Which category of clearances does Table 225.60 cover?

• A. Roadways, walkways, rail, water, open land, lakes, and rivers
• B. Only roadways
• C. Only interior spaces
• D. Electrical equipment rooms

Answer: (A)

Table 225.60 covers outdoor clearance requirements for locations that are accessible or public, not just inside a building. It lists the minimum distances for conductors and equipment from various outdoor spaces such as roadways, walkways, rail, water, and open land (including lakes and rivers). That broad range of categories reflects the safety needs for electrical installations in public or outdoor environments, where people and vehicles might come into contact with lines or equipment. So the correct option is the one that includes roadways, walkways, rail, water, open land, lakes, and rivers. The other choices are too narrow, focusing only on interior spaces or specific rooms, which Table 225.60 does not cover.
