What it checks
Check the closest horizontal approach between a wind-swept fixed line-post conductor and a railway, building, sign, pipeline, or similar reference.

Horizontal Clearance Calculator
Check the closest horizontal approach of a wind-swept distribution conductor to railways, buildings, signs, and objects.
Using this calculator
Inputs and method
The tool combines support dimension A, calculated conductor swing, and reference distance B. Where the selected object also has a vertical requirement, the same span information is used for an elevation-profile check.
Design use
Measure to the correct reference edge and apply project allowances. Confirm that the selected conductor category and obstruction type match the actual installation.
Engineering aid only. Verify the inputs, assumptions, results, and applicable project requirements before use in a final design.
