Abstract :

In the electricity industry, the privacy of power lines is the hypothetical range on either side of the power transmission line that is determined in order to maintain the lines for the continuity of power supply and also to prevent human damage caused by electricity radiation. Respect for this privacy is essential for all individuals. The privacy of power lines is technically derived from three factors: magnetic, mechanical and electrical, and the amount and method of determining the privacy of power transmission lines in different countries is different, and in each country different distances are set according to the factors involved in determining privacy. In Iran, the amount of privacy of power transmission and distribution lines is determined based on the approval No. 29052 dated 8/10/1347. In this article, using the rules and executive instructions of the power transmission line route, the condition of the towers as well as the observance of the relevant boundaries in the study area of Semnan city has been studied. The results show that in terms of privacy, most of the power towers in the study area are in relatively good condition. Examples of the reviewed documents, including privacy and non-compliance, have been provided along with the relevant maps to eliminate intrusion.
