Minimum Electrical Clearance For Outdoor Switchgear

 

Phase to Phase & Phase to Earth Clearance for Outdoor Switchgear

  • The minimum clearance between phase to phase and phase to earth and sectional clearance for outdoor switchgear is given as below. 
  • This clearance is specified by considering impulse voltage withstand level. 
  • If the clearance is based on the transient overvoltage on the system, clearance may be higher in those cases.
