Bibliography

Gives guidance for the calculation of electrical distances between live and earthed parts required to prevent air-gap breakdown which may endanger members of the public who legitimately come close to live parts. Applicable only to overhead lines designed to operate at more than 45 kV phase-to-phase a.c. It manages the electrical component of distances between conductors and movable objects - vehicles on the ground, vessels on water, persons on top of objects or on the ground, wildlife on the ground (but not airborne), etc.
