What is the minimum height requirement for non-enclosed transformer stations above the ground?

The minimum height requirement for non-enclosed transformer stations above the ground is set at 15 feet. This specific height standard ensures that the transformers are safely elevated to reduce the risk of accidental contact, which could pose safety hazards for workers and the general public. Additionally, this height can help prevent damage due to flooding or other environmental factors. Adhering to this standard is crucial for maintaining safe operational practices in surface mining and ensuring that electrical equipment is adequately protected.
