7 D1 p2 P) m* L1 s/ K+ H1. A groove may have parallel, converging or diverging sides.8 c8 m" ?: B: {, _* q6 L- Z
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 r! x* R+ I2 g9 e3. Any corner including an angle less than 80° is assumed to be bridged with an insulating link of 1 mm width (0,25 mm for dirt-free situations) moved into the most unfavourable position.1 O7 m. [4 q9 R8 V, y
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 .* D2 g, O) W" M P& O7 i
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.

8. Any air gap less than 1 mm wide (0,25 mm for dirt-free situations) is ignored in computing the total clearance. |
