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.
/ L7 p4 }5 q1 h! J6 X3. 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.

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.( ~( f0 Z2 t' Q& _+ h+ U

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