1 Answer

Answer :

(i) Minimum clearance between cable and water pipe line when running in parallel:-

 0.5 mtr.

(ii) Minimum clearance between cable and water pipe line when running in parallel:-

 0.5 mtr.

(iii) If cable is laid through pipe what should be diameter of pipe:-

 Diameter of pipe is 2 to 3 cm, greater than cable diameter

(iv) When more than one cable is to be laid in the same trench, what should be minimum

spacing between two cables :-

 Then minimum 30 cm spacing is provided between 2 cables
