How far above the top level of a window can service conductors run?

Service conductors must be installed with adequate clearance above the highest point of a window to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. The National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies that service conductors should be at least 3 feet above the top level of a window. This requirement is in place to prevent accidental contact or interference with window operation and to minimize the risk of electric shock to individuals who may be leaning out of the window. Adhering to this clearance helps ensure that electrical installations are safe and do not pose hazards in residential settings.
