Whether you're purchasing a new grain bin or remodeling areas that contain existing ones, proximity to overhead power lines must be considered.
The National Electrical Safety Code requires
Changes to landscaping and drainage work can affect clearance heights of power lines, so check these measurements regularly.
High voltage power lines are not insulated, so it's important to maintain an adequate high-wire clearance when using a portable auger, conveyor or elevator to fill your grain bin.
When moving equipment, be aware of nearby power lines. Remember to maintain a 10 ft clearance to ensure safety.
