Default How far is far enough

Just curious, we all know one shouldn't fly too close to overhead power lines. Ten feet is way too close, 5 miles is obviously more than enough distance... How far away is "safe enough?"

I guess my rule of thumb is 3 times the length of the lines...Interested in what others use as a guideline or if there is an "official" number.

best regards and Merry Christmas to all!
