary conductors require a minimum 3 m horizontal clearance from any structure or working area, and a 4.3 m vertical clearance from any structure, working area or
Distribution box and switch box should not exceed 30 meters. The horizontal distance between switchbox and fixed electrical equipment should not exceed 3m.
HORIZONTAL CLEARANCES WHAT IS MY SAFE DISTANCE? TIP 1 Install yard light a minimum 0.3 metres below lowest voltage service, but never directly beneath the TIP 2
The distance between a distribution board and a switch box shall not exceed 30 meters. The horizontal distance between a switch box and its controlled fixed electrical equipment should preferably not
The aisle (s) between pieces of such equipment, with live parts on both sides of the aisle, must be at least 4 feet wide. If the voltage exceeds 600, clearance must be increased even further.
Overhead service conductors must stay at least 3 feet away horizontally from any window that opens, as well as from doors, porches, balconies, and fire escapes. This prevents someone
