8.0.5 Height of Main Bus h = 8 m

Vertical Clearance between lower most

8.0.6 = 4.61
Conductor and equipment
Minimum clearance between phase to phase for
8.0.7 = 4.2 m
400kV

Since the calculated vertical clearance between Equipment and Lower most conductor is greater than the
minimum clearance between phase to phase, The selected height of tower 15m is adequate.
