Safe distance between power storage station and residence

How far away should a power line be?

The recommended safe distances vary depending on the voltage of the power lines. For example, the ICNIRP guidelines recommend a minimum distance of 50 meters for power lines with a voltage of 220-380 kilovolts and a minimum distance of 10.5 meters for power lines with a voltage of up to 110 kilovolts.

How far should a substation be from a residential area?
