After enactment of Electricity Act 2003, the Indian Electricity Act 1910 stood repealed as per Section 185 of EA 2003. However the savings from the same section clause (2) (c) states that: “the Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 made under section 37 of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 (9 of 1910) as it stood before repeal shall continue to be in force till the regulation under section 53 of this Act are made” As per the powers conferred to Central Electricity Authority (CEA), by section 177 clause (2) (b) read with section 53 of Electricity Act 2003, stating to provide ‘suitable measures relating to safety and electric supply’notified Regulations were published on website of CEA.

Neatral was not disconnted. what was reason of high voltage between neutral to earth. Reply Jignesh.Parmar says: November 6, 2012 at 4:58 pm You will not get any difficulty in three phase load but get serious voltage various ion between Phase and Neutral in single Phase Load. There are lots of Possibility of getting Voltage between Earth & Neutral. (1) Neural Broken. (2) Dry Neural Earthing Pit. electricalnotes.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/minimum-electrical-clearance-2/

Sir, For high voltage testing of SF6 GCB the clearances of 150kV/meter is sufficent or not??? Please mention both clearances i.e. vertical & horizontal. Reply Tushar Patel says: January 10, 2013 at 6:45 pm Dear Sir, Recently i’ve bought a duplex in baroda and after i bought it, i get to know that my duplex is near to this Hyper Tension wire line. after discussion with the builder i found that he has left 12.30ft space between the house and the H. T. Line. I would like to know whether it would be sufficient distance between house and H. T. Line? would there be any precaution i should take? the house is ground+1 floor, can we build 2nd floor if we want to in future? can there be any health issues if we leave close by H. T. Line with the distance of 12.30ft? I do hope that you would be kind enough to enlighten me with your knowledge and experience. Thanks Tushar Reply ram says: January 14, 2013 at 8:28 am Dear sir I am planing to purchase 1 plot near HT lines. Distance between ht line & plot is 15m .
