2. Any groove having diverging sides, a minimum width exceeding 0,25 mm, a depth exceeding 1,5 mm and a width at the bottom equal to or greater than 1 mm, is regarded as an air gap.

4. Where the distance across the top of a groove is 1 mm (0,25 mm for dirt-free situations) or more, no creepage distance exists across the air space .) ?; e% }: ~8 y* G9 C; J
5. A creepage path is assumed not to exist if there is an air gap as defined in item 2 above exceeding 0,25 mm.
. Q C. d$ W7 B6. Creepage distances and clearances measured between parts moving relative to each other are measured when these parts are in their most unfavourable stationary positions.$ Q; D8 }% R: F
7. A computed creepage distance is never less than a measured clearance.. W3 F+ P, }9 ~
8. Any air gap less than 1 mm wide (0,25 mm for dirt-free situations) is ignored in computing the total clearance. |
