8 rules for creepage distance and clearance: P$ O' B. [, `, y) z! q
2 _+ m3 R7 b3 E9 R1. A groove may have parallel, converging or diverging sides./ u4 G( L, H8 i- h
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.; R8 [( ?( d4 t
3. 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.
2 x* C1 L n* P6 }. H; f$ w4 n3 \' y4 @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 .

7. A computed creepage distance is never less than a measured clearance.
