NOTES:
1- close lightning arrester coordination may allow fower lightinig impulse values. Traditional values shown in bold fonl.
2- Minimum metal-to-metal distance may be modified providing prooof of performance is substantiated by dielectric tests.
3- Ground clearance for switches with voltages 362 kv and above are based on switching surge voltage levels. Ref to bibliography. Annex C.
4- The phase spacings in columns 6, 7 and 8 are recomended values. Overall width of switch and bus support energized parts, angle of opening of side break switches, etc. May
allow areduction in phase sapcing dependent upon voltage concentration on sharp proyections. Resultant metal-to-metal distances between phase energized parts should not be
less that shown in column 3.
