Minimum phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth clearances change based on system voltage, altitude, and pollution level. For example, at 123 kV, standard clearance is 1.3 meters (indoor) vs 1.6 meters (outdoor).
: IEC 61936-1 provides common rules for the design and erection of AC high‑voltage power installations (>1 kV). A known “story” behind such standards:
Applies to AC systems above 1,000V and frequencies up to 60 Hz. Key Environments:
: Provides the British adoption (BS EN IEC 61936-1:2021).
Does not apply to overhead/underground lines between separate installations, electrified railways, mining equipment, or medical X-ray equipment. IEC Webstore Significant Technical Changes (2021 Update)
Transformers and switchgear located outside of traditional buildings.
