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.. J* O5 a; I) Q
6. Creepage distances and clearances measured between parts moving relative to each other are measured when these parts are in their most unfavourable stationary positions., e0 W/ y( j+ b7 `2 z
7. A computed creepage distance is never less than a measured clearance.' L7 A1 g P4 O- {. I' q
8. Any air gap less than 1 mm wide (0,25 mm for dirt-free situations) is ignored in computing the total clearance. |
